Indications for laser dental treatment

           Minor surgeries, gum procedures ,surgeries in medically compromised patients, cosmetic procedures like bleaching, lightening of dark gum and pain relief can be quick and painless with lasers.

Advantages of lasers

• There is no bleeding and no need to give sutures and messy packs can be avoided
• Quick and instant results help in reducing the treatment time.
• Unnecessary antibiotics and pain medications can be avoided.
• Patients can resume normal eating and brushing immediately.
• Can be safely used in pregnant women & patients with pace makers.

What to expect during a laser procedure

      Since lasers are high energy sources adequate protective eyewear will have to be worn during the procedure.

What to expect after a laser dental surgery

Most of the time the patient can go back to normal routine the same day.

Antiseptic gels will be given to be applied over the surgery area.

We offer Laser dentistry by world class trained laser dentists . Depending on what sort of treatment you require, there should exist some form of laser dentistry that can address your needs.

COSMETICS

           The contour, color and allignment of your teeth can be changed by such cosmetics techniques as
bleaching, bonding, veneers and inlays.

Bleaching lightens stains or discoloration and can be performed on living teeth or teeth that have undergone
root canal treatment

Bonding restores chipped, cracked, discolored or malaligned teeth by rebulding the surface with a plastic or
porcelain material

Porcelain laminate veneers bond custom-made tooth-shaped sheels to correct or camouflague discoloration, damage or
misalignment

Inlays and onlaysare tooth-colored restorations that are used on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth.
They can be placed instead of silver fillings or to replace existing silver fillings

Orthodontics correct crowded teeth, misaligned teeth and bite problems in childerns and adults.
The brightness of your smile may be adversely affected by certain foods and beverages that can stain your teeth, such as:

• Tobacco Products
• Coffee
• Tea
• Red wine
• Colored juices
• Curry
• Soy
• Minerals in well Water
• Cola Drinks

most stains can be removed or reduced by professional cleaning.

To keep a healthy, bright smile, daily care is a must. Regular brushing, flossing and visits to your dentist will minimize your risk
of tooth decay and gum disease.

Inside your tooth's hard outer shell is a nourishing pulp of blood vessels, lymph vessels and nerves.
The root canal, which contain the pulp, extend to the bone.

Deep tooth decay,or an injury, can cause serious damage and infection to the pulp's nerves and
vessels. Root canal, or endodontic, treatment cleans out the infected pulp chamber and repairs the damage.

Some indications of the need for root canal treatment may be:

• spontaneous pain or throbbing while biting.
• Sensitivity to hot and cold foods.
• Severe decay or an injury that create an abscess (infection) in the bone.

PROCEDURE

• Step 1
  After the tooth is anesthetized an opening is made through the crown in the pulp chamber.
• Step 2
  The length of the root canals is determined.
• Step 3
  Unhealthy pulp is removed. Canals are cleaned, enlarged and shaped.
• Step 4
  Canals are filled and sealed. A metal post may be added for structural support or to retain restorative materials.
• Step 5
  The tooth is sealed with a temporary filling. usually a gold or porcelian crown adds further protection.

The material used to fill your root canal will probably last you a lifetime, but eventually the filling or
crown may need to be replaced.

Use a soft-bristle brush and an ADA-accepted flouride tooth-paste to remove plaque and food particles. Replace your brush every two or three months.

On outer and inner surfaces, brush at a 45-degree angle in a short, half-tooth-wide stokes against the gumline.

On chewing surfaces, hold brush back and forth.

On inside surfaces of front teeth, tilt brush vertically and use gentle up and down strokes with toe and brush.

Brush the tougue in a back-to-front sweeping motion to remove food particles and freshen your mouth.

Proper Flossing

Flossing dailly removes plaque and food particles between teeth and below the gumline.

Wrap an 18-inch strand around your middle fingers and hold a one-inch section tightly.

Ease floss between teeth. clean up and down deveral times while curving around teeth at the gumline.

Always floss behind the last tooth. Unwind clean floss as you proceed.

Floss around the abutment teeth of a bridge and under artificial teeth using a floss threader.

