A Great Smile with Cosmetic Dentistry

The two crowns holding it in place that are attached onto your teeth on each side of the false tooth. This is known as a fixed bridge. This procedure is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Fixed bridges cannot be taken out of your mouth as you might do with removable partial dentures.

Best Treatment for Gap Between Teeth Chennai


As we age and our teeth shift, a gap between the teeth may suddenly appear. If you have a tooth extracted which is not immediately replaced with an teeth implant or bridge, your entire bite may shift dramatically. The teeth surrounding this missing tooth may shift toward each other, creating a gap between the teeth. It's not at all unusual for a person who had a terrific smile her entire life to suddenly notice she now has gapped teeth.

For some, a very small gap between the front teeth can be charming, even attractive. Anything larger than the faintest of gaps, however, is usually regarded as unsightly. Of course, gaps that occur between teeth other than the two front teeth are completely undesirable. For instance, a gap between an incisor and a canine is quite noticeable, and very clumsy looking.

Reasons why gap may form:

  • Tumor growths.A gap can be a sign of a serious medical or dental condition. Tumor growths may need to be treated surgically.
  • Gum disease.Gum disease, which results in a loss of bone that supports the teeth, may be prevented by regular brushing and flossing. However, if a gap is forming as a result of gum disease, you need to see your dentist as soon as possible.
  • Self-inflicted behavior.These gaps occur when people push their tongue against their front teeth when swallowing or as a result of ‘mouth jewelry’. This pushes teeth forward and makes small gaps bigger. Again, if a small gap is getting bigger, have your dentist check it.


A fixed bridge relies on the structure of the neighbouring teeth adjacent to the gap to act as anchors for crowns to "bridge" the gap. This requires the reduction of healthy tooth tissue. The bridge is only as strong as the supporting teeth, and if one of the supporting teeth were to be damaged in the future or undergo decay, the integrity and strength of the bridge would also be lost.


Veneers are commonly used to close a gap between two front teeth (diastema), but if the gap is too large, the veneers used to the close the gap will be disproportionately wide compared to the rest of the natural teeth. This could leave the smile looking unnatural, whereas one of the aims of cosmetic dentistry is to create a beautiful and natural look

Orthodontics/braces/Invisalign:

The most conservative and minimally invasive way to close a small gap is orthodontic treatment, either using conventional fixed braces, or invisible braces such as the Invisalign system. There are many different types of braces available, such as lingual braces, the Inman aligner, Damon braces etc. They all serve one purpose: to apply pressure to the teeth to encourage them to move closer together to close the gap.


Dentists use the term "diastema" to refer to a space (gap) that lies between two teeth.
Tooth bonding provides one way a dentist can close a diastema. It can be placed on the two teeth that lie on each side of the gap so to reduce the gap's overall width.

Best Teeth Loss Correction with Dental Implants

A dental implant is a form of cosmetic dentistry used to replace missing teeth for a look and feel that is natural. They are surgically placed below the gums over a series of appointments. The procedure involves attaching the implants to the jawbone and gum tissue to become a stable base for one or more custom artificial replacement teeth, called dental crowns.

Common Causes of Tooth Loss:

There are many reasons a person might be missing teeth. The most common is tooth decay, which is related to gingivitis. Teeth that are not properly cared for decay over time. if left untreated, these teeth can become loose and fall out. Missing teeth may also be linked to other oral diseases, including periodontal (gum) disease.


  • Replace missing teeth with the look and feel of natural teeth without having to "cut down" healthy teeth.
  • Dental implants help stop the progressive bone loss and shrinkage of your jawbone by "mimicking" the roots of natural teeth.
  • Eliminate irritated and painful gums.
  • Improve your speech by eliminating or reducing the "fullness" of full or partial dentures.


Types of Dental Implants:

Implants rely on titanium fixtures inserted into the jawbone. There are three types of dental implants are available


Transosteal:

These implants consist of a metal framework that attaches on top of the jawbone but underneath the gum tissue.

Subperiostea:

These implants consist of a metal framework that attaches on top of the jawbone but underneath the gum tissue.

Endosseous:

These implants are usually shaped like a screw or cylinder and are made either of metal, metal covered with ceramic, or ceramic material. They are placed within the jawbone. There are also blade-shaped endosseous implants.


