ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Are you worried about root canal pain and multiple sittings? Relax! At Procare Dental Clinic in South Kolkata, our expert endodontists use modern equipment and advanced anaesthetics to provide painless root canal treatment, often completed in a single session.

 

Understanding Root Canal Treatment (RCT)

Your tooth consists of a crown (visible part) and roots (inside the gums). It has three layers:

 

  • Enamel – the strongest, outermost layer.
  • Dentin – the protective middle layer.
  • Pulp – the innermost layer, supplying nourishment.

If decay affects only the enamel and dentin, the dentist treats it with a filling. However, if it reaches the pulp and causes inflammation, the dentist performs a root canal treatment (RCT).

 

How Is a Root Canal Performed?

 

  1. Anaesthesia – We use advanced anaesthetics like Articaine for better effectiveness.
  2. Access & Cleaning – Our dentist makes a small opening, removes the infected pulp, and thoroughly cleans the canals.
  3. Disinfection & Filling – The canals are disinfected and sealed with gutta-percha.
  4. Restoration – The dentist places a temporary or permanent filling and recommends a crown for strength.

Our expertise and advanced technology ensure a painless and stress-free root canal experience. Book an appointment today!

IMPLANTS

Missing teeth can significantly impact your facial appearance, create challenges with chewing, lead to speech difficulties, and contribute to various complications for your oral and overall health.

Dental implants offer the most advanced solution for replacing missing or lost teeth. These implants are made of biocompatible titanium, serving as an artificial tooth root. They function like screws that support artificial teeth, ensuring they look and feel like natural teeth.

How Is a Dental Implant Placed?

1. Primary Evaluation

 

Our dentist will conduct a comprehensive clinical examination to assess your jawbone condition. This process includes reviewing your medical history, blood reports, and radiographic evaluations such as X-rays and CBCT scans of the proposed implant site.

 

2. Tooth Extraction (if needed)

 

If a damaged or failing tooth requires replacement, the dentist will extract the teeth before starting the dental implant procedure.

 

3. Implant Placement

 

Under local anaesthesia, the dentist carefully inserts the implant into the jawbone. Over time, the bone integrates with the implant, making it a stable part of your gum line.

 

4. Abutment Placement

 

Once the implant fuses with the bone, the dentist attaches an abutment to it. The abutment serves as the connection between the crown and the implant. The dentist firmly tightens the abutment to ensure stability during eating.

 

5. Permanent Crown Placement

After the gums heal, our dentist will design and fit a custom-made crown onto the abutment, restoring the appearance and function of a natural tooth.

 

With proper care, dental implants provide a long-lasting and reliable solution for missing teeth, improving oral health and confidence.

TEETH WHITENING

It can be uneasy to feel self-conscious about the colour of your teeth, but cosmetic dentistry provides practical ways to boost your self-esteem. At Procare Dental Clinic, we help you understand the causes of teeth discolouration and provide tailored treatments to brighten your smile.

 

What Causes Teeth Discoloration?

Teeth discolouration can result from various factors:

 

  1. Extrinsic Stains: These affect the tooth enamel and are caused by consuming coffee, tea, wine, colas, or tobacco, as well as smoking and eating starchy foods.
  2. Intrinsic Stains: These occur due to poor dental health, making teeth appear greyish. Causes include poor hygiene, tooth decay, certain medications, dental injuries, or excessive fluoride use.
  3. Ageing: Tooth enamel erodes with age, revealing yellow dentin beneath. This decay makes teeth appear darker by decreasing their translucency.

How We Help You Achieve a Brighter Smile

At Procare Dental Clinic, we offer two effective teeth whitening options to suit your needs:

 

  1. In-Office Whitening: Our dentists perform this procedure to deliver instant results. They apply a professional-grade bleaching gel to your teeth, giving you a visibly whiter smile in just one visit.
  2. Home Whitening: For a more gradual approach, we create custom trays based on impressions of your teeth. You’ll apply a whitening gel to the trays and wear them for a few hours daily.

For long-lasting results, we recommend combining both treatments—starting with in-office whitening and maintaining it with home whitening.

CERAMIC VENEERS AND LAMINATE

Dental laminates and dental veneers are two common procedures done to improve the overall appearances of someone’s smile. From color to shape and size, both options ultimately provide non-invasive treatments to unpleasant smiles.

 

What are dental veneers?

 

Dental veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells placed on the surface of the teeth to improve appearance, giving patients a better-looking smile. The procedure used to place veneers is minimally invasive and requires a small amount of enamel be removed for them to fit.

 

What are dental laminates?

 

Dental laminates have the same function as veneers and are sometimes the two terms are used interchangeably. Laminates differ in the sense that they are much thinner and require less amount of enamel to be removed for them to be placed.

 

Ceramic  and Composite veneers and can beautifully transform your smile.If you have a severe aesthetic concern, or you’re looking for the most natural and durable treatment solution (and cost is not a consideration), then porcelain veneers will give you a fantastic result.

 

PEDIACTRIC DENTISTRY

Children are more prone to cavities and tooth decay because of their fondness for sweets and the challenges of maintaining good brushing habits. Our pediatric dentist, specially trained to address dental issues in children from infancy through their teenage years, not only treats existing dental problems but also teaches children how to prevent future issues.

 

Kids Dental Treatments at Procare Dental Clinic

Preventive Dental Care:

 

Regular dental visits greatly enhance the chance of resolving issues. Children should have routine dental examinations every six months.

