The need to evolve with time is human nature. Similarly, the evolving technology has brought many advances in the field of dentistry. There are few things that you can’t fix with the ever changing technology nowadays. Here are 5 such advances in dentistry that have been introduced in a  dentist’s practice.

The Wand Anesthesia System

The most common reason why people tend to postpone their dental appointments is the fear of being uncomfortable and in pain. The first thing that comes to any patient’s mind before any procedure starts is the injecting of anesthesia which creates problems due to high anxiety in the patient. The Wand System enables the doctor to deliver an anesthesia in the mouth without a syringe.

Advantages:

• A computer controlled release of the anesthesia which freezes the affected area of the mouth.
• Don’t have to worry about your entire mouth going numb since it only numbs the area around the tooth that the procedure is being performed on.
• Make you feel more relaxed and comfortable getting a dental procedure done.
• You don’t have to worry about eating,drinking or slurring after the procedure is complete.

3D Dental Images via The Complete Cloud™

This 3D cone imaging support is a system that helps you access all records and images from anywhere in the world. It also helps the doctor detect more issues like tumours, length of roots, planning the course of action for the impacted teeth and much more. Doctors can be sitting at home and they will still be able to view your records.

Advantages:

• It helps you access all information from anywhere in the world.
• It cuts down on the cost of hardware and supplies like hard disks
• In case of emergencies, a doctor can give the patient a consultation even if they are off premises by viewing the patient’s records regardless of his/her location.
• Providing more complex information about the patient’s dental health, it helps build trust between the doctor and the patient.

Teledentistry

Teledentistry was earlier used when a general dentist would have to call a specialist for a major problem while performing a procedure. Developing with time teledentistry now can be used by patients to consult a doctor virtually or through a telephone which takes dental consultations to a new level.

     Advantages:

• It reduces the cost and effort of going for a dental consultation that costs relatively much more in dental offices.
• Patients don’t have to worry about not having a dental insurance to pay their bills.
• It greatly benefits people that have a problem commuting to dental offices or living in rural areas amongst places like nursing homes or senior homes.
• It helps you consult top dental doctors from anywhere you are for the best care.

Lasers

Lasers have made getting many procedures done extremely simple having multiple applications. A laser can be used to reduce sensitivity  or pain in some cases, reducing swelling and bleeding. It can be used to detect and remove bacteria, reshape your teeth, for whitening your teeth or taking a small piece out for biopsy purposes.

Advantages:

• It reduces anxiety in the patient to get a procedure by reducing pain
• It is extremely time saving and accurate both for the patient and the doctor

Computer-assisted technology

Computer technology has reached far in every field including the field of dentistry. The CAD/CAM technology i.e. Computer-assisted design (CAD) and computer-assisted manufacture (CAM) technology is used in making dental restorations from veneers, crowns, fixed partial dentures to even full-mouth reconstruction.

Advantages:

• A process that traditionally took weeks, can now be done in an hour or two.
• Due to the scanning the digitally carving of the dental restorations there is a low to no chance or error.
• Since the entire process is performed in a single go there is no need for a temporary restoration.
• It may cost you slightly more for a long appointment but it cuts the outsourcing charges.

Going to the dentist to get any procedure done can be scary. People usually associate procedures like Root Canal to pain instantly making them hesitant to go forward with the process. Thankfully the truth about it is rather less gory and comparatively quick. Here’s what you need to know.

What is a Root Canal?

The purpose of a root canal is to remove the infected tissue in your tooth and fill it up without having to extract the tooth completely. Against popular belief this treatment is fairly painless and better than removing your tooth completely. It is usually performed on cracked teeth, repeated dental treatment on the tooth or teeth cavities.

What is the process involved?

 You should be prepared and well informed when it comes to any dental procedure. It will not only make the process clear to you but also ease your mind especially when it comes to some scary sounding procedure like a root canal treatment. The process of getting a root canal is as follows:

• X-ray –  The dentist will take X-rays to show where the decay is located. This helps determine whether you need a root canal or not.
• Anesthesia – The affected tooth is given a local anesthesia to make the region numb.

