Dental Crowns-All You Need To Know

There are millions of people across the globe who have had a dental crown to replace a missing tooth or strengthen a weakened tooth. A dental crown is a dental material that is applied over the crown of the tooth to provide it with protection and support. If you would like to know more about dental crowns, then here is some useful information brought to you by Ridgetop Dental International Pvt Ltd, one of the leading dental clinic in Bangalore for general dentistry & cosmetic procedures.

What is a dental crown?

The anatomy of a tooth can be divided into two basic parts -- the root and the crown. The part of the tooth that is visible in the mouth, above the gum line on lower teeth and below the gum line on upper teeth, is called the clinical crown. A cemented restoration that partially or completely covers the outside of the clinical crown is referred to as a dental crown, or cap.

When is a dental crown needed?

Here are some conditions for which the leading cosmetic dentists in Bangalore would recommend dental crowns:

1To provide strength to a large filling

2.In Root Canal Treatment

3.Cracked tooth syndrome

4.Broken Cusps

5.Undesirable appearance of teeth

6.To hold a dental bridge in place

7.To cover a dental implant

8.To make cosmetic modification

Types of dental crowns available

Crowns can be made out of a gold alloy, some other metal alloy, stainless steel, all-porcelain/all-ceramic, composite resin, zirconia, or porcelain on the outside fused to metal or zirconia on the inside.

Will there be pain?

The tooth being restored is numbed so that it isn't painful during the crown preparation. After the procedure is over and the anaesthesia has worn off, the patient may feel some sensitivity with the temporary crown or some soreness in the gums around the tooth. The pain is very minimal though and shouldn't last long.

Tips To Keep Pearly Whites, White Forever!

No matter what the fashion trend this season, one fashion accessory that never goes out of vogue is-dazzling white smile.  But unfortunately, due to our poor eating and drinking habits and bad oral hygiene, our pearly whites lose their natural shine and whiteness. So, is there a way to whiten them? Yes, actually many! Ridgetop Dental International Pvt Ltd., a leading dental clinic in Bangalore, who have been helping patients get the perfect white, dazzling smile since many years explain what it takes to get a flashy white smile. Read on to find out.

Watch your diet

If you’re drinking a lot of red wine or black tea, or smoking cigarettes, expect the results to show up as not-so-pearly whites. Other culprits include colas, gravies and dark juices. Brush your teeth immediately after having foods that stain.

Go for whitening gel

While many products claim to have whitening results, only a gel will actually be able to whiten beyond surface stains.

Drink with a straw

Doing away with most of the beverages is easier said than done. Even if you can’t avoid drinking them you surely can avoid them contacting your teeth by sipping from a straw!

Eat crunchy fruits and vegetables

The abrasive quality of crunchy fruits and vegetables like apples, pears, carrots, etc. can help clean stains from your teeth.

Importance Of Dental Visits For Children

Our body is a precious gift of God to us; therefore, it is our responsibility to take care of it. Our pearly whites, often the most neglected ones, need good amount of care in order to remain beautiful forever. But, few people look forward to going to the doctor or a dentist, and kids can be even more unwilling than adults. Regular doctor and dentist visits is the key to maintaining good health, and helping children get into the habit of regular checkups will enable them to continue this practice when they’re adults. The experts at Ridgetop Dental International Pvt Ltd. explain why it is important for the kids to start dental checkups early.

When to start?

It's important to get an early start on dental care, so that your child will learn that visiting the dentist is a regular part of health care. The first step is to choose a dentist for your child. Our experts at Jayanagar dental clinic advice clients to have oral assessment of infants within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth or by one year of age. 

Importance of dentist visits for kids

·         If your child does not have routine dental check-ups then you could be setting them up for a lifetime of dental problems and possibly a loss of all of their teeth.

·         There are many problems that could occur when a child does not see a dentist regularly. Cavities, for one, can be caught early on with routine dental exams. If cavities aren't taken care of early on then they can cause the rotting of the whole tooth that the cavity is in.

·         Sometimes a dental problem can also be a sign of another health problem. So this makes routine dental check-ups even more important for the health of your children.

·         A professional paediatric dentist will provide you with expert tips on how to take care of your child's teeth at home. Advice typically includes the proper way to floss and brush your child's teeth and additional information based on the specific condition of your child's teeth.

At Ridgetop Dental International we offer comprehensive children's dentistry enabling us to become the best dentist in Bangalore.

Dental Implants For That Lost Smile!

Ridgetop Dental International Pvt Ltd. is a centre for cosmetic and advanced dentistry, governed by group of highly talented individuals. Their advanced dentistry centre is equipped with high technology to take care of all your dental needs.

Life is very unpredictable and the journey of life is very precarious. In these modern stressful times, each day in our lives we meet with new challenges. Many times due to accidents, mishaps or some dental conditions, people lose their natural teeth, which results in lack of self confidence. But, fortunately, the doctors at Ridgetop Dental International Pvt Ltd. can help you get your beautiful smile and most importantly your lost self confidence back. Read on to find out how qualified dentists in Koramangala can help you overcome your dental concerns.

Undergoing a dental implant is the best treatment for tooth loss available today. The other (and older) options are dentures (which are artificial sets of teeth that fit into your gums; generally used in place of multiple missing teeth) and bridges (which use adjacent teeth as anchors for holding onto gums; generally used in place of one or two missing teeth).

What is a dental implant?

Dental implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums. Once in place, they allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them.

Advantages over conventional bridges and dentures

Because implants fuse to your jawbone, they provide stable support for artificial teeth. Dentures and bridges mounted to implants won't slip or shift in your mouth — an especially important benefit when eating and speaking. This secure fit helps the dentures and bridges — as well as individual crowns placed over implants — feel more natural than conventional bridges or dentures.

Types of dental implants

Single tooth implants: The single tooth implant replaces the missing tooth’s roots. A single tooth implant is a stand-alone unit and does not involve treating the tooth next to it.

Implant supported bridges and dentures: Dental implants can be used to support a bridge when several teeth are missing. The bridge replaces the lost natural teeth and some of the tooth roots.  An implant-supported bridge does not require support from surrounding teeth.

If you are missing all of your teeth, an implant-supported bridge can replace the missing teeth and some of the tooth roots. 

As a leading provider of dental implants in Bangalore, at Ridgetop Dental International, we can treat a single tooth restoration or a complex full restoration case. We offer safe, minimally invasive procedures that results in less discomfort, reduced swelling and shortened healing times.

Ceramic clear brackets
For those not desiring a traditional metal mouth, an alternative is available on the market: Ceramic clear brackets. They are clear, ceramic brackets that will straighten teeth, but you cannot see them. So, people will notice you, not your braces.

Incognito Lingual Braces
These are the braces that are placed behind the teeth and they are not visible when you smile.

Invisalign
The Invisalign system works by making a mould of the teeth, then creating a transparent trays that fits on to the teeth, which are also called as “Aligners”. The clear aligners gradually straightens the teeth over a period of months. The process involves wearing the aligner every day and replacing them with new ones every two weeks. The process can often be completed in about a year for majority of the cases.

Veneers
Porcelain veneers are another alternative to braces. With porcelain veneers, the original teeth are not straightened. Instead, an artificial surface is applied to the teeth, which gives the appearance of straight teeth.

A beautiful smile is a sure shot way to win praises and hearts. So, if you want to undergo any of the above procedures to have a perfect smile then call us at 080 6748 9900 for a complimentary consultation or simply log in to http://www.ridgetopdental.in/ today!