If you have gaps in your smile where your permanent teeth used to reside, you may find that more is missing from your life than just teeth. You may also miss out on good nutrition and even social engagements. Dental implants along with artificial teeth are often a good option to fill the gaps left by tooth loss. Many people find that dental implants are more comfortable, efficient and secure than are dentures or bridgework.

Root Canal Treatment-To Save Your Teeth


Earlier, a badly infected tooth, or one that just had significant decay, was doomed to be extracted. Today, the majority of these teeth can be salvaged by the Root Canal Specialist or the Endodontist.

When a tooth’s nerve tissue or pulp is damaged, it breaks down and bacteria begin to multiply within the pulp chamber. The bacteria and other decayed debris can cause an infection or abscessed Tooth. Severe pain, swelling, sensitivity to hot or cold, or a darkening tooth, are signs that a root canal problem exists.

Root Canal Treatment procedure is started by drilling the enamel part of the tooth, that is topmost portion of the tooth. First the Dentist enters the pulp chamber, where the infected pulp is present. The next step is exploration of root canal, removal of the remaining pulp tissue and infected tissue. The infected pulp is then drilled out and the root canal is disinfected with the help of intracanal medicament like essential oils (eugenol), phenolic compounds, Sodium Hypochlorite and iodides. Finally filling of root canal is done with an inert filling material called gutta percha.

Benefits of endodontic treatment?
Endodontic treatment saves teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted. Saving your natural teeth, if possible, is the best option. Occasionally a tooth cannot be saved. Endodontic treatment can be performed only if the root canals are accessible and can be adequately cleaned and sealed. The tooth must also have sufficient bone support.

Thangam's Dental Clinic, Chennai is one of the best dental clinic in India offering best root canal procedures at affordable prices.

Dental Crown To Save Your Teeth



What is a Dental Crown?
Dental crown or dental cap is a dental restoration that completely covers the visible portion of your damaged tooth to protect what remains of the tooth structure, providing you with a strong, long-lasting layer of protection against tooth fracture. Crowns are caps that are placed over teeth to both improve their appearance and their functionality. A dental cap is cemented onto the tooth for restoring the original natural-looking appearance of the teeth.


When is a dental crown needed?
Dental crowns may be the best option in various situations: a filling breaks, a tooth chips, a cavity is too large, or a tooth is misshaped.


Dental Crowns: Types & materials
Three main types of dental crowns exist, depending on the type of material:
1) porcelain crowns, 2) porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, and 3) gold crowns.

A porcelain crown is made completely of porcelain, which is an extremely natural looking and aesthetic material. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns are made with a metal inside and porcelain outside; the metal inside provides proper strength and the porcelain outside provides a beautiful appearance. Gold crowns are obviously made of gold but are rarely used anymore due to their poor aesthetics.



The dentist will shape the tooth so that, with the artificial crown, it will be the same size as a normal tooth. Your dentist will use a soft mountable material to make an exact ‘impressions’ of the tooth that is to be crowned and the nearby teeth. A dental technician uses the impressions to make the crown the exact height and size needed.
A temporary crown made of plastic is put over the tooth until the permanent crown is made. You can chew on a temporary crown but it won’t be as strong as the finished one. When the crown is fitted, your dentist will make small adjustments to make sure you can bite comfortably. The crown is tried on first, and then glued into place.

Dental Crown: Care & flossing
A dental crown should not be treated any differently than other natural tooth. You should continue proper oral hygiene with routine brushing and flossing.


Thangam's dental clinic, Chennai offers best dental crowns procedures at affordable prices.

The Cheapest Diastema Closure Technique in India

Diastema closure is a naturally occurring gap in the tooth row, most commonly between the incisors and first premolar. A diastema creates a dark spot within a smile as the darkness of the back of the mouth shows. It is also known as gap closure. Diastema is an adjustable dental condition. This includes traditional braces, Invisalign, or direct dental bonding to make the teeth wider and thus fill up the space.