You may experiance sore or bleeding gums for the first several days you floss if bleeding continues
after the first week of flossing, call your dental professional. if you have trouble handling floss, ask your dentist about
the use of a floss holder, or other types of interdental cleaning aids.

When your dentist detects a weak spot on your tooth, at-home flouride treatments may be recommended to reverse
thedecay process. if the weak spot is left unchecked, a cavity may form, necessitating a filling. If decay is allowed to
to spread, it may penetrate the root and enter the pulp (nerve) chamber, causing an abscess and requiring root canal treatment

PROGRESSION OF TOOTH DECAY

Tooth decay often beginson biting surfaces, between the teeth, and on exposed roots.

Untreated, the cavity becomes larger.

Decay spreads beneath the enamel and can destroy the tooth structure.

Decay enters the pulp and an abscess may occur

Use of flouridated toothpaste can help prevent tooth decay at its early stage.

Tooth enamel is hard and porous. it consists of many closely-packed rods made of minerals.When you
eat, acid forms on theoutside of the tooth and seeps into the enamel's pores.This deminerilization process can produce a weak spot
in the tooth's surface. if unchecked, the enamel can decay and create a cavity.

Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay by slowing the breakdown of enamel and speeding up the natural remineralization
process. These microscopic views of the tooth's chewing surface show how flouride works.

Healthy tooth enamel rods before acid's onslaught.

Enamel rods demineralized, or broken down, by acid.

Enamel rods remineralized, or rebuilt, by fluoride and the minerals in saliva.

Common sources of flouride are fluoridated drinking water, toothpaste and mouth rinse. inform your dentist if your
drinking water is not fluoridated. High concentration fluoride gels, mouth rinses, drops and tablets are available by prescription.

are the lower central incisors, followed closely by the upper central incisors. Althrough all 20 primary teeth usually appear
by age 3, the pace and order of their their eruption varies.

Oral care should begin soon after baby's birth Gums should be cleaned after each feeding You can begin brushing your child's teeth as soon as they appear.

Permanent teeth begin appearing around age 6. starting with the first molars and lower central incisors. This process continues until approximately age 21.

Adults have 28 permanent teeth, or up to 32 including the third molars (or wisdom teeth).

Always clean your infant's gums after feedings. Wipe gums with a clean damp cloth or gauze pad. Parents should brush chil dren's teeth daily with a soft wet toothbrush and a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Schedule a dental visit between 6-12 months of age. Supervise your child's brushing to ensure proper brushing habits.

To prevent nursing bottle mouth, if you must give your baby a bottle at nap or bed time, fill it with plain water-not milk, formula or juice.

Your dentist may recommend regular fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and resist decay. Whenever possible, drink fluoridated water and always use an ADA-accepted fluoridated toothpaste.

Dental sealants can provide a further layer of protection against cavities. The plastic coating is painted on the grooved chewing surfaces of the back teeth

one in each comer of the mouth They usually emerge during our late teens or early twenties

Oftentimes, wisdom teeth become trapped, or impacted in the jawbone and cause crowding,
displacement, decay, infection or gum disease. Impacted wisdom teeth can grow in many different
directions horizontally, vertically, or at an angle.

Angular, bony impaction of third molar (wisdom tooth).

Soft tissue impaction of third molar (wisdomtooth).In most cases, it is recommended that
impacted wisdom teeth are extracted

Wisdom tooth surgery is performed, usually under local anesthesia, in your dentist's office.
an outpatient surgical facility, or a hospital Make arrangements for a responsible adult to drive you home Plan
to rest at home for the remainder of the day

PROCEDURE

Incision is made and overlying bone is removed, exposing crown of impacted tooth.

Tooth is extracted whole or surgically sectioned. The site is sutured closed.

To ease any discomfort and promote healing

• Use ice packs on the check for swelling,alternating on and off every thirty minutes.
• Apply biting pressure with clean gauze to stop bleeding.
• Eat soft foods and drink extra fluids.
• Avoid hard or crunchy foods in the tendon area.
• Brush carefully the day after surgery.
• Take prescribed medication and follow all instructions as directed.

