Root Canal

root canal treatment

Root canal treatment

The tooth is made up of three layers, such as enamel, dentine, and pulp (the innermost layer). When a tooth has decay, large and deep fillings, cracked or fractured due to an accident or excessive wear of enamel due to grinding, there will be a sign of pulp damage, which includes pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat and cold, discoloration of the tooth, swelling, tenderness of the overlying gums, or a bad taste in the mouth. The RCT saves the teeth that would otherwise be extracted. After the root canal treatment, the tooth can function normally.

  • Removal of inflamed or infected tooth material.
  • Cleaning and Disinfection.
  • Filling and sealing with an inert material.
  • Restoration of the crown with an aesthetic cap.
  • It is a multi-step procedure and may require multiple visits.

FAQ
Root canal treatment is the removal of the nerve and blood vessels of a tooth to try to save the tooth from extraction. A simple analogy is removing the wick from a candle. The void where the wick was is cleaned and smoothed, and then we place a rubber-type material into the cleaned-out space to seal the canal.

The pulp is the soft tissue that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. It lies within the tooth and extends from within the crown of the tooth (that portion of the tooth that is visible) to the tip of the root in the bone of the jaws.

When the pulp is diseased or injured and can’t repair itself, it dies. The most common cause of pulp death is a cracked tooth or a deep cavity. Both of these problems can let germs (bacteria) enter the pulp. Germs can cause an infection inside the tooth. Left without treatment, pus builds up at the root tip, in the jawbone, forming a “pus-pocket” called an abscess. An abscess can cause damage to the bone around the teeth.

Treatment often involves from one to three visits. During treatment, the diseased pulp gets removed. The pulp chamber and root canal(s) of the tooth are then cleaned and they are filled with a rubber-type material that seals the tooth so that no germs enter the tooth.

Dental Fillings

Dental Fillings treatment

A dental filling is a treatment procedure to restore missing tooth structure and its function back to shape, which could have been a result of decay or accidental damage. Decay makes teeth hollow. A dental filling helps to fill this gap and protect it from further decay and damage.

A dental filling is normally required if your tooth is decayed. This treatment procedure can prevent further damage and can protect your tooth.

  • The very first step involved in this process is to inspect and examine the severity of the infection; the reason being that this procedure is only suitable for minor fractures and decay.
  • The dentist then examines the tooth, and if required, an X-ray would be taken for precise information about the extent of the damage.
  • Depending upon the extent of decay, local anesthesia will be administered to make the area around the infected tooth numb.
  • Then the decayed or damaged tooth or the areas around it is prepared for restoration
  • If the tooth is damaged, then a dental air abrasion instrument or a laser can be used to remove the damaged part.
  • A filling ideally of glass ionomer or composite resin is then applied to fill the cavity.
  • The type of filling will depend upon case to case and person to person
  • Finally, the finished tooth can be polished to conclude the dental filling procedure
  • There are various types of fillings like Composite, Ceramic, Glass Ionomer, Gold & Amalgam Fillings.

FAQ

Filling materials used to be silver or flexible, biocompatible cement. Now, the most widely used substance is a tooth-colored plastic composite that is soft at first but hardens to the teeth when exposed to UV light.

Most patients can eat and drink immediately following a filling with no precautions. Your tooth will be good as new and you likely will not be able to see where the filling was done. You may feel some mild sensitivity in the tooth that was filled which should subside within a few days.
If you’ve ever had a filling fall out, you know that they do not last forever. Fillings usually last 3-7 years on average but you need regular dental exams to ensure it’s holding up well. If you see any discoloration, chipping, or darkening beneath the filling, schedule an appointment with your dentist soon. These are often signs that the filling needs to be replaced due to more extensive tooth decay beneath the filling.

When food particles are left behind on the teeth, oral bacteria feed on them and forms plaque. Over time, plaque hardens to form tartar, and bacteria release acids that dissolve the strong outer layer of the teeth, called enamel. This creates a hole, or cavity, for oral bacteria to attack the sensitive tissues inside the teeth, and the procedure to seal the hole is called a filling.

Dentures

dentures treatment

Dentures treatment

Dentures are removable prostheses that are used to replace missing teeth and tissue. Dentures are of two types: complete and partial.

Complete dentures are advised when all the teeth are missing, and partial dentures are applied when some natural teeth are missing. They are custom-made especially for a set of teeth and gum lines.

Complete dentures fit over the upper teeth and roof and on the lower teeth, placed like a horseshoe. They are conventional dentures and are removed during the night for cleaning.

A partial denture rests on a metal framework that attaches to your natural teeth. Sometimes crowns are placed on some of your natural teeth and serve as anchors for the denture. Partial dentures offer a removable alternative to bridges.

