Dental Implants are titanium tooth supports (that look like screws), which are surgically fixed into the jaw to replace missing teeth. It serves as an artificial root in the jaws which will restore proprioception, function and appearance. The implants are placed in the jaw under local anaesthesia. The implant unites with the bone( osseo-integration) in about 2-3 months time. After which the artificial teeth are fabricated and cemented. 

Tooth removal is always performed under local anesthesia, hence it is painless. Wisdom tooth removal is unique in that the teeth are situated posterior most in the mouth and carry the risk of spreading infections into adjacent areas. Also sometimes the shape and position of these may necessitate surgical removal. The following are the reasons for extraction of wisdom tooth removal which include infection, chronic pain, gum diseases, poor alignment of teeth, tooth decay-risk to the adjacent teeth and a cause of tooth crowding. The patients can feel only the pressure during the tooth removal.

There are four ways to correct the spaces between your teeth. Diagnosing the reason the spaces are present will determine which of the treatments will best suit your needs.

Spaces between teeth can be filled by: Orthodontics (moving the teeth) Bonding (bonded tooth-colored fillings) Dental Veneers/Laminating (bonded porcelain facings) Dental Crowns (capping).

Orthodontics

Veneers

Placing braces on your teeth to move them into their correct position is usually the most ideal treatment. Using orthodontics to move the teeth is the most time consuming, but it is also the most beneficial. Orthodontics can align teeth so that your bite is in harmony with your smile. All of the other treatments to fill the spaces, including tooth bonding, dental veneers, and dental crowns, although they are very good treatments, are considered esthetic and functional compromises, and should be discussed in order to determine which restorative dentistry treatment is best for you.

Bonded tooth colored fillings

All toothpastes work as foaming agents that help to clean your teeth of plaque and food remnants. The choice of most toothpastes is governed by their medicinal content and flavour. Any fluoridated toothpaste is a good general toothpaste for the family. Medicated toothpastes are available for specific purposes and should be used under the advise of your dentist only.

One of the most devastating effects of tobacco is the development of oral cancer. The risk of oral cancer increases with the number of cigarettes smoked each day and the number of years that the person has been smoking. Some of the other oral side effects of tobacco are tooth stains, delayed healing of oral wounds, increased severity of gum disease and bad breath.

The single most important benefit of root canal therapy is that you save your natural tooth. Extraction may lead to other dental problems, For instance, drifting of teeth, bite problems, TMJ pain, and the need to treat adjacent teeth that do not otherwise need dental treatment in order to restore the missing tooth.

Root canal treated tooth is brittle and as a tendency to fracture. Hence the tooth should be reinforced with the crown immediately after root canal treatment is completed. In some cases The bacteria in saliva, as well as food debris, can go between the temporary filling and the tooth surface and contaminate the root canal treatment. This may cause treatment failure. If a re-infection occurs, often, another root canal treatment will need to be done (endodontic retreatment). If the damage is very extensive, extraction should be considered.
