Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth (crowns). They provide a sturdy and long-lasting foundation for dental restorations and can replace one or multiple missing teeth. After the implant integrates with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant, creating a natural-looking and fully functional tooth replacement. Dental implants restore the appearance, function, and confidence of a complete smile and are considered a highly successful and permanent solution for tooth loss.
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities, with a primary focus on aligning teeth and jaws to improve function, appearance, and overall oral health.
At TLC Dental, the expert dentists will carefully evaluate your dental condition to determine whether you require orthodontic treatment.
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure aimed at saving a severely damaged or infected tooth. During the procedure, the dentist removes the infected or inflamed pulp from the tooth’s inner chambers, disinfects the area, and fills it with a special material. This process eliminates pain, saves the tooth, and restores its function. Usually, a dental crown is placed to protect and strengthen the tooth after the procedure. Root canal treatment prevents the need for tooth extraction and helps maintain a healthy smile.
At TLC Dental, our experienced dentists provide this treatment if required, ensuring you receive high-quality care to preserve your natural teeth and oral health.
Dental crowns are custom-made tooth-shaped caps that are placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their strength, shape, and appearance. They can be made from various materials like porcelain, metal, or a combination. Dental crowns protect and support a tooth that has a large filling, undergone root canal treatment, or suffered significant decay or fracture. The procedure involves reshaping the tooth to accommodate the crown, which is then cemented in place. Crowns improve both the function and aesthetics of the treated tooth, allowing it to blend seamlessly with the rest of the smile.
Dental fluoride treatment is a preventive procedure where a fluoride varnish or gel is applied to the teeth by a dentist or dental hygienist. Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay caused by acids produced by bacteria. The treatment is quick, painless, and usually done during regular dental check-ups. It is especially beneficial for children and adults at high risk of cavities. Fluoride treatments can significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay and promote better oral health.
Dental radiographs, also known as dental X-rays, are diagnostic images used by dentists to assess and monitor oral health. These digital images capture the internal structures of the teeth, bones, and surrounding tissues, providing valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Dental radiographs help detect dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, impacted teeth, and bone abnormalities. They aid in treatment planning and early detection of problems, leading to more effective and timely dental care. Digital dental X-rays release minimal radiation, similar to watching TV for a few hours, ensuring patient safety during the imaging process.
Dental scale and clean, also known as dental cleaning or prophylaxis, is a routine preventive dental procedure performed by a dental hygienist or dentist. During the process, the dental professional removes plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth and gums. Scaling involves scraping off the hardened plaque (tartar) from above and below the gumline, while polishing helps remove surface stains and smooth the teeth. Dental scale and clean help prevent gum disease, cavities, and bad breath, promoting overall oral health and a fresh, clean smile. It is recommended to have this procedure done every six months as part of regular dental check-ups.
At TLC Dental we offer the option of a conventional scale and clean or a scale and clean with AirFlow® technology.
AirFlow® technology is a dental cleaning method offered at TLC Dental. It uses a mixture of water, air, and fine powder to remove plaque, stains, and biofilm from teeth and gums. The AirFlow® device delivers a gentle and effective cleaning action, reaching areas that traditional scaling may miss. It is more comfortable than traditional methods, and the procedure is quicker, making it a popular choice for patients. AirFlow® technology leaves teeth feeling smooth, clean, and visibly brighter, contributing to better oral health and a fresh smile.
A routine dental check-up is a regular preventive dental appointment with a dentist. During this visit, the dentist examines your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, or oral abnormalities. X-rays may be taken to detect hidden problems. The dentist also cleans your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup. The check-up helps identify and address dental problems early, preventing more extensive treatments in the future. Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health and preventing dental issues. It is generally recommended to have a check-up every six months, but the frequency may vary based on individual dental needs.
