Aesthetic Dentistry
Aesthetic dentistry refers to dental procedures aimed at improving the appearance of your teeth. While general dentistry focuses solely on dental health, aesthetic dentistry addresses the “artistic” aspect of your teeth. It’s worth noting that cosmetic dentistry and aesthetic dentistry are often used interchangeably, though they are slightly different.
Cosmetic dentistry (including veneers and teeth whitening) focuses only on the appearance of your teeth, while aesthetic dentistry also considers health and other important aspects like fixing a missing tooth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a type of denture used to replace a missing tooth in a patient’s mouth. The procedure is called dental implant surgery, where an artificial tooth that looks and functions like a real tooth is used. The shape and structure of the patient’s jawbone are important in determining the type of dental surgery. Reasons for dental implants include:
– Missing teeth
– Improved speech
– Adequate bone to secure the implants
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a procedure that lightens the color of your teeth. It should be carried out by a dentist, hygienist, or dental therapist on the prescription of a dentist. Only visit registered dental professionals at certified health centers for teeth whitening. It is not permanent but can last up to three years, depending on individual care. Consult a medical expert to learn about the benefits and risks of teeth whitening.
Smile Design
Smiling is one of the most important gestures we can make with our facial muscles. Factors affecting the appearance of our smile include stains, discoloration, tooth alignment, and tooth structure integrity.
For a smile design, always visit a certified medical center with experienced doctors and surgeons. With new technologies like 3-D modeling used in dental clinics, your teeth are analyzed to ensure the best results after detailed work by your dentist and ceramist.
Oral, Dental, and Maxillofacial Surgery
Oral, dental, and maxillofacial surgery is a surgical procedure focused on reconstructive surgery of the face after trauma. Maxillofacial surgery involves correcting diseases, injuries, and defects in the face, jaw, or mouth, treating issues with:
– Bones and tissues of the jaw and lower face (maxillofacial area)
– Roof of the mouth
– Teeth
Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment is used to improve the appearance of a patient’s teeth and correct bite issues. This treatment usually starts after a child’s permanent teeth come out, but it can begin at any age for adults. Benefits of orthodontic treatment include:
– Correction of dental crowding
– Straightening of teeth
– Correction of bite
– Reducing the risk of damage to prominent teeth
Prosthetic Dentistry
Prosthetic dentistry, or prosthodontics, involves redesigning damaged teeth after trauma or due to birth defects. It includes:
– Dental Implants: Placed into the jawbone.
– Dentures: Fit the gums and function like natural teeth.
– Dental Veneers: Cover missing teeth with natural-looking shells.
– Dental Bridges: Fill gaps of missing teeth between healthy teeth.
– Dental Crowns: Used if the tooth is chipped, cracked, or worn down.
Pediatric Dentistry
Taking your child to the dentist for the first time can be challenging, but it’s essential for their health. You should do this when their first milk teeth appear. Make the first visit fun so your child doesn’t develop a fear of dental visits. The dentist will advise on how to brush their teeth according to their age and schedule regular follow-up visits.
Root Canal Treatment and Filling
Root canal treatment involves removing the soft center of the tooth (pulp), which includes tissue, nerves, and blood vessels. This procedure is used when filling treatment is insufficient to stop decay, and the inner part of the tooth becomes infected. Conditions that may require root canal treatment include:
– Deep decay
– Chips or cracks in the tooth
– Tooth injury
Bruxism and Temporomandibular Disorders
Bruxism refers to the grinding and clenching of teeth. Symptoms include jaw, neck, and face pain, tooth sensitivity, sleep disruption, and earache-like pain. Temporomandibular disorders cause pain in the jaw joint and muscles controlling jaw movement. If you experience persistent jaw pain, tenderness, or difficulty chewing, consult a doctor to determine if you have temporomandibular disorders.
Gum Disease Treatments (Periodontology)
Gum disease treatments, or periodontology, focus on treating disorders in the gums and teeth. Patients receive advice, diagnosis, and second opinions, and if they meet eligibility criteria, treatment begins. Benefits include more comfortable chewing and better digestion. Symptoms of gum disease include:
– Bleeding gums when brushing teeth
– Red, swollen, and sore gums
Dental Radiology
Dental radiology involves diagnosing hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities. Dental X-rays are usually done annually but may be more frequent if your dentist is tracking a treatment. Types of dental X-rays include:
– Periapical: Focuses on two complete teeth from root to crown.
– Panoramic: The machine rotates around the head.
– Bitewing: Used to check for cavities between teeth.
