Implants are titanium screws which are fitted on the jaw bone to replace missing tooth on which an artificial cap (crown) is put. Implants are as comfortable as normal tooth and they are long lasting for years. Placement of Implant is a painless procedure.

A root canal is a capillary, which runs from the base of the root of the tooth to the middle of the crown (the visible part of the tooth). The root canal carries the pulp (a network of blood and nerve cells), which brings the tooth to life.The nerve of the tooth gets damaged due to many reasons. One of the main causes is cavity in the tooth that grows deeper and touches the nerve. Since the cavity is filled with bacteria, the root canal gets inflamed and causes pain. Other reasons that may damage the teeth are accidental cracks or infection from gums reaching to the base of roots.

Orthognathic Surgery is surgery to correct conditions of the jaw and face related to structure, growth, sleep apnea, TMJ disorders, correct malocclusion problems owing to skeletal disharmonies or other orthodontic problems that cannot be easily treated with braces. Bones can be cut and re-aligned, held in place with either screws or plates and screws.

Both crowns and most bridges are fixed prosthetic devices. Unlike removable devices such as dentures, which you can take out and clean daily, crowns and bridges are cemented onto existing teeth or implants, and can only be removed by a dentist. A crown is used to entirely cover or "cap" a damaged tooth.

One method of preventing cavities from developing in the pits and fissures is to seal them off with a special pit and fissure sealant. Your dentist will clean the tooth first, then apply a mild acid solution to 'etch' the surface and make it easier for the pit and fissure sealant to stick.

As toddlers advance into childhood, many parents need guidance to help their children develop good oral hygiene habits and get the nutrition they need. Oftentimes, parents also have questions about tooth development, sealants and fluoride, when to schedule dental visits, and when to consider braces.