Call your doctor immediately in case of excessive bleeding or swelling, persistent,
severe pain or fever.

Is a surgery designed to correct conditions of the jaw and face related to
Structure, Growth, Sleep Apnea, TMJ disorders, Malocclusion problems owing to
skeletal disharmonies, or other orthodontic problems which cannot be easily treated
with braces.

This surgery is also used to treat congenital conditions such as cleft palate

The main goals of orthognathic surgery are to achieve a Correct bite, an Aesthetic
face, and an Enlarged airway for easy breathing.

the Jaw Joint[TMJ]and the muscles in the face that control chewing and moving the jaw.

TMD can occur when your jaw opens, closes or moves from side to side

TMD pain can be experienced in the jaw joint as well as in the muscles of the face that control your jaw's movement

Symptoms include pain, clicking of jaw, inability to close or open jaw and headache that radiates to head and neck.

Type of Treatment are simple corrective splints , full mouth rehabilitation , joint lavage and surgery.

Regular dental visits are essential to timely diagnosis and treatment.

Early and moderate periodontal disease may exhibit few it any symptoms Warning signs
of advanced periodontal disease may include red, swollen or bleeding gums per sister bad breath;
permanent teeth that are loose or separating changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite

There are many forms and stages of periodtal disease Most common are

Gingivitis

A mild inflammation of the gums caused by plaque build up Gums may be
red and or sore, and bleed upon probing An anti-microbial mouth rinse may be prescribed.

Periodontitis

If left untreated, the gum infection damages the bone
and supporting tissues. Your gum separates from the tooth and the bone level deteriorates

Advanced Periodontitis

Your gums recede farther and separate. Pus may develop. bone
loss continues, and Joss your teeth may loosen or fall out.

TREATMENTS

Your dentist will examine you for periodontal disease during each routine
checkup. A periodontal probe will be used to determine if there is any breakdown in the gum
tissue attachment or if pockets have developed between your gums and teeth.

Treatment will depend upon the type of periodontal disease and how
far the condition has progressed. Treatment options include:

Scaling cleans the teeth to remove deposits above and
below the gumline.

Root Planingsmooths rough root surfaces so the
gum can heal. Local anesthesia may be used.

Oral Irrigation directs anti-microbial (anti-plaque) liquid below
the gumline to flush out and kill germs to allow the regeneration of healthy tissue

If deep pockets are found and bone has been destroyed, your dentist may recommend
periodontal surgery.

A proper program of brushing, flossing and regular professional cleanings will help fight
plaque accumulation and gum disease, and help you keep your teeth for a lifetime.

into sweet or sour foods, or drink hot or cold beverages, you may have sensitive teeth.

Pain from sensitive teeth is not always constant: it can come and go. Constant pain could
be a sign of a more serious problem. It is still important, however, to discuss your symptoms with your
dentist to determine the cause and proper treatment

WHAT CAUSES SENSITIVE TEETH?

In healthy teeth, porous tissue called dentin is protected by your gums and your
teeth's hard enamel shell. Microscopic holes in the dentin, called tubules, connect back to the nerve
triggering pain when irritated by certain foods and beverages. Dentin can be exposed by:

• Receding gums caused by improper brushing or gum disease.
• Fractured or chipped teeth.
• Clenching or grinding your teeth.

TREATMENT

Depending on the diagnosis, your dentist may recommend one or more of
the following treatments to relieve the symptoms of sensitive teeth:

• A soft-bristle toothbrush to protect gums.
• A special toothpaste for sensitive teeth that can
  either block access to the nerve or insulate the nerve itself.
• A fluoride rinse or gel for sensitive teeth maybe prescribed by your dentist.

A sensitivity toothpaste usually eases pain in about two to four,
weeks. Follow your dental professional's special home care instructions for regular use
to keep pain from returning.

Partials and Dentures – Where several teeth are missing, and bridges or implants aren’t feasible,
a removable partial can be utilized to reform your smile. A prosthetic device containing artificial
teeth supported on a framework, it attaches to the natural teeth with retainers. Similarly, full
dentures are when a full set of teeth on either arch are needed. Unlike bridges or implants, both
of these devices need to be removed and cleaned daily and for sleeping.

