Dental check is a routine appointment with a dentist to assess and maintain your oral health. Dental checkups are typically recommended every six months, although the frequency may vary based on your individual oral health needs. These appointments also play a vital role in promoting overall health, as oral health is closely linked to systemic health.
Dental cleaning is a routine dental procedure aimed at removing plaque, tartar (calculus), and stains from the teeth. It plays a crucial role in maintaining good oral health and preventing dental problems. Some dental cleanings include a fluoride treatment. Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and can be applied in the form of a gel, foam, or varnish. Regular dental cleanings, in combination with a consistent at-home oral hygiene routine, can go a long way in preventing dental problems and preserving your teeth and gums.
Dental sealants are a preventive dental treatment designed to protect the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars) from tooth decay. These surfaces often have fissures and grooves that are susceptible to the accumulation of food particles and bacteria, making them vulnerable to cavities. Dental sealants are an effective way to seal these fissures and create a protective barrier.
Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings or white fillings, are a type of dental restoration used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, fractures, or other structural issues. These fillings are made from a tooth-colored composite resin material that closely matches the color of natural teeth, providing a more aesthetically pleasing and discreet option compared to traditional silver amalgam fillings. These types of fillings can be used for both cavity restoration and cosmetic enhancement.
A comprehensive dental examination is a comprehensive and detailed assessment of a patient’s oral health. The exam also includes the full mouth x-ray. This is an essential part of maintaining good oral health and catching dental problems early, before they become more serious and costly to treat. It is recommended that individuals visit their dentist for a comprehensive exam at least once a year, although some people with specific dental conditions may need more frequent visits.
Cosmetic dentistry aims to enhance the overall appearance of your smile, boost self-confidence, and improve your oral health by addressing aesthetic concerns.
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells typically made of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of teeth. They can correct various issues, such as tooth discoloration, chips, cracks, and minor misalignments.
Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored resin material to repair or improve the appearance of chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth. The resin is applied, shaped, and then hardened with a special light.
