ROOT CANAL TREATMENT Experiencing severe pain from a badly damaged tooth? Don’t pull it out just yet. Ask your dentist if a root canal can save your tooth from extraction. When will you need a root canal? “Root canal” refers to the natural cavity inside your tooth that contains the soft dental pulp that is made up of nerves and blood vessels. The dental pulp can be damaged by: ·  extensive tooth decay ·  repeated dental procedures on the tooth ·  large fillings ·  crack or chip in the tooth ·  trauma When the pulp is damaged, it decays and becomes infested with bacteria. The tooth becomes infected and abscess or pus forms at the end of the roots. The abscessed tooth can cause pain and swelling that may spread to the other areas of your head and neck. If left untreated, an abscessed tooth can cause other serious dental problems. What is a root canal treatment? Root canal treatment or endodontic therapy is a procedure that removes the infected, injured or dead pulp and nerves from your tooth. The pulp and nerves of the tooth are not vital. Once your tooth fully develops and emerges from the gum line, the function of the pulp and nerves of your tooth becomes limited to providing you sensations of heat and cold. Removing the pulp and nerves will not affect the functioning of the tooth. After the pulp and nerves are removed, the tooth is cleaned, disinfected and filled. A root canal treated tooth should be restored with a crown to protect the tooth, prevent it from breaking and restore its function. 

Bone Graft Tooth extraction, bone loss and use of removable appliances for a long period time often lead to a decrease in bone volume which makes it impossible to position dental implants in such a way that they can optimally support a dental prosthesis. Alveolar bone defects/deficiencies can be prevented and overcome by surgical placement of bone graft.Bone has a unique capacity to regenerate itself completely. Bone graft materials are used to facilitate bone formation within a given space by occupying that space and allowing bone growth to take place. They help maintain space under a barrier membrane for bone formation to occur. Goals of bone graft placement include: Restoration of bone ridge contour in the area of a missing toothCorrection/elimination of ridge defectsReduce postoperative infection, enhancing bone and soft tissue healingPrepare alveolar bone ridge for the placement of implants and other dental prosthesis (crowns, bridges, dentures)Bone Graft Surgery is a surgical procedure that involves placement of the bone graft material on a deficient space which is then covered with a membrane barrier and held in place with sutures. The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours with an initial recovery period of two weeks. Natural bone regenerates for a period of 3-6 months, replacing the bone graft material completely, before a dental implant will be placed.

Zirconia Dental Bridge Zirconia is a ceramic material that has revolutionized modern dentistry. Because of its exceptional qualities in terms of strength and aesthetics, Zirconia is now being widely used by dentists to produce fast and high quality dental veneers, crowns, bridges and even implants. What are the advantages of Zirconia? STRENGTH:  Zirconia is very durable and is very hard to crack. It is actually the strongest material used in dentistry today. AESTHETICS: Zirconia is a white ceramic with good translucency features. It resembles the natural tooth enamel because of its color and translucency. It can also be further enhanced aesthetically by applying layers of porcelain to achieve the desired look, color and features of real teeth. NON-METALLIC: Zirconia is not a metal. It does not rust, oxidize or chemically corrode.  Unlike Porcelain fused to metal bridges, you don’t have to worry about the black metal outlines showing up on your gum lines after a couple of years.BIOCOMPATIBILITY:  Zirconia is compatible with living tissue. It is not toxic and is very well tolerated by the body. It does not cause allergy.TEMPERATURE RESISTANT: Zirconia resists hot and cold temperatures very well. Because of this, hypersensitivity normally experienced by patients with other materials is greatly reduced.STAIN RESISTANT: Zirconia does not easily stain compared acrylic and other composite ceramics.FAST AND PRECISE: Zirconia dental bridges are made with high levels of precision and in a very short period of time because they are designed and manufactured in our clinic with state-of-the-art CADCAM equipment.