• Isolation of affected tooth – To keep the affected area clear of saliva, a dental dam is placed around the tooth.

• Pulpectomy – Pulp or pulp chamber is the soft area within the root canal. An opening is made and the diseased pulp is removed.

• Cleaning and Shaping – The opening of the root is cleaned and shaped so start the filling process.

• Filling – the roots that have been opened are filled with gutta-percha material and sealed off with cement.

Why is it important to get a root canal?

Apart from the obvious reason of relieving your tooth pain there are other factors involved as to why you should get the procedure done like:

• The swelling in your tooth can spread to other parts like your neck, ears, face and head.
• A hole can occur through the side of the tooth with drainage into the gums or through the cheek and into the skin
• You can experience bone loss around the root of your affected tooth

What Should One Expect After the Root Canal?

Your tooth can be hypersensitive for a while depending on how infected your tooth had become. Extra care should be taken like brushing 2-3 times and regular flossing. The pain or sensitivity can be controlled with over the counter painkillers.

There is a general misconception that the process of getting a root canal treatment is painful whereas with all the advances in technology and anesthetics getting a root canal merely feels slightly uncomfortable just like getting a filling.

Technology always keeps evolving with the purpose of making our work more efficient and easy. The CAD/CAM Technology has been evolving through the years to a point where you can create dental restorations from veneers, crowns, fixed partial dentures to even full-mouth reconstruction.

What is CAD/CAM Technology?

‘Computer Aided Design /Computer Aided Manufacturing’ Dentistry is a field in dentistry and prosthodontics that uses CAD/CAM technology to further improve aesthetic design and creation of dental restorations as compared to the traditional ways of orthodontics. This technology has helped increased the speed of design and creation, the convenience and simplicity and made restoration of teeth a much more streamlined, painless and efficient process.

This software allows the dentist to perform complex procedures accurately, easily and faster. It constructs restorations, like crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays and bridges, from a single block of ceramics. This makes the final product more specific to the requirement.

How CAD/CAM technology works?

Due to this  technology being  available it allows dentists to scan the patient’s teeth and create dental restorations for them while they wait. With a variety of technology that is available to dentists they can scan the teeth of the patient and send it to an on-site milling or a 3D printer to be carved out and with the finishing touches it is ready to be fitted into the patient’s mouth.

What is the process of this?

The process involves the following steps:

• Anesthesia- The patient is given anesthesia to numb the mouth for the process.
• Tooth Preparation
• Restoration design- The tooth or teeth is then digitally captured with an optical scanner.
• Milling-The scan is then carved out from a block of porcelain.
• Sintering and Polishing- Finishing touches are given and surface is polished.
• Cementation

Advantages of this technology

A process that traditionally took weeks, can now be done in an hour or two. It is a long appointment but everything from taking measurements to getting the dental restoration fitted will be done in one go and you won’t have to come for a second appointment.

Due to the scanning the digitally carving of the dental restorations there is a low to no chance or error.

Since the entire process is performed in a single go there is no need for a temporary restoration.

It may cost you slightly more for a long appointment but it cuts the outsourcing charges.

The Do’s and Don’ts for your Daily Invisible Aligner Routine

If you are undergoing teeth correction with invisible aligners, you’ve made a pretty big investment in your smile that will change your life. You’ll be advised to wear those aligners pretty much all the time for several months, so here are a few tips to make sure they stay clear, clean and invisible – cleaning a few seconds after each wear ensures your pearly whites continue to shine through.

Remove. Rinse. Repeat

Make sure you rinse your clear aligners thoroughly with cold water after each use. Let’s not dive into the gory details, all we’ll say is: Bacteria? Grime? No thank you. Basic maintenance ensures they’ll look better, last longer, and they’ll feel good too.

Hot Water is not your Friend

Rinsing your aligners in hot water might land you in some hot water. The high heat can damage the plastic and ruin your aligners. If you’ve damaged your clear aligners set up a call with the orthodontist for your replacement today

Brush and Floss Before Use

After you eat, make sure you brush and floss your teeth before putting your invisible aligners back into your mouth. If you don’t, food particles can get trapped between your teeth and gums and the aligners. Sounds gross, right? Just trust us on this one. A clean mouth is a happy mouth.

