Dental Implants in Ahmedabad offer several advantages over removable teeth, such as: The implants look completely natural and are more comfortable than removable teeth. The implants have higher success rates. These implants function similar to original teeth and improve chewing function. Implants also lead to a lower risk of cavity formation in surrounding teeth. These lead to better maintenance of bone at the site of the lost tooth. These also lead to decreased sensitivity in the surrounding teeth. Unlike removable teeth, implants are permanent and do not need to be taken out or cleaned every night. What happens when you visit the best Dental Hospital in India ? When you visit the dental hospital, your dentist will conduct a thorough dental checkup to address your specific needs and create a treatment plan. The dentist will recommend a dental implant under the following conditions: If you have one or more missing teeth. If you are unable to or unwilling to wear dentures. If your jawbone has reached its full growth. If your bone is adequate to support the implant. If you do not have any health condition that may affect bone healing. If you want to improve your speech. A team of the best oral surgeons in the city will guide you on dental implants and give you a brief about dental implant costs in India. The surgeons will then take impressions of your teeth and create a model of your bite. The bite will capture all of your teeth, type, and arrangement in your oral cavity. Your new tooth will be custom-made on this model. Furthermore, your dentist will also match the colour of your new teeth to your natural teeth. This is done to make it look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth.

Cavities are a common experience in most families today. They are holes that form in the teeth’s hard surface that are caused by bacteria. Cavities are mostly experienced by children, teenagers, and young adults. If any family member is suffering from tooth pain, you should visit a reputed Dental Clinic in Ghaziabad to ascertain if there is a cavity and get suitable treatment. Neglecting the cavity may lead to aggravation of symptoms, infection,  and even tooth loss. Symptoms you Experience When you Have a Cavity Constant pain in the tooth Holes in your teeth Pain when biting your food Sensitivity while eating hot or cold food Sensitivity to sugary foods and drinks Visible stain on the tooth If anyone in your family has one or more of these symptoms, seek an appointment with the Best dental hospital in NCR Delhi as early as possible. By timely, treatment you can save the tooth affected by the cavity.   Treatment Methods for Cavities The treatment’s effectiveness will be based on how severe your cavities are and your overall health condition at that time. The common treatment methods include: If your cavity is still at its early stage, your dentist may prescribe only a fluoride treatment If the damage is more, the dentist may fit a crown made of gold or porcelain, acting as a protective covering for your tooth When the cavity has reached your tooth’s pulp, you will need a root canal treatment to discard the diseased pulp and replace it with a filling In worst cases, the tooth may be severely affected, and only an extraction will be the best solution What Happens if you Neglect to Treat your Cavity? With timely treatment, there are more chances of saving your tooth. But, if you ignore the cavity, you will unnecessarily invite dental issues that can seriously affect your health. You may experience any of these: 1.Increase in the Cavity Size When you do not treat a cavity, you allow the bacteria to damage your tooth further. Ultimately, the cavity becomes larger and may cause the tooth to become brittle and crack. The first cavity may even lead to the development of a second one. 2.An Infection in your Mouth By allowing the cavity to worsen, you increase the chances of infection in your mouth and jaw. You may get symptoms like excessive pain or swelling in the jaw. Your doctor may need to prescribe antibiotics to heal the infection, along with treating your cavity. 3.Damage to your Nerves If allowed to continue its damage, the cavity can reach your nerves. This can lead to a lot of pain and sensitivity as the nerve gets exposed. It will reach a stage where the only way to save your tooth will be to undergo a root canal treatment. In severe cases, the doctor may even suggest getting your tooth extracted. In very rare cases, not treating a cavity can result in a very bad infection that may lead to severe illness or sometimes even death. Not letting a cavity aggravate is the best solution if you want to prevent serious dental problems. A dentist can easily treat a cavity if you have a checkup at an early stage. So, if you see signs of a cavity in your mouth, quickly pay a visit to Santosh Hospitals, the Best Dental Hospital in Ghaziabad. The talented and experienced dentists at the hospital will diagnose and treat your cavity successfully, using modern treatment methods, in the quickest time possible.

