Dental scaling, also known as prophylaxis is the safe removal of plaque and calculus from the teeth and below the gums. When plaque is allowed to remain of the surfaces of the teeth and gum line, it can cause irritation, swelling, and gingivitis.

Scaling effectively removes plaque, bacteria and debris from the areas that your toothbrush and floss aren’t capable of reaching.

Why is Dental cleaning so Important?

Plaque is a naturally occurring substance that exists on the surfaces of the teeth. When plaque combines with bacteria and food debris it hardens to form tartar. The bacteria will make the plaque stick to the teeth and the food particles will cause it to harden. Once formed, plaque and tartar irritate the gums causing them to become inflamed, irritated, and infected with gingivitis.

If left untreated, the gingivitis will become periodontists. The tartar will spread further down below the gum line causing the gums to recede, damaging the supporting bone structure. This will cause the tooth to loosen and may ultimately result in tooth loss. So you see, oral hygiene is not simply what appears on the surface of a smile. You must take equal care of your gums, protecting them from plaque and bacteria just as you would your teeth in order to maintain a healthy radiant smile.

What is a dental implant and what structure do they have?

A dental implant is a very small titanium screw. This serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. A dental implant can be placed anywhere in the oral cavity. Due to the biocompatible properties of titanium, a dental implant fuses with the bone and becomes a good anchor for the replacement tooth. Dental implants can be used for replacing single or multiple missing teeth.

Why dental implants?

If you are wondering if a dental implant is right for you, consider these rationales: Without the root structure of a natural tooth present, the jawbone can shrink. This shrinkage will make your face look older than it is and in time, a missing tooth can affect the entire dentition. Dental implants are stable

Dentures are designed to replace missing one tooth or many teeth, and are worn by millions of canadians. Technological advancements have resulted in dentures that are lightweight and mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. Most dentures are made from a combination of metals and synthetic material such as acrylic resin.

• Dentures are generally classified as partial or full. Partial dentures are designed to replace a small number of teeth, and help prevent existing healthy natural teeth from shifting position; full dentures generally replace the entire set of teeth such as upper and lower dentures.full denture might be on an implant teeth. Many candidates for conventional dentures (also called “immediate” dentures) are able to wear the appliances immediately following removal of removed natural teeth.
• Before immediate dentures are worn, a mold of the patient’s mouth must be made in order for the dentures to be customized for that individual.Partial dentures, also sometimes called “over dentures,” are designed to fit over a small section of natural teeth. Partial dentures are characteristic by their pinkish gum-like plastic bases, on to which replacement teeth are attached. Small metal wire “clasps ” are used to attach the denture to existing teeth. Some clasps, which can be more expensive, are made of natural-looking material that never shows the patient wearing denture.In specific circumstances , a crown will be needed on an existing healthy tooth to facilitate a better hold for the clasp.

Crowns:

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth covering the tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and to improve its appearance. When the crowns are cemented into place it fully encases the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

What is a crown made of?

Permanent crowns can be made from stainless steel, all metal (such as gold or another alloy), porcelain-fused-to-metal, all resin, or all ceramic. Stainless steel crowns are prefabricated crowns that are used on permanent teeth primarily as a temporary measure.

Fillings:

A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. When a dentist gives you a filling, he or she first removes the decayed tooth material, cleans the affected area, and then fills the cleaned out cavity with a filling material.

Porcelain Inlays/ Onlays:

A porcelain inlay/onlay is a custom-made and shaped insert that perfectly fits inside of a prepared tooth. It is securely bonded to prevent further decay and stabilize the surrounding tooth structure, and it looks completely natural.

Porcelain veneers:

Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain used to recreate the natural look of teeth, while also providing strength and resilience comparable to natural tooth enamel. It is often the material of choice for those looking to make slight position alterations, or to change tooth shape, size, and/or color.

Bridges:

A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap. These two or more anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth — and a false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made