Gentle Care is the Best for your Clear Aligners

Just brush your clear aligners gently with clear, antibacterial soap, and then wash in cool or very slightly lukewarm water.

Remember, they are aligners  — not your actual teeth! So, don’t use toothpaste or any harsh chemicals to clean them. Toothpaste and chemicals can be abrasive and scratch the plastic resin your aligners are made of. We all know that one of the reasons you got invisible aligners was so that they’d be invisible, and true invisibility means a scratch-free surface!

Instead of toothpaste, consider a clear retainer or denture cleaner.

And though it may seem like a good idea, definitely don’t soak your aligners in mouthwash. Most mouthwashes are coloured blue or green or even purple. These colouring agents can discolour your aligners giving them that same tint that you’ll see in the mouthwash bottle — exactly the effect we’re NOT going for.

Avoid Staining Drinks

Keep your aligners clear by avoiding dark liquids like coffee, tea, some flavoured water, soda and even whiskey while your aligners are in. If you absolutely have to— use a straw. On the upside, you won’t smudge your lipstick, either.

Nobody is perfect, and sometimes we forget. It’s okay! Just remove and wash your aligners after you realize they’re still in. As a general Rule of Thumb – Stick to clear liquids and brush your teeth before using your aligners again.

If you follow these five tips and practice good oral hygiene, you will not find yourself wondering on day 11 if that slight yellow tint is bad lighting (it isn’t); you can be confident that your clear aligner trays will stay invisible and clean throughout your smile journey!

Got any tips you’d like to share about your process of cleaning and caring for your clear aligners? We’d love to hear in the comments!

Did you know that your teeth were created to last only about 40-50 years? It’s not as crazy as it sounds, because it wasn’t very long ago that the mortality rate was above 50 years. Today, the average mortality rate surpasses your tooth’s life span by decades!

As you age, you start having to deal with more – and more comprehensive – dental problems from root canals to tooth replacements and bite problems.

What is Full Mouth Reconstruction / Rehabilitation?

Prosthodontic reconstruction of most or all of the teeth. Replacement of missing teeth, or a jaw alignment problem. These can be solved with a combination of techniques such as crowns, and fixed bridges, removable partial dentures, full dentures and implant-supported dentures and sometimes orthodontic treatment (braces) in conjunction with these procedures.. Combining the science of Neuromuscular Dentistry with the art of Cosmetic Dentistry, luckily, a full mouth rehab allows each of these obstacles to be corrected to create a smile that is functional, comfortable and beautiful.

Some common reasons why Full Mouth Rehabilitation may be required are:

• Missing Teeth due to decay or trauma
• Chipped, Injured or Fractured Teeth
• Decaying or Worn out Teeth as a result of long-term acid erosion (food, beverages, acid reflux) or tooth grinding
• Ongoing complaints of headaches, muscle and jaw pain needing adjustments to the bite (occlusion)
• Multiple Dental Difficulties
• Multiple missing teeth

What Is The Process Like?

A dental practitioner will not promise to improve your dental health in one appointment. There are various procedures that are a part of a full mouth rehabilitation. This is how the procedure normally works:

First, your dentist will investigate your present jaw and dental health. X-rays and lab diagnostics will help determine where what needs to be treated, and how every tooth is currently set in your mouth.

This will most likely take one full appointment, and it may be a couple of days or a week before your doctor shares with you the best course of action for your full mouth restoration.

Depending on your dental issues, your dental practitioner may come up with a suitable treatment plan for you and help to re frame your bite. However, if they discover that your mouth can be restored through individual tooth restoration alone, your dental specialist will begin those procedures on your second visit.

All of the current Crowns, bridges and other dental work will be removed so the Dentist has a clean slate to treat your full smiles with new restorations. Either a full mouth scan will be taken or in some cases impressions will be made with the goal that every individual tooth can get the work that it needs. If required, you may be given temporary restorations while the scan / impressions will be used to make your permanent restorations.

