Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or
replacing damaged teeth, restoring their
health, function, and appearance. It
addresses issues like decay, trauma, or
wear, aiming to bring teeth back to their
natural state or improve upon it. Common
restorative procedures include fillings,
crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures.
What qualifies for a dental emergency?
What is considered a dental emergency?
Severe toothache.
Badly cracked tooth.
Knocked-out tooth.
Extruded (partially dislodged) tooth.
Dental abscess (swelling of your face and jaw).
Lost or broken dental restoration.
Severe soft tissue injury (like a busted lip or deep
cut).
Tooth extraction is a dental
procedure that involves removing a
tooth from its socket in the
jawbone. It is a surgical procedure
that may be necessary for various
reasons, including:
Impacted teeth: Teeth that are
unable to erupt properly due to
lack of space or other obstacles.
Dental decay: Severe decay that
has damaged the tooth beyond
repair.
Gum disease: Infection of the gums
that has weakened the tooth's
support.
Dental fillings are materials
used to restore the structure
and function of a tooth that
has been damaged by decay or
injury. They are placed after a
dentist removes the decayed
or damaged portion of the
tooth, and they help prevent
further decay and maintain the
tooth's integrity.
Dental implants are essentially
artificial tooth roots, typically
made of titanium, that are
surgically placed into the
jawbone to support
replacement teeth. They
provide a durable and long-
lasting solution for missing
teeth, offering a more natural
feel and function compared to
other options like dentures or
bridges.
Periodontics is a branch of
dentistry that focuses on the
diagnosis, prevention, and
treatment of diseases affecting
the gums and supporting
structures of the teeth, known
as the periodontium
A root canal is a dental procedure
used to treat infection or damage in
the tooth's pulp, the soft tissue inside
the tooth containing nerves and blood
vessels. It involves removing the
infected or damaged pulp, cleaning
and disinfecting the inside of the
tooth, and then filling it with a bio-
compatible material. A crown is often
placed on the tooth to restore its
strength and function.
A dental cleaning is a
professional procedure
that involves removing
plaque and tartar from
the teeth and gums. It is
an essential part of
maintaining oral health
and preventing gum
disease and cavities.
Cosmetic dentistry refers to a branch of dentistry
that focuses on improving the appearance of teeth
and smile. It encompasses a range of procedures
aimed at enhancing the aesthetics of the oral
cavity, without necessarily addressing underlying
dental health issues.
Cosmetic dentistry procedures may include:
Teeth whitening, Dental veneers, Orthodontics
(braces), Dental implants, Bonding, and Crown
placement.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic
dental procedure that lightens the
color of teeth, making them
appear brighter and whiter. It
works by using bleaching agents,
typically hydrogen peroxide or
carbamide peroxide, to break
down stain molecules on the
tooth surface. While it can't make
teeth perfectly white, it can
lighten the existing color by
several shades.
Porcelain veneers are thin,
custom-made shells crafted from
dental porcelain that are bonded
to the front surface of teeth to
improve their appearance. They
are a popular cosmetic dentistry
option for addressing various
dental imperfections and
enhancing the overall smile.
Dental bonding is a cosmetic
dental procedure that uses a
tooth-colored resin to repair or
enhance the appearance of
teeth. It's a versatile technique
that can fix chipped, cracked,
discolored, or misshapen teeth,
close gaps, and even protect
exposed tooth roots. The
process involves applying,
shaping, and hardening the resin
with a special light, resulting in a
natural-looking restoration.
A dental crown, also known as a tooth
cap, is a restorative covering that
encases a damaged tooth, restoring its
shape, size, strength, and appearance.
Crowns are custom-made to fit
precisely and can be crafted from
various materials like porcelain,
porcelain-fused-to-metal, or gold.
They are used to protect weakened or
cracked teeth, improve the appearance
of discolored or misshapen teeth, or
anchor dental bridges.
Dentists apply fluoride to teeth to
strengthen them and prevent tooth decay.
This can be done in the form of a varnish,
gel, or foam, often during routine dental
check-ups. Fluoride helps protect teeth
by strengthening enamel and inhibiting
the growth of bacteria that cause cavities.
Denture repair is the professional
process of fixing damaged or worn-out
dentures to restore their functionality,
fit, and appearance, typically by a
dentist or dental technician. Repairs can
involve fixing cracks, replacing broken
artificial teeth, or adjusting the denture
base through procedures like relining
(adding material for a tighter fit) or
rebasing (replacing the entire base). It's
essential to have dentures repaired by a
dental professional to avoid issues like
misalignment, discomfort, and further
damage from DIY solutions.
A partial denture is a dental device
designed to replace one or more
missing teeth when some natural teeth
remain in the mouth. It consists of
artificial teeth mounted on a gum-
colored base and is held in place by
clasps that attach to your healthy,
remaining teeth, allowing it to be
removed for cleaning. Partial dentures
restore the ability to eat, speak, and
smile confidently while also preventing
other teeth from shifting out of place.
Dental sealants are thin, plastic
coatings applied to the chewing
surfaces of the teeth, typically the
molars and premolars. They act as a
protective barrier against cavities by:
Blocking bacteria:
.
Sealants fill in the grooves and pits on
the teeth's surface, preventing bacteria
and food particles from accumulating
and causing decay.
