Conservative dentistry

To treat a cavity your dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and then "fill" the area on the tooth where the decayed material was removed. Fillings are also used to repair root, cracked or broken teeth and teeth that have been worn down from misuse (such as from nail-biting or tooth grinding).

Today, several dental filling materials are available. Teeth can be filled with gold; porcelain; silver amalgam; or tooth-coloured, plastic, and glass materials called composite resin fillings. The location and extent of the decay, cost of filling material, patients' insurance coverage, and your dentist's recommendation assist in determining the type of filling best for you.

Silver Fillings (Amalgams)

Over the past several years, concerns have been raised about silver-colored fillings, otherwise called amalgams fillings. Because these fillings contain the toxic substance mercury, some people think they are responsible for causing a number of diseases, including autism, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis. According to the dental research, and numerous public health agencies, there's no proof that dental fillings cause harm to consumers. The causes of autism, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis remain unknown. Additionally, there is no solid, scientific evidence to back up the claim that if a person has amalgam fillings removed, he or she will be cured of these or any other diseases.

Although amalgams do contain mercury, when they are mixed with other metals, such as silver, copper, tin, and zinc, they form a stable alloy that dentists have used for more than 100 years to fill and preserve hundreds of millions of decayed teeth.

Advantages

Disadvantages

This is a very useful material to fill baby teeth, because it is not sensitive for saliva. The dentist should be quick at child treatment, and amalgam is good to work quick with it. There's no matter about amalgam, because it is fall out with the tooth at the age six to ten. Nowadays usage of it is rare.

Tooth-colored Composites

This kind of filling give esthetic experience. there are several colour of filling, so your filling just invisible.

Advantages:

Disadvantages: In addition to tooth-colored, composite resin fillings, two other tooth-colored fillings exist -- ceramics and glass ionomer.

Other Tipe of filling

Ceramics; These fillings are made most often of porcelain, are more resistant to staining than composite resin material but are also more abrasive. This material generally lasts more than 15 years and can cost as much as gold.
Glass ionomer is made of acrylic and a specific type of glass material. This material is most commonly used for fillings below the gum line and for fillings in young children (drilling is still required). Glass ionomers release fluoride, which can help protect the tooth from further decay. However, this material is weaker than composite resin and is more susceptible to wear and prone to fracture. Glass ionomer generally lasts five years or less with costs comparable to composite resin.

filling for tooth decay

Baby tooth filling

The baby tooth fillings are usually glass ionomer filling. It can exclude by tooth decay, because of its flour content.

Sealants

It is a dental prevention treatment. Children's teeth have grooves in the tops of them and often those grooves end up getting decay during the eruption process because they are difficult to clean. A common therapy to help prevent the bacteria and food getting into those grooves is by placing sealants into those grooves. This can also be done on adult teeth as well to prevent cavities. Since they fill in the deep part of the fissure on top of the tooth, they generally stay in the tooth well and offer protection for the tooth for years.

Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings that are applied to the grooves on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to protect them from tooth decay. Most tooth decay in children and teens occurs on these surfaces. Sealants protect the chewing surfaces from tooth decay by keeping germs and food particles out of these grooves.

Permanent molars are the most likely to benefit from sealants. The first molars usually come into the mouth when a child is about 6 years old. Second molars appear at about age 12. It is best if the sealant is applied soon after the teeth have erupted, before they have a chance to decay.

Applying sealants does not require drilling or removing tooth structure. The process is short and easy. After the tooth is cleaned, a special gel is placed on the chewing surface for a few seconds. The tooth is then washed off and dried. Then, the sealant is painted on the tooth. The dentist or dental hygienist also may shine a light on the tooth to help harden the sealant. It takes about a minute for the sealant to form a protective shield. Sealants can only be seen up close. Sealants can be clear, white, or slightly tinted, and usually are not seen when a child talks or smiles.

As with anything new that is placed in the mouth, a child may feel the sealant with the tongue. Sealants, however, are very thin and only fill the pits and grooves of molar teeth. A sealant can last for as long as 5 to 10 years. Sealants should be checked at each regular dental appointment and can be reapplied if they are no longer in place.

