The human crystalline lens, which is clear and transparent is part of the focusing mechanism of the eye. With age, the lens becomes cloudy and opaque, thereby hampering normal vision. Any opacity in the crystalline lens, which leads to decreased vision is cataract. The early cataractous lens bends light irregularly, so the images formed are blurred and unclear. When opaque, the cataract may cut off light nearly in total, causing blindness (reversible).

Full Mouth Rehabilitation Is The Process Of Rebuilding Or Simultaneously Restoring All Of The Teeth In Both The Upper And Lower Jaws. Full Mouth Reconstruction Typically Involves General Or Restorative Dentists (Performing Procedures Like Crowns, Bridges And Veneers), And Can Incorporate Dental Specialists Like Periodontists (Specializing In The Gums), Oral Surgeons, Orthodontists (Specializing In Tooth Movements And Positions) And Endodontists (Specializing In The Tooth Pulp). The Need For Full Mouth Reconstruction May Result From: Teeth That Have Been Lost Due To Decay Or Trauma. Teeth That Have Been Injured Or Fractured. Teeth That Have Become Severely Worn As A Result Of Long-Term Acid Erosion (Foods, Beverages, Acid Reflux) Or Tooth Grinding. Ongoing Complaints Of Jaw, Muscle And Headache Pain Requiring Adjustments To The Bite (Occlusion). Following Procedures Are Involved:- Prophylactic Teeth Cleaning And Periodontal Care (Approximately $80, On Average). Crown Lengthening To Expose Healthy, Sound Tooth Structure For Possible Crowns Or Bridges (Approximately $550, On Average). Orthognathic Surgery To Reposition The Jaw. Contouring Of The Gum Tissue To Create Balance And Harmony In Your Smile. Preparation (Reduction) Of Your Natural Tooth Structure So Crowns, Bridges Or Veneers Can Be Placed. Placement Of Temporary Restorations So You Can Become Accustomed To Your New Teeth And The Feel Of Your New Mouth Or Bite Alignment. Placement Of Permanent Restorations, Such As Crowns, Veneers, Inlays/Onlays Or Bridges, Made From Ceramic, Ceramic Supported By Metal Or A Combination Of Both. Implant Placement And Restoration To Replace Missing Teeth And/Or Anchor Bridge Restorations. Bone Or Soft Tissue Grafting To Enhance The Stability Of Your Teeth, Proposed Implants And/Or Other Restorations.

Laser is a precise and effective way to perform many dental procedures. The potential for laser dentistry to improve dental procedures rests in the dentists ability to control power output and the duration of exposure on the tissue (whether gum or tooth structure), allowing for treatment of a highly specific area of focus without damaging surrounding tissues. Lasers minimize pain and help in time recovery. Benefits of Laser Dentistry? Procedures performed using soft tissue dental lasers may not require sutures (stitches). Certain laser dentistry procedures do not require anesthesia. Laser dentistry minimizes bleeding because the high-energy light beam aids in the clotting (coagulation) of exposed blood vessels, thus inhibiting blood loss. Bacterial infections are minimized because the high-energy beam sterilizes the area being worked on. Damage to surrounding tissue is minimized. Wounds heal faster and tissues can be regenerated. Tissue (Tooth) Laser Dentistry Procedures Cavity Detector: Low intensity soft tissue dental lasers may be used for the early detection of cavities by providing a reading of the by-products produced by tooth decay. Dental Fillings/Tooth Preparation: Hard tissue dental lasers may eliminate the need for a local anesthetic injection and the traditional turbine dental drill. Lasers used in dental filling procedures are capable of killing bacteria located in a cavity, potentially leading to improved long term tooth restorations. However, dental lasers are not appropriate for the replacement of amalgam fillings, onlays or crowns. Tooth Sensitivity: Dental lasers may be used to seal tubules (located on the root of the tooth) that are responsible for hot and cold tooth sensitivity. Soft Tissue (Gum) Laser Dentistry Procedures Crown Lengthening: Dental lasers can reshape gum tissue (soft tissue laser) and bone (hard tissue laser) to expose healthier tooth structure. Referred to as crown lengthening, such reshaping provides a stronger foundation for the placement of restorations. Gummy Smile: Dental lasers can reshape gum tissue to expose healthy tooth structure and improve the appearance of a gummy smile. Muscle Attachment (Frenula): A laser frenectomy is an ideal treatment option for children who are tongue tied (restricted or tight frenulum) and babies unable to breast feed adequately due to limited tongue movement. A laser frenectomy may also help to eliminate speech impediments. Soft Tissue Folds (Epulis): Dental lasers may be used for the painless and suture-free removal of soft tissue folds often caused by ill-fitting dentures. Other Laser Dentistry Applications Viewing Tooth and Gum Tissues: Optical Coherence Tomography is a safer way to see inside tooth and gums in real time. Benign Tumors: Dental lasers may be used for the painless and suture-free removal of benign tumors from the gums, palate, sides of cheeks and lips.

