Common Types of Dental Procedures

Posted on 9/11/2023 by Evan

Good oral hygiene contributes to a healthy mouth. However, due to the daily diet, age, and bacteria in the mouth, oral issues will likely occur at some point in your life. Some dental problems come and clear on their own, but others require the skills of a professional dentist. Depending on your oral issues, a dentist may suggest dental procedures such as:

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a solution to various dental conditions. It helps to correct imperfections such as cracked, broken, and stained teeth. It also helps to fix gaps between the teeth and treat teeth that appear smaller than others. This procedure involves a composite resin applied to the tooth surface to improve its function and appearance. The material used resembles the color of the teeth. Thus, it looks natural.

Teeth Cleaning

Teeth cleaning is a common reason why people schedule dental appointments. Some visit the dentist for plaque and tartar removal, while others view dental visits as part of their dental care routine. Either way, dental visits help to improve oral health. In addition to deep cleaning, regular dental appointments allow a professional to detect oral issues. This prevents severe complications that could hurt your oral health.

Teeth Whitening

Lifestyle, age, diet, and enamel loss are the leading causes of tooth discoloration. Discolored teeth are common in children and adults, and because no one would like to show their stained teeth, many visit a dentist for teeth whitening. In-office teeth whitening is quicker and safe. It also eliminates complications such as teeth sensitivity caused by over-the-counter whitening kits.

Tooth Extraction

While you may want to save your natural teeth, some conditions may force you to remove the tooth. For instance, a damaged tooth that is beyond repair can only be fixed through tooth extraction. Tooth extraction involves removing the roots and crown to alleviate pain and prevent the spread of infections.