When you lose one or more teeth, your remaining teeth can drift out of position.
This can lead to a change in the bite, the loss of additional teeth, decay and gum disease.

Dental implants can be an effective method to replace one tooth or several teeth.
Each implant consists of a metal anchor that is inserted into the jawbone, and a protruding post, which
is outfitted with an artificial tooth. Implants can also support a bridge, replace a partial denture or secure
a fixed denture. The process requires surgery and may take up to a year to complete

PROCEDURES

Several steps are usually necessary to place in implant. Depending on the type of implant,
the steps may vary. The placement of a single tooth endosteal implant is illustrated below:

In the first procedure under anesthesia, a metal anchor, or artificial root, is placed into the jawbone. Bone
grows around the anchor. This takes about three to six months.

Next, a "healing cap is placed when the implant is uncovered

Then, the healing cap is removed and a metal post, or abutment, may be attached to the anchor

When your gums and jaw bone have healed, an artificial tooth is constructed, then screwed or
cemented to the post. Fitting your new tooth properly may take several appointments,

Brush and floss your implant at least twice daily, just like your natural teeth. Be sure
to brush the back of the abutment and floss around the front, back and sides. Avoid chewing on hard objects or
extremely sticky food, Proper dental care will help keep your implants and your mouth healthy

What is oral implant?

It is an advanced medical technology for the treatment of tooth loss. A titanium implant
is implanted in the toothless area of the jawbone. The jawbone fuses with the titanium surface providing a
strong anchorage for the implant. The implant functions as a support for the dental prosthesis constructed over it.

What is the benifits of oral implant?

It can treat cases untreatable with conventional methods of dental bridges and dentures.

It prevents further resorption of the jaw bone following tooth loss.

It can perfectly restore chewing function

It avoids cutting down and overloading the natural teeth occurring with conventional
means of replacing tooth loss.

It helps restore a patient's self-esteem and confidence since it gives the feeling of regaining the real teeth.

Your jaw must have enough bone to support the implant (If not, bone grafting may be required)

There must be enough space to accommodate the prosthesis over the implant .

You must understand what the treatment can offer .

You must realize to what extent the treatment can meet your expectations

Should I consider oral implant?

You should consider oral implant when

You cannot wear or chew well with your denture.

You cannot tolerate a denture in your mouth

You have lost your back teeth making it impossible to construct a conventional dental bridge

You have a long toothless span which is not indicated for making a conventional dental bride

You want superior aesthetic results with your tooth replacement

You want the most effective way of restoring your chewing function.

What are the procedures involved?

The surgery can commence after thorough diagnosis and treatment planning.
A recipient site of the same size and shape as the implant is created in the jawbone with
drilling instruments The implant is inserted into the site prepared Usually, a healing period
of 3 to 6 months is required for the jawbone to fuse with the implant. The jawbone has different
densities in different areas the denser the bone, the shorter the healing period. After this
healing period, the prosthesis is constructed over the implant and the treatment is
completed Usually, a straightforward implant treatment takes about 4 to 7 months to
complete Longer periods are required for complex situation such as cases requiring bone grafting

How is the operation arranged?

The operation will be performed under aseptic condition usually in a
clinic with proper facilities and condition for oral implant surgery. Local anaesthesia
is given for pain control during the operation. Intravenous can be given if necessary.
Pain which may occur after the operation can be effectively controlled with oral medications.
The prosthetic part of the implant treatment does not require anaesthesia.

How successful is the treatment?

Modern oral implant treatment is highly successful, as a general
guideline, the five-year success rate of oral implant is over 95% with the lower jaw
(mandible) and about 90% with the upper jaw (maxilla). The success rates may slowly
decrease as the implant stays longer in function. In difficult cases, the success
rates are expected to be lower. Despite the overall high success rates with oral
implant treatment, there is still the possibility of failure which can be contributed
by various factors and conditions, such as poor healing power, poor bone quality,
smoking and diabetes.

How long can an oral implant last?

