Dentistry
Dentistry is a field of medicine concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of health issues related to the mouth, teeth, and gums. Dentists perform a variety of clinical and surgical procedures to maintain oral health and manage diseases. Dentistry encompasses a wide range of practices, including both general oral health and aesthetic dental treatments.
In our clinic, we provide the following treatments:
**Tooth Decay and Filling Procedures:** Tooth decay leads to the deterioration of tooth enamel and can damage the inner part of the tooth. Dentists repair the tooth by cleaning out the decayed portion and filling it with a restorative material.
**Gum Diseases:** Gum diseases are characterized by inflammation and infection of the gums. Dentists treat these conditions with cleaning, root planing, and, if necessary, surgical intervention.
**Root Canal Therapy:** When the pulp (nerves and blood vessels) inside a tooth becomes infected or damaged, root canal therapy is performed. This procedure aims to clean out the infected tissue and save the tooth.
**Tooth Extraction:** Teeth may need to be extracted for various reasons. Dentists safely remove the tooth when necessary and guide patients through the recovery process.
**Aesthetic Dentistry:** Aesthetic dentistry involves procedures aimed at improving the appearance of the teeth. This includes teeth whitening, composite veneers (natural tooth-colored coverings), porcelain veneers (ceramic coverings), zirconium crowns, e.max crowns, and orthodontic treatments. Zirconium crowns offer high durability and aesthetic appeal, while e.max crowns are a type of transparent and durable covering that mimics the appearance of natural teeth.
**Oral Hygiene and Protection:** Dentists emphasize the importance of brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups to maintain oral hygiene. They also provide information about general health issues that can impact oral health.
**Dental Implants:** Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed to replace lost teeth. Implants, inserted into the jawbone, support dental prosthetics or crowns. The All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant systems provide a fixed prosthesis by placing only four or six implants, respectively, to support all missing teeth. These methods offer a quick and effective solution, making them ideal for patients with tooth loss.
Dentistry not only protects oral and dental health but also aims to improve overall health and quality of life. Dentists continuously monitor oral health and develop personalized treatment plans to achieve the best outcomes.
