Introduction
A healthy smile is more than just an aesthetic asset it’s a sign of good oral and overall health. Yet, many people avoid visiting the dentist until discomfort or damage becomes noticeable. At Archak Dental Clinic, we believe that understanding common dental treatments helps patients feel more confident about their oral care journey. Here’s a simple guide to the most common dental treatments and how they help maintain strong, healthy teeth.
1. Dental Cleaning and Polishing
Professional cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains that regular brushing can’t eliminate. Regular scaling and polishing not only keep your teeth looking bright but also prevent gum disease and bad breath. We recommend a cleaning session every six months for optimal oral hygiene.
2. Dental Fillings
Cavities and minor tooth damage can weaken teeth over time. Fillings restore the tooth’s shape and function while preventing further decay. At Archak Dental Clinic, we use tooth-coloured, long-lasting filling materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a clean and comfortable finish.
3. Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
When tooth decay reaches the inner pulp, it can cause pain and infection. Root canal treatment removes the damaged tissue, cleans the root canal, and seals it to prevent reinfection. This treatment saves your natural tooth and eliminates the need for extraction, restoring comfort and normal chewing ability.
4. Dental Crowns and Bridges
Crowns are used to strengthen weak or damaged teeth, while bridges replace one or more missing teeth. Made from durable and aesthetic materials, these restorations restore both function and appearance. Properly fitted crowns and bridges can last for many years with good care.
5. Dental Implants
Implants are one of the most reliable ways to replace missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post inserted into the jawbone that acts as a root, topped with a natural-looking crown. Implants help maintain bone health, improve speech, and restore your smile’s natural appearance and confidence.
6. Teeth Whitening
Over time, teeth can become discoloured due to food, drinks, and lifestyle habits. Professional whitening treatments can safely remove stains and brighten your teeth several shades lighter in just one session, giving you a fresh and radiant smile.
7. Smile Designing and Veneers
For patients looking to enhance the look of their smile, smile designing and veneers offer a perfect solution. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells placed on the front surface of the teeth to correct imperfections such as discolouration, chips, or gaps. This treatment delivers a symmetrical and natural-looking smile makeover.
8. Gum Treatments
Healthy gums are essential for strong teeth. If you experience swelling, bleeding, or sensitivity, gum treatment may be necessary to prevent or control periodontal disease. Our clinic provides advanced gum care procedures that help restore gum health and prevent tooth loss.
9. Full Mouth Rehabilitation
For patients with multiple dental issues, full mouth rehabilitation combines various treatments — such as implants, crowns, bridges, and alignment corrections — to restore complete oral function. It’s a comprehensive, customised plan designed to rebuild your smile and confidence.
10. Preventive Dental Care
Regular check-ups, cleanings, and early detection of dental issues are key to preventing major oral health problems. At Archak Dental Clinic, we emphasise prevention through education, routine visits, and personalised advice to maintain a healthy mouth for life.
