Electric vs. Manual Toothbrushes
Our Surrey dentists often recommend electric toothbrushes to patients to help them better clean their teeth. Here are a few reasons why electric toothbrushes have an edge over manual ones.
The Parts of a Dental Implant
Dental Implants are typically made up of three parts: The implant itself, the abutment, and the crown. Here, our Surrey dentists provide a brief overview of each component.
Treating Bad Breath
It is important to conduct thorough oral hygiene at home twice daily utilizing tooth brushing with a fluoride antibacterial toothpaste and flossing to remove food debris and plaque on teeth, bridgework and implants, and brushing the tongue to remove odor-causing bacteria.
Soft Tissue Grafts
Periodontal procedures, such as soft tissue grafts, are available to stop further dental problems and gum recession, and/or to improve the aesthetics of your gum line.
Periodontal Therapy
Non-surgical periodontal therapy removes plaque and calculus by controlling the growth of harmful bacteria and by treating conditions that encourage gum disease.
Malocclusion
Occlusion refers to the alignment of teeth and the way that the upper and lower teeth fit together (bite). Ideally, all upper teeth fit slightly over the lower teeth. Malocclusion means the teeth are not aligned properly.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings that protect the chewing surfaces of children's back teeth from decay (cavities).
Ceramic Crowns
A crown is a type of dental restoration which completely encircles remaining tooth structure or a dental implant.
Dental Crowns (Caps)
As far as a dental restoration goes, the terms "crown" and "cap" are synonymous. Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth.