Advances in whitening technology have made a brighter smile easier to achieve than ever before, and we’re happy to help patients every day get the smile of their dreams. If you’re considering teeth whitening, here are a few things you should know before your treatment. 1. Products offered in our practice offer superior results than any product you can purchase in a local store or supermarket. While over-the-counter whitening products can certainly enhance the brightness of your smile, the results will happen over a much longer time frame than if you were to visit us. 2. You may experience sensitivity after a whitening session, but any discomfort will fade quickly. Most patients we welcome into the practice report any tooth sensitivity post-whitening clears up within 24 hours. 3. Whitening is ideal for most people, though you should know that dental restorations will not lighten. If you have crowns, veneers, or dental bridges, they will not get whiter like your natural teeth will. 4. An in-chair visit takes just about an hour to complete, and will leave your teeth stunningly brighter immediately. While you may walk in with dark and stained teeth, you’ll leave beaming brilliantly. 5. Your results can last anywhere from a few months to a few years depending on how well you care for your teeth and whether or not you do whitening touch-ups. Ask us about take-home whitening kits at your next visit, which allow you to maintain your results from the comfort of your own couch. If you have other questions about teeth whitening or would like to book an appointment with us, we’d love to hear from you. Contact us to book your visit or simply give us a call with your questions. We look forward to seeing you in the practice soon and helping you get the smile of your dreams.

While many of us wake up with a sore back or neck from sleeping in an odd position, did you know it’s possible to awake to a throbbing jaw? If this sounds familiar, you may be experiencing symptoms of TMJ or bruxism. While both ailments have similar symptoms, it’s important to distinguish between the two for proper treatment. Here’s how you can pinpoint the cause of your jaw pain, and how to overcome it. TMJ vs. Bruxism: Which Is It? TMJ: Temporomandibular joint disorder is isolated to the nerve tissues and muscles in your jaw. Every day, our jaws do a lot of work! Designed to move up and down as well as side to side, it’s easy to see how misalignment and inflammation in the joint can occur. Sometimes, things like arthritis, stress, autoimmune disease and even an injury can cause TMJ. Other tell-tale signs include: Pain in the jaw and shoulders Teeth grinding Ear pain and neck pain upon waking up in the morning Morning headaches that may remain constant throughout the day Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Bruxism is commonly referred to as teeth grinding, which usually happens unconsciously and during sleep. Typically, this is tied to stress or stressful situations. Common symptoms include: Cracked, chipped or broken and worn teeth Receding enamel and gums Pain in the shoulders, jaw, neck and even ears Getting Relief Thankfully, both disorders can be treated successfully and typically without the need for surgery. Teeth grinders and TMJ sufferers sometimes find a gentle jaw massage before bedtime loosens the muscles and joint to reduce clenching. Others find relief with a custom mouthguard, which we can fit you for in the practice. Let’s get to the bottom of your jaw pain—contact us to book an appointment today.

