Treatments, operations and tests

An apiectomy is a root-end resection, where the dentist cuts through the gum and removes the end of the tooth (known as the apex). Usually, an apiectomy is carried out in situations where a root canal procedure has not been sufficient to relieve pain or remove an infection. Occasionally after root canal work, an infection might spread into the bone at the tip of the root and create an abscess. A typical cause of this might be a cracked root, or the presence of infection in canals that were hidden from the initial x-ray.
A bridge is a dental prosthesis used to replace a tooth or many teeth. The artificial tooth is implanted into the mouth and joined permanently to adjacent teeth (or other dental implants).

Dentistry is the branch of medicine that is involved in the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions of the oral cavity, maxillofacial area and the adjacent and associated structures and their impact on the human body.[1] Dentistry is widely considered necessary for complete overall health. Those who practice dentistry are known as dentists. The dentist's supporting team aids in providing oral health services, which includes dental assistants, dental hygienists, dental technicians, and dental therapists.
A crown is used to repair teeth that have been damaged by trauma, decay or as the result of a large filling. It can be made of a variety of materials such as porcelain, ceramic or various alloys, and is fitted over the existing tooth with dental adhesive.
They include the filling materials that require more than 1 visit to be placed in the cavity. On the first day of appointment, the dentist prepares the tooth and makes an impression to record the details of the tooth to be restored. It is then sent to the dental lab. In the next visit, the material is placed in the prepared tooth. These include veneers, inlays, onlays, crowns and bridges fabricated with gold, base metal alloys, composites. .
Dental crowns (also known as "dental caps" or "tooth caps") can be made from metal (gold or other metal alloys), ceramic materials (such as porcelain), or a combination of both. The information on this page explains some of the advantages and disadvantages of each of these various types of dental crowns, but in general you should rely on your dentist's judgment and advice as to which of these types of crowns would be most appropriate for your situation.
Back before the days of bonding technology, dental crowns nearly always needed to be made with a metal foundation. Today, we can make them out of pure porcelain or other ceramics. There are still occasions on the back teeth when the durability of a metal foundation in the crown makes it the restoration of choice. But when it shows prominently in your smile, wouldn't you rather have one that looks as natural as possible? See photos at the bottom of the page that show the beauty of pure porcelain.

Teeth cleaning (prophylaxis) by a dental hygienist removes tartar (mineralized plaque) that may develop even with careful brushing and flossing, especially in areas that are difficult to reach in routine toothbrushing. Professional cleaning includes tooth scaling and tooth polishing and debridement if too much tartar has accumulated. This involves the use of various instruments or devices to loosen and remove deposits from the teeth.
Dental implants are used to support false teeth; a titanium screw is surgically inserted into the jawbone to allow a point of attachment for dentures or teeth. This procedure is surprisingly minor and done under only local anaesthetic.

In 1978, the first Dental Implant Consensus Conference was held, sponsored jointly by the National Institutes of Health and Harvard University. It was a landmark event, at which retrospective data on dental implants were collected and analyzed and criteria and standards for implant dentistry were established. In 1982 in Toronto, Brånemark presented work that had begun 15 years earlier in Gothenburg. Biological fusion of bone to a foreign material, was unparalleled and such scientific documentation of implantology had never before been gathered.

Dental X-rays, also called radiographs, are an important tool for the dentist. The three most common types of dental X-rays are the bitewing, periapical and panoramic X-rays. Bitewing X-rays are those that are taken during most routine dental check-ups and are useful for revealing dental cavities between the teeth. Periapical X-rays show the entire tooth, including the roots, as well as the bone surrounding them. These X-rays are useful in helping to diagnose a dental abscess as well as periodontal gum disease.
All Shikosha dentures are fabricated with the revolutionary heat-cured pressure injected system for high impact, natural looking, comfortable and precision fit. The dentures are fabricated using any of the following premium teeth: Trubyte® IPN®, Portrait®, Bioblend® and Bioform® combined with most popular tooth shades (Vita® Classic and Bioform®.) The Trubyte IPN teeth are fabricated in a hardened plastic material and follow four face shapes (Square, Square Tapering, Tapering and Ovoid) in mould selection to create a natural look to the patient's smile.
A partial upper denture is a device that replaces some of a person's upper teeth. While a full dental plate replaces all of the upper or lower teeth, a partial denture is used to fill in gaps between healthy teeth. Partial dentures are also referred to as a bridge. Acrylic Dentures: Dentures made from acrylic have the advantage of being inexpensive. However, the hard acrylic causes many of the common complaints about dentures such as movement and the resulting sore spots in the mouth. Acrylic dentures are also easy to damage; dropping them onto a hard surface such as a sink can cause them to crack.
A dental filling requires the insertion of a material to restore the function, integrity and morphology of missing tooth structure. White composite is designed to mirror the appearance of the natural tooth and provides nearly the same strength as traditional silver amalgam fillings.
Dental inlays are used to treat teeth that have decay or damage lying within their indented top surfaces. They can also be used to replace old or damaged metal fillings. Inlay placement is usually carried out over two appointments. During your first visit to the dentist, an impression of your tooth will be taken, and a temporary inlay will be placed over the tooth. The dentist will send the impression off to a dental lab, which will create the inlay to match your tooth's specifications.
Porcelain dental veneers are a beautiful way to correct stained, chipped, or crooked teeth. By placing glass-like ceramic porcelain on the surface of teeth, dentists can provide patients with bright, straight, and natural looking smiles. Dental flaws that have been a source of embarrassment for years can be treated with porcelain veneers in as little as one or two appointments. If you are considering veneers but would like more information about the process of placing porcelain veneers and the cost of treatment, please read the information below.
This living tissue is called the pulp and it's in a space called the root canal. The number of root canals a tooth has varies, depending on how far back the tooth is in your mouth. Your front teeth often have just one root canal, whereas your back teeth may have three or more. If your tooth's pulp becomes damaged, the blood vessels may die. This results in a 'dead' tooth, which is more likely to get infected because it's no longer protected by your immune system (the system that defends your body against infection and other harmful substances).

Tooth extraction is the act of removing a tooth (or teeth) from it's socket. Teeth may need to be removed if they have been subject to trauma, or otherwise causing pain due to decay or disease. The procedure is straightforward and can be done under a local anaesthetic, and the clot seals after approximately 24, reducing the odds of any bleeding.

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. A simple extraction is performed on a tooth that can be seen in the mouth. General dentists commonly do simple extractions. Most of these can be done using just an injection (a local anesthetic), with or without anti-anxiety drugs A surgical extraction involves teeth that cannot be seen easily in the mouth. They may have broken off at the gum line or they may not have come in yet. Surgical extractions commonly are done by oral surgeons. They are done with injections (local anesthesia), and you can also have conscious sedation.
A dental restoration or dental filling is a dental restorative material used to restore the function, integrity and morphology of missing tooth structure. The structural loss typically results from caries or external trauma. It is also lost intentionally during tooth preparation to improve the aesthetics or the physical integrity of the intended restorative material. Dental restoration also refers to the replacement of missing tooth structure that is supported by dental implants
Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smmoth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you simply wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentists and orthodontist plans out for you.There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten.
