Consultation
A dental consultation helps you find the right dental practice and the right dental services to meet your needs and expectations. During a consultation, our cosmetic dentists can tell you more about the high-quality services and advanced technology we offer. If you decide to become one of our patients, we provide a new patient examination to establish your dental needs and how we can improve your oral health.
Extraction
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. If a tooth has been broken or damaged by decay, your dentist will try to fix it with a filling, crown or other treatment. Sometimes, though, theres too much damage for the tooth to be repaired. In this case, the tooth needs to be extracted. A very loose tooth also will require extraction if it cant be saved, even with bone replacement surgery (bone graft).
RESTORATION. GIC
Fillings are special materials that your dentist places on your teeth to repair tooth decay (cavities) or defects. Fillings (Restorations) restore the tooth to normal form and function. Glass ionomer cement (GIC) is a self-adhesive restorative material. Chemically, it is a combination of fluoro-aluminosilicate glass powder and polyacrylic acid liquid. Self Cure GIC is preferable as a restorative material to Light cured GIC, or resin modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC)
RESTORATION. LC
Fillings (Restorations) restore the tooth to form and function. Composite restorations are a white, tooth color durable material utilized to match the natural aesthetics of your adjacent teeth. They are made from powdered glass quartz, silica or other ceramic particles added to a resin base. After the tooth is prepared, the filling is bonded onto the area and a light shone onto it to set it. It has replaced older amalgam filling materials.
Restn. Temp./ IRM
Temporary dental restorations are just what they sound like – temporary! They are not meant to be a permanent solution, but rather a stop-gap measure until a more permanent restoration can be placed. Your dentist will select the material that is best for you based on your treatment plan and how long you will need to wear them. Materials used in the dental office for making provisional restorations Intermediate filling procedure specially used in multiple sitting RCT.
CUSPAL GRINDING
Teeth are altered by selective grinding to make simultaneous cusp tip to cusp tip contact on both sides of the arch when the jaws are in left or a right lateral position, balanced occlusion in a static eccentric position exists. Occlusal adjustment by selective grind ing is a procedure designed to eliminate occlusal interferences in various move ments of the mandible with the resultant reduction of stresses to the periodontium and temporomandibular joint mechanism.
Wisdom Tooth / IMPACTION
Sometimes a wisdom tooth becomes stuck below the surface of your gums (impacted), and grows at an odd angle, possibly causing complications. Impacted wisdom teeth are third molars at the back of the mouth that don't have enough room to emerge or develop normally. This can lead to a number of oral health problems, including infection, tooth decay and gum disease. Surgical removal is often recommended as treatment for impacted wisdom teeth.
SCALING / SUBGINGIVAL ROOT PLANING (SRP)
Dental scaling is a type of cleaning that uses a special tool to reach plaque and tartar below the gum line. The roots of the teeth are often planed following the scaling, which is good for gum health. Tooth scaling can improve and prevent a wide range of potential gum and teeth issues. A dentist recommends periodontal scaling and root scaling when you have signs of periodontal disease, especially when the symptoms are chronic.
Bleaching
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure recommended for patients who have stained or discoloured teeth. When it comes to teeth whitening, you've got two options: in-office-based teeth bleaching, or at-home care. Both teeth whitening options use peroxide-based bleaching agents. At-home systems contain from 3% to 20% peroxide (carbamide or hydrogen peroxides). In-office systems contain from 15% to 43% peroxide.
REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURE (RPD)
RPD is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. A removable partial denture consists of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base, which is sometimes connected by metal framework that holds the denture in place in the mouth. It is used when one or more teeth remain in upper or lower jaw. New dentures may feel a little odd or loose for a few weeks until the muscles of cheeks and tongue learn to keep them in place and you get comfortable inserting and removing them.
ROOT CANAL TREATMENT (RCT)
ROOT CANAL TREATMENT -alternative procedure of extraction to save tooth.A Root Canal Treatment, commonly abbreviated as RCT is a dental procedure to remove the inflamed or infected pulp from inside of the tooth which is then carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled with Gutta Percha and sealed. Root Canal Treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth. It is an alternative to tooth removal. Upon the RCT-treated tooth, a CROWN is placed generally.
DENTAL BRIDGE
FIXED DENTURE or Dental bridges replace missing teeth,restore chewing function, enhances appearance. It consists of crowns (that fit over natural teeth) and artificial teeth (that “bridge the gap” in your smile). Main four types of dental bridges include: TRADITIONAL BRIDGE- consists of caps on both ends with pontics (artificial teeth) in between. CANTILEVER BRIDGE - only a crown on one end. MARYLAND BRIDGE - resin-bonded bridge uses metal wings instead of crowns to secure your bridge. IMPLANT-SUPPORTED BRIDGE - it rests on a top of dental implants instead of natural teeth.
