5 Dental Services to ask Your Dentist About

Professional dental cleaning

Maintaining the cleanliness and health of your teeth and gums means that you have to follow basic cleaning rules, brush your teeth daily, clean between the teeth by using dental floss, and regularly rinse with mouthwash to ensure access to all parts of the oral cavity.

Following these rules daily will reduce your risk of tooth and gum problems, as much as possible. Plaque and calculus must be removed through professional teeth cleaning, and sometimes through the added measures of deep curettage and root planning.

Dental crowns and bridges

Crowns can be your best option when your tooth is damaged from:

  • Decay
  • Trauma (such as a blow)
  • The tooth being out of its' normal position or if it is severely stained.
  • Crowns may also be used to help stabilize teeth loosened by gum disease by connecting them to the adjacent teeth.
  • Crowns do not only replace the original tooth but can also create an even better esthetic appearance. This is done by closing the gaps between teeth and creating a better realignment of the teeth.
  • Root canal treated teeth requires a crown as a protection from being weak, brittle, and vulnerable to fracture easily.

When you have an extracted tooth or multiple teeth, your dentist will provide you with some of the treatment choices. One of these choices is the dental bridge. It’s a suspended artificial tooth that is between the teeth on either side of the gap. A dental bridge ridge consists of an artificial tooth that can be connected either to your natural teeth, implants or even remaining root with root canal treatment.

Orthodontics

At the age of seven, parents are advised to seek orthodontic treatment for their children, unless there are problems that may require an earlier visit, as directed by the dentist. The lack of consistency and regularity of teeth is one of the most annoying things that most of us face, especially on the psychological side.

Orthodontics can be one of the most important methods of teeth straightening and better alignment. It is not only an aesthetic and cosmetic life-changing decision but, it will also prevent gum and periodontal diseases, teeth drifting, tooth decay, and possible speaking difficulties.

Teeth whitening

People often want to whiten their teeth using bleaching products or over-the-counter medicines, but the most important advice is that you should consult with your dentist before using these products that may increase tooth sensitivity. Laser bleaching is considered an ideal solution for sensitive teeth. They may suffer from pain while using the traditional methods of teeth whitening in its early call.

Professional teeth whitening provides a high-quality outcome and makes the patient's feel hardly any pain with minimal sensitivity, producing very excellent results. It opens the tooth enamel pores so that the bleaching peroxide can penetrate the teeth to remove the deep spots under the surface of the enamel.

Dental implants

Dental implants are cosmetic substitutes to conventional crowns, bridges, and partial dentures. Implants appear and can feel the same as natural teeth. They often offer more of a confidence over traditional treatments. Dental implantation will achieve stability and resistance to movement while performing the functions and necessary support without compromising any of the teeth or surrounding tissues.