The service of an oral implant can be affected by many
factors High standards of treatment meticulous daily cleaning by the patient.
regular professional maintenance abstinence from smoking and avoidance of overloading
like chewing bones. shells. hard nuts and candies) can contribute to the durability of
the oral implant In view of the high success of modern oral implant treatment, an oral
implant can be considered a long lasting medical implant that does not need to be changed

Is the operation safe?

Whereas no medical treatment can be guaranteed 100 percent without risks
and failures, implant operation can be considered very safe. The prosthetic phase of treatment
is basically non-invasive and non-surgical in nature.

While millions of children and adults each year elect to begin orthodontic treatment, there are many
different types of orthodontic treatment to choose from. Your choice depends on which treatment is best
for your needs, and each approach has its own set of benefits.

Traditional braces consist of brackets that are bonded to each tooth, using a special dental adhesive,
and wires to help reposition the teeth. Braces are still the standard of care for treating significant
bite problems. Most younger teens prefer a stainless steel bracket that they can decorate with their
favorite colored o-rings that hold the wire to the bracket. We also offer ceramic brackets which are
virtually invisible and are the choice of many adult patients and older teens.

Traditional braces straighten the teeth by moving them with the help of a wire and elastics,
which look like tiny rubber bands. With these braces, you and your teen must periodically visit
your orthodontist in order to check the progress of the treatment and to have the wires adjusted.
We offer SureSmile technology to all our braces patients which is where we scan your teeth with
the braces on and design your finishing wires to be customized to your teeth and your perfect smile.
This system is extremely accurate leading to more perfect smiles often in less time.

Traditional braces work best for individuals who have severely crooked teeth or bite misalignments,
like crossbites, overbites and underbites. They also require less self discipline than aligner treatments.

What does it take to be successful in today's world? I could be skill. Well,
it could also be lots of talent. Or is it being immensely resourceful?

For an answer try standing in front of the mirror. Can you see it? Yes,
the answer is confidence and the right face value.

Times have changed and there's a lot of premium being attached to
looking your very best. But then, is it possible to keep on looking good? Is it really
possible to stop time from ravaging your appearance? Well, yes. Medical science now comes
to our rescue. To find out how, just read on.

What are wrinkles?

Looking good does not last forever Unfortunately, time can play spoilsport.
For many the first line, the first tension crease on the forehead may just leave a mark of worry. This is
where the word 'wrinkle' comes into play. Technically, wrinkle is the thin, creased and sagging skin that is
especially noticeable on the face, neck and hands.

What causes wrinkles?

Wrinkles are certainly not lines one is born with. Over time, the increased muscle
activity, exposure to the sun, wind etc. cause these undesirable lines. Most of us do not realize that
wrinkles are being formed on our face over time, due to continuous muscle activity which results in
muscle contraction These get more pronounced when we use facial expressions and eventually they become
permanent features of our face, whether we like it or not.

There are 4 most commonly seen wrinkles on the face.

Forehead Lines: These are horizontal lines which appear on the forehead and become more
pronounced when one raises eyebrows.

Frown Lines: As the name suggests, these lines form between eyes and appear prominent
when one frowns.

Crows Feet: Their shape distinctly reminds you of the feet of a crow and these lines
are found around the eyes. They become pronounced when one smiles.

Bunny Lines: These are lines formed on the nose which become dominant when one
scrunches, making the nose resemble that of a rabbit.

What are the common treatment for Wrinkle?

There are various solutions in the market which promise
to fight wrinkles. But then it's not the numbers but the effectiveness of each
solution that counts. People have been using various anti- wrinkle solutions but
are mostly left dissatisfied by their tall claims. What most people fail to
understand is that wrinkles can only be removed if the applied solution either
works on contracted muscles which cause wrinkles or expands the volume of the
skin. Creams work on just the upper surface of the skin.

What are these solutions?

