Common Dental Procedures: Treatments For Dental Problems

General dentistry treatment includes various procedures that help maintain oral health and address common issues in the mouth. These may consist of teeth cleanings to remove plaque and tartar, fillings to repair cavities, and dental crowns for fixing damaged teeth. 

While dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth, root canal treatment can save severely decayed or infected teeth. Routine check-ups to identify potential problems such as gum disease, dental sensitivity, or misalignment before they escalate into serious conditions are also important. These treatments offer improved oral hygiene, better functioning, and a healthy smile.  

Teeth Whitening

Why it’s great: A brighter smile instantly makes you look more youthful and confident.

Options:

In-Office Whitening: Professional-grade teeth cleaning treatments performed by a dentist.

At-Home Whitening Kits: Customizable options for whitening your teeth at your own pace.

Ideal for: Those seeking dramatic results, those with sensitive teeth, and those who want a convenient at-home solution.

Veneers

Why it’s great: Veneers can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth, correcting chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration.

Options:

Porcelain Veneers: Durable and natural-looking, these veneers can last for many years.

Composite Veneers: Composite veneers are a more affordable option, but they are less durable than porcelain.

Ideal for: Individuals with significant cosmetic concerns, such as chipped, cracked, or severely discolored teeth.

Cosmetic Bonding

Why it’s great: A less invasive option than veneers, bonding can repair chips, cracks, and gaps in teeth.

Options:

Composite Bonding: A tooth-colored material is applied to the tooth and shaped to correct imperfections.

Ideal for: Individuals with minor cosmetic concerns, such as small chips or gaps.

Professional Cleaning

Why it’s great: Regular professional cleanings can remove plaque and tartar buildup, preventing gum disease and improving the overall appearance of your teeth.

Options:

Dental Cleaning: A routine cleaning that removes plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums.

Dental Sealants: Dental sealants are protective coatings applied to the teeth to prevent cavities. They seal out food and bacteria from the grooves of molars.

Dental crown: A dental crown is a prosthetic device placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, strength, and function.

Dental implant: A dental implant is a surgical procedure in which a titanium post is inserted into the jawbone to replace a lost tooth, offering a durable solution.

Filling: A fill over a tooth (a composite resin, amalgam, et cetera).

Root canal treatment: A root canal treatment removes infected or damaged tissue from the interior of a tooth to salvage it and avoid additional infection.

 Ideal for: Everyone, especially those prone to gum disease or having a history of dental issues.
