Dental care

Patients are admitted in hospitals for the procedures. For more details and free consultation, you can fill in the inquiry form on our website. All your medical queries will be answered.

• Your endodontic referral slip and any x-rays, if applicable. Please note that we may take our own x-rays to provide you with a comprehensive diagnosis.
• A list of medications you are presently taking.
• Important: All patients under the age of 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.
• Please alert the clinic if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to treatment (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.)

Preliminary treatment removes the decay and the source of infection of the pulp, and also determines whether the lost tooth structure can be restored. If a fracture of the tooth has reached the pulp, or infection is associated with gum disease, it could be more difficult, if not impossible, to save the tooth.

Local anaesthesia is administered via injections to numb the tooth to be treated and the surrounding tissues. Dental dam (a thin sheet of rubber or vinyl) used to isolate infected tooth from the rest of mouth to facilitate root canal treatment. A small access hole is drilled for access to the pulp chamber and root canals for treatment. The diseased and dead pulp tissue is removed and root canals and pulp chamber is cleaned and disinfected with antiseptic and antibacterial solutions. Root canal fillings are filled with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha is used to fill the canal space. A temporary or permanent filling material is placed to seal the access hole that was made to treat the canals, and the dental dam is removed. If the tooth lacks sufficient structure to hold a restoration (filling) in place, the dentist or endodontist may place a post (either metal or a very strong plastic) in one of the canals inside the tooth to help retain it. A filling or a crown-is placed as a complete seal to the top of the tooth.

Following the procedure, there may be some discomfort or slight swelling while the incision heals. This is normal for any surgical procedure. To alleviate any discomfort, an appropriate medication will be recommended. When your root canal therapy has been completed, a treatment report including digital images will be taken. A permanent restoration within a few weeks of completion will be placed. Follow up is needed 3 to 6 months after treatment.

Their purpose is to replace teeth loss but it is important to know what advantages has each dental restoration. A bridge is appropriate when there are several teeth remaining (or implanted) in the mouth cavity and the gaps between them are not too large. The teeth located at the border of the gap will serve as support for the future bridge and will be covered by crowns. The dental laboratory fabricates all the items needed and the dentist bonds the crowns to the remaining teeth. The bridge that restores the aspect of the natural teeth can be found between those two crowns. What the patient should know is that the bridges are fixed dental restorations so he or she does not have to remove them for cleaning. Removable dentures are restorations supported by the surrounding tissues of the oral cavity. They are used when there are no left teeth on the arch. The dentist takes the impression of the mouth cavity, sends it to the dental laboratory where the technicians fill the gaps and restore the morphology of every tooth. While waiting for the denture to be bonded, the laboratory provides a provisory arcade meant to recreate the harmony of the mouth and the entire face. In the end, the dentist makes any adjustment needed and fixes the denture by clasping or bonding it using provisory resins. The ill effects of not applying bridges or dentures can be a shift in remaining teeth and gingiva, an inability to bite and chew properly, as well as a sagging facial appearance which makes one appear older than he or she is.

The root cause of gum disease is plaque. Plaque is a film of bacteria that gets formed on the surface of the teeth and gums every day, without you realising

Most of the bacteria in the plaque are harmless. But there are some that cause gum disease. When plaque accumulates in excess, it can harden into a substance called tartar (calculus). This can take less than 24 hours. Tartar is so hard and firmly bound around teeth, that only a professional dentist can remove it during cleaning process.

• Redness in gums.
• Swollen gums.
• Gums that bleed easily.
• Loosening of teeth.
• Frequent bad breath.
• Change in the way your teeth are placed.
• Change in fitting of partial and dentures.

We provide technologically advanced gum treatments. With the incorporation of effective techniques for gum treatment our dentists stop or slow down the development of periodontal disease.

There are several steps involved in the placement of a dental implant, and these steps can vary depending on a number of factors. The first step is to anchor the implant with surgery. Depending on the type of implant, the surgery will "implant" the anchor, in some cases with a post already attached that is used to connect the anchor to the replacement tooth. However in some cases, a second surgery may be necessary to place the post. Once the implant has bonded with the jaw bone and after the gums have healed, an artificial tooth which resembles a natural tooth is made and attached to the implant. The dental implant treatment time varies depending on individual needs but can take a number of appointments and may take up to nine months to complete.

Yes we design that perfect smile for you in less than a week. But how do we do it?

• Step 1- evaluating your existing smile and teeth alignment and designing a tailor made design just for you.
• Step 2- making a treatment plan and selecting materials for crowns and veneers.
• Step 3- preparation of teeth and fabrication of temporary crowns.
• Step 4- Impression making, bite registration and shade selection.
• Step 5- Lab work to fabricate final crowns/veneers.
• Step 6- Fixing of final crowns/veneers.
• Step 7- Bite adjustments and recall visit.

The vital structure of the tooth is covered by dentine and at the surface by enamel, the layer everyone can see. The enamel is white, but the layer is so thin that we can see the dentine, which is a bit yellower in color. While brushing the teeth, we can only action on the enamel and that is the reason why we cannot bleach our teeth at home. While whitening the teeth, the very first step is to put gel onto them and then, using the laser, the dentist will help the gel penetrate even the deepest structures. The laser bleaching needs to be done in three different steps of twenty minutes each. It is important to know that teeth have the tendency to recolor especially in the first three months after the procedure, but the whitening effect will last up to two years. It is not recommended to bleach your teeth at home because there is the risk to damage their structures. Another important thing to remember is that the teeth are more sensitive after the procedure; thus, it is likely the dentist will recommend a dentifrice that will reduce or minimize the sensitivity.

There are number of instruments, both fixed and removable, that are used to help move teeth, retrain muscles and affect the growth of the jaws. These instruments work by placing gentle pressure on the teeth and jaws. The orthodontist will determine the severity of your problem and help in choosing the best orthodontic approach that will suit you.