Once your basic health of teeth has been restored, the new restorations will be put in, using specific dental procedures based on what is best for your mouth.

Things to Consider

Full mouth rehabilitation is a comparatively quick way to fix your entire mouth and enjoy a healthy smile for many years to come. It’s important to consider these aspects, before you make your appointment:

Cost: A Full mouth rehabilitation involves a lot of individual restorations, and each of those restorations will add up. Though full mouth rehabilitation can be expensive, it would really increase the life span of your present natural dentition and you would enjoy eating with your natural teeth for really long time. Also if you have multiple teeth problems then you might eventually loose you natural teeth and probably pay the same amount of money or even more for artificial teeth.

The Costs also differ as per the requirements of the patient. We, at Creative Smiles, will work with you to help you understand the costs of various procedures and fit them with your budget. There are a lot of varieties of treatment options available with us, so that we can design a specific treatment plan to suit your needs as well as your budget. Many payment options are available to ensure that your rehab goes smoothly with a happy recovery.

Each case is unique and requires a comprehensive plan. Not all dentists can undertake a full mouth rehab, so make sure to do your homework and find the right dentist for your specific needs. A Full mouth rehabilitation may involve

• General or Restorative Dentists (performing procedures like crowns, bridges and veneers),
• Dental Specialists like Periodontists (specialising in the gums),
• Oral Surgeons,
• Orthodontists (specialising in tooth movements and positions) and
• Endodontists (specialising in the tooth pulp)

If you have more than four decayed / bad teeth or multiple  missing teeth, full mouth rehabilitation may seem like the best option. However, differing from person to person it may vary. Full mouth rehabilitation works best to conserve your natural dentition. Also lot of options available to get completely fixed teeth in case you have no natural teeth left in your mouth and you dont wish to go for removable dentures.

On the other hand, if only a few scattered teeth are affecting your bite, it may be easier to isolate those few teeth and get implants or bridges. To put it simply, a complete overhaul may not be necessary if most of your teeth are healthy and strong.

Dental braces or braces/cases are devices used in orthodontics ( a branch of dentistry that deals with diagnosis, prevention, and correction of malpositioned teeth and jaws) that realign and straighten with an improvement in overall dental health. They’re usually used to treat underbites, overbites, open bites, deep, and crossbites. There are several types of dental braces like Traditional Metal Wired, Gold Plated Stainless Steel, Lingual, Titanium, Invisible(clear) Aligners. 

Clear aligners or as they’re popularly known invisible aligners are transparent orthodontic devices that are used to adjust teeth.

History:
The first offshoot of clear aligners appeared In 1945 as H.D. Kesling’s ‘tooth positioner’, made out of rubber it looked similar to a sports mouth guard. In the 1960s one-piece plastic splints were used to stabilize teeth, in the 80s Mr. Yoshii of Japan introduced elastic devices made from flexible silicone. In the 1990s, new aligner systems were introduced, ‘Invisalign’ was one of these released in the US in 1997. This was a revolutionary movement for dentistry around the world. For the first time, a computer-aided model for the desired results could be produced from a single impression of the teeth. These models were then used to manufacture a large series of aligners for a patient without the need for new impressions.

How it Works:

The dentist will first take a mold of the patient’s teeth, this mold is then used to create a digital tooth scan. The computer software will then suggest the alignment measurements and stages between the current and desired teeth positions. This leads to the creation of aligners for each stage. Each aligner can be worn up to 20 hours a day for 2 weeks. Over time the teeth will slowly move into the desired position at different stages in different time frames.

Advantages:

Instead of being worn on the front of your teeth, these are placed in the back of your teeth, so they’re not visible.

100% customizable to allow to follow the contour of your teeth.

The customization of the ibraces means that they require lesser adjustment than tradition braces and lesser visits to the dentist

It serves as a feel-good factor for people who have issues with the aesthetics of traditional braces.

