DENTISTRY TREATMENTS VALCEA
Dental prophylaxis - Professional dental brushing
Dental prophylaxis is an effective way to prevent dental disease and to halt its progression. When we talk about dental prophylaxis, we are referring to two essential elements for healthy teeth: professional dental prophylaxis carried out by the dentist and personal oral hygiene carried out daily by the patient.
Prosthodontics - Dental veneers
Prosthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes in replacing missing teeth, managing to heal dental conditions caused by injury or decay. In other words, dental prosthodontics deals with the oral rehabilitation of the dental arches and succeeds in restoring beautiful, healthy and functional teeth to people who need them.Due to periodontal disease, shocks or decay left untreated in time, teeth can be lost, and to restore aesthetics and functionality, a denture may be needed. A denture is a rigid piece made in the dental laboratory from different materials.Prosthodontics comprises several elements, adapted to each individual case: dental veneers, dental crowns, dental bridges, as well as mobile work: dentures on implants, full or partial dentures. When one or more teeth are missing, dentures are the ideal solution.Oral Surgery
Oral Surgery involves the diagnosis and surgical treatment of dental diseases, defects and lesions. We are waiting for you at Clinica Pasindora - dental office Valcea - to find together solutions for the problems you are facing.
Oral surgery involves the surgical diagnosis and treatment of dental conditions, defects and lesions. Oral surgery includes:
- Endodontic surgery;
- Pre-prosthetic surgery;
- Tooth eruption accidents;
- Dental inclusions;
- Dento-parodontal trauma;
- Periodontal surgery;
- Dental implants.
Implantology - Dental implants
Over the course of a lifetime, teeth can become irreparably damaged due to a number of factors: decay, accidents, ageing or periodontal disease. Missing teeth can affect not only the health of the whole body, but also your speech and self-confidence. Implantology is the surgical specialty that solves these problems by replacing missing or severely damaged teeth with dental implants.
A dental implant serves the same function as the root of a natural tooth, providing solid support for a new tooth. Dental implants are designed to mimic the root structure of natural teeth. They are placed directly into the patient's jawbone to provide stable and secure support for replacement teeth.
Periodontology - Periodontal treatment
Periodontitis is one of the most common dental conditions. It can have different stages, from simple gum inflammation to gum recession and even tooth loss. Many people experience bleeding while brushing their teeth and ignore it, unaware that it is a sign of periodontitis which can lead to tooth loss. To avoid unpleasant situations, periodontal disease should be treated as soon as the first signs appear.
Periodontitis involves inflammation of the tissue that supports and anchors teeth in the jawbone. This tissue is called the gum, and damage to the gum can even lead to tooth loss. In advanced cases of periodontal disease, in addition to inflammation, pus clots may also appear. Periodontitis should be treated as early as possible to avoid its severe manifestations.
Periodontal disease is preceded by another condition, an early form called gingivitis. This is inflammation of the gums caused by bacteria in the oral cavity. The gums change in texture and color, becoming soft and purple. Each brushing will cause bleeding and pain. Swollen gums, sensitivity and bleeding are therefore the first signs of periodontal disease.
Here may be other symptoms:
- Itching;
- Halitosis (bad breath);
- Discomfort from cold or hot food or drink.
In an extremely advanced stage of periodontal disease, pus pockets can form between the bone and the tooth. These lead, over time, to the expulsion of teeth from the tooth sockets.
The main cause of periodontitis is tartar. It is a consequence of poor dental hygiene. To prevent tartar, brush your teeth at least twice a day. The bacterial plaque that accumulates on the surface of tooth structures forms tartar, which settles under the gum, causing inflammation and bleeding.
In addition, there are a number of factors that favor the development of periodontitis:
- Smoking;
- Genetic predisposition;
- Poor nutrition;
- Certain medications: birth control, heart medications, antidepressants, steroids;
- Chronic stress;
- Bruxism (teeth grinding);
- Hormonal disorders.
As with any disease, prevention is far better than treatment. Prevention against periodontal disease is a multiple cost-saving - financially, temporally and psychologically.
There are three simple steps to prevent periodontitis:
Proper dental hygiene. This involves:
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day;
- Regularly replace your toothbrush with a new one;
- Use a toothpaste containing ingredients with antibacterial and antiseptic properties;
- Using mouthwash.
Regular visits to the dentist. These routine check-ups are aimed at maintaining oral health and preventing the onset of various conditions, as well as treating them in their early stages.
Adopt as healthy a lifestyle as possible, which involves both healthy nutrition and avoiding stress.
