Teeth Cleaning

Teeth cleaning also referred to as scaling is a professional method of removing the tartar collected on your teeth thereby maintain good gum health .It is now known through scientific evidence that many medical conditions such as heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, are aggravated by gum disease. Although most people assume that maintaining a diligent hygiene routine at home like brushing, flossing and using a mouth wash can keep their teeth and gums healthy, there are certain areas around the teeth that cannot be reached with regular brushing and need professional cleaning instruments. Another important aspect in visiting your dentist regularly is providing an opportunity for detecting small cavities and defects in prior dental work before they become major problems. Thus expensive dental treatment may be avoided.

Dentures

Dentures may be recommended as solutions to missing few or complete teeth set. These are available in a variety of materials .

At the Mangalore implant centre we have doctors who have taken advanced training to master the art of fabricating dentures that are comfortable to patients. In situations where patients require additional support from their bone , implant supported dentures may be recommended that allow patients to regain their confidence and lead very normal social lives.

Crown & Bridges

A crown is a type of restoration that is usually done to cover a tooth that has been badly broken done due to caries, following root canal treatment or extensively worn down due to various reasons. Not only is it important to select from the wide range of materials but it is also essential that the lab that fabricates these crowns do it with state-of-the-art technique in order to ensure perfect fit that would prevent further decay and food impaction under the newly fabricated crowns . We at the Mangalore Implant Centre make sure that all the steps involved in the provision of crowns are done seamlessly and in an unhindered manner so that the patients receive a restoration lasting them a long time. Dental bridges are recommended to replace one or more missing teeth wherein the neighboring teeth are prepared to receive a restoration that will cover the missing teeth areas. These bridges are also available in a number of materials like Metal ceramic , all ceramic or full metal which the patients may discuss with the dentist and finalize. each of these materials have their advantages and disadvantages which you can feel free to discuss during your consultation.

Tooth Fillings

A filling is required when one has a cavity or decay that needs to be removed. After removal, instead of leaving the tooth with a hole in it, a dentist fills the gap with a material. This material prevents the tooth from being susceptible to further decay or infection. This filling needs to be strong like a tooth and one that binds to the teeth well. In the earlier times, metals like silver or gold had been used in the past, but with progress in materials today, many dental filling options are available. Teeth can be filled with porcelain or tooth-colored plastic, as well as materials called composite resin fillings. depending on the extent of decay and your preferences, your dentist will recommend the type of filling best suited for you. At the Mangalore implant centre we make sure that you are treated with the most sophisticated materials and with utmost care . You may be sure to get treated with the most skilled and compassionate dentists here.
