Dental Exam

A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by your dentist at your initial dental visit. At regular check-up exams, your dentist and hygienist will perform the following:

• Examination of diagnostic X-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.
• Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
• Gum disease evaluation: Check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
• Examination of tooth decay: All tooth surfaces will be checked for decay with special dental instruments.
• Examination of existing restorations: Check current fillings, crowns, etc.

Professional Dental Cleaning

Professional dental cleanings (dental prophylaxis) are usually performed by Registered Dental Hygienists. Your cleaning appointment will include a dental exam and the following:

• Removal of calculus (tartar): Calculus is hardened plaque that has been left on the tooth for some time and is now firmly attached to the tooth surface. Calculus forms above and below the gum line and can only be removed with special dental instruments.
• Removal of plaque: Plaque is a sticky, almost invisible film that forms on the teeth. It is a growing colony of living bacteria, food debris, and saliva. The bacteria produce toxins (poisons) that inflame the gums. This inflammation is the start of periodontal disease!
• Teeth polishing: Remove stain and plaque that is not otherwise removed during tooth brushing and scaling.

Dental implants are an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth and provide a permanent alternative to removable dentures. They consist of artificial roots and teeth, typically made of titanium, surgically placed into the jawbone by a dentist or periodontist. These implants look natural and can enhance a patient’s smile.

Implants are strong and durable, lasting many years, though they may occasionally need adjustments. 

Benefits of Dental Implants:

• Replace missing teeth without impacting adjacent ones.
• Alleviate joint pain or bite issues from shifted teeth.
• Restore confidence in smiles.
• Improve chewing, speech, and digestion.
• Enhance facial appearance.
• Secure bridges or dentures for better comfort.

The Implant Process:

The implant process involves multiple visits over several months. Initially, X-rays and molds are taken to assess the jaw. After the area is numbed, the implant is placed and needs to heal for up to six months. A second surgery might be required to add the “post” for attaching the artificial tooth.

After healing, the artificial teeth are fitted, which can take one to two months. Once complete, the teeth are securely attached, ensuring comfort and stability.

Care instructions will be provided after treatment. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are essential for maintaining your implants.

Many people are concerned about the aesthetic impact of metal braces, particularly adults who find the idea of wearing unattractive braces for long periods discouraging. Invisalign® provides an almost invisible solution that straightens teeth quickly without metal.

Invisalign® treatment involves a series of custom-made aligning trays that your dentist changes every few weeks to fit your teeth. These trays can be temporarily removed for special occasions, giving patients control over their treatment duration. Many users report high satisfaction with the results.

What bite problems can Invisalign® correct?

Invisalign® can address the same dental issues as traditional braces, including:

• Overcrowding: Insufficient space for teeth, leading to decay and gum disease.
• Large gaps: Caused by missing teeth or abnormal jaw growth.
• Crossbite: Upper teeth biting inside the lower teeth, which can cause wear and gum disease.
• Overbite: Upper teeth projecting too far over lower teeth, potentially causing jaw pain.
• Underbite: Lower teeth projecting further than upper teeth, which can also lead to pain.

Advantages of Invisalign® over braces and veneers:

Invisalign® trays are removable and provide similar results to traditional braces, requiring discipline from the patient. Unlike veneers, which only cover teeth and require etching, Invisalign® actually straightens them. Veneers can also be costly, break easily, and often last under 20 years.

What does Invisalign® treatment involve?

The process begins with the dentist creating a treatment plan using 3D digital images of your jaw. This technology helps predict changes in facial aesthetics. Once planning is complete, a set of aligners is produced, typically requiring 20 to 29 sets per arch.

Considerations while wearing Invisalign® trays:

Adjusting to Invisalign® trays may take a few weeks. They should be worn constantly except for eating and drinking to prevent food debris from causing decay. New trays are typically needed every two weeks, and progress can be visibly tracked. Invisalign® has truly revolutionized orthodontics, known for its comfort and effectiveness.