Root canal treatment

The root canal system contains the dental pulp and extends from the crown of the tooth to the end of the root. A single tooth can have more than one root canal. The pulp is made up of soft tissue that includes nerves and blood vessels. If bacteria infect the pulp, it will begin to die. After this, the bacteria can increase in number. The bacteria and the substances they release will eventually pass out of the end of the root canal through the small hole where the blood vessels and nerves enter. This process continues as there is nothing to stop more bacteria passing down the root canal, which causes the tissues around the end of the tooth to become red and swollen. This can cause your tooth to become painful and, in extreme circumstances, your face may become swollen.

To treat the infection in the root canal, the bacteria need to be removed. This can be done by removing the tooth or attempting to save the tooth by removing the bacteria from the root canal system. In root canal treatment, once the bacteria are removed, the root canal is filled and the tooth is sealed with a filling or crown. In most cases, the inflamed tissue at the end of the tooth will heal naturally. Root canal treatment should not be painful because a local anaesthetic is normally given, it should be no more unpleasant than having a filling. The procedure is usually successful. In about 9 out of 10 cases, a tooth can survive for up to 10 years after root canal treatment.

On-lay, in-lay

Indirect fillings are similar to composite or tooth-colored fillings except they are made in a dental laboratory and require two visits before being placed. Indirect fillings are considered when not enough tooth structure remains to support a filling but the tooth is not so severely damaged that it needs a crown.

During the first visit, decay or an old filling is removed. An impression is taken to record the shape of the tooth being repaired and the teeth around it. The impression is sent to a dental lab that will make the indirect filling. A temporary filling (described below) is placed to protect the tooth while the restoration is being made. During the second visit, the temporary filling is removed, and the dentist will check the fit of the indirect restoration. Provided the fit is acceptable, it will be permanently cemented into place.

There are two types of indirect fillings: Inlays and onlays are more durable and last much longer than traditional fillings, up to 30 years. They can be made of tooth-colored composite resin, porcelain, or gold. Inlays and onlays weaken the tooth structure, but do so to a much lower extent than traditional fillings. The type of inlay or onlay used depends on how much sound tooth structure remains and consideration of any cosmetic concerns.

Porcelain inlay, onlay

In areas where strength and aesthetics are needed, porcelain inlays and onlays are an excellent option. In the contact areas, along the marginal ridge (the edge between the teeth), there is a fair amount of wear and tear. If a composite material is placed in an area of high stress, then it tends to wear down over time. In cases such as this, porcelain fillings are suggested due to their excellent aesthetics and durability. When part of a cusp of the tooth is missing, there may still enough tooth structure to support a large filling, or for a heavy chewing surface, then inlays and onlays can be considered. Just like the porcelain veneers, they are strong and they are bonded to the teeth using a thin layer of resin material. Porcelain restorations maintain their color better than do composites. They will restore 95% of the original tooth strength. With these newer materials available today, along with newer glass ionomer cements and techniques, these are almost invisible when they are placed.

Gold inlay

Advantages:

Disadvantages of cast gold fillings: inlay [up]

Prosthetic dentistry

The replacement method of a missing teeth or a full arch.

Fixed replacements: Crown, bridge

Full coverage restorations of the teeth. In cases when a tooth is severely worn, or if we cannot repair it with any other conservative methods, the tooth is fitted with a crown, or a “cap”. For the crown procedure the tooth is first prepared, i. e. drilled into a conical shape. Afterwards an impression mold is prepared, which is then used by the dental laboratory to prepare the crown. The “cap” thus prepared will cover the portion of the tooth remaining in the mouth cavity. Regarding their material, technology and function, Crowns crowns come in a large variety. Nowadays porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns are the best option for this method.

Dentures with root pin

The main point of this method is the plastic pin with metallized or carbon filament, which is fixed into the filled and broadened root canal. The aim of the root pin is to prepare for the crown denture of a tooth which lost its crown.

