Pediatric Dentistry
Baby teeth set the foundation for healthy permanent teeth. It is important to keep the teeth clean and teach children to brush and floss.
Dental visits have to be early and frequent to monitor the development of the teeth. The baby teeth serve as placeholders for the permanent teeth. Sealants are a thin coating placed on the biting surfaces of the back teeth to prevent cavities.
Routine professional cleaning and fluoride treatment are essential to ensure a life time of healthy teeth.
Periodontal Disease
Gum disease is the inflammation or infection that attacks the gums and bone that hold your teeth in place.
Gum disease can be treated in ways ranging from cleaning to surgery but it can be prevented altogether by regular brushing, flossing and professional cleaning.
Various periodontal treatments include Scaling, Deep Cleaning, Root Planing, Flap surgery, Bone and Soft Tissue Grafting (Regeneration).
Lasers are frequently used in treating gum diseases.

Laser Dentistry
Painless dentistry has entered a new era with Lasers. An amplified high energy light source replaces the dental drill and scalpel which patients have feared for many years. At Vedha Dental, we use Dental lasers for the following applications:
Implant surgeries
Removal of tooth decay
Gum Lightening
Gum Reshaping
Biopsies
Disinfection during Root
Canal Therapy
Speed up healing of mouth ulcers
As patients typically feel less pain with Lasers when compared to the drill, little or no anesthesia is needed when a laser is used. If you hate the sound of the dental drill, you will love the laser.
The use of the Dental laser depends on your clinical situation, and your eligibility for its use will be determined at the time of treatment planning.
Full Mouth Rehabilitation
When there are several problems in a single case, a team of specialists work together to restore the function and appearance of the teeth. This full mouth rehabilitation is highly successful with our careful planning and treatment sequencing. The cosmetic dentist works along with the periodontists, orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeon to provide a stunning SMILE MAKEOVER.
Crowns & Bridges
Crowns are used to cover teeth that are weakened by decay, severely damaged, chipped or discolored. They are also usually required after Root Canal Therapy. The tooth is shaped to support the crown. The crowns can be metal containing or metal-free. Zirconia crowns, popularly known as All Ceramic or Metal-free crowns are sued with Computer Aided Technology for the highest level of precision and accuracy.
Dentures
Dentures are sets of artificial teeth set into plastic frameworks that rest directly on the gums. Partial dentures are used for people with several teeth missing, while complete dentures are used when people have lost all their upper or lower teeth. 3-5 visits are required and several visits to make adjustments may be necessary, the comfort of dentures can be greatly improved by integrating them with implants.
Oral Surgery
Oral surgery procedures such as Tooth extraction, Impactions (Wisdom teeth), Cyst removals, Orthognathic surgery (Jaw repositioning), Bone grafting, Sinus Augmentation are being regularly done either under general or local anaesthesia or conscious sedation.
Dental Implants
Titanium implants serve as the artificial root in the jaw to support crowns and dentures. When teeth are missing in the jaw, fixed artificial teeth can be provided by inserting titanium implants which serve as the tooth or foundation for the teeth. These implants provide a very stable support to help restore function and appearance. The implants are placed in the clinic under local anaesthetic and after a period of healing the artificial teeth are fabricated. Implants are used in combinations with bridges, dentures or crowns to replace any number of missing teeth.
Orthodontics
Orthodontics refers to the use of wires to align crooked or crowded teeth and to close gaps between teeth. Though Orthodontics can be started at any age, it is strongly advised to bring your child for a checkup anytime after 6 years of age, since many adult dental problems can be avoided by early orthodontics. Adults can also have their teeth straightened as orthodontics is not limited to children. Newer types of braces allow the placement of wires behind the teeth called LINGUAL ORTHODONTICS.
Bonding
Our mission is to deliver high quality dental care with emphasis on an integrated, multidisciplinary comprehensive approach to dental problems. We have established a reputation as a center of excellence and learning through Continuing Education.
Laminates
These are thin ceramic shells bonded on to the surfaces of prepared teeth. These veneers can correct or camouflage severe discoloration, chipped teeth, gaps between teeth and malpositioned teeth. 2 or 3 visits are all it takes for a complete Smile Makeover. Veneers are much more durable and esthetic than bonding. Veneers can only be done when there is adequate natural tooth structure remaining.
Teeth Whitening / Bleaching
Bleaching is the simplest way to brighten your smile. Surface stains caused by food can be removed to reveal a glowing smile.
In the BRITESMILE technique a bleaching solution is applied to the stained teeth and activated with heat of light in the dental clinic. Alternatively, bleaching gel is provided to you to be used with a tray at home.
Your teeth can become 5-6 shades lighter. Depending on your lifestyle, you may need to bleach periodically. |
