Teeth Cleanings & Deep Cleaning

About Teeth Cleanings & Deep Cleaning

What is Teeth Cleaning?
Teeth cleaning is a routine procedure to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth. It helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and maintains overall oral health.

What is Deep Cleaning?
Deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is recommended when there are signs of gum disease. It involves cleaning below the gum line to remove bacteria, plaque, and tartar, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.

Why is it Important?
Regular teeth cleanings keep your smile healthy. Deep cleaning helps stop the progression of gum disease and can prevent tooth loss.

Tooth Extractions

About Tooth Extractions

When is Extraction Needed?
A tooth extraction is necessary when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, or impacted (such as wisdom teeth). It can also be recommended for overcrowding to prepare for braces or dentures.

What to Expect?
During an extraction, the dentist carefully removes the tooth from the gum. Local anesthesia is used to ensure the procedure is comfortable and pain-free.

Aftercare
Post-extraction care includes managing swelling and avoiding certain foods for a few days. Healing typically takes a week, and you’ll be given instructions for proper care.

White Fillings & Composite Fillings

About White Fillings & Composite Fillings

What are White Fillings?
White fillings, also called composite fillings, are tooth-colored materials used to repair cavities or small fractures in your teeth. They blend with the natural tooth color for a seamless look.

Why Choose Composite Fillings?
Unlike metal fillings, composite fillings are virtually invisible. They’re durable and bond directly to the tooth, providing long-lasting protection while preserving the natural appearance.

How Long Do They Last?
With proper care, composite fillings can last for many years, ensuring a strong and aesthetically pleasing solution for damaged teeth.

Mouthguards

About Mouthguards

What are Mouthguards?
Mouthguards are custom-made devices designed to protect your teeth from injury during sports or to prevent teeth grinding (bruxism) while you sleep.

Types of Mouthguards

Sports Mouthguards: Prevent injuries like broken teeth and cuts during contact sports.
Nightguards: Protect your teeth from damage caused by grinding or clenching during sleep.

Why Custom-Fitted?
Custom mouthguards provide a better fit and more effective protection than store-bought versions. They are molded specifically to your teeth for maximum comfort and safety.