Invisible aligners or Clear Aligners are a very welcome revolution in dentistry the world over, the future of orthodontics is going to be shaped by the further advancement of tools and techniques of invisible aligners. We have over 36 years of excellence in dentistry. To know more visit us at http://www.creativesmiles.in/ or call us on 022 25343344/ 022 25330011

According to Wiki, “Orthodontia, also called orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics is a vertical of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of malpositioned teeth and jaws.”

Orthodontic treatment usually focuses on dental displacement, it can also deal with the modification of facial growth in which case it’s called “dentofacial orthopedics”. Orthodontic treatment can be carried out for medical reasons as well as purely aesthetic reasons-improving the general appearance of patients. The following are just some of the conditions that can be treated through orthodontics.

>OverCrowding / overlaping of teeth
>Misaligned teeth
>Rotated teeth
>Protruding teeth / jaws
>Deep bite / open bite

There is no age restriction when it comes to orthodontic treatment. However, age does come into consideration when it comes to convenience, time-taken and the ease of the procedure. At certain ages, there are certain susceptibilities that might allow for the procedures to be easy or difficult depending on the individual and their growth patterns. These are a few age stages where you may impart orthodontic treatments.

Early Intervention
The perfect age for a patient’s first orthodontic counsel is at age 7. At this age, we can evaluate the example of ejection of the permanent teeth, the advancement of the jaws, decide when to start orthodontic care. Most orthodontic treatment isn’t intensive at this early age, yet certain malocclusions can be caught and treated what does steroids do early. A part of the malocclusions that profit by early treatment is: back crossbite (lower teeth overlapping the uppers), front crossbite (lower teeth overlapping the uppers), highly protruding upper teeth/ jaw, and open bites because of thumb sucking habits.

Adolescent Treatment
Most orthodontic issues are ideally treated after the age of 11. Generally, all or most permanent teeth are erupted by then and patients teeth are at one of their most dynamic periods of development. They have most or a majority of their permanent teeth and simultaneously, the patient is still developing and permanent teeth are still in the process of eruption. This encourages the rectification of malocclusions and abbreviates treatment time.

Adult Treatment
Our logic is that: “It is never past the point where it is possible to improve dental health”. With the advancement of aesthetic braces, more adults and senior citizens are looking for orthodontic consideration. As long as the bone and gum tissue are sound teeth can be adjusted and a lovely smile can be accomplished.

 Due to the advent of the latest cutting edge technologies, it is possible for adults to easily undergo orthodontic treatments having invisible correcting appliances and with minimal discomfort.  

At ‘Creative Smiles’, our experts have decades of experience in imparting orthodontics treatment to patients of all ages. From young kids, adolescents to senior citizens. Visit us at http://www.creativesmiles.in/ to inquire.

There are a ton of myths about teeth whitening floating around the Internet, and those myths accompany many questions. Is whitening bad for your enamel? Are there regular cures? On the off chance that I need to brighten my teeth, would it be a good idea for me to get it done professionally or at home? Would it be advisable for me to utilize whitening strips or whitening toothpaste? Do they really work? We at Creative Smiles are here to answer your inquiries, and talk about your oral wellbeing!

Teeth Yellowing

If your teeth are losing they pearly white feel and that glossy shine due to reasons like dark drinks, coffee, soda, and tea then this can usually be rectified using through regular brushing using a good toothpaste and regular flossing. If it’s alleviated a bit further and the yellowing is a bit more intense you might have to go for a visit to a dentist.

Cause For Teeth Yellowing

Underneath the outside layer of enamel is a yellowy core called dentin. When your enamel starts wearing off (this can be caused by acidic foods, aging or other reasons) this yellowy layer of dentin starts coming on to the surface which can lead to your teeth looking more yellow in color. Genetics also play a major role in the nature (thickness and thinness ) of your dentin and enamel.

Dental Bleaching OR Teeth Whitening

One of the most economical and effective treatment to have quick and easy smile makeovers. It is a form of dental treatment can be done in the dental clinic or at home. All the staining that has collected on the teeth can be removed in mere hours.

There are two main methods available to get those perfectly white teeth:

1.Professional Teeth Whitening

Having your teeth whitened at the dental practitioner’s gives the most noteworthy quality of whitening to accomplish sheltered, solid bleaching results. The procedure utilizes higher-focus bleaching agents and is managed by the dental specialist.

