Tooth Whitening Bangalore

Want whiter, brighter teeth? Who doesn’t? One option for you may be tooth whitening, also called bleaching. The dental clinic is the best place to seek professional advise.

Many patients have specific questions about tooth whitening. You may be concerned about it's cost, or perhaps about it's safety.

First look at yourself in a mirror. Ask yourself if you feel self-conscious when you smile and if you make attempts not to smile to hide certain aspects of your teeth. Are your teeth visible when you smile? What colour are they? Ask a friend about the colour of your teeth. Then ask yourself how often you wish you had whiter teeth. Weigh the answers to these questions before you consider whitening your teeth.

Our teeth yellow with age. Coffee, tea, cola drinks, soya sauce, cigarettes, pan, tobacco, food colouring, etc. will hasten this process. Many parents remark that the milk teeth of their child were whiter than the permanent teeth that have taken their place - how true! Permanent teeth are yellower than milk teeth, and tend to get darker with age.

It is necessary to have a healthy mouth before beginning to whiten your teeth. Bleeding gums, cavities, sensitive teeth, and other conditions must first be treated. The teeth must be cleaned and polished, to ensure that the whitening gel comes into direct contact with the teeth.

Possible side effects include increased sensitivity to cold during the treatment, tongue and lip soreness, and possibly throat irritation. These side effects always resolve in one to three days after completion or interruption of treatment.


It is possible to whiten your teeth in 7 to 14 days. But how much does all this cost? Prices vary substantially, depending on the shade we have to begin with and the time it is likely to take. However, whitening one's teeth has now become more affordable. Expect to pay Rs.2,500/= to Rs.5,000/= for all your teeth.

This picture shows a custom tray constructed in soft vinyl material and a plastic syringe containing the gel used for tooth whitening.


But is whitening safe? The American Dental Association says that if you are going to get your teeth whitened, you should do so under a dentist's supervision. Dentist-supervised products are applied in a controlled environment and sometimes use a custom-fitted mouthguard to minimize contact between the soft tissues of the mouth and the hydrogen peroxide (the active ingredient found in many of the products). They are considered by many dentists to be safer than over-the-counter, at-home whiteners, which may cause problems that you are unaware of. Over-the-counter, at-home whiteners often can allow more exposure of the mouth tissues to the active whitening agent, a situation dentists warn against.

You now possess the information to make an educated decision. Just remember not to do it for anybody else's sake. Do it only to improve your own self-image.

Root Canal Treatment Bangalore

What is Root Canal Therapy?

If you have a tooth whose internal structures are damaged, you may benefit from root canal therapy. Also called Endodontics, root canal therapy can restore your tooth to its state of health by treating the damaged part of your tooth.

Your Tooth maybe Damaged?

You may experience symptoms ranging from occasional sensitivity to hot and cold foods, to constant throbbing or a dull ache, to pain on chewing.

Your Dentist can Help?

Your dentist can assess the extent of damage by a comprehensive dental examination. Your dentist takes a dental history, examines your teeth and gums, and x-rays your teeth to examine the underlying roots and bone.

Your dentist will begin by asking if you have any symptoms such as throbbing, aching, or pain when you chew. You may be asked about previous dental work or injury to your teeth and any medical conditions you may have.

After your history is taken, your dentist will examine your teeth - looking for cavities, assessing the condition of any fillings you already have, check to see if your teeth are sensitive to hot or cold, check for loose teeth, tap on your teeth to check for pain, and evaluate the condition of your gums.

X-rays allow your dentist to see the inside of your teeth and the surrounding bone. With an x-ray, your dentist can detect any unhealthy changes in your teeth or bone, irrespective of whether they are causing any symptoms or not.



A Healthy Tooth

Your tooth has two basic parts: the crown is the part you see above the gum, and the roots anchor your tooth to your jawbone. Inside the crown and roots is soft tissue (pulp) that helps keep your tooth nourished.

Crown: An outer enamel layer and the dentin inside protect the tooth's underlying structures and prevent bacteria from entering the tooth.
Root : the root canals house the pulp and extend to the underlying bone. The pulp helps nourish the tooth and is made up of tiny blood vessels and nerves. The blood vessels carry nutrients to the tooth, and the nerves give feeling to the tooth. The bone holds the tooth with the help of tiny ligaments attached to the roots. The pulp tissue enters and exits through openings at the root tips.



Unhealthy Tooth

Bacteria can invade your tooth through a loose filling, a cavity, or a crack. Your pulp becomes infected as it is attacked by bacteria. Eventually, the bacteria may destroy the pulp. The inflammation and infection spread down the root canal, often causing sensitivity to hot or cold foods, throbbing, aching, or pain when you chew. This may lead to the bone getting infected as the bacteria escape through the root openings. The bone breaks down, and your ligament surrounding the root may swell and loosen the tooth.



Root Canal Therapy



The goal of root canal therapy is to improve the health of your damaged tooth. During treatment, the pulp is removed from your root canals through a small opening in the crown. Then the canals are cleaned and disinfected. The adjoining diagram shows an instrument being used to clean the canal.