Type of crowns

Metal crown

Used in crowns include different alloy, or a base-metal alloy (for example, nickel or chromium). Compared with other crown types, less tooth structure needs to be removed with metal crowns, and tooth wear to opposing teeth is kept to a minimum. Metal crowns withstand biting and chewing forces well and probably last the longest in terms of wear down. Also, metal crowns rarely chip or break. The metallic color is the main drawback. Metal crowns are a good choice for out-of-sight molars.

Combined dentures If the preparation of the remaining teeth gives a reason for the completion of a partial prosthesis, the fixed and the removable parts can also be prepared together. In this case the row of teeth must be attached to the crown covering the remaining teeth in a hidden way. DENTURES generally refers to the replacement of an entire arch of teeth with a removable appliance with either plastic or porcelain teeth on it. If there are a few teeth left, then it is referred to as a PARTIAL DENTURE. This will either have acrylic base holding it in place, or it will have metal clasps to secure it to the adjacent teeth. Generally when a denture is placed for the first time, it takes a while to get used to it, since it is a foreign body in your mouth. Dentures should be brushed just like you would your natural teeth because they can build up tarter on them as well.

Plastic Covered Crown

It is when the metal covered with plastic. It is cheaper than porcellain, but not so durable. Not so aesthetic, because the plastic don't cover all surface.

Golden crown

Made from dental gold. It is very precise replacement. Because of esthaetic questions it's built on back teeth.

Porcelain crowns

These crowns have an underlying metal structure to ensure stability, whereupon there is a porcelain cover, which provides maximum aesthetic effect. The crown protects the tooth from cracks, preserves its color and is durable. In the case when the crown of the tooth is damaged to a great extent or it cannot be retained with conserving dental methods, we usually prepare a crown. First we abrade the tooth to a conic shape, and take an impression on the basis of which the crown is established in the laboratory of dental technology. The prepared denture covers the part of the tooth which can be found in the oral cavity like a hat. According to its material, technology and function many types of crowns exist, these days the best solution is the crown with porcelain fused to metal. This kind of crown has a metal frame, which reassures stability, and this frame is topped by the covering layer made of porcelain, which guarantees a very aesthetic outlook. The crown protects the tooth from being broken, keeps its colour and it is very durable.

Typically porcelain crowns are placed when a significant amount of tooth structure is lost and when placing a filling would jeopardize the integrity of the tooth or compromise the aethetics or strength. Generally, they cover the top of the tooth and go down the side of the tooth, holding it together to prevent further damage to the teeth. Traditional crowns have gold inside of them with porcelain bonded to the outside for aethetics. These are sturdy and durable and hold up well to the 200 pounds of pressure put on them during chewing function. The newer porcelain crowns are called "second-generation" materials because they are stronger and more durable than the original porcelain type materials that were used thirty years ago. These new materials have more flex, better wear, more translucency to match the natural color of your teeth and they bond better to either the tooth or the metal underneath the porcelain on the porcelain/metal crowns.

Galvan-gold crown

The frame made by galvanic method, that's why it is precise.

Galvan zirconia, zirconium crown

The frame made by galvanic method, used material is zirconium. It is precise replacement.

Metal free crown

Dental crowns provide better natural color match than any other crown type and may be more suitable for people with metal allergies. However, they are not as strong as porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns and they wear down opposing teeth a little more than metal or resin crowns. All-ceramic crowns are a good choice for front teeth.
This is the most perfect type of crown. It is not suitable to bild bridge from it, because of the strength. For a solo crown it is perfect. Suplies the highest aesthetic demand.

Bridges

Replacement of a missing teeth. Bridges are placed when there are one or more teeth missing and the objective is to stabilize the bite, prevent the adjacent teeth from tilting, and the opposing teeth from dropping down into the space that has been lost. When there is no adjacent tooth on one side, we may do a cantilever bridge, which is supported by only one tooth. There are a few different types of bridges including the Maryland Bridge, which can be placed conservatively in the areas that have low torque and two teeth that have never been touched. Fixed bridges are made to replace missing teeth. It is very important that already one missing tooth can cause severe problems (the contrapuntal system collides, power effects change, the tooth opposite to the missing tooth is rising, etc.) so it should be replaced. In this case the teeth around the missing one are leaning toward each other, the body itself tries to solve the problem, which does not have a result. So, the later the bridge is made, the more difficult the solution will be. If more teeth missing we can place implant to fix the bridge.

