A dental crown may be needed in the following situations:

1. To protect a weak tooth (for instance, from decay) from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth.
2. To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down.
3. To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn''t a lot of tooth left.
4. To hold a dental bridge in place.
5. To cover miss happened or severely discolored teeth.
6. To cover a dental implant.
7. To make a cosmetic modification.

A fixed partial denture is also called a dental implant bridge. A dental implant bridge permanently attaches artificial teeth directly to the jaw with a dental crown or under the gum tissue with dental implants.A removable partial denture is also known as a removable dental bridge. A removable dental bridge fills the gap between two healthy teeth and consists of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic base. Removable partial dentures are connected by a metal framework that helps keep them in place

Partial dentures:

• Make it easier to speak and chew.
• Maintain the shape of your face.
• Decrease the risk of periodontal disease and resulting gum disease treatment.
• Prevent teeth from shifting in your mouth.
• Ease the stress of your jaw.

Cast partial dentures are for old age group patients for multiple tooth missing situtation it can be removed and fixed by the patients itself. Removable Partial Dentures with cast metal frameworks offer numerous advantages over the conventional partial dentures commonly used. The frameworks of these dentures 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 to be altered slightly beforehand in order that the partial denture can rest upon them without interfering with the way the patient bites the teeth together.

The metal framework does not contact the gums. Thus, as the gums resorb, this type of partial denture does not sink with them and rarely requires relining. Because the teeth are altered beforehand, there are fewer limitations in the placement of clasps, and they are less likely to be seen than the wrought wire clasps of the conventional treatment partial denture. Modern frameworks are cast from an extremely strong alloy called chrome cobalt which can be cast very thin and are much less likely to break than the all plastic variety. They are also much less noticeable to the tongue.

• Teeth whitening or teeth bleaching can be defined as the whitening or lightening of a single tooth or multiple teeth through the application of chemical agents. Teeth whitening is the most commonly requested cosmetic dentistry procedure, and is one of the most straightforward ways to give you a whiter and brighter smile. Teeth bleaching can be achieved by your dentist or dental hygienist. When full arch bleaching is requested, the dentist or dental hygienist can offer two choices: take-home or in-office.

• Take home bleaching is more common, and usually more affordable. In this case, the dentist will take impressions (molds) of each arch, pour stone models of the teeth, and make custom trays for the patient to wear. These custom trays are made from a clear, soft material, and they serve to hold the bleaching gel on the teeth. This optimizes treatment by keeping the bleaching material on the teeth and away from the gums, thus reducing irritation.

• A filling is the name of a dental procedure in which a material such as silver amalgam or a composite (white) filling is used to treat a decayed tooth. This material is inserted into the tooth where it then prevents the further spread of decay or repairs any damage.
• This treatment stops the decay from spreading into the root where it will cause a serious infection, e.g. an abscess. This also removes the need for a tooth extraction.

• Dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from the mouth. There are many reasons for taking tooth extraction treatment such as tooth decay that has destroyed enough tooth structure where restoration is impossible. Extractions of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth are routinely performed in our clinic. We provide extraction treatment of some permanent teeth to make space for orthodontic treatment. If your teeth are getting the following problems, our clinic is the right place to have tooth extraction. Sometimes toothache can be so severe or a tooth so broken down, that you may want just to rush to your dentist and have the tooth extraction process done. Most of the times it is the wisdom teeth that cause problems and so need the removal treatment. Sometimes the wisdom teeth can be pulled by the dentists, although in most cases they need to be cut out by a qualified dental surgeon. When the time comes to have your wisdom teeth extracted, you'll need to go to an dental surgeon and have a consultation first. During your consultation from the dental clinic, your dentist takes a few x-rays that will let the surgeon know how bad your wisdom teeth are. The surgeon will go over the result process, take a look at your teeth, and then tell treatment options you have. If he is going for a process like removal treatment for your teeth, you'll have the option of using local anesthesia or going with IV sedation. A removal treatment with IV sedation is the preferred way to have wisdom teeth extracted, as you'll be so relaxed you won't know how the whole teeth extraction process is going on. If you decide to just use local anesthesia, which is numbing, you'll be fully aware of the extraction procedure

Dental scaling is the most common nonsurgical way to treat gum disease, which is also known as periodontitis. If your disease is moderate, but not severe, your dentist may recommend scaling to treat the disease and keep it from getting worse. But if you have severe periodontal disease and your condition may require gum surgery, your dentist and periodontist may recommend a scaling and root planing before the surgery, as well as a thorough teeth-cleaning prior to the procedure.

The sticky, bacteria-filled plaque that causes gum disease tends to accumulate in the area along and just below the gum line. If you have gums that are slightly receded from your teeth, you may be at increased risk for gum disease and your dentist may recommend scaling. Scaling is nonsurgical, but it is a different type of procedure from a standard dental cleaning because it involves cleaning the areas of the tooth below the gum line.

Dental implants provide a strong foundation for permanent or removable prosthesis (replacement teeth) that are made to match your natural teeth. They are manufactured from biologically neutral pure Titanium or titanium alloys,that is accepted by the human body and these implants fuse with the jawbone to form a secure foundation for tooth replacement.

Dental Implants Work

• Lack of sufficient alveolar bone.
• Uncontrolled type II diabetes.
• Patients who take intravenous bisphosphonates(for Breast cancer and Osteoporosis).
• Bruxism (tooth clenching or grinding).
