Dental Veneers

A veneer is a thin layer of material placed over a tooth, either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth or to protect a damage to a tooth's surface. There are two main types of material used to fabricate a veneer: composite and dental porcelain. A composite veneer may be directly placed (built-up in the mouth), or indirectly fabricated by a dental technician in a dental laboratory, and later bonded to the tooth, typically using a resin cement such as Panavia. In contrast, a porcelain veneer may only be indirectly fabricated.

Invisalign

Invisalign is one of the popular brands for clear aligners procedures. They are clear and thin plastic-like trays that fit on our teeth. They are usually not permanent and can be put in and removed by the user.  Usually, aligners should be put on all the time except for when having meals or when practising oral hygiene like brushing or flossing.

Dentures (False Teeth / Gigi Palsu)

Dentures are prosthetic devices to replace any missing teeth, fitted on the surrounding soft and hard tissues in your mouth. Dentures can be removable or non-removable.

Diseases and Conditions

  1. Chipped Teeth
  2. Missing Teeth
  3. Teeth Loss
  4. Teeth Replacement

 

Acrylic Dentures - Dentures made of Acrylic plastic to replace any missing teeth, fitted on the surrounding soft and hard tissues in your mouth.

 

Fixed Partial Dentures - A permanently placed denture to replace a few missing teeth partially.

 

Fixed Flexible Dentures - A permanently placed denture to replace a few missing teeth partially, but is almost invisible to the eye as there are no metal clasps.

 

Full Dentures - A permanently placed denture to replace all missing teeth in the whole mouth.

 

Removable Partial Dentures - A removable denture to replace a few missing teeth partially.


Denture

The branch of dentistry concerned with the design, manufacture, and fitting of artificial replacements for teeth and other parts of the mouth.

 

 

Retainers

Retainers avoid teeth from moving back to their original positions after braces or aligners are removed. They prevent movement of teeth until the growth of our gums and skeletal muscles are reorganised following the changes. The frequency of wearing retainers and the length of time needed to keep them on vary, we usually need to wear them for full time for about 6 months, and then only during the night time after that.


Retainer

Orthodontic retainers are custom-made devices, made usually of wires or clear plastic, that hold teeth in position after surgery or any method of realigning teeth. They are most often used before or after dental braces to hold teeth in position while assisting the adjustment of the surrounding gums to changes in the bone. Most patients are required to wear their retainer(s) every night at first, with many also being directed to wear them during the day - at least initially. There are four types of retainers typically prescribed by orthodontists and dentists: Hawley, Essix, Zendura, and Bonded (Fixed) retainers.

 

Clear Aligners (Clear braces)

Unlike conventional braces, aligners are clear and thin plastic-like trays that fit on our teeth. They are usually not permanent and can be put in and removed by the user. Usually, aligners should be put on all the time except for when having meals or when practising oral hygiene like brushing or flossing.

Root canal treatment (Rawatan Akar)

"Root canal therapy is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay,infection or trauma. In order to save the tooth, the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria, and any decay are removed and the resulting space is filled with special, medicated, dental materials, which restore the tooth to its full function. Having a root canal done on a tooth is the treatment of choice to save a tooth that otherwise would die and have to be extracted."


Root Canal Treatment

Endodontic therapy or root canal therapy, colloquially root canal, is a sequence of treatment for the pulp of a tooth which results in the elimination of infection and protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial invasion. This set of procedures is commonly referred to as a "root canal". Root canals and their associated pulp chamber are the physical hollows within a tooth that are naturally inhabited by nerve tissue, blood vessels and other cellular entities. Endodontic therapy involves the removal of these structures, the subsequent shaping, cleaning, and decontamination of the hollows with tiny files and irrigating solutions, and the obturation (filling) of the decontaminated canals with an inert filling such as gutta percha and typically a eugenol-based cement. Epoxy resin, which may or may not contain Bisphenol A is employed to bind gutta percha in some root canal procedures. 

After endodontic surgery the tooth will be "dead", and if an infection is spread at the apex, root end surgery is required. For more info: What is a root canal treatment?