There are few solutions. To name a few, these are collagen,
dermal filler and protein complex. Collagen is a traditional treatment for wrinkles,
an injection to fill soft tissues which smoothens the creases. This is usually safe
but not for those (2 out of 100 users) who are allergic to collagen injections.
Derma fillers restore volume and fullness to the skin, in places where it is
injected. The main complaint against it is pain during the treatment. Moreover,
these do not work on dynamic wrinkles, 1,e. wrinkles which become
apparent when one makes expressions. BOTOX, the protein complex, works
well for dynamic wrinkles. The doctor is the best judge to decide the
suitable treatment, based on one's condition. It's always advisable to
consult the doctor before embarking on these treatments.

What is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is the most popular wrinkle reduction
treatment. It is a natural, Botulinum Toxin Type A BOTOX purified protein that
Purified Neurontin Comples 00 UNIT relaxes the wrinkle causing muscles, creating
a smoothened rejuvenated 100 and more youthful appearance. It's a simple non-surgical
procedure that smoothens the deep persistent facial lines which develop over time.
BOTOX is the only botulinum toxin in the world registered for the treatment of frown
lines and approved by the US FDA. It has been widely tested with over 15 years of
safe and effective use in millions of patients worldwide.

How does BOTOX work?

It is simple! PHOTOS related the tiny facial muscles that
cause expression lines, leaving the overlying skin smooth and wrinkled. Once
the muscle is relaxed, one cannot contract it. Thus the line gradually smoothens
out from disuse and new creases are prevented from forming. Simply
translated it means, one has a face that looks a lot younger and fresh.

Does BOTOX® act on a specific part of the face or does it act on other parts too?

That's the beauty of BOTOX®. It works on that particular area
for which treatment is sought. For instance, it does not affect the other
muscle responsible to raise the eyebrows, and so natural expression
is maintained. It will not freeze facial expressions. It softens them and
works only where one wants it to.

Are there any side effects of BOTOX?

BOTOX is approved by US FDA for cosmetic use, thereby declaring it a
safe product. There is no report of serious allergic reaction or other significant side
effects, except for minor side effects such as bruising. BOTOX® has been in use for over
15 years and its safety in long-term use has been well established.

How much time does the BOTOX therapy take?

Ten minutes. Yes, that's all it takes to get treated with
BOTOX. That is how it is known as a 'lunch-time procedure'. Just a few tiny injections
relax the muscles that cause age related lines to form. The muscles are kept relaxed
for 4-6 months. In the process, one gets a new younger look.

Is it painful to undertake BOTOX® therapy?

Most clients describe it as an ant-bite sting for a few seconds.
The client goes through none of the discomfort they perceive. The doctor determines
where to use BOTOX®, to achieve best results.

How long does the BOTOX® effect last?

As every patient is different from the other, it depends
entirely on the individual, but a single treatment of BOTOX® will normally last
for approximately 4-6 months and eventually there is a gradual fading of its effects.
At this point, it's advisable to return to the doctor to continue treatment

How long does it take to see the results?

It is wrong to think that BOTOX® takes a long time to start
working. The results are dramatic and apparent within a few days. After the injection,
it takes 2-3 days for BOTOX® to begin taking effect and around 10-15 days to see the
full effect.

Can one return to regular activities after the BOTOX® treatment?

Of course one can. Infact, the treatment is so easy and
convenient that people can take it during a lunch break and return to work almost
immediately. No wonder it's known as the 'lunch time procedure', as this is the norm.

Will the lines look worse if one chooses to discontinue the treatment?

No. Lines gradually revert to their pre-treatment
appearance. However, this may take 6 to 12 months from the time one stop
BOTOX treatment.

Can men also use BOTOX ?

BOTOX is equally effective on men and women. Over 220,000
BOTOX procedures were performed on men in United States in 2004, making it the
leading cosmetic treatment for men.

Is BOTOX® only for celebrities?

Contrary to popular belief, BOTOX is most widely used by
people like you and me and not necessarily only by celebrities.

Is BOTOX® expensive?

When considering one's facial enhancement options, BOTOX is
quite affordable. Many people are surprised at the relative cost compared to other
appearance related investments such as facial, hair coloring and wrinkle creams.
As one patient reported: "BOTOX® is surprisingly affordable around the same as a
few facials or visits to the hair colorist".