 

Dental Cleanings & Screening:

Professional dental cleaning uses specialized tools to eliminate plaque accumulation from tooth surfaces. Plaque contains bacteria that can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and gingivitis.

 

Fluoride Application:

Tooth decay is a common issue in children due to improper brushing habits. Regular fluoride application treatments help prevent plaque buildup and bacteria, which can lead to enamel loss and cavities.

 

Sealants:

Tooth decay often occurs when food and bacteria become trapped in the pits and fissures of children’s teeth. Sealants are applied to the chewing surfaces of teeth to prevent cavities.

 

Oral Habits:

Our specialists guide children on proper brushing and flossing techniques and encourage healthy eating habits to promote good oral development.

 

Root Canal Treatment for Children

Do you think your child is too young for root canal treatment? Think again. There is no age limit for root canal therapy.

This procedure involves removing infected pulp, which includes living tissue from the tooth roots. Our pediatric root canal specialist employs specialized skills and tools to provide gentle and effective care for children.

 

Orthodontic Treatment for Children

The primary goal of orthodontic treatment is to create a functional and healthy bite by perfectly aligning the jaw and teeth. Early orthodontic intervention can prevent more severe problems as children grow. Prompt treatment promotes healthy jaw development and leads to a beautiful smile.

FULL MOUTH REHABILITATION

Dentists perform full mouth rehabilitation to restore the function, aesthetics, and health of the full mouth. This treatment involves reconstructing all teeth and addressing dental issues such as decay, damage, missing teeth, and bite problems. Each treatment plan is customized to meet the unique needs of every patient and incorporates a combination of dental procedures.

Reasons for Full Mouth Rehabilitation

Several conditions may require full mouth rehabilitation, including:

  • Multiple Missing Teeth: Replacement of missing teeth to restore functionality and aesthetics.
  • Worn, Chipped, or Cracked Teeth: Repairing damaged teeth to improve appearance and functionality.
  • Bite Problems: Misaligned teeth, missing teeth, or jaw issues can cause bite problems. Full mouth rehabilitation corrects these issues using orthodontic treatments, dental crowns, bridges, and treatments for TMJ disorders.
  • Severe Decay: Extensive tooth decay can compromise overall oral health and lead to tooth loss. Rehabilitation addresses decay with appropriate restorative procedures.

Procedures Involved in Full Mouth Rehabilitation

The comprehensive approach to full mouth rehabilitation involves various dental procedures, including:

 

i) Dental Implants:

Dentists replace missing teeth by surgically placing titanium posts into the jawbone. These implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for dental crowns, bridges, or dentures after they fuse with the bone.

 

ii) Dental Crowns:

Dental crowns restore damaged or weakened teeth. Technicians custom-make these items to fit the shape, size, and colour of patient’s natural teeth, providing protection and enhancing their appearance.

 

iii) Fixed or Removable Dentures:

Dentures are custom-made appliances used to replace missing teeth. Dentures can be complete (replacing all teeth) or partial (replacing some teeth), designed to fit comfortably and restore oral function.

 

iv) Root Canal Treatment:

In cases of severe tooth decay, root canal treatment may be necessary before placing dental crowns. This procedure removes infected tissue, alleviates pain, and preserves the tooth structure.

 

Comprehensive Approach

Our team of experts, including Prosthodontists, Endodontists, and Orthodontists, collaborates to create a personalized treatment plan. This multidisciplinary approach ensures the highest quality care, making full-mouth rehabilitation a successful and life-changing experience for everyone.

OZONE DENTISTRY

Ozone (O₃) is a highly reactive form of oxygen, consisting of three oxygen atoms instead of the two found in the oxygen we breathe (O₂). While ozone naturally occurs in the Earth’s atmosphere, it can also be produced for therapeutic purposes, including dental care.

 

Benefits of Ozone Therapy for Dental Health

 

1. Elimination of Tooth Decay

Ozone therapy is an effective method for treating mild tooth decay. It helps eliminate harmful bacteria without the need for invasive procedures.

 

2. Effective Remineralization

Ozone treatment aids in repairing and remineralizing weakened enamel, either independently or in combination with a remineralizing solution.

 

3. Minimally Invasive Treatment

Most ozone dental treatments involve applying ozone directly to the surface of the tooth or gums, eliminating the need for drilling. This makes it a good option for patients who experience dental anxiety.

 

4. Reduction of Tooth Sensitivity

Tooth sensitivity often results from thinning enamel. Ozone therapy can effectively strengthen and repair enamel, thereby reducing tooth sensitivity.

 

5. Root Canal Disinfection

Ozone is used during root canal procedures to disinfect the root canals and eliminate bacteria, improving the success rate of the treatment.

 

6. Canker Sore Treatment

Research has shown that ozone can effectively treat and heal canker sores while also helping to reduce associated pain.

 

7. Preservation of Tooth Structure

Ozone therapy offers a safer and less invasive alternative by protecting the natural tooth structure and surrounding oral tissues.

Ozone therapy offers numerous benefits in modern dentistry, providing a gentle yet effective way to maintain oral health.

MINOR ORAL SURGERIES

Minor oral surgery includes the removal of retained or buried roots, broken teeth, wisdom teeth, and cysts from the upper and lower jaw. It also incorporates apical surgery and the removal of a small number of soft tissue lesions such as mucoceles, ranulas, and high labial or lingual frenums in the mouth. These procedures are typically performed under local anaesthesia, with or without intravenous (I.V.) sedation, and generally have a relatively short recovery period.
