Preventive care
A healthy smile is achieved and maintained through both preventive care and early detection and treatment of problems that do occur. Here at Bearable Dentistry preventative care is always the most important service we offer for any patient.
X-rays are an essential part of maintaining good oral health and an important tool to help diagnose, detect disease and damage not clinically visible during a routine dental exam.
A healthy smile means no pain ,no infection, no decay, no fractures, no cracks, no gum disease, no missing teeth and perfectly white shaped teeth for proper mouth function.
The key to a healthy smile is preventive care.
Regular checkups, every 6 months ( or more often if recommended to catch any problem early), allow us to detect and treat issues before they become a problem.
Whether it is an elective or treatment procedure, we will make sure your smile is healthy and beautiful!
DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental Implants
Dental implants are an ideal solution for missing or extracted teeth .
They are better than other alternatives like bridges because no additional teeth need to be altered to place a new tooth.
A dental implant is a metal post placed and mechanically anchored into the jaw bone. Once anchored (osseointegrate 4-6 months) to the jaw bone, an abutment is placed on top of the implant. The abutment serves as the base for your new tooth. An impression/digital impression is taken after 2-3 weeks for new restoration/appliance (crown, bridge , denture) and the process is completed.
ROOT CANALS
ROOT CANALS
Root canal (root canal therapy) is a dental procedure in which diseased tissue from inside your teeth is removed, cleaned , disinfected and filled with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. Years ago, diseased or injured teeth frequently were extracted, but today, even if the pulp in one of your teeth becomes injured or infected, the tooth often can be saved through a root canal.
Inside of our teeth there is a pulp chamber that contains blood vessels and nerves. When the pulp is diseased or injured and unable to repair itself, becomes infected. The most common causes of the pulp dying are a deep cavity requiring large fillings, old fillings with or without secondary decay, a traumatic injuries to the tooth damaged by bruxism (clenching, grinding or gnashing) , a cracked tooth, or the pulp becomes exposed due to tooth fracture into the chamber all of which may allow bacteria and their products to enter into the pulp.
If the diseased pulp is not removed, the tissues surrounding the root of the tooth can become infected, resulting in pain and swelling. Even if there is not pain, certain substances released by bacteria can damage the bone that anchors the tooth in the jaw. Left untreated, the infection can spread to the jaw and throughout the face and body, resulting in systemic infection, and the tooth may be extracted.
When a tooth is removed and not replaced, the nearest teeth may begin to shift from their normal position and become crooked or crowded ;these teeth are more likely to have gum disease because they are harder to keep clean than straight teeth.
Root canal therapy is an effective, quick way to preserve your tooth in your jaw and the appearance of your smile.
After root canal therapy, the tooth will need final restoration. Typically, a porcelain or gold crown, is used to restore the tooth back to its shape and function.
DENTURES
Dentures are prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and can be either complete or partial. Complete dentures are used when all teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.
Dentures can help restore the ability to chew and speak, improve facial aesthetics, and enhance self-confidence.
Full DENTURES
- Conventional Dentures: Made after teeth are removed and gums have healed (8–12 weeks).
- Immediate Dentures: Inserted right after tooth removal; may need relining or replacement later.
PARTIAL DENTURES
* Removable Partial Dentures (RPD): Typically metal framework with acrylic base; attach to natural teeth with clasps.
- Flexible Partial Dentures: Made from a softer plastic (like Valplast); more comfortable and aesthetic.
- Cast Metal Partial Dentures: Durable and precise, often preferred for long-term use.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Provide a stable denture by anchoring it to dental implants placed in the jawbone.
- Fixed Implant Dentures: Permanently attached; not removable by the patient.
- Removable Implant Dentures (Overdentures): Snap onto implants; can be taken out for cleaning.