Inlay fixed bridge

I the case the neighbour teeth are enough streng, we can choose this method. The teeth will hold this part of bridge. The bridge is fixed on the neighbour teeth as a filling.

Bridge on implant, Implant bridges

It is very important that even the loss of one single tooth may cause problems (the contact point system is upset, a change in occlusion, the tooth opposite the missing one protrudes, etc), so, it is advisable to be replaced. In such cases the teeth adjacent to the gap will tilt, the human body trying to solve the problem by itself, which is unfortunately not successful. The later the gap is filled, the more difficult the replacement will be. Of course we do not only prepare the odontological implantations but also the prosthetic bridges for these implantations.

Removable prosthetics

Removable partial denture

the replacement can only be solved with removable, full row of teeth.

Fixed partial dentures

In the first case the position and the number of remaining teeth does not make it possible to create a fixed denture.
Because of spreading of dental implant this kind of dentures nowadays rare.

Oral surgery

The category of oral surgery concerned with the extraction of teeth and the repair or restructuring of supporting bone.

Dentoalveolar surgery

Dentoalveolar surgery is the term used for a wide variety of surgeries involving the teeth and surrounding structures.

Root resection

Root resection is done to treat a problem that is limited to a single root of a tooth that has multiple roots. These problems can include decay, a broken tooth or severe bone loss.

Your molars (back teeth) have three or more roots. Sometimes, the roots of a tooth have good bone support and are free of decay, except for one root. Instead of taking out the whole tooth, your dentist may decide to remove just the one unhealthy root. This is called a root resection. Occasionally, the dentist also will remove part of the crown (top of the tooth) above that root.
A root resection is different from root canal treatment. In root canal treatment, the nerves and blood vessels inside the root are removed. Then the space is filled with a material that can be seen on an X-ray. In a root resection, the entire root of a tooth is removed. However, root resection does require cutting into the inside of the tooth, which contains blood vessels and nerves. For this reason, the tooth will need root canal treatment before a root resection can be done.

A tooth that needs root resection should have root canal treatment first. You will be given a shot to numb the area (local anesthesia) for a root resection. In most situations, your dentist will need to make cuts in the gum and go through the bone to expose the roots of the tooth. Then the dentist will drill to remove the root from the rest of the tooth. Sometimes, part of the crown will be cut. The attached root will be removed along with that section of the crown.

Then the gum will be stitched closed. You may be given prescriptions for antibiotics and pain medicine. You may have some discomfort, swelling and light bleeding for one or two days. Avoid chewing with the tooth until the stitches are removed (7 to 10 days). When your stitches are removed, your dentist will see how your gums are healing. Once your gums have healed, the dentist can place a permanent crown on the tooth.

Root resections are done less often now than in the past. The tooth can be extracted and replaced with an implant. It's better to keep your natural tooth than to get an implant, but in some cases an implant may be preferred. That's because the tooth that remains will also need root canal treatment and a crown (cap). This treatment may not last as long as an implant.

Maxillary injury

The maxilla is a combination of two bones and forms the upper jawbone. Direct facial trauma can lead to certain maxillary injuries in this area, and also in the lower jaw. Such strikes to the face often occur in sports, and the most widespread maxillary injuries are fractures and damage to soft tissue in the face. If you experience any of the following symptoms you should seek immediate medical assistance, especially if they follow on from a facial impact. A wound to the mouth or face should be taken seriously, as should any bleeding. Other common symptoms include bruises around the jaw or cheeks, and problems with walking or standing that are caused by feelings of dizziness or vertigo. Some people find swelling around the eyes and loss of vision, strange reactions to light, or floaters swirling in their eyes. You might feel nauseous, vomit, or even have a seizure. Breathing problems are a major concern, and other difficulties in the jaw and mouth can manifest in an inability to talk or open your mouth properly. Immediately notable injuries include a dislocated jaw and fractures to the cheekbones or nose. Skin infections can arise in the affected area.

