Services
Following are some of the top-notch services provided by Dentex Dental:
Cleaning and Prevention
- Dental Examination
On the very first visit, patients will be examined with diagnostic x-rays for oral cancer screening and gum disease evaluation. Afterward examination of tooth decay along with the required restorations will be done.
- Dental Cleaning
For the dental cleaning services, they have registered dental hygienists who will make sure that dental cleaning is done professionally. Dental cleaning is done with ultrasonic and hand scaling techniques, using calculus for the removal of plaque and teeth polishing.
- Dental X-Rays
They have a diagnostic X-ray establishment which can substantially detect any cysts, tumors, decay and bone loss. Their X-ray machine is capable enough to even locate the root and tooth position. Apart from this, they have the facility of CT scan and panoramic imaging.
Cosmetic Dentistry
- Composite Fillings
In order to repair a tooth which is affected by fractures, cracks or decays, they have a tooth-colored filling or composite filling. Firstly, the decayed portion of the tooth is removed and that vacant space is then filled with a composite filling.
- Porcelain Crowns
This is basically a covering which is meant to encase the complete surface of the tooth so that tooth can be restored to its original shape and size. Dentex Dental has the facility to provide its customers with the porcelain crowning.
- Porcelain fixed bridges
Anyone with missing teeth can undergo a dental bridging. It is an excellent way to replace missing teeth. In this technique, those two crowns which reside over the anchoring teeth get fixed to the artificial teeth and hence would look like if it’s natural.
- Dentures & Partial Dentures
While bridging is non-removable, a denture is a removable dental appliance which is meant to replace the missing teeth and surrounding tissues. It will also be very closely related to the natural teeth.
- Porcelain Veneers
They are basically durable and custom-made tooth-shaped porcelain which are bonded to the exterior of the teeth to enhance the overall look of the teeth and so does the smile.
- Teeth Whitening
With the teeth whitening, mostly there are implications which can affect the mouth. But, the Dentex Dental teeth whitening mechanism involves a buffer in the gel which protects the tooth enamel from being damaged. It is so protective and effective that one can have his/her teeth whitened in just one visit.
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
- Dental Implants
Dental implantation is the method of getting missed teeth replaced through either fixed or removable dentures. Implantation is the best way to provide dental appliances with the support and stability they want.
- Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth erupt between the age of 17 to 25. For some people its eruption is painless but for some, this eruption is quite painful. This pain is caused because of the inadequate space in the mouth, which does not allow wisdom teeth to erupt properly. If this uncertainty isn’t treated well in time, then it can lead to the infections in the teeth or even tumors.
- Sinus Augmentation
If bone has been lost due to the injury or any periodontal disease, then bone formation can be stimulated by the sinus augmentation. Sinus augmentation can make way for the sinus floor to allow for bone formation. For this purpose, an incision is made which upon sinus augmentation is filled with bone graft material and then closed.
Periodontics
- Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing are done to remove the etiologic agents which have the potential to cause inflammation to the gum tissues and surrounding bone. It is a non-surgical procedure which is done through tartar and dental plaque.
- Gum grafting
Gum grafting is a surgical periodontal procedure which aims to cover the exposed surface of teeth with the grafted oral tissue.
- Soft Tissue Grafting
This treatment is done to provide a remedy to the gum recession. Gum recession is usually caused by periodontal disease, trauma, over-brushing, poor tooth positioning and aging. In this treatment either exposed root is covered or existing gum tissue is thickened enough to halt tissue loss.
- Bone Grafting
The dental process associated with the dental restoration is known as bone grafting. The success of this dental procedure is dependent on the jawbone’s height, depth and width on the implant site.
- Laser-Assisted Periodontal Surgery
In this process, diseased gum is targeted by the laser which then agitates the healthy tissue to get reattached to the bone. This surgery is much safer than traditional surgery because regrowth of connective tissues poses fewer chances of gum diseases.
- Pinhole Surgical Technique PST
This technique employs specialized instruments which are used to make a hole in the gum. These holes are then filled with collagen material to stabilize the area of gum recession. Owing to this simplicity, minimally invasive and suture-free, this method is being applauded all over the world.
- Genetics Test
Through salivary DNA testing, it is now much easier to know the cause of periodontal infection. Reports of this test are not only fundamental in the determination of high risk or low-risk cases but can also reveal information about disease-causing bacteria.
Endodontics
- Root Canal Therapy
This treatment is needed in the conditions when the tooth’s nerve is affected by some infection or decay. In order to save the tooth pulp, any decayed material is removed and the vacant space is then filled with the medicated material which helps the tooth to restore to its full function.
- Root Canal Retreatment
In this procedure, previous crowns and packing materials are removed, root canals are cleansed and then re-crowning and re-packing of the tooth is done. This process is almost like the root canal therapy except for structural removal.