Mouth Guard

A mouthguard is a protective device that covers your teeth and gums to prevent or reduce injury during your activities.

Diseases and Conditions

  1. Teeth Grinding
  2. Sleep Apnea
  3. Temporomandibular Joint Disorder
  4. Sports Related Dental Injuries
  5. Uneven Teeth
  6. Overbite
  7. Underbite
  8. Biting Problems
  9. Crooked Teeth




    Mouth Guard

    There are three types of mouth guards:

    Stock mouth protectors are preformed and come ready to wear. They are inexpensive and can be bought at most sporting good stores and department stores. However, little can be done to adjust their fit, they are bulky, make breathing and talking difficult, and they provide little or no protection. Dentists do not recommend their use.

    Boil and bite mouth protectors also can be bought at many sporting goods stores and may offer a better fit than stock mouth protectors. The "boil and bite" mouth guard is made from thermoplastic material. It is placed in hot water to soften, then placed in the mouth and shaped around the teeth using finger and tongue pressure.

    Custom-fitted mouth protectors are individually designed and made in a dental office or a professional laboratory based on your dentist's instructions. First, your dentist will make an impression of your teeth and a mouth guard is then molded over the model using a special material. Due to the use of the special material and because of the extra time and work involved, this custom-made mouth guard is more expensive than the other types, but it provides the most comfort and protection.

Teeth Braces (Dental Braces)

Teeth braces are devices used in orthodontics and dentistry to align, straighten, and position your teeth to improve dental health, oral aesthetics and any biting or teeth alignment problems. For how long do you need to wear braces for? On average, it takes about 24 months to complete an orthodontic treatment. Some patients require less than 12 months, while some require over 3 years of treatment. It hugely depends on how complex your teeth condition is, and the type of braces you have.

Braces

Dental braces (also known as orthodontic braces, or braces) are devices used in orthodontics that align and straighten teeth and help to position them with regard to a person's bite, while also working to improve dental health. They are often used to correct underbites, as well as malocclusions, overbites, cross bites, open bites, deep bites, crooked teeth, and various other flaws of the teeth and jaw. Braces can be either cosmetic or structural. Dental braces are often used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances to help widen the palate or jaws and to otherwise assist in shaping the teeth and jaws.

Teeth Crown (Dental Crown)

Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth's function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth. Crowns are also used to attach bridges, cover implants, prevent a cracked tooth from becoming worse.Crowns also serve an aesthetic use, and are applied when a discolored or stained tooth needs to be restored to its natural appearance.

Diseases and Conditions

  1. Cavities (Tooth Decay)
  2. Enamel Erosion
  3. Dental Disease
  4. Tooth Damage
  5. Hole in Tooth
  6. Broken Tooth (Teeth Break)
  7. Cracked Tooth



    Crown & Bridge

    Porcelain/Steel/Zirconia Crown & Bridge

    A crown is a type of dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. Crowns are often needed when a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth. They are typically bonded to the tooth using a dental cement. Crowns can be made from many materials, which are usually fabricated using indirect methods. Crowns are often used to improve the strength or appearance of teeth. While inarguably beneficial to dental health, the procedure and materials can be relatively expensive.

    The most common method of crowning a tooth involves using a dental impression of a prepared tooth by a dentist to fabricate the crown outside of the mouth. The crown can then be inserted at a subsequent dental appointment. Using this indirect method of tooth restoration allows use of strong restorative materials requiring time consuming fabrication methods requiring intense heat, such as casting metal or firing porcelain which would not be possible to complete inside the mouth. Because of the expansion properties, the relatively similar material costs, and the aesthetic benefits, many patients choose to have their crown fabricated with gold.

    As new technology and materials science has evolved, computers are increasingly becoming a part of crown and bridge fabrication, such as in CAD/CAM Dentistry.

Self-ligating braces

Self-ligating braces are fitted in like conventional metal braces, but without elastic rubber bands or metal ties. Clips or brackets are instead used to attach the wires so that they can move naturally with the teeth as they realign, resulting in a more comfortable, better looking treatment.