Tooth injury

Loose, broken/chipped or otherwise injured teeth can often be repaired or stabilized. If permanent damage isn’t immediately apparent, it is often times difficult to determine if or when the trauma may result in something more extensive. In these cases, depending on the child’s age, children are put in a sort of holding pattern to determine the future vitality of the tooth. It can often take months or years for a trauma to manifest into future breaks or nerve damage. If you are hit in the face but does not show any of these symptoms, the decision to go to the dentist may become questionable.

Symptoms may become evident later. If the area becomes painful, swollen or the teeth become discolored or loose, a trip to the dentist is recommended. If the tooth getting broken, the dentist can rebild the crown.

It is very important to know how to preserve a knocked out tooth in an event that a tooth is knocked out from its socket usually during child's play, sports or even at work. It is comforting to know that a knocked out tooth can still be re-implanted into the dental socket as long as proper procedures are followed in order to preserve the tooth right after being knocked out. The tooth should be rinsed in water by holding it at its crown or top portion. Be careful not remove any tissue fragments from the tooth. Place the tooth in tap water or milk and immediately go to the dentist for re-implantation. A successful dental re-implantation is expected if the tooth is returned back to the dental socket within one hour.

The dentist can replant the teeth, after the replant the dentist splint the replanted tooth to the others. It is usually a succesfull treatment, the loss of replanted tooth is rare.

If a tooth getting unfixed because of an accident, you should go to dentist as soon as it is possible. The dentist can the unfixed tooth splint. Nowadays dentists use several material to splint.

Implant

A dental implant is used to support one or more false or missing teeth.

Implants are a safe, well-established, tried-and-tested treatment. It's probably true to say that implants, much like natural teeth, will last for as long as you care for them. If you don't look after your implants they will develop a coating similar to that found on neglected natural teeth. Left untreated, this can lead to gum infection, bleeding, soreness and general discomfort. You could get all these problems with natural teeth. If your implants are well looked after, and if the bone they are fitted to is strong and healthy, you can expect them to last for many years. However, just as with other surgical implants (such as a hip replacement) there is no lifetime guarantee.

An implant is typically a titanium screw that is placed into the jaw bone in the area that a tooth is lost. It is left in the bone for a period of approximately 4-6 months to let it "fuse" with the adjacent bone. At this point, a metal top is placed on the screw post to create a hole in the gum for the crown to emerge from. After that has been in the tissue for a short while, then a crown can be placed over that post. It is either cemented or screwed in, depending upon the type of implant system.

Advantages of implants are that they don't involve the adjacent teeth and therefore are more conservative in that respect. In addition, should something happen to the implant (porcelain chip, adjacent teeth turn darker over time) the crown can usually be easily removed and sent back to the lab for a touch-up to correct anything. It is typically, at our office, we place the actual implant fixture below the gumline into the jaw bone. Then, after the area has healed, we come in and place the restorative portion above the gumline - the crown.

Placing an implant is often easier than taking a tooth out and is usually done using a simple local anaesthetic. You will not feel any pain at the time, but just like after an extraction, you may feel some discomfort during the week after the surgery. Sometimes your dentist might give you a sedative if you are very nervous or if the case is a complicated one. General anaesthetics are rarely used for implants and are generally only used for very complicated cases.

Usually the permanent false teeth are fitted 3 to 4 months after the implants are put in. Some teeth can now even be fitted at the same time as the implants but you should check with your dentist to see whether these are suitable for you. Sometimes treatment takes longer and your dentist will be able to talk to you about your treatment time. After the treatment you will be given an instructions on how to look after your implant. They may give you some painkillers after the surgery to take over the next few days if you need them.

If you have a single tooth missing, you will need an implant to support it. If you have a number of teeth missing, and these are next to each other, you could still have one implant for each tooth. Or you may find that two or more implants may be able to support more than one tooth each. Your dentist will talk to you about the best option for you.

