All You Need To Know About Root Canal Dentists

By Arthur Kezian

The term "root canal" has been known to illicit fear from the bravest of humans. However, modern dental techniques have vastly improved the treatment of root canals. Consequently, your root canal dentist will know how to treat you with the absolute minimum of pain and discomfort.

Why do you need a root canal procedure? Possibly because you have chipped a tooth therefore the tooth has become infected. Perhaps you have lost a filling and the nerve is exposed, then become infected. Decay is another reason to need a root canal dentist, particularly if the decay has gone past the enamel and the underlying dentin and into the sensitive pulp chamber where the tooth root is found.

Abscesses are another reason root canal procedure is necessary. Whichever the reason one needs root canal surgery, you would be wise to find an excellent dental surgery.

The dentist will examine the patient and assess to see if the pulp is infected. This being the case then the pulp must be removed, and the central nerve must be removed along with it. Since the pulp will contain many nerve endings, your root canal dentist will be extremely prudent when removing the pulp from the pulp chamber. Since it is imperative that the patient does not move at all, pain relief is given to ensure that they can keep as still as possible during the procedure.

Once all the pulp and nerve is extracted from the tooth, it is then injected with antibacterial medicine, to prevent further infection. This will need to remain on the tooth for several days; the patient will need to come back to the root canal dentist later, for the remainder of the surgery.

When the dentist has examined the patient at a later date and found that there are no bacteria, the cavity can be filled. This is done with substance with a rubber-like consistency, and followed up with anti-bacterial cement. This prevents any further infection in the tooth.

During the next step your dentist will need to finish off the cosmetic part of the tooth restoration; if it is a back tooth it will probably mean a crown, since the back teeth are used for chewing. Sometimes however, there is not enough of the tooth to support a crown. In this case, posts can be used to support the tooth. Your dentist will be sure to advise you thoroughly. You can be sure that you will be fully advised about a variety of possible finishes to ensure you are completely happy with your teeth.

Are you going to be in agony after your root canal surgery? No. There will be some discomfort for about a week after the surgery is finished. But pain relief is a vital part of root canal surgery and at your dentist you can be sure your dentist will want you to be in as little pain as possible.

If you need any dental treatment, and you want a caring professional service with qualified and experienced dentists then you must visit a root canal dentist.

Dental Veneers - What Do Veneers Do For You?

By Arthur Kezian

We all know that first impressions really do matter, and that everyone reacts efficiently to an attractive look. A nice smile falls into the category of an attractive look, but unfortunately, your teeth are sustainable to getting stained from things like smoking or drinking coffee. Your teeth also change as you age. Thus, a beautiful set of pearly whites will not only create a better look for you, but will also help you look a lot younger. You can ask your dentist about fixing your teeth and one of the more lasting solutions that he/she will suggest is dental veneers.

So what are veneers? They are a thin layer of material (usually porcelain) placed and bonded over the surface of your tooth to either improve the aesthetics of that tooth or fix any damages, fractures, or discolorations.

What does the procedure involve? First, your dentist will remove between 0.5 and 1 mm of enamel from the surface of your tooth. This will enable your veneers to adhere to the tooth completely.

Then, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth using a plastic like material. After this impression is dried and fixed, it is sent to a dental laboratory where your veneers will be made. It is important that the impressions are correct because it allows the laboratory to create an extremely precise model of your teeth. After your impressions are made, your dentist will place temporary veneers onto your teeth until the actual ones are made. 

At the dental laboratory, a greatly complicated set of steps take place to create your veneers as near to perfect as possible. Your dentist will take the time to create coating after coating of porcelain material on your veneers to get the correct appearance. After altering the veneers to their exact measurements and shade, they are sent back to your dentist.

Once the veneers are done, they will be placed onto the surface of your teeth. But, before the veneers are permanently bonded, your dentist will temporarily put the veneers into place checking for their shape and color to make sure everything is just right.

Your dentist will ask you to come into the room and will remove the temporary veneers. The dentist will clean up the area around the veneers and you will be ready for the next step – bonding.

