Whitening is the cosmetic procedure of making your teeth “whiter” through the application of bleach. In most cases, this process makes the teeth several shades lighter, but may not result in a pure white color. There are multiple ways to do whitening, either through a laser in the clinic or through the application of a gel.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a natural mineral that builds strong teeth and prevents cavities. It supports healthy tooth enamel and fights the bacteria that harm teeth and gums. If you are suffering from low fluoride, the dentist may recommend treatment in the form of highly concentrated rinse, foam, gel, or varnish.
Restorative Procedure
A restorative procedure in dentistry refers to treatments that aim to restore the function, integrity, and appearance of teeth and oral structures. Common restorative procedures include dental fillings, crowns, bridges, and dental implants. These treatments are used to repair damaged or decayed teeth, replace missing teeth, and improve overall oral health.
Oral Prophylaxis
Oral prophylaxis, commonly known as dental cleaning, is a preventive dental procedure that involves the thorough cleaning of teeth and gums to maintain oral health and prevent dental issues. During this procedure, a dentist removes plaque, calculus, and stains from the teeth. The cleaning process helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems.
