Disease Solutions
We endeavor to give you the greatest service and treatment possible at 20 l 32 Dental Studio. Our dental disease management dentists combine specialized training, cutting-edge technology, and years of experience to provide you with high-quality care at a reasonable cost. We provide the following services to our clients:
Fillings:
Used to fix fractured or broken teeth, as well as overuse caused by nail-biting or tooth grinding. The cavities are addressed by eliminating decay and filling them with a composite material (white fillings).
Root Canal Therapy:
Broken or infected teeth are treated with root canal therapy which
involves nerve removal. Root canal therapy is completed within two
visits.
- In your first visit, we will take all necessary x-rays, decay removal,
and nerve tissue cleansing from canals on your initial visit, as well
as all necessary measurements before applying a temporary filling. - As for your second visit, it will include finalizing the canal shaping
and filling canals with a thermoplastic filling material.
Extractions:
In severe cases of broken or infected teeth, the only option we have
is to undergo a complete teeth removal.
Deep or Superficial Cleanings With Scaling and Root Planning
Gum diseases are treated with scaling and root planning.
After a thorough evaluation of the gums and bones surrounding
teeth, we can advise whether the client requires a deep cleaning or
not. Deep cleaning is necessary in case of periodontitis diagnosis.
Periodontitis can be classified as mild, moderate, or severe depending
on the following signs and symptoms:
- Inflamed gums: Tender, swollen, or red
- Bleeding gums
- Gum recession
- Bone loss (seen on x rays)
- Mobility on teeth
- Bad breath
Temporomandibular disorder (TMJ) Management:
TMJ is the joint that controls chewing and links the lower jaw to the
skull.
Treatments for jaw pain, teeth grinding or clenching, and joint
clicking include:
- mouth guards to release pressure in the jaw joint
- Or, Botox therapy to help relax the tense muscles
Making the appropriate treatment selection will help you improve
your oral health.