Finally, your fantastic new veneers are placed onto your teeth. They will be altered according to your liking, and any excess concrete will be removed, leaving you with a new and magnificent look.

If you want a truly wonderful look that makes you look excellent, much more youthful, and you want them to last, then you can always look into dental veneers. Practitioners will be able to treat you in a comfortable environment with experienced professionals offering a higher than normal standard of treatment.

Understanding Cosmetic Dental Veneers

One dental cosmetic offering that can be enjoyed is dental veneers. These are usually porcelain laminate veneers to offer the best of aesthetics for that delusive beautiful smile.

Procedure:

Performing a dental veneer procedure is not every dentist’s forte; it is dependent on the skills and experience of a well qualified dentist. The procedure may be simple but great accuracy is desired for the best outcome.

Cosmetic dental veneers require a bit of tooth reduction, barely 0.5 mm. The procedure does not necessarily apply local anesthesia unless the patient is highly sensitive to pain or anxiety. There will be a couple of visits to the dentist for the completion of dental veneers.

Facts:

There are some facts about porcelain veneers. For one, they are an irreversible dental treatment.

It takes about a week for porcelain veneers to be prepared as it is made of strong porcelain laminate. There is no temporary fabrication of tooth restoration as the affected tooth is reduced very little.

It is common to experience sensitivity to cold and hot throughout the procedure as the tooth enamel has been shaved off slightly in preparation of the veneer attachment.

Dental veneers are made of porcelain laminate which are inserted on the affected tooth using a resin that is sensitive to light; hence, it is hardened quickly using white light.

End results:

Once the veneers are set in place, they will be very strong to resist most forces encountered through a normal diet. The crushing strength of porcelain veneers is great but their weakness is its low tensile strength. Hence, it is advisable to avoid actions such as opening nuts, chewing bones or biting into apples. Veneers provide great results for better shaping, coloring and appearance of the teeth for all.

It is important to consider dental veneers if the teeth condition is bad and unsightly. A lot of self confidence can be restored with dental veneers. A person that has undergone such a procedure will achieve much more in life. As top quality porcelain is used in veneers, these will last a lifetime with proper and regular cleaning and visits to the dentist.

Getting the Best Service from an Experienced Endodontist

By Arthur Kezian

Any patient who is having immense tooth pain may be advised to getting a root canal treatment for a badly infected tooth. It could be a tooth with significant decay or enhanced sensitivity which gives rise to intense pain frequently.

A root canal can be used to save most of these teeth by a skilled endodontist. Extraction of the tooth should be the last resort.

Indications

Hence, one should take note of the various indications for a root canal treatment which include spontaneous throbbing or frequent pain while biting, an increased level of sensitivity to cold or hot and severe decay of a tooth.

These indications should lead one to consult an experienced endodontist specialist for further consultation on undergoing a root canal treatment where the infected nerve tissue can be removed. If not, the infected pulp tissue will cause future abscess and more intense pain.

Procedure

A root canal dentist can provide a procedure that is intense as it involves accessing the nerve of the infected tooth. The endodontist would create an opening at the top portion of the infected tooth carefully with a local anesthetic; this is to determine the root canals’ length to remove the infected pulp.

The nerve canal is also reshaped and cleaned thoroughly to be filled with a special material at the second visit of the root canal procedure. Each visit will work on the identified nerves that are in the affected tooth, checking if they are affected and need removing.

The last step in a procedure is to seal the nerve canals with gutta percha which is a plastic material that is sterile to prevent possible infection. The dentist would place a post, core and crown to close up the procedure for a normal form tooth that would provide normal functioning.

Functionality

Many patients shy off from an effective dentist as they believe that the removal of the nerves makes the tooth ‘dead’, but the tooth still receives its blood supply from surrounding tissues which are holding it in its proper place inside the jaw bone.

Although the treated tooth may not be sensitive to hot or cold, it will respond or be functional with biting pressures which allow one to proceed with the normal diets. A proper restoration and after-procedure care will enable the treated tooth to last just as long as the other teeth.
