Whitening of the teeth is performed for patients who want a brighter smile. Tooth whitening can be done to reduce discoloration and staining, or simply to provide the patient with whiter, brighter teeth for a beautiful smile.

Tooth enamel discoloration can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Some of the more common causes of tooth discoloration are medications, coffee, tea or cigarettes. People who drink significant amounts of cola soft drinks can experience similar staining. Damage to the root may also contribute to discoloration.

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root used in dentistry to support restorations that resemble a tooth or group of teeth. Virtually all dental implants placed today are root-form endosseous implants. In other words, virtually all dental implants placed in the 21st century appear similar to an actual tooth root (and thus possess a "root-form") and are placed within the bone. Implants are not only used to replace one tooth, but rather people missing most, if not all, of their teeth benefit greatly as well. Implants are increasingly being used to replace certain types of bridges and removable partial dentures.

The "Gummy Smile" - This is a problem where your teeth appear to be too short. Gum sculpting is often the solution. To solve this, a dentist uses a laser to remove the excess tissue of your "gummy" smile, which then exposes more of your tooth.

Dental bonding , also called as composite or tooth bonding, is an excellent procedure to fix cosmetic and structural imperfections in the teeth. Dental bonding can repair cracked, chipped, and discolored teeth as well as replace silver amalgam fillings in teeth. Cosmetic bonding can also repair misaligned teeth, providing a straighter, more uniform smile. We customize smile design for every patient. These kind of treatments come under esthetic dentistry.

Tooth reshaping, or contouring, is one of few instant treatments now available in cosmetic dentistry. Dental reshaping and contouring is a procedure to correct crooked teeth, chipped teeth, cracked teeth or even overlapping teeth in just one session.

Crowns and bridges are types of Dental restoration which completely encircle and protect a tooth or implant. They are typically used when a large cavity threatens the health of a tooth.

Crowns are implanted with dental cement. Dental crowns restore the Anatomy of the tooth, restore tooth functions and aesthetics. Dental Crowns can be used for replacement of both fixed teeth and missing teeth. Dental crowns or caps are available as Metal ceramic Crowns and the latest Zirconium Crowns. The life of the Zirconium crown / teeth is long lasting and permanent.

Patients at Modi's Dental Clinic /Hospital get to choose from a number of grades of Metal Ceramic and Zirconium crowns and bridges. Modi's Dental Clinic / Hospital are one of the first to bring in the technology of the Metal Free Zirconium crowns into their practice of Prosthodontics.

Re-cementation of crowns is another area which Modi's Dental Clinic works on when patients require the procedure. This occurs due to recurrent decay of teeth, Trauma or improper biting and re-cementation is done as per standard protocol.

Root Canal Therapy (RCT) is an endodontic specialty in dentistry where sequence of procedures is performed on a tooth which results in the elimination of infection and thereby protecting the tooth from future infection. The tooth is then filled with inert dental fillings. A Dental cap is recommended post Root Canal treatment. Modi's Dental Hospital / Clinic have a team of Doctors who have been trained to be experts in advanced/modern Root canal therapy. Traditional RCT still exists in many places, but the Adoption of new techniques and innovations like painless RCT and performing all types of root canal therapy have made Modi's Dental Clinics / Hospitals stand apart from the rest.

Orthodontics, the branch of dentistry concerned with the growth of the teeth, jaws and face, is in high demand. Orthodontic treatment is about making the best of your teeth; it's about improving the harmony of your mouth and jaws. Once you can bite together correctly, you can eat more comfortably and care for your teeth and gums more easily. And your smile will benefit immensely!

Most courses of orthodontic treatment begin with a referral from a general dentist to a specialist. Depending on what treatment is needed, most patients are seen by a specialist in a local practice or by a consultant in hospital. Some patients are treated by dentists with extra training and experience to treat the milder cases.

These are some of the most common reasons for a referral:

1. Protruding upper front teeth - one of the most common dental problems.

2. Crowding - a narrow jaw may mean there is not enough room for your teeth, resulting in crowding. Conversely, some patients have significant gaps between their teeth.

3. Asymmetry - particularly when the centre lines of the upper and lower front teeth do not match, perhaps because the teeth have drifted or the position of the jaw has shifted.

4. A deep bite - when your upper teeth cover the lower teeth too much

5. A reverse bite - when your upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth

6. An open bite - when your front teeth remain apart when your back teeth meet; the tongue is often still visible between the upper and lower front teeth.

Impacted teeth - in some patients, secondary teeth come through in the wrong position or do not erupt at all. Orthodontic treatment can help bring these teeth into the correct position.

Every patient needs tailor-made treatment, planned by the orthodontist and agreed with you, the patient. In order to decide what treatment is required for you, your orthodontist will need to carry out a full assessment of your teeth which is likely to include x-rays, impressions (moulds of the teeth) and photographs. Treatment can take more than two years so it is important you are happy from the outset with what is recommended. Braces are almost always needed. Those which are used most often are:

A Fixed Brace

This is the most common type of brace today, often known as "train tracks". Brackets are glued onto the teeth and linked by wires. Small elastic hoops are often used to hold the wire in position. The wires exert gentle pressure to move the teeth into a new position. The brackets can be metal, ceramic or even gold and the elastic loops come in many colours.

A Removable Brace

This is sometimes used for correcting a simple problem, such as moving a single tooth or expanding the dental arch. It has a plastic baseplate with wires and springs attached. Removable braces need to be worn all the time except for cleaning or sport.

Functional Appliances

These are used to harness the growth of the jaws and improve way the upper and lower teeth meet. There are several designs all of which fit on to both the upper and lower teeth and hold the lower jaw forward. They are mostly removable but should be worn as near to full-time as possible.

Retainers

At the end of treatment, all patients should wear retainers to hold their teeth in the new position. These can be removable or fixed and are an important part of treatment.

The wing of Dental sciences which handles Pediatric or Children Dental care is called Pedodontics.

The mouth or Oral Cavity is an integral part of the body. The mouth is a major portal of entry into the body and is equipped with mechanisms to defend against entry of Toxins and Pathogens. If the health of the mouth is compromised, then it serves as a source of causing disease and contamination to the rest of the body as well.

Oral health indicators like development of Oral Candidiasis and Oral hairy Leukoplakia are used to diagnose and determine specific stages of HIV infection.

Oral bone loss is seen as the first indicator for diagnosis of Osteoporosis which affects women more than men. Many studies have established the relationship of Osteoporosis and Oral bone loss, Periodontal (Gum Disease) Disease and Tooth Loss.

Poor Oral health has a direct and established relationship with diseases of the heart. Infective Endocarditis is caused by bacteria from the mouth. Gum Disease or Periodontal disease triggers the formation of plaque leading to atherosclerotic vascular Disease (ASVD) and a Heart attack.

Patients undergoing Chemotherapy or radiation therapy or a combination of both for Cancer are Immuno suppressed. Such patients have the potential to develop systemic infections caused by bacteria from the mouth.

Poor Oral Health can cause aspiration of bacteria into the normally sterile lower respiratory tract causing infections like Emphysema, Pneumonia and chronic Bronchitis.

Diabetic patients are at the maximum risk of oral health impairment. Periodontal (Gum) disease, Chewing difficulty, Oral ulcers, Tooth decay, Teeth Loss, Loose teeth, dry mouth and infections are commonly seen.
