Description: Dental Implants are the perfect solution to replace missing teeth. Form, function, and aesthetics are at the forefront of our dental implant solutions. Single, multiple, or full-mouth dental implants are the best solution to replace damaged or missing teeth with an artificial fixture that looks and feels exactly like a real tooth.

A dental implant is a surgical component that is inserted in the bone of the jaws to support a dental crown, bridge, or denture. It is the ideal way to replace missing teeth. A variable amount of healing time is required for osseointegration, which is the process of the implant integrating with the bone so that it is able to bear the load of chewing. In the presence of healthy tissues, a well-osseointegrated implant with appropriate biomechanical loads can have a very good long-term success rate. Successfully replacing teeth using implants is an extremely 'technique-sensitive' process that requires great expertise.

Teeth that have decay need to be restored to their original health as soon as possible so that the decay does not grow into the nerve spaces in the centre of the teeth. Visit your dentist if you have a sensitive tooth, if you see dark brown/black spots, or in case of food getting stuck in a particular space. These could be signs of the cavity.

Composite resin fillings can perfectly match the colour of your tooth giving a natural look. Hence they are the best filling material where aesthetics are a concern. Since they flawlessly match the shade of your natural teeth, they are also called ‘white or tooth coloured fillings’. Made from a combination of plastic resin, fine glass and other materials, this filling material bonds directly to the tooth structure and so requires less removal of healthy tooth structure. Apart from cosmetic areas, it can be used to restore cavities that are small to medium in size in areas of mouth where moderate chewing forces are required. Composite resins tend to stain from tea, coffee or tobacco and are more prone to chip. Generally, composite dental fillings cost more than conventional fillings.

What Is a Root Canal Treatment?
Root Canal Treatment is one of the most common dental procedures performed to treat a severely decayed or damaged tooth. The intention is to save the tooth.

A root canal is a dental procedure designed to treat and save a severely damaged or infected tooth. Inside each tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay or trauma, a root canal is performed. During the procedure, the dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and then seals it to prevent further infection. This helps alleviate root canal pain, save the natural tooth, and restore its function, contributing to the long-term oral health and wellness of the patient.

Why You May Need a Root Canal?
It is important to recognize the symptoms that may indicate the need for a root canal in order to give treatment on time before it worsens.

• Persistent and Severe Toothache: Continuous and severe tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure to the affected tooth.
• Temperature Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, even after the removal of the stimulus.
• Swelling and Tenderness in Gums: Infection in the pulp can lead to swelling in the surrounding gums.
• Dental Abscess: A visible pimple-like bump on the gums, known as a dental abscess, is a clear sign of infection.
• Discolouration of the Tooth: Darkening or greying of a tooth can indicate pulp infection or death.
• Lasting Pain After Dental Procedures: Persistent pain after dental procedures may signal complications involving the pulp.
• Swelling of the Face or Jaw: Advanced infection in the pulp can lead to swelling of the face or jaw.
• Localized Pain While Biting or Touching the Tooth: Pain specifically localized to the affected tooth when biting or touching it.
• Radiating Pain to Ear or Jaw: Pain from an infected or damaged tooth pulp may radiate to the ear or jaw.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

• Pain Relief: Effectively reduces severe pain associated with infected or damaged pulp.
• Preservation of Natural Tooth: Allows for the preservation of the natural tooth, maintaining oral function and aesthetics.
• Prevention of Infection Spread: Prevents the spread of infection to surrounding tissues.
• Functional Restoration: Fully restores the functionality of the treated tooth with a crown or other restoration.
• Cosmetic Improvement: Enhances the overall appearance of your smile with a natural-looking restoration.
• Long-Term Oral Health: Contributes to long-term oral health by preserving the natural tooth and preventing the need for extraction.

Missing and damaged teeth are unattractive and cause problems in chewing food and speaking. At Signature Smiles, we can help you replace missing teeth in many ways; dental crowns and bridges are among them.

A dental crown is a cap that covers the damaged tooth. It protects, covers and restores the shape of your teeth. Crowns are generally made of metal, porcelain, resin or ceramics. Whether it is the front teeth or the back, a non-differentiable transition is what you should aim for, for a seamless smile. Several factors determine the type of crown such as durability, strength, aesthetics and price.

Dental Bridge covers or bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It takes support from existing teeth or implants to replace a section of missing teeth. A dental bridge helps to prevent the remaining teeth from moving out of place. Once the bridge is placed, it works just like your natural teeth. It helps with chewing, speaking, and maintaining the shape of your face. It is durable and strong because it is anchored to your teeth.

Dental Crown/Caps and Bridges are needed for the following reasons:

• Protect a decayed or cracked tooth
• Cover a severely discoloured or worn-down tooth
• Over a dental implant
• Following Root Canal Treatment
• Make a cosmetic modification
• Cover a large filling where not enough tooth structure is remaining

Crowns and bridges are made using the latest CAD/CAM (Computerized) technology from the best materials of world-class quality like Zirconia, e. max, Lava, Bruxzir, Tilite, Ultra T and Porcelain fused to metal (PFM).