Implants and the teeth can be damaged by an accident in the same way that natural teeth can. So it is important that you wear a professionally made mouthguard if you play sports that involve contact or moving objects. If just the teeth are damaged, they can usually be removed from the implant and replaced. However, if the titanium implant itself is damaged beyond repair, it can be safely left in the jaw if it is too difficult to remove. Another implant may be fitted alongside it to replace the damaged one.

If the implant does not fuse with the bone, it is easily removed and your jaw will heal in the normal way. Once your jaw has healed, another implant can be placed there. Or the dentist can make a bridge, fitting it to the implanted false teeth that have taken.

Parodontology

Parodontology prevents the regression of the gums and thus tooth loss.

Gum treatment

Gum disease can have serious consequences if left untreated. Between 5% and 11% of the adult population suffers from advanced gum disease. The mildest form of gum disease is called gingivitis. This is the initial stages of gum inflammation caused by the presence of plaque and tartar on the teeth.

Gingivitis can usually be stopped and reversed with careful brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings by dental professionals. If tartar is not removed and gingivitis is left untreated, it can progress into a more serious form of gum disease. That more serious form is known as periodontitis. With this gum disease, pockets form between the gums and teeth. Those pockets become infected by bacteria beneath the gums. The body's immune system releases chemicals to fight the bacteria. These chemicals along with the substances the bacteria release can damage the bone and other tissues that hold the teeth in place. This can lead ultimately to tooth loss and bone degradation. In addition, studies have shown that bacteria in gum disease may contribute to heart disease as well as other conditions.

Ortodontia

One of the specialties of dentistry. It involves braces, for the straightening of teeth. Newer technologies may use pre-bent wires or mouth guards to assist in straightening teeth rather than applying braces to the teeth. Generally the procedures are done to straighten the alignment of the teeth for better form, esthetics, function and speech.

Some teeth may grow in crooked or overlapping. In other people, some teeth may grow in rotated or twisted. Some people's mouths are too small, and this crowds the teeth and causes them to shift into crooked positions.

And in some cases, a person's upper jaw and lower jaw aren't the same size. When the lower half of the jaw is too small, it makes the upper jaw hang over when the jaw is shut, resulting in a condition called an overbite. When the opposite happens (the lower half of the jaw is larger than the upper half), it's called an underbite.

If a dentist suspects that someone needs braces or other corrective devices, s/he will refer the patient to an orthodontist. Orthodontists are dentists who have special training in the diagnosis and treatment of misaligned teeth and jaws.

Most regular dentists can tell if teeth will be misaligned once a patient's adult teeth begin to come in — sometimes as early as age 6 or 7 — and the orthodontist may recommend interceptive treatment therapy. Interceptive treatment therapy involves the wearing of appliances to influence facial growth and help teeth grow in better, and helps prevent more serious problems from developing. In many cases, the patient won't be referred to an orthodontist until closer to the teen years.

Once a diagnosis is made, the orthodontist can then decide on the right kind of treatment. In some cases, a removable retainer will be all that's necessary. In other rare cases, when there is an extreme overbite or underbite, an operation will be necessary.

Slant back top front teeth

It's the most simple ortodontial treatment. It serves the reposition of the top front teeth and bottom front teeth. This tool is a plastic block, that fixed to the teeth. This can help to make the right position of ftont teeth.

Cosmetic dentistry

Tooth jewels

Tooth jewels are gems that are affixed to the front of teeth in cosmetic dentistry practices. In most cases, the jewels are affixed to the top front teeth. People who wear tooth jewels may decide to have them added to just one tooth or to multiple teeth. In some cases, tooth jewels are made out of real precious stones such as diamonds. In other cases the jewels are made out of manufactured crystals.

In many cases, tooth jewels are worn by people who have straight, white teeth who want to show off this feature. They are worn by celebrities as well as people who are image-conscious who want to show off a sparkling smile. Depending on the type of product that is used to adhere the jewel to the tooth, the jewel may stay in place for a matter of weeks or months or years. Another factor that affects how long a jewel will stay in place is the amount of stress that the wearer puts on the jewel. Stress can come in the form of eating especially crunchy foods or very chewy foods.

