Jaw Muscle & Joint Conditions
The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. If it becomes damaged it can cause temporomandibular disorder (TMD) which can be caused by stress or teeth grinding.
Gingivitis Treatments
Gingivitis occurs when specific bacteria and toxins produced from plaque irritate and inflame the gums surrounding your teeth. Thus, to properly treat gingivitis, a dentist will provide a thorough cleaning of your teeth, which will involve scaling and root planing to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the surface of your teeth and from under your gumline. This process will also smooth the root surfaces of your teeth and hinder the further build-up of plaque, tartar, and bacteria.
Gum Diseases
Gum disease is an extremely prevalent condition affecting four out of every five adults. It is a serious infection that damages the soft tissues of the mouth. If left untreated, it can lead to periodontitis, which can destroy the bone that supports the teeth. It can also cause teeth to loosen, and even fall out.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are an excellent alternative to dentures and other teeth replacement treatments. Typically, dental implants are titanium fixtures inserted into the jawbone or underneath the gum line, upon which the dentist can apply a fixed bridge, single crown, or cap, and either complete or partial dentures, depending on what the patient’s implant needs dictate.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry involves dental treatments that are implemented to improve the aesthetics of the teeth. Modern cosmetic dentistry helps individuals who are not satisfied with the appearance of their teeth, gums, and overall smile. Common cosmetic dentistry procedures include teeth whitening, veneers, fillings, and dental implants.