CROWN PORCELAIN FUSED TO METAL (PFM /MCR)
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns combine the durability of metal and the natural look of porcelain. Dentists can match these crowns to the shade of your own teeth. Despite their strength, PFM crowns have some drawbacks. For example, the porcelain coating may chip off over time, exposing the metal underneath. In addition, PFM crowns may gradually wear down the enamel on your opposing teeth (the teeth that touch your crown when you close your mouth)
CROWN ALL CERAMIC / ZIRCONIA
All-ceramic or porcelain crowns mimic the appearance of tooth enamel more than any other crown type. They’re also a good choice if you have metal allergies. Lab technicians use many different materials to make ceramic crowns, but one of the most popular is zirconium dioxide. Zirconia crowns are extremely durable and can withstand heavier forces than other types of ceramic crowns. They’re also gentle on your opposing teeth, resulting in less enamel wear.
POST & CORE
A post & core buildup connects a tooth that has had a root canal to a crown. It is generally performed on a tooth after a root canal and prior to placing a crown on the tooth. Although not all root canalled teeth need post & cores, many do.Customized metal cast crown post. it is the best way for a durable and strong restoration and is made with precious, semiprecious or other alloys (mainly chromium – cobaltium). ... Prefabricated posts and core. ... All ceramic cast post. ... Metal or Gold – plated screw post.
COMPLETE DENTURE (CD)
Complete dentures can be either "conventional" or "immediate." A conventional denture is ready for placement in the mouth about eight to 12 weeks after the teeth have been removed. Immediate dentures are made in advance and placed as soon as the teeth are removed. As a result, the wearer does not have to be without teeth during the healing period. The denture development process takes a few weeks and several appointments - series of impressions of your jaw, models, wax forms, "try in" denture, final denture .
DENTAL IMPLANT
A DENTAL IMPLANT is a prosthesis that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a crown and bridge. The basis for modern dental implants is a biological process called osseointegration in which materials such as titanium or zirconia form an intimate bond to the bone. The implant fixture is first placed so that it osseointegrates, then a dental prosthetic is added. Success of implants depends on the thickness and health of the bone and gingival tissues that surround the implant, health of the person
MINOR ORAL SURGERY
Minor oral surgery includes removal of retained or burried roots, broken teeth, wisdom teeth and cysts of the upper and lower jaw. It also includes apical surgery and removal of small soft tissue lesions like mucocele, ranula, high labial or lingual frenum etc in the mouth. These procedures are carried out under local anesthesia with or without iv sedation and have relatively short recovery period. Dental procedures will depend on the nature and condition of your teeth and mouth. Major surgeries are comprehensive, while minor ones are merely routinary and easily performed.
ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT
treatment of mal-aligned teeth by removable or fixed appliance. Orthodontics is a dental specialty focused on aligning your bite and straightening your teeth. You might need to see an orthodontist if you have crooked, overlapped, twisted or gapped teeth. Common orthodontic treatments include traditional braces, clear aligners and removable retainers.
ALIGNER
Clear Aligners are transparent trays made of special material which are used to straighten teeth just like braces. They use gentle and constant force to move the teeth in the required position without going through the hassles of metal wires and brackets. They are custom made for each patient through a digital scan. Clear aligners are remarkably effective in moving your teeth. Trays wrap around the entire tooth, from root to tip, and apply gentle but consistent pressure. Your teeth respond by shifting position ever so slightly. With each tray, you move closer to the smile you always wanted
METAL BRACES
Braces can correct a wide range of dental issues, including crooked, gapped, rotated or crowded teeth. The most suitable time for placement of braces is between 10 years and 14 years of age, while the mouth and head are still growing, and teeth are more responsive to straightening. Braces aren't just for kids. Many adults also wear braces to correct minor problems and to improve their smiles.

Xrays (IOPAR/Occlusal/RVG)
Radiological method to see the teeth & the bone. There are different types of dental x-rays that can be taken with the receptor (film, sensor or plate) inside the mouth, called intraoral x-rays, or outside the mouth, called extraoral x-rays. With RVG (RadioVisioGraphy), diagnosis can be made with low doses of X-rays. It is the most commonly used imaging system today. RVG stands for RadioVisioGraphy, digital x-ray. This system is considered to be one of the best advances technology has to offer to dentistry.
DENTAL LASER
Lasers are used to remove decay within a tooth and prepare the surrounding enamel for receipt of the filling. Gum disease. Lasers are used to reshape gums and remove bacteria during root canal procedures. Biopsy or lesion removal.Lasers are safe, accurate, and effective and provide many benefits to the patient. Increased accuracy of the laser energy means less gum tissue and natural pieces of the tooth need to be removed to accomplish the surgery goal.
