Dental X-rays are black-and-white pictures of the hard tissues of the mouth such as teeth and bone. They are used as a diagnostic tool following clinical examination in order to detect hidden cavities, wisdom teeth as well as bone loss. Dental X-rays are generally safe with extremely low levels of radiation thus minimizing the harmful effects of radiation to a very minimal.
There are two types of dental x-rays

Intraoral – These show a few teeth, and help in detecting cavities as well as bone loss between teeth.

Extraoral 

These show a wider view of all the teeth as well as bone, temporomandibular joints, infections and impacted teeth.

Investing in your teeth will serve you a lifetime of scrumptious foods and a radiant healthy smile. Modern day dentistry can cost exorbitant amounts, not to mention the time, pain and anxiety you may have to go through. It is always wise to make a little time for a preventive regimen than endure the consequences of neglect and procrastination.It is essential to have a dental consultation and basic dental cleaning (scaling and polishing procedures) once every six months. The dentist will carry out a thorough examination to catch any early signs of cavities, gum disease or other more fatal diseases such as cancers. Most problems in the mouth usually go undetected until a later stage where treatment may be more invasive and costly. After a thorough check-up, the dentist may advice certain investigations such as X-rays to confirm certain diagnosis. He/ she will then advice treatments required catering to your individual needs. These may include the following:
ORAL HYGIENE EDUCATION AND INSTRUCTIONS:

DIETARY COUNSELING:

SCALING AND POLISHING
Tarter/ calculus and plaque deposit in teeth and gums is a common phenomenon in most people. This is a hard deposit of calcium, bacteria, salivary components, and food. If it’s left in place for a long time, it can lead to gum disease or cavities. Fissure Sealant Fissure sealants are a protective layer applied to the fissures in your teeth to prevent tooth decay. Since teeth have deep fissures and pits that can trap food and bacteria becoming difficult to clean and developing cavities, it is ideal to seal those pits and fissures to ensure the surface is smooth and it does not provide room for food to get stuck.

Preventive Dentistry

Dental Implants are replacement of roots of teeth placed in the jaw bone used to replace a missing tooth, several missing teeth or all the teeth. They are made from a material known as titanium that is totally biocompatible with the human body similar to hip implants. They feel and act like real teeth and maintain the bone structure of the jaws as well as the facial structures. It can be a one or two stage treatment depending on the clinical situation. In a one stage treatment, an implant screw is placed in bone and a tooth attached to the implant. In a two stage treatment, an implant screw is placed in bone, and after about 3-6 months when the implant is completely held by bone, a tooth is then attached to the integrated implant.

Oral Surgery

Gum disease is one of the most prevalent diseases in the society. It is usually a silent disease that stays undetected for years to decades. It may first manifest as loose mobile teeth (one or more tooth) that can be painful or not. This disease affects the teeth support and slowly causes bone to regress leading to loose teeth. Once detected, a regimen of surgical or non-surgical treatment is required to first halt its progression and then reverse the damage. Your dentist will grade the severity of the disease and propose a treatment plan accordingly.

Periodontic Treatment

This is a branch of dentistry that helps in the diagnosis, prevention and correction of misaligned teeth. This can straighten teeth and move them into more favourable positions improving on the smile, appearance as well as function. Teeth are moved using braces that are attached onto the teeth. The total treatment time can range from between 1-2 years depending on the extent of the problem. There are different types of braces, depending on the clinical need, the dentist will advise you on what best treatment option would suit you. Once the treatment is over, retainers are placed to hold the moved teeth in their new position so that stable bone forms around the teeth reducing the chances of relapse.

Orthodontics And Braces

If you’re having sensitivity or pain on eating cold or hot, you might be having a tooth cavity.
FILLING
Cavities develop as a result of sugary foods that remain lodged in teeth and attract cariogenic (cavity-causing bacteria) that break down the sugar to produce an acid that will break down the structure of the tooth and form a cavity. These require removal of all the bacteria and softened tooth structure and replace it with a filling/ restoration. We provide white- tooth colored restorations and silver amalgam restoration. Both these material have their own pros and cons and are used in different situations. Your dentists will advice you on the best material for your specific problem. Dentures A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Two types of dentures are available Complete and Partial Dentures. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain   Teeth Whitening What is teeth whitening? Teeth whitening involves bleaching your teeth to make them lighter. It can’t make your teeth brilliant white, but it can lighten the existing colour by several shades. Who can do teeth whitening? Teeth whitening is a form of dentistry and should only be carried out by a dentist or another regulated dental professional, such as a dental hygienist or dental therapist, on the prescription of a dentist. Crowns and Bridges A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap. Dentists use crowns to restore weak, broken, or decayed teeth. A crown fits over your entire tooth, like a snug hat. To ensure a proper fit, a dentist will need to remove a small amount of enamel before bonding your new crown in place. A dental bridge is a false tooth (pontic) held in place by the teeth on either side of the gap. Although pontics can be made from a variety of materials such as gold, typically, they’re made from porcelain to aesthetically blend in with your natural teeth. Onlays Onlays are indicated when there is a need to protect weakened tooth structure without additional removal of tooth tissue unlike a crown. They are a more conservative option to restore teeth in cases where a tooth cannot accommodate a normal filling.
