Are you smiling? Or would you love to smile more? How you smile speaks volumes about how you are feeling. Having a makeover will give you, not only a great smile, but also the confidence you deserve! A smile makeover is the process of creating a better, brighter healthier smile by using one or more dental processes or procedures. Those procedures can include brightening, braces, tooth implants, and repairing chips and cracks or installing tooth veneers. What procedure is necessary depends on your individual needs. We begin by assessing your current smile, take you through a “test drive” if required and then finding out what you’d like your smile to be like when we’re finished. We’ll work with you to create a plan to give you the smile you want at a price you can afford. Some of the processes we use are: Braces You don’t have to walk around for months with metal braces anymore. We now have a nearly invisible brace called Invisalign®. It’s an appliance you wear and remove. It’s custom made for your mouth, is comfortable and eliminates the common problem of metal allergies so many people have. Tooth Veneers Once you lose that bright white surface of the tooth it’s often impossible to restore, unless you have tooth veneers installed. Tooth or dental veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored resin or porcelain. Veneers are designed to cover the front surface of your teeth to improve your appearance. The veneers are permanently bonded to the front of your teeth. Veneers change the color, shape and even the size or length of your teeth, giving you a younger, fresher, better-looking smile.

Replacing lost or missing teeth has substantial benefits for your health and appearance. A complete or full denture replaces the natural teeth and provides support for cheeks and lips. Without this support, sagging facial muscles can make a person appear older and reduce their ability to eat and speak. A denture is an appliance which is worn to replace lost or missing teeth to enable you to enjoy a healthy diet and smile with confidence. A complete or full denture is one that replaces all of the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaws. A partial denture fills in the spaces created by lost or missing teeth and is attached to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices called precision attachments. The base of a denture is called a plate and can be made of either acrylic (plastic) or metal. The teeth are normally made of acrylic and can be made to match your natural teeth. This is especially important in the case of partial dentures.

Broken teeth can be repaired using various cosmetic treatments provided there is no trauma / injury associated or it has been treated earlier. A veneer can make a chipped tooth look intact again. The porcelain covers the whole of the front of the tooth with a thicker section replacing the broken part.

Dental implants offer a permanent solution for your missing teeth. It is essentially a substitute for a natural root and commonly it is screw or cylinder shaped. Each implant is placed into a socket carefully made at the precise location of the intended tooth. Life Benefits of Dental Implants? – When you lose your natural teeth, your jaw bone and surrounding tissues start to resorb and disappear over time. On placing implants in the jaw, remaining bone is stimulated to grow & mesh around the implant, along with tiny blood vessels… – Implants help restore function so you can eat, chew, and bite as before. – Implants are the most natural looking way to replace missing teeth. – Implants can be considered as the “Second Permanent Tooth”. Basal Implants Basal implants are the most advanced implants, successful for any condition of bone. It can be used on patients with any bone density and any bone volume. These implants engage the highly dense cortical bone which has least propensity for resorption. Basal-bone is present in everyone, despite severe bone loss due to gum disease or loss of teeth. As such, they are highly recommended for patients who are in need of bone grafts and sinus lift. There are no absolute contraindications for basal-implants. Successful conditions: less bone volume needing bone grafts and sinus lift less bone density, gum disease and infected teeth, smokers, and regular bone which will eventually shrink with time.

Root canal treatment (also called endodontics) is needed when the blood or nerve supply of the tooth (known as the pulp) is infected through decay or injury. If the pulp becomes infected, the infection may spread through the root canal system of the tooth.Why is root canal treatment needed? This may eventually lead to an abscess. If root canal treatment (RCT) is not carried out, the infection will spread and the tooth may need to be taken out. What does it involve? The aim of the treatment is to remove all infection from the root canal. The root is then cleaned and filled to prevent any further infection. Root canal treatment is a skilled and time-consuming procedure. Most courses of treatment will involve two or more visits to your dentist. At the first appointment, the infected pulp is removed. Any abscesses, which may be present, can also be drained at this time. The root canal is then cleaned and shaped ready for the filling. A temporary filling is put in and the tooth is left to settle. The tooth is checked at a later visit and when all the infection has cleared, the tooth is permanently filled. Does it hurt? No. A local anesthesia is used and it should feel no different to having an ordinary filling done. What will my tooth look like after treatment? In the past, a root filled tooth would often darken after treatment. However, with modern techniques this does not usually happen. If there is any discoloration, there are several treatments available to restore the natural appearance.

Sometimes there may not be room in your mouth for your wisdom teeth and, as they start to come through, they push against the teeth already there or may start to come through at a different angle. When this happens, you might feel some pain or discomfort. In such a situation, we normally take an x-ray of your mouth to see how – or if – your wisdom teeth are coming through. From this, we will be able to make a treatment plan on whether or not to take them out and how easy or difficult it might be. Extractions can also be done under sedation. Extractions Having a tooth out is the same as having an operation and, because of this; you must look after the area to speed healing and to reduce the risk of infection. Here are some pointers: For the first 24 hours, try to avoid eating hot food, don’t smoke, and don’t drink any alcohol and try not to disturb any blood clot which might have formed. Don’t rinse your mouth for 24 hours after extraction. After that, rinse gently with warm salty water – half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of water is enough. Brush your teeth as normal to keep your mouth as clean as possible. There may be some swelling and a bit of discomfort in the first two to three days. take medicines prescribed and visit us for a follow up after 8 days .