Periodontology is the specialization of dentistry that deals with the study of the entire system of maintaining dental structures in the jawbone. The most effective solution for periodontal disease is prevention, as treatment is costly and painful, requiring local anesthesia.
Endodontics, root canal treatment
Most of the time, people come to the dentist rather late, preferring to postpone their visit to the dentist's office, so that only the pain convinces them to seek help. The pain is a sign that bacteria have reached the area where the nerve is located, which is why inflammation occurs. Correct endodontic treatment removes the bacteria and gives the body a chance to rebuild the affected tissue. We are waiting for you at Clinica Pasindora - Vâlcea dental office - to enjoy a beautiful and healthy smile.
Endodontics materialized as a branch of dentistry about 50 years ago. This specialization aims to prevent, diagnose and treat conditions arising from the soft tissue inside the tooth.
The endodontist performs root canal treatments, which aim to keep the natural teeth healthy so that the patient can enjoy them for as long as possible. The treatments consist of disinfecting the affected canals and thus eliminating the pain caused by pulpal inflammation, which reacts to hot, cold, sweet or sour.
The endodontist is the person who specializes in endodontics, i.e. who has undergone additional training in this field. By contrast, the dentist covers a broad range of activities, being a generalist. Of course, the dentist can also carry out endodontic treatments, but the specialized dentist is also able to deal with complex cases in this segment of dentistry.
What are the stages of endodontic treatment?
Endodontic treatment has three main stages:
- Root canal preparation - is the first and most important stage, and all subsequent treatment is influenced by it;
- Removing the nerve - The process is carried out using several substances at different stages, each with a particular role in disinfecting the root canal;
- Root canal filling - At this stage, the root canal is sealed using a special paste and gutta-percha, either by the traditional method or using the 3D technique.
The fear of pain is natural and that is why we want to give our patients the most pleasant experience at Pasindora. The entire treatment will be performed under anesthesia, which means there will be no pain. However, following the treatment, you may experience some slight pain, discomfort.
It is important that, after endodontic treatment, the treated tooth is not stressed - no chewing or biting food with it. Moreover, it is necessary to restore the tooth as quickly as possible following root canal treatment to avoid complications and additional pain.
Orthodontics - Dental braces
Straight teeth are a standard of beauty for many people. However, correctly aligned teeth are not just for aesthetics, but also for health. Over crowded teeth, incorrect occlusions and other abnormalities developed in childhood or inherited genetically can affect the health of the teeth as a whole. The orthodontist can provide diagnosis and treatment for children as well as adults with problems related to tooth positioning and alignment.
Orthodontics is a subclass of dentistry that deals with the treatment of teeth that have an incorrect shape and position. This problem is common among children and adolescents, and the lack of orthodontic treatment can affect the health of teeth, gums, temporomandibular joints and even the digestive tract. The person who assesses the position and shape of the teeth in the arches, applies treatment and monitors its effects is called an orthodontist.
The timing of the first visit to the orthodontist is different from the visit to the dentist. The latter is recommended when the child is one year old or when the first baby tooth appears. On the other hand, orthodontists can assess patients from the age of seven - the best time to start orthodontic treatment. Of course, treatment can also start later, but there are many advantages to starting at a later age, such as the speed of results and the long-lasting effect of the treatment.
Visits to the dentist should be made regularly, about six months apart. This way, any dental problems can be detected early. In other words, the need for orthodontic treatment can be assessed by the dentist at the right time.
Situations the doctor may notice are:
- Crowded teeth - when teeth do not have enough room on the dental arch;
- Spaced teeth - when teeth do not complete the dental arch or when a tooth has fallen out or has been removed;
- Dental occlusion incorrect (incorrect bite):
- vertical overocclusion – when the upper teeth considerably exceed the level of the lower teeth, covering them completely;
- reverse occlusion – when the upper teeth are too far back or when the lower teeth are too far forward;
- open occlusion open – when a space is formed between the front or side teeth;
- midline malocclusion – when the center of the lower front teeth is not aligned with the center of the upper front teeth.
Therefore, orthodontic treatment is indicated when harmonizing the physiognomy, straightening and correcting the teeth, as well as when correcting the bite of the teeth is desired.
There are also obvious signs that indicate the need for orthodontic treatment – signs that can also be noticed by the patient.
These are:
- when the child sucks his finger;
- when the teeth are visibly crooked or crowded;
- when there are difficulties in chewing and biting;
- when the jaw makes an unusual sound;
- when the jaw or teeth are not in harmony with the physiognomy of the face.
