Bridges are used to replace the missing teeth and fill the dental gaps. A normal dental bridge has the two crowns working as anchor points and required number of false teeth between them to fill the dental gap by a dental bridge.

Dental crowns are used to replace the chipped, decayed or missing teeth. They are long lasting restoration for teeth.

Crown is used for single tooth. It works as a cover on the decayed or chipped tooth. Further, it shields the dentin and prevents the tooth sensitivity covering the exposed dentin.

• Dental sealants are thin coatings painted on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars) that can prevent cavities for many years.
• Dental sealants prevent 80% of cavities over 2 years in the back teeth, where 9 in 10 cavities occur

The topical effect provides the majority of the benefit. Through systemic mechanisms, the lesser effect, fluoride is incorporated into the tooth structure during tooth development to harden the enamel and make more resistant to demineralization.

 and save your teeth. Patients typically need a root canal when there is inflammation or infection in the roots of a tooth.

 While once a year is the normal recommendation for most people, naturally everyone has different needs, and your dentist and hygienist will advise you on the best course of action for your circumstances. This will include the state of your historical and current oral health, at-home brushing and flossing habits, lifestyle factors, and any extenuating health issues you may have. Factors like having a sweet tooth, drinking soft drinks regularly, not flossing often (or at all), a history of cavities, wearing an appliance like a partial denture or braces, suffering from dry mouth or having a chronic illness like diabetes will put you into the high risk category for tooth decay and gum disease. Some medications can also make you more vulnerable to gum disease, such as blood thinners or medications for osteoporosis. If you are in the high risk category of being more vulnerable to cavities or gum disease then you will be advised to see your hygienist at least every six months – if not more often.

Dental veneers are tooth-coloured shells mostly made from resin-composite and porcelain materials that are attached to the surface of affected teeth. Veneers are thin, allowing them to comfortably bond to your teeth and improve the overall appearance. Depending on the level of damage, you can get a single veneer to cover a chipped tooth, or you can get a number of them to create a symmetrical smile that’s also evenly coloured.
