A Great Smile with Cosmetic Dentistry


Improving your smile changes more than just how you look; it can give you a whole new approach to life. Cosmetic dentistry is a rising fashion in dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry encompasses any dental procedure that improves the overall aesthetics (look) of your smile. Cosmetic dentistry may involve simply replacing an old metal filling or teeth whitening whereas for others a full mouth reconstruction with dental implants, veneers, crowns, bridgework and gum contouring may be needed to give them the smile of their dreams.

Cosmetic Dentistry Includes:

Dental veneers:
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made, shell-like structures of tooth-like ceramic material which cover the front portion of unattractive teeth. They are used to correct misaligned teeth, spacing, cracks, chips, discolored teeth and rotated teeth.

Dental bonding:

Dental bonding is a single sitting procedure in which a composite resin material is bonded on to the tooth surface. It is very cost effective and is mainly used to repair minor defects in the teeth like gaps, chips, discoloration etc

Dental Implants:

Dental implants are used to replace teeth loss due to various factors like teeth rots.. They are the next best thing to natural teeth. Dental implants are natural-looking replacements for missing teeth and also provide the same function as your natural tooth root .Teeth implants provide a strong foundation for teeth that are made to replace your natural teeth .

Dental Bridge:

A dental bridge is a false tooth, known as a pontic, which is fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth. The two crowns holding it in place that are attached onto your teeth on each side of the false tooth. This is known as a fixed bridge. This procedure is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Fixed bridges cannot be taken out of your mouth as you might do with removable partial dentures.

Teeth Whitening:

Teeth whitening is a process of removing stains that stick on to the enamel, it is bleaching process used to get rid of the discoloration of the teeth. The term "tooth whitening" or "tooth bleaching" can refer to a number of techniques to improve the brightness of the patient's tooth.


Dental Crowns:

Best Treatment for Gap Between Teeth Chennai


As we age and our teeth shift, a gap between the teeth may suddenly appear. If you have a tooth extracted which is not immediately replaced with an teeth implant or bridge, your entire bite may shift dramatically. The teeth surrounding this missing tooth may shift toward each other, creating a gap between the teeth. It's not at all unusual for a person who had a terrific smile her entire life to suddenly notice she now has gapped teeth.

For some, a very small gap between the front teeth can be charming, even attractive. Anything larger than the faintest of gaps, however, is usually regarded as unsightly. Of course, gaps that occur between teeth other than the two front teeth are completely undesirable. For instance, a gap between an incisor and a canine is quite noticeable, and very clumsy looking.

Reasons why gap may form:

  • Tumor growths.A gap can be a sign of a serious medical or dental condition. Tumor growths may need to be treated surgically.
  • Gum disease.Gum disease, which results in a loss of bone that supports the teeth, may be prevented by regular brushing and flossing. However, if a gap is forming as a result of gum disease, you need to see your dentist as soon as possible.
  • Self-inflicted behavior.These gaps occur when people push their tongue against their front teeth when swallowing or as a result of ‘mouth jewelry’. This pushes teeth forward and makes small gaps bigger. Again, if a small gap is getting bigger, have your dentist check it.


A fixed bridge relies on the structure of the neighbouring teeth adjacent to the gap to act as anchors for crowns to "bridge" the gap. This requires the reduction of healthy tooth tissue. The bridge is only as strong as the supporting teeth, and if one of the supporting teeth were to be damaged in the future or undergo decay, the integrity and strength of the bridge would also be lost.


Veneers are commonly used to close a gap between two front teeth (diastema), but if the gap is too large, the veneers used to the close the gap will be disproportionately wide compared to the rest of the natural teeth. This could leave the smile looking unnatural, whereas one of the aims of cosmetic dentistry is to create a beautiful and natural look

Orthodontics/braces/Invisalign:

The most conservative and minimally invasive way to close a small gap is orthodontic treatment, either using conventional fixed braces, or invisible braces such as the Invisalign system. There are many different types of braces available, such as lingual braces, the Inman aligner, Damon braces etc. They all serve one purpose: to apply pressure to the teeth to encourage them to move closer together to close the gap.


Dentists use the term "diastema" to refer to a space (gap) that lies between two teeth.
Tooth bonding provides one way a dentist can close a diastema. It can be placed on the two teeth that lie on each side of the gap so to reduce the gap's overall width.

Best Teeth Loss Correction with Dental Implants

A dental implant is a form of cosmetic dentistry used to replace missing teeth for a look and feel that is natural. They are surgically placed below the gums over a series of appointments. The procedure involves attaching the implants to the jawbone and gum tissue to become a stable base for one or more custom artificial replacement teeth, called dental crowns.

Common Causes of Tooth Loss:

There are many reasons a person might be missing teeth. The most common is tooth decay, which is related to gingivitis. Teeth that are not properly cared for decay over time. if left untreated, these teeth can become loose and fall out. Missing teeth may also be linked to other oral diseases, including periodontal (gum) disease.


  • Replace missing teeth with the look and feel of natural teeth without having to "cut down" healthy teeth.
  • Dental implants help stop the progressive bone loss and shrinkage of your jawbone by "mimicking" the roots of natural teeth.
  • Eliminate irritated and painful gums.
  • Improve your speech by eliminating or reducing the "fullness" of full or partial dentures.


Types of Dental Implants:

Implants rely on titanium fixtures inserted into the jawbone. There are three types of dental implants are available


Transosteal:

These implants consist of a metal framework that attaches on top of the jawbone but underneath the gum tissue.

Subperiostea:

These implants consist of a metal framework that attaches on top of the jawbone but underneath the gum tissue.

Endosseous:

These implants are usually shaped like a screw or cylinder and are made either of metal, metal covered with ceramic, or ceramic material. They are placed within the jawbone. There are also blade-shaped endosseous implants.


If you have gaps in your smile where your permanent teeth used to reside, you may find that more is missing from your life than just teeth. You may also miss out on good nutrition and even social engagements. Dental implants along with artificial teeth are often a good option to fill the gaps left by tooth loss. Many people find that dental implants are more comfortable, efficient and secure than are dentures or bridgework.

Root Canal Treatment-To Save Your Teeth


Earlier, a badly infected tooth, or one that just had significant decay, was doomed to be extracted. Today, the majority of these teeth can be salvaged by the Root Canal Specialist or the Endodontist.

When a tooth’s nerve tissue or pulp is damaged, it breaks down and bacteria begin to multiply within the pulp chamber. The bacteria and other decayed debris can cause an infection or abscessed Tooth. Severe pain, swelling, sensitivity to hot or cold, or a darkening tooth, are signs that a root canal problem exists.

Root Canal Treatment procedure is started by drilling the enamel part of the tooth, that is topmost portion of the tooth. First the Dentist enters the pulp chamber, where the infected pulp is present. The next step is exploration of root canal, removal of the remaining pulp tissue and infected tissue. The infected pulp is then drilled out and the root canal is disinfected with the help of intracanal medicament like essential oils (eugenol), phenolic compounds, Sodium Hypochlorite and iodides. Finally filling of root canal is done with an inert filling material called gutta percha.

Benefits of endodontic treatment?
Endodontic treatment saves teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted. Saving your natural teeth, if possible, is the best option. Occasionally a tooth cannot be saved. Endodontic treatment can be performed only if the root canals are accessible and can be adequately cleaned and sealed. The tooth must also have sufficient bone support.

Thangam's Dental Clinic, Chennai is one of the best dental clinic in India offering best root canal procedures at affordable prices.
