Restoration of Teeth

Teeth which are decayed, fractured, chipped, discolored or have gaps can be restored using the latest materials available which closely replicate the lost tooth part and match the adjacent natural tooth.

Treatment of badly decayed or fractured teeth

It is advised in cases where the nerve within the tooth is affected either due to decay, trauma or fracture. It involves the removal of the damaged or diseased pulp or nerve, cleaning and shaping the root canal and subsequently filling the canals with a suitable material.

Treatment of Gum Problems

Diseases which involve the supporting structures of the teeth are the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. Fortunately, early detection and treatment of gum disease makes it possible for most people to retain their teeth for a lifetime. Gum treatments are aimed at removing the plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces and can be achieved through a number of procedures depending on the extent of the problem. These procedures include scaling, root planing, curettage, gingivectomy, flap surgery etc.

Replacement of Missing Teeth can be done in the following ways

Fixed Bridges

These are tooth replacements taking support from the adjoining natural teeth to replace missing tooth/teeth. The adjoining teeth should be healthy and have a good gum and root support. The fixed bridges are cemented to the tooth and cannot be removed by the patient. There are various types of materials that can be used to make bridges/crowns like ceramic, non-precious metal, precious metal, acrylic, newer composites.

Dental Implants

These are titanium tooth supports, which are surgically fixed into the jaw to replace missing teeth. Once embedded into the bone, they serve as supports to the crown and bridge.

This procedure is the best alternative for patients not comfortable with conventional dentures but have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. The advantage of this system is that it does not require reduction of any natural adjacent teeth.

Removable Denture

A denture is a set of removable artificial teeth that rests directly on the gums and may sometimes use support of implants. These may be used to replace one or all missing natural teeth.

Removal of teeth which are beyond repair by using available treatment modalities, is carried out under anesthesia. It is a painless procedure. In cases where the tooth is partially embedded in the bone (generally observed in wisdom teeth) surgical removal is advised.
