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.
Oral surgery refers to any surgical procedure performed on your teeth, gums, jaws or other oral structures. This includes extractions, implants, gum grafts and jaw surgeries. Oral surgery is usually performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or a periodontist. These are dental specialists who have advanced training in oral surgery procedures.
Dental veneers are custom-made shells that fit over the front surfaces of your teeth. They conceal cracks, chips, stains and other cosmetic imperfections. Veneers are one of the most common cosmetic dentistry treatments. There are several types of veneers available, depending on your specific goals.
Teeth whitening is a dental procedure that helps transform discolored or stained teeth into stunning white, bright teeth by utilizing teeth whitening technology, the LED Light System, and high-quality bleaching products to stimulate the disintegration of the whitening gel, which help turn discolored teeth into white, bright, and natural-looking teeth. The treatment restores the teeth to a pearly white, shining condition and helps a treated person regain confidence with a sunny smile.
Scaling (Deep Teeth Cleaning) is a routine procedure done to remove stubborn tartar and plaque build-up from below the gum line.
After scaling, dentists would then polish your teeth with a polishing paste and a rotating rubber cup, to improve the appearance of your teeth.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that restores a decayed, broken, weak or worn-down tooth. Dentists also use crowns to cover dental implants and root canal-treated teeth.
Dental bridges replace missing teeth. They can restore chewing function, enhance your appearance and improve your oral health. A dental bridge consists of crowns that fit over your natural teeth on either side of the space and artificial teeth that “bridge the gap” in your smile.
A root canal treatment is a dental procedure to remove inflamed or infected pulp on the inside of the tooth which is then carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled 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.
A tooth extraction is a procedure to remove a tooth from the gum socket. There are several reasons people have a tooth pulled, including, a deep infected tooth, overcrowded or poorly positioned teeth, gum disease that loosens or damages teeth, tooth injury from trauma, and impacted teeth that are causing problems, such as the wisdom teeth.