When a dentist prepares to affix a tooth jewel, there are a number of factors that are considered. One of the most important factors is the health of the tooth to which the jewel will be attached. If the enamel of the tooth is not in good condition, a dentist might either recommend that the patient forgo the procedure or choose another tooth that has a better quality of enamel. In most cases, applying and wearing tooth jewels will not damage the enamel of the teeth. This is especially true of tooth jewels that are applied by trained dentists and less true of tooth jewels that are applied using an at-home kit, without the consultation of a dentist.

Tooth jewels that are affixed with an adhesive can usually be applied without the use of anesthesia as the procedure is relatively painless. There are some procedures in which a dentist will drill a small hole in the tooth in order to nest the jewel into the tooth. These are less common and can cause pain. The drawback to this kind of procedure is that the hole remains when the tooth jewel is removed or falls out. The benefit of this procedure is that it may help the tooth jewel to stay in place for a longer period of time, which is useful for those who are committed to maintaining their tooth jewels. The simple procedure doesn't require drill only stick the jewels to the enamel. you can change the jewels at any time, if you want another form or colour.

Bleaching, teeth whitening

Discolouration of teeth can caused by coffee, tea, smoking, some kind of medicine, old fillings, or root treatment. Bleaching is a safe and effective way to whiten your teeth. For patients who are heavy smokers or coffee drinkers, the results may not be as long-lasting.

There are two techniques which are commonly used to brighten teeth:

At home technique: This technique is good for those people who simply need to lighten their teeth. When teeth have been discoloured from smoking, coffee, tea, or simply due to aging, this is often a good option. First, an impression is taken of the patient's mouth and stone models are poured up. Then a precision fit splint is made either by a lab or by the dental office which has the facial surface of the teeth blocked out to allow room in the splint for the bleaching solution (typically 10% -15% carbamide peroxide) to stay on the teeth. This thin mouthpiece is then worn for one to three hours per night or in the evening daily, after the patient has carefully cleaned their teeth. It usually takes about two weeks to get to the desired results if worn every night. Advantages include: This technique allows you to do this at your own home (or work) and on your own time. If you wish to lighten your teeth more in the future, you can simply purchase some more bleaching solution and use that.

In office technique: First, the teeth are pumiced to clean them. Then an ointment is placed on the gums to protect them. A rubber dam (similar to a thin plastic square with holes in it to fit around the teeth) is placed over the teeth and the teeth are isolated to allow the bleaching solution to work. The patient then sits in front of a special bleaching light for approximately 30 minutes per arch. This technique usually works best after about three sessions. Advantages include: This is better when you have streaks of darker colours on your teeth, or if you have crowns or other fillings on your front teeth. Since we are able to use a stronger solution using this technique, we feel it produces a more reliable result. Disadvantages include: If you have sensitive teeth to begin with, this technique can cause them to be slightly more sensitive temporarily (typically for up to a day). In addition, occasionally, the material can cause minor temporary irritation on the gums near the edges of the rubber dam.

Porcelain veneers, lumineers

These new veneers are thin porcelain facings that cover the tooth and can be used to reshape, repair, or restore a tooth back to it's original size or even better! They are bonded to the tooth using a resin material and they are used to fill in spaces in teeth, large chips on the teeth, and cover up discolorations on teeth. Many people choose to have porcelain veneers placed on their teeth in cases where wearing braces (orthodontics) is not an option. Excellent results can be created from veneers in a matter of weeks, as opposed to wearing braces for months or years. We call it "instant orthodontics". Sometimes veneers are done to complete orthodontic cases where there simply isn't enough tooth structure to fill in the spaces needed due to a large arch. New materials currently available allow the dentist to place porcelain veneers that have a very similar microscopic alignment of the crystals which allows it to mimic the reflective surfaces that our natural enamel offers, giving even more life-like appearance.
It is not recommended in case of tooth decay or bad oral hygiene.
