Conservative And Endodontics Treatments


Conservative dentistry and endodontics are closely related dental specialities focused on preserving natural teeth. Conservative dentistry focuses on restoring damaged or defective teeth with minimal intervention, while endodontics specifically treats diseases and injuries of the dental pulp and roots, often through root canal treatment. The combined department aims to restore function and aesthetics while saving teeth from extraction by addressing issues like decay, fractures, and pulp infections. Common treatment options:



Prophylactic Treatments


Prophylactic dental treatment, or dental prophylaxis, refers to preventive measures taken to stop or delay dental diseases, such as regular professional teeth cleanings to remove plaque and tartar, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease. It also includes antibiotic prophylaxis, where medication is given before a procedure to prevent infective endocarditis in high-risk individuals. Common treatment options:



Prosthetic Treatments


Artificial teeth treatment involves restoring missing teeth using options such as dentures, dental bridges, or dental implants. Dentures are removable replacements, bridges are fixed to neighboring teeth, and implants are titanium posts fused to the jawbone. The process begins with a dental consultation, followed by impressions to create custom-made appliances, and may involve several visits over a few weeks to months to ensure proper fit and function. Common treatment options:



Orthodontic Treatment


Orthodontic treatment corrects misaligned teeth, jaw problems, and improper bites (malocclusion) to improve oral health, function, and facial aesthetics. Treatments include braces (metal, ceramic, lingual), clear aligners, and palatal expanders, which apply gentle, constant pressure to move teeth into proper positions. The goal is a healthier, better-functioning smile, though it requires good oral hygiene and may involve potential risks like root resorption. Common treatment options:



Aesthetic Treatments


Aesthetic dental treatment, also known as cosmetic dentistry, focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile through various procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, dental implants, and crowns. These treatments aim to correct issues such as discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, and misalignments to create a more natural and beautiful smile, thereby boosting confidence. Common treatment options:



Surgical Treatments


Dental surgery includes a broad range of surgical procedures involving teeth, gums, jawbones, and the surrounding facial structure to address medical, functional or cosmetic issues. Common procedures include wisdom tooth extraction, dental implant placement, gum grafting and corrective jaw surgery. Common treatment options:



Treatment for Kids


Children's cavities are treated with options like dental fillings, dental crowns, or Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF), depending on the decay's severity. Dental fillings involve removing decay and filling the space, while crowns are used for severe damage. Common treatment options:
