Welcome to Crowns and Roots Dental Solutions

Root Canal Treatment: (Endodontic treatment)
Root canal treatment is an often straightforward procedure to relieve dental pain and save your teeth. Patients typically need a root canal when there is inflammation or infection in the roots of a tooth.

Modern RCT is nothing like those old sayings! Many people worry that a root canal will be painful, something that was true in the past. Today, with advanced anesthesia options and techniques - a root canal is as comfortable as getting a filling and can usually be completed in one or two appointments, depending on the condition of your tooth. Getting a root canal is relatively painless and extremely effective. You’ll be back to smiling, biting and chewing with ease in no time.

Smile Designing
Are you bothered by the way your teeth are aligned? Or the gaps between them? Smile designing is the answer to your worries then. It involves various procedures such as braces, composite build-ups, implants, veneers etc.

Typically, we take your ‘before’ pictures and impressions; after which a virtual setup is made to show you how you would look with the new smile. We can also show you the results expected ‘after’ the treatment straight into your mouth. This helps you decide which would be the most suitable treatment option for you.

Dr. Harsh and Dr. Jigna both have a keen interest in cosmetic dentistry and all basic and advanced cosmetic procedures are carried out at Crowns and Roots itself. Dr. Harsh has been awarded accreditation of the Indian Academy of Aesthetic and Cosmetic Dentistry.

So if you’re looking at getting a great smile, call us up.

Dentures
We provide replacement of missing teeth in the form of removable complete or partial dentures. Also offered are Implant retained overdentures, which provide improved fit and retention.

Dentures typically take multiple appointments to ensure success. Don’t be worried about missing teeth now, as dentures are for everyone. Whether you have some, or all of your teeth missing, we can suggest the best dentures for you.

Dental Extractions
Extraction of teeth is the process of removing teeth which cannot be saved with treatment. This is generally the last treatment choice.

We may advise one or more of your teeth to be extracted in the following circumstances:

• Large decay which also involves the roots of the tooth
• Malpositioned tooth
• Trauma to teeth, causing fracture
• Impacted tooth (mostly wisdom teeth)
• Extraction required as part of orthodontic treatment (braces)
• Poor periodontal health, including gum disease
• Small tooth fragments left behind while most of the tooth is broken

Dental Implants
Dental Implants are tooth-like structures, artificial made out of medical-grade titanium.

Implants have become the No. 1 choice to replace missing teeth due to the following advantages:

• Most similar to natural teeth
• Fixed
• Minimum maintenance and replacement
• Maximum comfort
• No movement while chewing food
• No need to involve any healthy adjacent teeth

Children’s Dentistry
Why milk teeth are important?

• They help him or her chew
• Help to develop speech
• Give a healthy smile
• Help maintain the child’s confidence
• They hold space in the jaws for permanent teeth that are growing under the gums
• When a baby tooth is lost too early, the permanent teeth can drift into the empty space and make it difficult for other adult teeth to find room when they come in. This can make teeth crooked or crowded

Crowns And Bridges
Bridges and Crowns are fixed prosthetic devices that are cemented onto existing teeth or implants by a dentist. Crowns are used most commonly to entirely cover or "cap" a damaged tooth or cover an implant. Bridges are commonly used to cover a space if you're missing one or more teeth. Both crowns and bridges are cemented onto existing teeth or implants which can be removed only by a dentist. It is not like other removable devices such as dentures, which can be taken out and clean daily by you.

Crowns may be used to protect a decayed tooth, strengthen teeth, restore a broken tooth or to replace a missing tooth. Dental crowns and bridges can be made of metal, gold, ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, zirconia, glass ceramics etc.

Orthodontics
Orthodontics also known as orthodontia and dentofacial orthopedics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the correction of teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly.

Orthodontic treatment straightens teeth that may be crooked or forwardly placed. It can be done at all ages but if done at a growing age, it can correct the disproportionate jaw relationships improving facial appearance. The treatment takes about a year and can be done using metal, tooth colored (ceramic) or lingual braces. Invisible & removable braces, termed as aloghners are also available now for those who are conscious about their looks.

Orthodontic treatment can vary from simple cases which only take months to treat, to very difficult ones which may take a couple of years,depending on the complexity of the case but the benefits of having an expert provide your orthodontic care will be well worth it.

Crooked teeth and teeth that are malaligned are harder to keep clean, and thus they are at risk of being lost early due to tooth decay or subsequent periodontal disease, and such malallignment can cause extra stress on the masticatory (chewing) muscles that can lead to headaches, neck pain , jaw pain , and temporomandibular joint disorders.

Our team of dentists and specialized orthodontists can determine whether you can benefit from such treatment. A proper evaluation is carried out based on various diagnostic tools which include a full medical history, a dental clinical examination, study models of your teeth, full mouth x-rays, skeletal x-rays along with intraoral and extraoral photographs, all of which will help us develop a treatment plan that's right for you.

If you have any of the following, you may be a candidate for orthodontic treatment:

• Increased Overjet and overbite - where the upper front teeth are too far forward over the lower teeth or too far overlapping.
• Underbite - where the lower teeth are too far forward or the upper teeth too far back.
• Crossbite - when the lower teeth come forward and overlap the upper teeth keeping them behind the lower teeth.
• Open bite - space between the biting surfaces of the front and/or side teeth
. • Habits –Snoring, mouth breathing, grinding, thumb sucking, speech problems, lip biting which affect the teeth and associated facial structures.

Things to Remember
1. No Visits = No Monitoring = No Good !
The reality is that the health of your gums, teeth and jaws cannot be monitored during treatment if you are never seen by a qualified orthodontist. Even the most carefully planned treatments need to be closely monitored to ensure that your treatment stays on a proper timeline, should a problem arise or a mid-course treatment correction is needed it is addressed immediately.The good news is that today’s technology has allowed patients to extend intervals between appointments to as long as 8 to 10 weeks.

• Orthodontic treatment is NOT purely cosmetic !
There’s much more to orthodontic treatment than meets the eye. An improved appearance is the most obvious result. But when teeth and jaws are in alignment, it means function (biting, chewing, speaking) is improved, too – a dual treatment benefit!

• Orthodontic treatment is not just for children !
Patients of all ages, young and old, can benefit from orthodontic treatment. Age is not a concern when it comes to getting a healthy, beautiful smile.Increasing number of adults are now opting for orthodontic treatments to improve their appearance and increase their functionality both of which helps take their confidence to a whole new level.

• Orofacial and Myofunctional Disorders :
These can also be solved with certain removable orthodontic appliances which can be used at an early age to reduce the requirement of fixed orthodontic treatments at a later date.As they say preventive is always better than curative treatment.

The field of orthodontia has revolutionized drastically in the last few years.Increasing number of products and treatment options are now available which have reduced treatment time , are more patient compliant and cause little to no discomfort to the patients.It is imperative then that you choose an Orthodontist that is well trained and up to date with the most recent and latest advances in technology and equipment to get the best treatment possible.

Teeth Whitening
Tooth whitening can be a very effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surface.

Good to know:

• It cannot make a complete colour change, but it may lighten the existing shade.
• The colour change typically lasts from several months to a couple of years
• You may require touch-ups to maintain maximum brightness
• Teeth whitening may cause transient tooth sensitivity which can be managed

Teeth whitening could be a valuable gift to yourself or your loved ones just before social functions or important career milestones.
