Most widely used veneer:

 

  • Porcelain veneers : porcelain itself is a brittle material. Although when bonded onto tooth surface, it can get very strong They are tough and can last for upto 10 to 15 years if proper care is taken. They match with the exact shade of your natural teeth and they are difficult to stain. Oral hygiene methods don’t need to change, you can brush and floss normally.

 

  • Composite resin : a small portion of tooth is cut and composite resin is bonded onto the tooth surface. They are comparatively cheaper than porcelain and also match with the exact shade of the natural teeth. But they sometimes chip off , crack or break ,especially in the front teeth region.

 

  • lumineers : They are the thinnest and strongest dental veneers. They require minimal to no tooth preparation. The whole procedure is basically pain free.They are slightly translucent. Hence not indicated in cases with severe discoloration.

 

  • Zirconia : An all ceramic cap is fitted as a veneer onto the tooth surface. They are the much stronger than the traditional porcelain veneers. As zirconia veneers require maximum amount of tooth reduction, they are only indicated in cases where there is severe and extensive damage to the tooth.

How is rotary root canal treatment done ?

What is rotary root canal treatment ?

Root canal treatment is an attempt to save a badly damaged , non restorable or infected tooth, instead of removing it. The damaged area is removed , followed by cleaning and disinfecting of the tooth (pulp). The area is than sealed with a filling material and later a crown or cap is fitted on top of it. Common reasons for the need of a root canal treatment include cracked tooth, deep cavities, infections (pus or abscess)  and trauma. Rotary endodontics is a procedure where a power driven instrument is used to perform the root canal treatment. Most accurate cleaning and shaping of root canals can be done by rotary instruments.It significantly reduced the chairside time, and in turn reduces patient discomfort.

In most cases, a root canal treated tooth can live for year or even a lifetime if proper care is taken. Remember that it’s always healthier and cheaper to preserve the natural tooth, rather than extracting and replacing it with a bridge or an implant.123

What to expect during a root canal treatment?

Many patients are scared to get root canal treatments because of what they have heard or remembering previous treatments done years ago. But Latest advances in the technology have made root canal treatments almost painless and very convenient. It is a minor procedure and it nothing to be worried about.

The doctor will take your x-ray and evaluate it. If needed, local anaesthesia will be administered before starting the treatment.

Antibiotics and painkillers will be prescribed if required.

  • As ageing occurs, constant wear and tear takes place and enamel wears off, exposing the underlying yellow dentin layer
  • Trauma causing injury to pulp or dentin.
  • Certain medications and genetic disorders
  • Grinding or clenching of teeth,which erodes enamel

 

How does teeth  whitening work ?

Teeth whitening is a simple process employed to whiten the teeth using hydrogen peroxide, carbamide peroxide or sodium perborate as bleaching agents.

The process usually requires one visit and is only repeated if the patient desires even brighter shade.