A gleaming bright smile is one of the best accessories anyone can possess. But what if your dentition looks dingy? There are many reasons why your pearly whites may have a dull appearance. Top Causes of Staining Here are a few reasons for tooth discouloration: Food Drinks Smoking and other tobacco use Stain-causing particles within the tooth enamel Aging Frequently Asked Questions How can I prevent teeth staining? Fortunately, it’s easy to keep your teeth from getting stained. Avoid certain foods and drinks that stain your teeth, quit smoking, and maintain a good oral care routine. Your regimen should include brushing your teeth twice daily, rinsing with mouthwash and flossing once a day. Consider chewing sugar-free gum between meals, and be sure you see your dentist at least twice a year. What foods stain your teeth? Foods that are bright or vivid in colour are the most likely to stain your teeth. Red pasta sauces, berries (particularly blueberries and raspberries), soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, all can contribute to teeth staining. If you want to enjoy these foods, be sure to rinse your mouth with water afterward to prevent the staining properties from taking hold. What drinks cause teeth staining? Like foods, drinks with dark or bold colours such as colas and coffee, are most likely to cause teeth staining. It’s also a good idea to avoid red wines and tea. Daily consumption of these drinks can darken your smile. Do braces stain your teeth? After braces are removed, sometimes mild stains are visible. However, it’s not the braces that create the stains. Rather, it’s the way the teeth were taken care of while the braces were on. Follow the other suggestions for stain prevention, and avoid using whitening products while wearing braces. That’s so you don’t over-whiten the area of your teeth that surround the brackets. Are all types of tooth stains reversible? There are three primary ways teeth become stained: surface stains; under the surface stains; and age-related stains. All three can benefit from different teeth whitening processes. If you’d like a brighter, whiter smile that exudes confidence, ask your dentist about effective whitening solutions that get optimal results.

Whether a teen or an adult seeking orthodontic treatment, one thing is clear: The stigma around getting braces is a thing of the past. Nowadays, people look forward to achieving a straighter smile in no time. As your partner in oral health, we can’t wait to help you achieve a stunning smile! Whether you’re looking into traditional braces with metal wires or clear aligners, here are a few things you can do to prepare before your treatment begins. You might need to get other necessary dental work done before beginning your braces treatment. Commonly, wisdom teeth need to be removed so they don’t interfere with alignment. If you’re beginning treatment with traditional braces, getting used to eating can be a challenge. Adjusting your diet beforehand is a great way to prepare. Sticky foods like candies or hard foods like apples tend to get stuck in braces. While you can still consume these foods, it’s a good idea to know what to expect. Individuals opting for clear aligners don’t have to worry about food sticking to their aligners as they’re removed before eating. If you’re an athlete, you’ll want to get a mouthguard to protect your teeth during sports. Patients with traditional braces can be more prone to lacerations on the inside of their mouth should they sustain a blow to the head. Get your appointments with us booked in advance. Throughout your care plan, we’ll want to see you in the practice to make sure things are progressing properly. We’ll help book times that are convenient for you to stop in for quick visits. When traditional metal wires are tightened during the course of orthodontic treatment, patients may notice some soreness or discomfort for the first couple of days. The same thing is true for patients swapping out their clear aligners for the next one in the series. For this reason, it’s a good idea to have over-the-counter pain medication on hand. Take a selfie! We know you’ll love seeing your before and after photos, which we’ll take in the practice.

How a Dentist May Help You Sleep Better Have you ever been told that you snore? Or, maybe a partner snores so loudly that your sleep is constantly interrupted. While snoring is quite common, it can sometimes be the result of a larger issue known as obstructive sleep apnea, also called OSA. The good news? Help with overcoming snoring and mild OSA is easier than you might have thought. And it starts with our practice! What is OSA? OSA is commonly associated with snoring and happens when the airway is blocked by the soft tissue in the back of the throat as you sleep. In mild to moderate cases, a person may jolt awake a handful of times each night, or many more. While men are more likely to experience this condition, it can affect anyone. Most often, those with the following may have a greater risk factor: Family history Over 40 years old Overweight or obese Large tongue or tonsils Deviated septum or sinus problems What You Can Do Many people associate OSA with a CPAP machine, which a person wears as they sleep. This machine is designed to force air down your airways to keep it open. While this is an effective treatment, some find the machine uncomfortable to wear and loud. That’s where we come in. We’re proud to offer patients a custom-fit oral device designed to comfortably move your jaw forward while you sleep. This slight movement helps to keep your airway open, reducing the chance that your airway becomes blocked. The process is easy, efficient, and effective in mild cases. Interested in Learning More? We’d love to hear from you and discuss how we may be able to help you (and your bed partner) get a better night of sleep. Get started today by contacting our practice to book an appointment. We look forward to seeing you soon.
