Tooth Extraction and Minor Surgeries

At Dental Oasis, we offer gingivectomy as a periodontal treatment to address certain gum-related concerns. A gingivectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at removing or reshaping gum tissue. It is typically performed to treat conditions such as:

Excess Gum Tissue: In cases where the gum tissue extends too far over the teeth, a gingivectomy can be performed to remove the excess gum tissue and create a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing gum line.

Gum Disease: If gum disease has progressed and caused deep pockets to form between the gums and teeth, a gingivectomy can be performed to access and remove the infected gum tissue, promoting gum health and reducing the depth of the pockets.

Cosmetic Purposes: Some individuals may opt for a gingivectomy to improve the appearance of a "gummy smile" where a significant portion of the gums is visible when smiling.

During a gingivectomy, we will carefully remove the necessary gum tissue using precise surgical techniques. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort.

Flap surgery, also known as periodontal flap surgery or pocket reduction surgery, is a dental procedure performed to treat advanced gum disease (periodontitis) and restore gum health. It involves accessing the roots of the teeth and cleaning the deep pockets of bacteria and debris that have formed due to gum disease.

During flap surgery, small incisions arw made in the gum tissue to create a flap. This flap is then gently lifted, providing access to the tooth roots and underlying bone. The infected tissue is thoroughly cleaned, and any damaged or diseased bone may be reshaped or repaired.

Once the cleaning and necessary treatments are completed, the flap is repositioned and sutured back into place. This helps to reduce pocket depth, eliminate infection, and promote gum tissue reattachment.

Flap surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort during the procedure. Post-operative care instructions are provided to facilitate healing and maintain gum health.

Flap surgery is an effective treatment for advanced gum disease, allowing for the removal of infection and the promotion of gum tissue regeneration. If you are experiencing symptoms of gum disease or have been diagnosed with periodontitis, schedule a consultation at Dental Oasis. Dr. Virag and our experienced team are dedicated to providing comprehensive periodontal care, including flap surgery, to help restore and maintain the health of your gums.

Crown lengthening is a dental procedure performed to expose more of the tooth's structure by removing excess gum tissue or bone. It is typically done for functional or aesthetic purposes. At Dental Oasis, we offer crown lengthening to address various dental concerns.

Functional Crown Lengthening:

When a tooth is decayed, broken, or fractured below the gum line, crown lengthening is performed to expose enough tooth structure for successful restoration, such as placing a dental crown or filling. It can also be performed to create more space between the crown and underlying bone, preventing future gum and bone issues.

Aesthetic Crown Lengthening:

For individuals with a "gummy smile," where excessive gum tissue covers a significant portion of the teeth, crown lengthening can be performed to expose more of the tooth structure, creating a more balanced and attractive smile.

It can also be done to enhance the appearance of irregular gum lines and achieve better symmetry.

During the procedure, the excess gum tissue or bone is gently removed to expose the desired amount of tooth structure. The area is then carefully reshaped and sutured for optimal healing.

If you are in need of a crown lengthening procedure for functional or aesthetic purposes, schedule a consultation at Dental Oasis. Dr. Virag and our experienced team will evaluate your specific needs and provide personalized treatment to achieve optimal oral health and an enhanced smile.

If you've noticed that your gums are swollen it may be a sign of an infected tooth.

Sometimes we can have inflamed gums after flossing or brushing too hard, this is different. The swollen gums will be tender and a bit painful to the touch and will remain swollen.

The darkening of the gums is a sign that the gums are decayed. If there is an infection and the tooth is dying, the gums will begin to decay.

This is a tell-tale sign that you may need a root canal.

The aligners treatment achieves optimal and accurate results in a short period of time. Treatment duration can be shorter compared to conventional fixed orthodontic treatment. Since aligners can be removed during eating, there are no food restrictions and you can have food of your choice during treatment. The amount of force delivered by aligners is calibrated, so treatment with aligners is painless.

Clear aligners are also recommended foruse after you complete your orthodontic treatment. These appliances help to maintain the results you want until your teeth have settled down and finished moving.

Clear aligners

Clear aligners are orthodontic devices that are a transparent, plastic form of dental braces used to adjust teeth.

Treatment begins with taking x-rays and photographs for diagnostic purposes, followed by capturing the patient's bite, teeth, and gums via a bite registration and polyvinyl siloxane impressions or an intra-oral digital scanner. The latter method has greatly increased in popularity in recent years as digital scanning technology has improved. The computerized model suggests stages between the current and desired teeth positions, and aligners are created for each stage. Each aligner is worn for 22 hours a day for one to two weeks.These slowly move the teeth into the position agreed between the orthodontist and the patient. Before starting the treatment, tooth-coloured small tags are placed on some teeth, which help in movement of these teeth. These are called as attachments. Patients are recalled in 2-3 months interval to review the progress of the treatment.

BENEFITS OF CLEAR ALIGNERS

TRANSPARENT The CLEAR ALIGNER splint is clear and transparent, almost invisible which enables youto talk and laugh without restrictions or impediment.

COMFORTABLEThe high-quality splint makes your mouth feel good. It is pleasantly smooth, with no poking braces or wires.

REMOVABLE You can take the aligners out at any time and put them in again quickly and easily, e.g., when eating or cleaning.

HYGIENIC You can easily keep the CLEAR ALIGNER clean, e.g., using toothpaste and tooth brush. Since the aligners can be removed during brushing, maintaining oral hygiene during aligners treatment is never difficult.

EFFECTIVE The aligners treatment achieves optimal and accurate results in a short period of time. Treatment duration can be shorter compared to conventional fixed orthodontic treatment.

AFFORDABLE In many cases, the therapy is more cost effective than other types of treatment for correcting the position of teeth.

NO FOOD RESTRICTIONS Since aligners can be removed before eating, there are no food restrictions and you can have any food of your choice during treatment.

LESS PAINFUL The amount of force delivered by aligners is calibrated, so treatment with aligners is painless.

A chipped or cracked tooth is a two-fold sign of a tooth that may need a root canal. For one, perhaps there was trauma on the tooth that created the chip or crack and has now caused inflamed or infected pulp. Secondly, the tooth may be so far decayed or infected that it is cracked or chipped from being dead. Either way, you'll need likely a root canal to try to save the remainder of the tooth.

If your gums are tender to the touch, or even without touch, you may have root canal pain. When at the dentist, be sure to mention your tender gums.