Teeth are stained by the foods and drinks we consume. Smoking further stains teeth and the natural bright, white shade becomes darkened. Teeth whitening is a successful and simple method of lightening the color of your teeth. The degree of whiteness achieved will vary from patient to patient and with the type of bleaching process chosen. At Charming Smiles Dental Clinic in Dombivali, we use various methods of teeth Whitening to suit the needs of the patient and also the dental problem faced. Teeth whitening can be prescribed to be done At Home (Tray Whitening) In Office (Barrier Whitening) Internal Whitening (For Discolored Teeth) Home Tray Whitening A whitening gel is placed in a custom-made tray which you can wear whilst asleep or for short periods during the day. Results are normally seen over 2 weeks. This method for whitening teeth uses a ‘tray’. First of all, impressions of the mouth are taken from which a study model is made. This is painted with a special material which increases the thickness of the tooth area. When the tray is prepared, a small pocket is produced. The whitening solution occupies this pocket ensuring that it only comes into contact with the required surfaces and that no damage is done to the soft gums. Internal Whitening There are many reasons for discoloration. Sometimes this is due to a filling showing through the tooth surface. First of all the old amalgam filling is removed. The old root treatment is then sealed and the whitening material inserted. A temporary filling is placed and the whitening is given time to occur. The whitening material is then removed and the filling made permanent. In Office Whitening Your teeth can be lightened immediately using this technique which is conducted in our Dental Practice. Our Office 1-hour power whitening can whiten teeth by up to several shades, brightening your teeth dramatically to its natural shade.

If your front teeth are stained, chipped, or mal-aligned, veneers will give you a good life-like appearance with minimum tooth adjustment. A veneer is a porcelain facing on the front of your teeth usually your top teeth, it is just like a false finger nail. Veneers are made out of porcelain and are used mainly for aesthetic reasons. Veneers make teeth look natural and healthy, and because they are very thin and are held in place by a special strong bond (rather like super-glue) very little preparation of the tooth is needed. Porcelain veneers can improve the color, shape and position of teeth. A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen to give the right color to improve a single discolored or stained tooth or to lighten front teeth (usually the upper ones) generally. Veneers can also be used to close small gaps, when orthodontics (braces) is not suitable.If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others.

A crown is an artificial restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. A crown is sometimes known as a ‘cap’. Crowns are an ideal restoration for teeth that have been broken, or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling. They can be made of porcelain or metal or gold or a combination of these materials. A dental crown could be used for a number of other reasons, for instance here are some of them: you may have large cavities where a crown is advised to provide stability and strength you may have had a root filling which will need a crown to protect it You have had dental implants which need to be covered by a crown Bonded Crowns Unlike the traditional porcelain-metal crowns, we offer you very esthetic, natural looking crowns which are made with newer materials using advanced technology in fabricating the crowns. An important benefit of these crowns is it requires less removal of natural enamel thereby leaving the tooth stronger. These crowns are bonded with the teeth using modern cements which is far superior to traditional cementation of crowns. Crowns for Specific Treatments Post Crowns Sometimes after a root canal treatment is done, the tooth needs a post to provide stability. So the crown needs to be made over this post separately or fused to the post with proper impressions. Dental Implant Crowns Once an Implant has been placed an abutment is fitted to hold the Crown. The abutment and the base of the crown may be metal. However, in certain light, this can make the tooth look dull. An alternative is for the abutment to be made of white material and the Crown made of solid porcelain. This will give a more natural look to the tooth.

Besides having dental implants, there are two main ways to replace missing teeth. The first is with a removable false tooth or teeth – a partial denture. The second is with a fixed bridge. A dental bridge is usually used where there are fewer teeth to replace, or when the missing teeth are only on one side of the mouth. Bridges are usually made of a metal base but can be made of white porcelain or zirconia. You should replace missing teeth for a number of reasons. Your appearance is one reason. Another is that the gap left by a missing tooth can mean greater strain is put on the teeth at either side. A gap can also mean your ‘bite’ is affected, because the teeth next to the space can lean into the gap and alter the way the upper and lower teeth bite together. This can then lead to food getting packed into the gap, which causes both decay and gum disease. Some Of the options of bridges are as follows: Porcelain Fused to metal Bridges – Zirconia bridges Emax bridges CAD CAM monolithic bridges Zircon with layered ceramic Depending on the need and conditions of oral cavity, we offer the best option of bridges to our patients. Adhesive Bridges Bridges can be fixed using Adhesive techniques where metal wings are attached to the main pontic or artificial porcelain tooth. An adhesive bridge is non destructive. A bridge is prepared and ‘stuck’ to the inside of the adjacent teeth. Fibre Bridges Reinforced fibres are used as bridges and the tooth is created on these fibres. For posterior teeth, these can be used if there are fillings needed in the adjacent teeth. Sometimes the most sensitive way to fill a gap is to utilize fillings that already exist in adjacent teeth. These fillings are removed and matching ‘wings’ attached to the bridge which fit into the space