Treatment may take one or more visits. The tooth is first numbed. An opening is made in your tooth and any existing fillings or decay is removed. Then your dentist removes unhealthy pulp with tiny, flexible files. Using delicate, up-and-down motions, your dentist gently cleans and smooths your canals to disinfect them and prepares them for filling.



The canals are then sealed with an inert material that occupies the space vacated by the removal of the pulp.

After the inside of your tooth has been treated, the outside will be restored to protect your tooth's underlying structures and to bring the tooth back into function. Your dentist will usually cover the tooth with a ceramic or metal crown. After root canal therapy, your tooth continues to be nourished by the surrounding gums and bone.

After root canal therapy your tooth should function and feel like your other teeth. Take care of your treated tooth the same way you would your other teeth. Brush after every meal, and floss before going to bed. Also, have regular dental checkups, cleanings, and any other dental work you may need so that your teeth last as long as you do !

Dental Implant Bangalore

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is basically a substitute or replacement for a missing tooth's root. It provides a stable foundation to anchor a crown or retention device.

What is better about using dental implants compared to other tooth replacement options?

The implant slows bone resorption, looks, feels and functions more as natural teeth. It does not require any treatment to the neighboring teeth. Implants increase stability, increase the ability to bite and chew, and can help hold in partials and dentures.

Does all the treatment get done here?

No, we use specialists that have many years experience, to place the implant. We are involved with the treatment planning, fabrication and attachment of the final restoration(s) to the implant.

What are the steps in having an implant placed and restored?

It can vary depending on what the final treatment plan is. Usually the patient is seen by us to discuss the feasibility of implants. Then the specialist is consulted to determine if the area to receive the implant(s) is acceptable in some cases. The patient then will return to our office for the fabrication of a guide that will help position the implants in the best location, in consideration of the final restorative treatment. The implants are then placed. Once the specialist gives the OK for the restorations to be done, the final treatment is completed.

Will I be without teeth very long?

Depending on where the implants are placed, many times a temporary appliance is not needed. In highly esthetic areas a temporary would be necessary. This could be worn about 1-2 weeks after the implants are placed. There are very firm guidelines for the immediate care of implants, to insure their success.

The final restorations, in some cases, can be placed as early as 6 weeks after placement of the implant

How long will it last?

The long term studies look good. But, it is unrealistic to think any restoration will last forever. To date the failure rate of the implant itself is very low.

We feel very comfortable offering this service to our patients who want to replace missing teeth with something as close to the feel of natural teeth as possible.

Dental Cleaning Bangalore

Dental cleaning is a fairly routine procedure that is rarely painful. Those who fear dentists or who have marked tooth sensitivity may feel more discomfort than the average patient. As well, those who have not had their teeth cleaned in a long while may expect to experience a longer cleaning, and some additional pulling or scraping to remove plaque from teeth. However, for most, a dental cleaning is more inconvenient than painful.

Once can expect the average dental cleaning to take between 30 minutes to an hour. If the cleaning is part of a yearly check-up, the dentist may also wish to take X-rays at this time to make certain no cavities are present. Usually, a dental hygienist performs most of the dental cleaning. The dentist will normally take a last look, and perhaps perform some difficult plaque removal toward the end of the cleaning, as well as evaluate the gums for gum disease.

One usually does not require pain medication for a dental cleaning. Some patients are made so nervous by dentists however that they may ask for and receive nitrous oxide. Alternately, a patient might take a tranquilizer about an hour before the appointment to help with anxiety. In cases of extreme anxiety, some dentists now perform what is called sleeping dentistry, where a patient can be medicated and essentially sleep through a procedure.

The hygienist will generally employ several tools during a dental cleaning. One tool is a tooth polisher that can buff teeth, and eliminate tiny pieces of plaque. Polishers generally have several different sized heads so cleaning can occur in hard to reach places.

Scalers look a bit like metal hooks and are used to remove hard plaque, especially between teeth. When the dentist is using scalers this may feel uncomfortable to painful depending upon one’s sensitivity level and pain threshold. Other factors that may determine pain is length of time since one’s last cleaning and extent of plaque build-up.

Dentists may also employ a device that shoots water into the mouth, so the person can rinse out plaque several times during the dental cleaning. In some cases, the dentist may merely use mouthwash for this purpose.

One can also expect a dentist to inquire about one’s home brushing and flossing activities. One is likely to hear a lecture during a dental cleaning if plaque build-up is bad or if regular brushing and flossing is not practiced. If one is regularly taking care of teeth at home, and plaque build-up is significant, this may indicate the need for more frequent cleanings.

A dental cleaning often concludes with advice about home care of teeth, and scheduling of appointments needed to take care of filling cavities. If one has a busy dentist, it may be wise to schedule the next cleaning well in advance, so one can keep regular six-month cleaning appointments.

If one has a heart condition, or has undergone heart surgery, it is extremely important to let the dentist know prior to the day of the teeth cleaning. Those with heart problems or heart defects are at high risk for developing a condition called bacterial endocarditis, which can seriously affect the heart. The only treatment needed prior to a dental cleaning, unless otherwise instructed, is a dose of antibiotics an hour before the cleaning. If a dentist does not know the proper dosage, then one should contact one’s physician. Usually dentists will know the dosage, but if in doubt, one can also check with the American Heart Association, which lists all guidelines for bacterial endocarditis prevention.