Crowns and Bridges are custom-made and aesthetically pleasing to blend in with your natural teeth. Our crown and bridge specialists ensure they provide the best cosmetically pleasing, long-lasting and affordable treatment.

A dental bridge is one option for replacing one or more lost teeth. Bridges, as their name suggests BRIDGE, the space left between two teeth after one was knocked out or pulled. This space was produced when the tooth in question was lost. A bridge is a type of fixed partial denture. This means that it is attached to the teeth, replaces parts of the teeth, and employs a synthetic tooth or teeth (denture) in the space where there should be natural teeth.

Description: Braces are dental tools that help correct problems like crowding, crooked teeth, or teeth that are out of alignment. In the past, teenagers would commonly get them, but with advancements in technology, adults get them at any age with fabulous results. Braces slowly straighten and align your teeth so you have a normal bite and a beautiful smile.

These can either be Metal or Ceramic. They have been the mainstay of Orthodontics for many years and give consistent results so long as good care is taken of them.

DENTURES
A healthy and confident smile is an essential part of your personality. If you have missing or badly broken down teeth, then dentures can be a way of replacing them. If these are not replaced on time, it can lead to various oral health issues like shifting of adjacent teeth, bone loss, bite problems, and compromised oral function and aesthetics. So, it is essential to replace missing teeth. A great alternative to missing and damaged teeth is dentures. These are removable and natural-looking replacements that can last for a long time and restore function and aesthetics to your mouth.

Why Are Dentures Necessary?

Patients who have missing teeth or decayed teeth that can’t be saved should replace them on time. Not doing so can lead to severe consequences. Firstly, the teeth adjacent to the space will slowly shift or tilt into the gap left by the missing tooth, leading to bite problems and misalignment. Secondly, the jawbone in the area of the missing tooth can start to wear off, causing bone loss, bite problems, and changes in how the person looks. In addition, the adjacent teeth can start to suffer from wear and tear because of increased pressure on them while chewing or biting. Overall, damage will be caused to the oral function and aesthetics.

What Benefits Do Dentures Offer?

• Restores and improves the appearance of your natural smile.
• Gives you the confidence to smile and enhances your facial appearance.
• Helps you speak clearly and gives you the ability to eat all kinds of foods comfortably.
• Gives support to facial muscles and helps maintain facial structure.
• Lowers the risk of jaw discomfort and pain.
• Enhances overall quality of life by restoring oral function, aesthetics, and self-esteem.

What Do We Provide?

Complete Dentures:
Complete dentures are made when all of the natural teeth are missing or removed. Conventional complete dentures are given after the gum tissues have healed, which can take a few weeks. Immediate complete dentures are made in advance and placed as soon as the teeth are removed. As the bones and gums shrink during the healing period after tooth extraction, they need frequent adjustments. Usually, a complete denture takes a minimum of 5 – 7 visits.

Partial Dentures:
Partial dentures are made when a few teeth are missing. They are attached to your natural teeth. They are a removable alternative to the fixed bridges. We also offer Flexible Partials, which are strong yet flexible, light in weight and comfortable.

Implant-supported Dentures:
With advances in dentistry, it is possible to integrate dental implants with dentures. We can provide you with a denture that is supported by implants placed in the jaw bone. These dentures are more effective and attractive as they stay in place, do not slip, and are removable.

However, did you know that it is not possible to get rid of plaque and tartar from every nook and cranny of your teeth? Since there is a connection between your dental and overall health, caring for your teeth and gums is all the more important.

We recommend professional dental cleaning to ensure that your teeth and gums stay in perfect condition. This will give you the healthy and beautiful smile you have dreamed of. A professional dental cleaning thoroughly removes plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth.

Benefits of Professional Dental Cleaning

• Removes Plaque: Plaque is typically a colourless to whitish, soft and sticky layer that constantly forms on teeth. It is made up of billions of bacteria and can cause gum disease and cavities. Even with meticulous brushing and flossing at home, there can be some amount of plaque and bacteria left behind, which can only be removed by professional dental cleaning.
• Removes Tartar: Plaque that is not removed from teeth combines with minerals from saliva to form a hard substance called tartar. Unlike plaque, tartar cannot be removed through brushing and flossing, and special dental instruments are needed to get rid of it.
• A Brighter Smile: Teeth polishing during dental cleaning effectively removes stains to give you a bright smile.
• Fresh Breath: Dental cleaning is effective in getting rid of bad breath caused by bacteria in the mouth.
• Early Identification of Dental Problems: During teeth cleaning, the dentist can detect early signs of gum disease and cavities hidden beneath the plaque and tartar.