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Orthognathic Surgery Facial Trauma Sinus Lift Procedure Wisdom Teeth Orthognathic Surgery Orthognathic surgery is surgery performed on the bones of the jaws to change their positions. Orthognathic surgery is corrective facial surgery where deformities of the jaw exist. It may be indicated for functional, cosmetic, or health reasons. It is surgery commonly done on the jaws in conjunction with orthodontic treatment, which straightens the teeth. Facial Trauma Facial trauma, also known as maxillofacial trauma, is any injury to the face or jaw bone. Facial trauma may present with skin lacerations, obstruction to the nasal cavity or sinuses, damage to the orbital sockets, fracture to the jawbone and missing teeth. Treatment for facial trauma often involves airway control, bleeding control, reduction of swelling, prevention of infection, and repair of bone fractures, repair of lacerations or soft tissue injury, and reconstruction. The most common causes of facial trauma are sports, accidents, penetrating injuries, and violence. Sinus Lift Procedure In order to successfully place implants you need sufficient bone. In certain situations dentist need to perform specific procedures in order to create bone volume. One such procedure is sinus lift. The maxillary sinuses are behind your cheeks and on top of the upper teeth. Sinuses are like empty rooms that have nothing at all in them. Some of the roots of the natural upper teeth extend up into the maxillary sinuses. When these upper teeth are removed, there is often just an egg shell thin wall of bone separating the maxillary sinus and the mouth. Dental implants need bone to hold them in place so when the sinus wall is very thin, it is impossible to place dental implants in this bone. There is a solution called a sinus graft or sinus lift graft. The dental implant surgeon enters the sinus from the side above where the upper teeth used to be. The sinus membrane is then lifted upward and donor bone is inserted into the floor of the sinus. After several months of healing, the bone becomes part of the patients jaw and dental implants can be inserted and stabilized in this new sinus bone. The sinus graft makes it possible for many patients to have dental implants when years ago there was no other option other than wearing loose denture REMOVAL OF WISDOM TOOTH: The Wisdom tooth, ( also called Third Molar ) usually do not push through the gums until the late teens or twenties. Wisdom teeth are usually the last teeth to come through the gums.

Cold Sores: Low intensity dental lasers reduce pain associated with cold sores and minimize healing time. Nerve Regeneration: Photobiomodulation can be used to regenerate damaged nerves, blood vessels and scars. Sleep Apnea: In cases where sleep apnea is a result of a tissue overgrowth in areas of the throat (which sometimes occurs with age), a laser assisted uvuloplasty or laser assisted uvula palatoplasty (LAUP) procedure can be performed to reshape the throat and relieve the correlating breathing problems associated with sleep apnea. Teeth Whitening: Low intensity soft tissue dental lasers may be used to speed up the bleaching process associated with teeth whitening.