FAQ
An overdenture is a removable denture that fits over a small number of remaining natural teeth or implants. The natural teeth must be prepared to provide stability and support for the denture. Your dentist can determine if an overdenture would be suitable for you.
Dentures can be made to closely resemble your natural teeth, so that little change in appearance will be noticeable. Dentures may even improve the look of your smile and help fill out the appearance of your face and profile. This is where the try-in is critical so you can see yourself in the mirror before the denture is finished and make sure you like the look of your new dentures.
The denture process usually takes a few weeks and approximately five appointments. New denture wearers need time to get accustomed to their new “teeth” because even the best-fitting dentures will feel awkward at first. While most patients can begin to speak normally within a few hours, many patients report discomfort with eating for several weeks. To get accustomed to chewing with a new denture, start with soft, easy-to-chew foods. In addition, denture wearers often notice a slight change in facial appearance, increased salivary flow, or minor speech difficulties.

Dental Implants

dental implants treatment

Dental Implants treatment

Dental implants are metallic inserts or frames that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath the gums. Once in place, they allow a dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them.

Dental implants are easily the most popular and also the ideal solution, for replacing your missing tooth/teeth.

Why it's done

Dental implants are surgically placed in your jawbone, where they serve as the roots of missing teeth. Because the titanium in the implants fuses with your jawbone, the implants won’t slip, make noise or cause bone damage the way fixed bridgework or dentures might.
  • Have one or more missing teeth
  • Have adequate bone to secure the implants or are able to have a bone graft
  • Have healthy oral tissues
  • Don't have health conditions that will affect bone healing
  • Are unable or unwilling to wear dentures
  • Want to improve your speech
  • Are willing to commit several months to the process

FAQ

Almost anyone who is missing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or all teeth is a candidate for dental implants. Talk to your prosthodontist about your specific needs.

Humans are “blessed” with 2 sets of teeth (baby teeth and adult/permanent teeth). When a single permanent tooth or multiple teeth are lost due to dental decay or gum disease, dental implants can now replace them as the 3rd set of fixed teeth! Dental implants can last a lifetime and can improve your appearance, your confidence, and your ability to eat the foods you like, and participate in an active lifestyle, without worrying about your teeth. Dental implants are made of titanium and can never get dental decay!
Unlike natural teeth, dental implants are not susceptible to dental disease such as decay; however, the health of the gums is vital to maintaining lasting implant success. Conscientious home care by the patient and regular professional cleanings and check-ups are essential elements for dental implant sustainability. Each patient is different, and success relies upon diagnosis and planning, medical history, and a variety of other factors.

Dentures cannot be “made into implants”. Implants are metal screws placed into the jawbone to help anchor and support artificial teeth (dentures). It may be possible to have implants placed beneath existing dentures to aid in the stabilization and support of those dentures. This could only be done if the current dentures were otherwise in excellent condition. You should consult with your prosthodontist to have your existing dentures carefully examined.

Dental Crowns

Dental Crowns treatment

Unlike removable devices such as dentures, which you can remove and clean every day, crowns and bridges are cemented onto existing teeth or implants and can only be removed by a dentist.

A crown is used to entirely cover or conceal a damaged tooth. Besides strengthening a damaged tooth, a crown can be used to improve the appearance, shape, or alignment. A crown can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function. Porcelain or ceramic crowns can be matched to the colour of your natural teeth. Other materials include gold, metal alloys, acrylic, and ceramic. These alloys are generally stronger than porcelain and may be recommended for molar teeth. Porcelain bonded to a metal shell is often used because of its strength and aesthetic appeal.

Why Is a Dental Crown Needed?

A dental crown may be needed in the following situations:

  • To protect a weak tooth (for instance, from decay) from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked teeth.
  • To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down.
  • To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't a lot of tooth left.
  • To hold a dental bridge in place.
  • To cover misshapened or severely discolored teeth.
  • To cover a dental implant.
  • To make a cosmetic modification.

FAQ
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth covering the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and/or to improve its appearance.
The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.
On average, dental crowns last between 5 and 15 years. The life span of a crown depends on the amount of “wear and tear” the crown is exposed to, how well you follow good oral hygiene practices, and your personal mouth-related habits (you should avoid such habits as grinding or clenching your teeth, chewing ice, biting your fingernails and using your teeth to open packaging).
While a crowned tooth does not require any special care, remember that simply because a tooth is crowned does not mean the underlying tooth is protected from decay or gum disease. Therefore, continue to follow good oral hygiene practices, including brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing once a day-especially around the crown area where the gum meets the tooth.