Simple Extractions:
Most teeth visible in the mouth can be removed by simple extraction. In this procedure, the dentist numbs the area around the tooth with local anaesthesia, loosens it, and carefully removes it. It usually takes a few minutes to complete this treatment.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction:
A major dental milestone that usually takes place between the ages of 17 and 25 is the appearance of your third molars. Historically, these teeth have been called wisdom teeth because they come through at a more mature age. When they come through correctly, healthy wisdom teeth can help you chew but if you have pain, see your dentist immediately. Removal could be advised if the wisdom teeth do not have enough space to grow out or if they cause pain and infections.

Surgical Extractions:
In complex cases, surgical extractions remove the teeth that are not easily accessible. Such teeth that are difficult to remove must be taken out in pieces.

Teeth whitening or teeth bleaching is the process of lightening the colour of human teeth. Teeth become yellowed over time for a number of reasons, and bleaching helps by lightening the intrinsic or extrinsic colour of the tooth enamel. This does not damage the enamel. Some patients can have transient sensitivity which is managed well by desensitizing toothpastes and mouthwashes.

Microscopic intrinsic stains and discolouration present deep within the teeth are responsible for the overall dull or yellowish appearance of your teeth. We professionally remove these stains using a whitening agent. This reacts with the stain-producing substances thereby oxidizing and clearing them completely. We protect your gums and lips with special barriers during the procedure.

Bring back the sparkle in your smile. Transform your dull, stained or yellowish teeth into the perfect set of pearly whites in under an hour.

Description: Full mouth rehabilitation is a highly individualized treatment. It helps to optimize the health of the entire mouth, including the teeth, gums, bite, muscles, and joints.

In many cases, it is necessary to replace or restore multiple or all teeth in the mouth using a combination of dental services. These include Dental Implants (Multiple, All on 4, All on 6, Basal/ Cortical/ Conventional), Crown and Bridge, Dentures, etc.

Oral surgery refers to any surgical procedure performed in or around your mouth and jaw. These are performed by a trained Oral Surgeon. The procedures would include removal of impacted wisdom teeth, gum/bone grafts, sinus lift procedures, tooth implants, maxillofacial surgery, tumor removal, jaw and teeth repair following an injury, among others.

Facial injury repair: Oral surgery is often used to repair fractured jaws and broken facial bones.

Lesion removal and biopsy: Oral surgeons can take a small sample of abnormal growth or tissue and then send it for laboratory testing for identification. Some lesions can be managed medically or can be removed by the oral surgeon.

Cleft lip and cleft palate repair: Cleft lip and cleft palate result when all or portions of the mouth and nasal cavity do not grow together properly during fetal development. The result is a gap in the lip and/or a split or opening in the roof of the mouth. Oral surgeons work as part of a team of health care specialists to correct these problems through a series of treatments and surgical procedures over many years.

Facial infections: Pain and swelling in the face, neck, or jaws may indicate an infection. Infections in this area of the body can sometimes develop into life-threatening emergencies if not treated promptly and effectively. An oral surgeon can assist in diagnosing and treating this problem. Surgical treatment, if needed, may include cutting into and draining the infected area, as well as extracting any teeth that might be involved.

Frenectomy: Frena are small folds (also called “bands”) of tissue located in the mouth: under the tongue, inside the upper lip, inside the lower lip and connecting the cheeks to the gums. A frenectomy is a simple surgical procedure to loosen or release these bands. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMS) typically performs a frenectomy to increase the range of motion of the tongue (removing the lingual frenum) or to close a gap in a patient’s upper front teeth (removing the labial frenum). Frenectomies can be performed via scalpel, electrosurgery or laser surgery.

Alveoloplasty: An alveoloplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes and smoothens out the jaw where a tooth or teeth have been extracted or lost. When a tooth is extracted, the socket (the hole where the tooth was located) heals over the course of several weeks. However, once healed, the area may not be ready for a replacement such as a denture, bridge or implant. The healed area is called an edentulous ridge, and it may be uneven or bumpy, which will not allow for a nice fit of the replacement tooth or teeth. Smoothing out the jawbone prepares the mouth for successful placement of the new, artificial tooth.

The leading cause of gum disease is a lack of oral hygiene. Systematic causes may result in gum disease and vice versa. People with cardiac disease, joint replacements and similar conditions are advised to get regular cleaning done so that there is less chance of bacteria entering their bloodstream through the gums and causing harm.

Gum Depigmentation: Black pigmentation on gums can be removed with Laser, resulting in pink gingiva. The gums could have our body's pigment Melanin as well. This is natural, however, it may seem disturbing to the eyes if the gums are very visible and dark, so depigmentation procedures are recommended.

Crown Lengthening: People having a gummy smile with short crowns are effectively treated by Gingivectomy, which results in lengthening of the crown, resulting in a beautiful smile.

Other treatments offered are Flap Surgery, Bone & Collagen Grafts, Pocket Debridement, etc.
