Oral Prophylaxis SINGLE VISIT

Oral prophylaxis is a preventive dental procedure aimed at maintaining optimal oral hygiene and preventing gum disease. It involves the thorough removal of plaque, calculus (tartar), and surface stains from the teeth areas that routine brushing and flossing often miss.

During the procedure, a dentist or hygienist uses ultrasonic scalers and fine hand instruments to clean above and slightly below the gum line. This is typically followed by polishing with a mildly abrasive paste to smoothen tooth surfaces, making it harder for plaque to reattach. In some cases, fluoride may be applied to strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity.

Regular oral prophylaxis plays a crucial role in preventing conditions like gingivitis (early gum inflammation) and periodontitis (advanced gum disease that can lead to tooth loss). It also helps in early detection of dental issues such as cavities, worn restorations, or oral lesions.

The procedure is generally painless, though patients with sensitive teeth or inflamed gums may experience mild discomfort, which is temporary. Post-cleaning, teeth often feel smoother, look brighter, and overall oral freshness is noticeably improved.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How often is oral prophylaxis/scaling required?

It is essential that you visit the dentist at least every six months. This adds up to two visits per year which are enough for a dentist to identify teeth or gum problems and rectify them ASAP.

2. Will the procedure hurt?

Teeth cleaning procedure involves the removal of plaque and tartar, which are layers of germs adhering to the surface of the teeth. There will be absolutely no digging, excavating or drilling of teeth or surrounding structures. You may feel a bit of sensitivity which will be taken care of by your dentist with a mild surface anaesthetic.

3. How many visits does it require for the complete procedure?

The number of visits are determined by the severity of the problem. If you have mild to moderate accumulation of plaque or tartar with early stages of gingivitis, your teeth can be cleaned in a single visit. But, if there is extensive tartar build up accompanied by severe gingivitis or periodontitis, it may take two or more appointments to eliminate the problem.

4. What steps are involved in teeth cleaning ?

• Scaling – Specialized cleaning instruments are used to gently break down the plaque or tartar deposits without causing damage to the soft gums. These instruments use ultrasonic vibration to loosen and fragment the hard deposits sticking to the teeth surface. Water is sprayed to wash away the debris.
• Polishing – Once complete elimination of tartar deposits is achieved, special prophylactic pastes are applied to the tooth surfaces and polished with rubber cups and polishing brushes attached to a handpiece. Polishing helps to remove superficial stains and render the surface smooth which also prevents debris from attaching to the teeth afterwards.

5. Now that my teeth are cleaned, do I really need to floss?

Yes, yes and yes! Flossing helps to remove the food particles stuck between the teeth. These food particles are the primary source of nutrition for the harmful oral germs through which they can decay teeth or cause gum diseases. Flossing may be hard to master initially and of course is very boring but a few minutes of trouble can help you far in the long term.

Dental Filling SINGLE VISIT

Tooth Filling or Cavity Filling, is a treatment modality used to address tooth decay and structural damage issues. This procedure involves filling missing or decayed tooth structures with different materials. Tooth cavity filling improves the function of the teeth, strengthens weakened teeth, and preserves tooth structure.

The tooth structure is usually destroyed due to tooth decay or trauma. A Dental Filling helps to fill this gap and protect it from further decay. It is also used to repair broken or cracked teeth that can wear off because of dental habits like teeth grinding and nail-biting.

Filling materials can include Composite, Ceramic, GIC, etc., used to even out tooth surfaces for better functionality, including biting or chewing.

What can i expect when i come for Fillings?

Pain-Free Comfort

Local anesthesia administered for a pain-free experience

Decay Removal

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What material do dental fillings consist of?

• Gold and Porcelain
• Silver Amalgam – consists of mercury with tin, zinc, silver, and copper
• Composite Resin Fillings – consist of Tooth-colored plastic
• GIC – Contains Acrylic and Glass Material

2. Why or when would a Dental Filling need to be replaced?

Dental fillings should be replaced when they become discoloured, making them aesthetically undesirable. They are also replaced in case of secondary caries that occur underneath the Filling. In some instances, Amalgam fillings can cause allergic reactions, so they should be replaced with other materials.

3. What’s it Like After Getting a Filling?

The patient may experience differences initially after getting a filling, but it will slowly subside away with time after proper occlusal adjustments.

4. The patient may experience differences initially after getting a filling, but it will slowly subside away with time after proper occlusal adjustments. How long does a dental filling last?

Dental Fillings’ longevity depends on the material used and how well you care for them. Generally, they last 10 to 20 years.

5. Can a dental filling fall off?

Yes, but the chances are rare for teeth filling to fall off.

6. Why do I feel pain around my Dental Filling?

Short-term sensitivity can be caused after the Filling, which will go away within a few days. If it doesn’t subside, you should visit your dentist, this may occur when the filling material was not compacted properly leading to marginal leakage.

ExtractionsSINGLE VISIT

It is a routine, minimally invasive procedure commonly performed for teeth that are severely decayed, mobile due to gum disease, fractured beyond repair, or causing crowding.

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia to ensure complete patient comfort. Once the area is numb, the tooth is gently loosened using specialised instruments (elevators) and then removed using forceps. Care is taken to preserve surrounding bone and soft tissue, making the process atraumatic and controlled.

Recovery is typically straightforward. Patients may experience mild discomfort or swelling for a day or two, which is manageable with prescribed medication. A blood clot forms in the extraction site, which is essential for proper healing, so patients are advised to avoid vigorous rinsing, smoking, or using straws immediately after the procedure.

Emphasis is placed on precision, sterility, and patient reassurance throughout the process. When indicated, replacement options such as implants, bridges, or prostheses are discussed to restore function and aesthetics following extraction.

Overall, non-surgical extractions are safe, efficient, and form a foundational component of comprehensive dental care.