Diverse application strategies are accessible, and despite the fact that the whitening is done at the dentist’s, and the fact that expense of expert whitening is a little higher than at-home whitening methods, the outcomes last longer and look whiter than at-home procedures.

With expert brightening, you can expect even, dependable outcomes. Your dental specialist comprehends the significance of guaranteeing that the whitening procedure is protected and the outcome is appropriate for your teeth.

2. At-Home Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening products such as teeth whitening strips, brush-on whiteners are or whitening trays are convenient to use. Even though will cost a little lesser than the whitening done at dentist office, the results will not be as uniform, as good looking or sustainable for long term.

This option has a lower concentration of bleaching agents, so the white shade you can achieve will be lesser than what a dentist can offer you.

Just like our body goes through wear and tear over time, or we get a painful sensation in different parts of our body, our teeth go through the same situation. They need to be taken care of or else they can develop cracks, or worse you can start losing teeth. Restorative dentistry, as the name speaks for itself, explains how dental professionals help in the restoration of the mouth to a functional state by replacing damaged or missing teeth.

Need for Restorative Dentistry

More than disability to chew, a single damaged tooth can have an emotional and psychological impact on your life. A missing tooth is not a big deal, but when it comes to smiling, yawning, or speaking, there is a moment of realization which makes you feel embarrassed and ultimately leads to low self-esteem. Furthermore, it can lead to other dental problems near the missing tooth site like loss of alignment of neighboring teeth and imbalanced bite on that side.  Restorative dentistry has the solution for all these problems. Therefore, it is important for several reasons as given below:

It helps in restoring your smile, and hence self-confidence

It fills up empty spaces in your mouth to keep the teeth perfectly aligned

It restores your ability to chew certain food items without thinking twice

It doesn’t hinder your ability to speak

It stops further dental problems like imbalanced bite and drifting of neighboring teeth into the space of missing tooth leading to a number of problems stops further dental problems from happening by solving the prevailing problem.

It helps with your overall oral health, facial appearance, speech and self-esteem

Different Tooth Restoration Options

Most of the dentists involved in restorative dentistry try to preserve your natural teeth if possible before resorting to other options. One of the most common ways to treat a cavity is to remove decay and fill the tooth with one of the filling materials like tooth-colored composite filling material. But some other options prove to be more beneficial in different cases. The other options include:-

Dental Crowns

A Dental crown also referred to as a dental cap, is shaped similar to a tooth. It is used to cover the tooth to restore its shape, rebuild its strength and improve the overall appearance of the tooth. A crown is fabricated to look identical to the tooth which is being restored. There are many advantages of crown placement, which include:-

It protects the tooth from decaying

It helps in the restoration of damaged teeth

It helps in improving the strength and longevity of tooth

It boosts self-esteem and has other psychological benefits

       Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a prosthesis which is used to replace missing teeth. In other words, it bridges the gap between one or more than one missing teeth. A bridge is made up of a crown on either end which acts as an anchor, also called as abutment teeth, with an artificial tooth connecting the crowns and filling the space in between. It has several benefits such as:-

It helps in maintaining the shape of the face

It helps in biting and chewing properly as missing teeth gets replaced

It makes sure that teeth don’t drift out of its position

Dental Implants

A dental implant with a crown attached can be used for a single tooth replacement. A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, or denture. The dental implants get adhered to the jawbone by a  biologic process called osseointegration. Dental implants are usually made from materials such as titanium. These are few of the many advantages of dental implants.

Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that will replace the jaw bone stimulation, thereby helping to prevent any further bone loss.

Implants when well done remain sturdy and the crowns fitted on the implants help to replicate the look and feel of a natural tooth.

Dental implants are anchored into your jaw with a titanium post. This allows you to bite with almost the same amount of force you could use with your natural teeth.

A gap in your mouth caused by a missing tooth can cause the teeth on either side of the gap to shift positions, leading to misalignment. Dental implants fill the gap, allowing you to maintain a straight, even smile.
