Did You Know Some Dentists Offer These 5 Dental Treatments?

Nowadays, there are many dental treatments available that can be used to address a wide range of oral health issues. People no longer have to settle for missing, broken, or otherwise damaged teeth. Regardless of the condition of your teeth, there is a dental treatment that can restore your smile.

Here are 5 dental treatments you can get from Titan Dental Care:

1. Fillings

Since tooth decay is one of the most common dental diseases people deal with, fillings are the first line of defense when it comes to dealing with them. A filling is a material that is used to fill up the hole created by a cavity. While the filling material is soft during the application to your tooth, it eventually hardens and allows you to regain the tooth's function.

2. Root canals

Root canals are typically used to address tooth infections. When a cavity is left unaddressed, it can eventually reach the pulp and nerve of the tooth, leaving it exposed. When this happens, the tooth can easily become infected.

Once a tooth becomes infected, there are typically only two options. You can have the tooth removed, or save the tooth with a root canal procedure.

Tooth extractions are typically cheaper than root canals, but you'll then have to deal with all the issues associated with missing teeth or spend lots of money on an implant. A root canal is the cheaper way to deal with an infected tooth when you look at the big picture.

3. Teeth whitening

There are many teeth whitening products that you can purchase at a local grocery store, but nothing compares to getting a teeth whitening procedure from a dentist. Your dentist has access to significantly more powerful bleaching agents that are not sold to the public.

This means you will have significantly whiter teeth after a single whitening session with your dentist, while you would typically have to wait at least three weeks to see results from over-the-counter whitening products.

4. Veneers

Veneers are one of the tools your dentist can use to restore your smile if you have badly-discolored or stained teeth that cannot lighten with bleaching agents. A veneer is a thin film-like device that serves as a mask for the front of your real teeth, covering any stains and discoloration on it.

Veneers do not just help you to cover up damaged teeth, these devices also make it a lot easier for you to keep your teeth white since they usually consist of porcelain or ceramic – materials that are highly resistant to staining.

5. Dental cleanings

This is one of the most commonly performed procedures by dentists, yet many people do not get their teeth professionally cleaned at least twice a year. During the procedure, Titan Dental Care scrapes off hardened tartar on your teeth. This tartar is responsible for most of the decay that occurs in your mouth. After the cleaning, they will give you a fluoride treatment which protects your teeth from decay for months.