Procedure


Tooth gap closure treatment of the teeth can be done using several methods like orthodontics, composite bonding, or porcelain veneers for optimal aesthetic results.
Some people get braces, which move the teeth together. Often, no matter where the diastema is, you must wear a full set of braces on both your upper and lower teeth. That is, because moving any teeth affects your entire mouth. If your lateral incisors are too small, your dentist may suggest widening them using crowns, veneers or bonding.


Tooth bonding provides one way a dentist can close the teeth gap. Diastema bonding can be placed on the two teeth that lie on each side of the gap so to reduce the gap's overall width. Depending on its original size, a dentist and patient might decide to fill in a diastema just partially or else close it all of the way.

A diastema that takes place because of a mismatch between the teeth and the jaw does not have symptoms. If you have a space because you are missing teeth, you might need more extensive dental repair. This might include dental implants, a bridge or a partial denture.

The major advantage of this procedure is that most of the person’s original tooth structure is maintained. Orthodontics treatment is very useful to maintain the diastema closure.

Thangam's dental care is a multi speciality dental clinic situated in the heart of Chennai city, with all latest equipments and providing all types of treatment modalities. Thangams qualified dentists helps you to get a new look to your face through gap closure treatments.

Cheap Dental Crowns in India


A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth. It covers the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength and to improve its appearance. Depending on your habits and the condition of your gums, there can be some drawbacks. Dental crowns cover the entire visible surface area of an affected tooth and add strength, durability, and stability to the tooth. Approximately 85% of dental crowns and bridges are metal-based and 15% ceramic-based.

There are various situations that would require the placement of a crown, such as root canals, lost fillings, dental bridges, decay below a filling, and chipping and cracking of tooth enamel. The cracking or breakage of teeth can be caused by age, tooth decay, fillings and an improper bite.

A dental crown may be needed to:

  • To protect a weak tooth (eg, from decay) from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth
  • To Support a tooth that has been badly damaged by tooth decay
  • To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't a lot of tooth left
  • To cover misshaped or severely discolored teeth
  • To hold a dental bridge in place
  • To cover a dental implant
  • To Protect a worn tooth
  • To cover a tooth that has been endodontically treated (had a root canal)

The Dental Crown Procedure


Depending on the extent of the decay or damage to the tooth, the dentist may perform a root canal before placing a crown on the tooth. If this is the case, the dentist may need to build a foundation for the crown after the root canal has been performed, also known as a "post-and-core" foundation.
Before the crown can be placed on the tooth, the dentist must file the tooth down to make room for it. Then an impression of the tooth and the surrounding teeth will be made. While the crown is being created, a temporary acrylic crown will be placed on the tooth.

When the permanent crowns are ready, the temporary crowns are replaced at a separate visit. The crown will last anywhere from seven to 40 years.

Best Removable Prosthesis with Affordable cost in India

A removable partial denture fills in the space created by missing teeth and fills out your smile. A denture helps you to properly chew food, a difficult task when you are missing teeth. In addition, a denture may improve speech and prevent a sagging face by providing support for lips and cheeks.
 
Partial dentures
A partial denture is a removable prosthesis; it is usually consist of replacement teeth attached to pink or gum-colored plastic bases, which are connected by metal framework. However partial dentures are not suited as a permanent solution due to the fact that, using fixation clasps, teeth will be damaged and loosen. Furthermore, the toothless part of the jaw is subject to a loss of the jaw bone, thus it is essential for most patients to regularly reline the partial denture in order to improve the position of the denture on its base.

Partial denture offers numerous advantages. The frameworks are cast to fit the teeth. Since they sit on the teeth, as well as being attached to them, they are extremely stable and retentive.  The teeth have been altered slightly beforehand in order that the partial denture can rest upon them without interfering with the way the patient bites the teeth together.  It also has many other advantages like it may preserve the natural tooth placement of your existing teeth. They ensure proper chewing and digestion by thoroughly grinding your food. A properly designed partial denture will assist in support of your existing teeth. A removable partial denture will add enjoyment to your life.
Advantages of removable partial dentures over fixed partial dentures:

·        Often look better
·        Easier to repair
·        Less expensive

Disadvantages:

·        Can be lost or broken when out of the mouth

Full dentures

The dentist may advise against certain treatments if the enamel (the outer layer of the tooth) is worn. There is no enamel on an exposed tooth root, so the root cannot be whitened.
