Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a popular choice for restoring cavities while maintaining a natural appearance. Made from a blend of resins, these fillings blend seamlessly with your tooth color, making them ideal for visible areas like the front teeth. They are durable, long-lasting, and provide a comfortable fit, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and functionality. Tooth-colored fillings are a reliable and discreet solution for dental restorations.

Straighten Your Smile Using Traditional Orthodontic Treatment Metal braces are a very effective, affordable option for aligning, crowding, or spacing your teeth, and they are available at Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, Mogappair. Metal braces continue to be one of the most common orthodontic treatments for teenagers and adults who want predictable results and very precise movements of their teeth. How Do Metal Braces Work? In metal braces, premium stainless steel brackets made with a dental-grade adhesive are bonded to the center of each tooth; these brackets usually contain 304-grade stainless steel. Important components of metal braces include: - Archwire : Temperature sensitive wires that follow the shape of the mouth and adjust to body heat, which in turn guides the teeth into place. - **Metal ties -** Or elastic ties to hold the archwire in place within the brackets. - **Appointments with the orthodontist -** To “adjust” their braces to establish progression and to ensure teeth are moving as planned. When these components work together, they will slowly create a healthier, straighter position of the teeth. Are braces visible? While traditional metal braces are noticeable, bear in mind they are smaller than braces traditionally are, more comfortable than they have ever been, and more effective than ever. You can also choose tooth-colored ceramic brackets, which are harder to distinguish from your natural teeth if you'd prefer a more subtle appearance. Why opt for metal braces? ✅ Time-tested results for mild, moderate, or complex misalignments, longitudinals, and things you may not be aware of yet! ✅ Cost effective compared to clear aligners. ✅ Durable and robust enough to suit the needs of active lifestyles. ✅ Suitable for children, teens, and adults. ✅ Can be easily combined with alternative orthodontic appliances, as clinically required.

Retreatment of Root Canal Failure in Mogappair – Save Your Tooth at Smile and Glow Root canal treatment is designed to be permanent. However, this is not always the case. A tooth that has been previously treated may still hurt due to developing an infection that may not have been seen earlier or technical limitations with the initial root canal. The good news is that at Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, Mogappair, we specialize in the retreatment of failed root canals using the latest microscopic techniques to preserve and restore your natural tooth. What causes root canal treatment to fail? Even if the original treatment was done correctly, there are numerous factors that may lead to reinfection or a delayed healing response. • Missed canal- There may have been a hidden or extra canal present during the initial treatment. • Improper cleaning- The canal may not have been cleaned or sealed completely. • Too long of a delay between treatment and the placement of the crown- The oral environment established seal failures around the crown of the tooth, therefore allowed bacteria back into it. • Complex root anatomy- The shape of the canal may have been too curved or narrow and therefore may not have received proper cleaning. These problems can lead to symptoms that include: • Persistent pain or sensitivity in the tooth that was treated • Tenderness when chewing or tapping the tooth • Swelling in the area of the gums, face, or neck • A pimple-like bump or sinus tract on the gums (indicating a pus pathway) • A bad taste or foul breath from infection ________________________________________ Can Retreatment Really Happen? Yes—a failed root canal absolutely can be retreated. Using advanced equipment such as a dental operating microscopes and the knowledge and skills of our expert endodontists, it is possible for us to fully clean the tooth, properly seal it, and keep it for the long haul. ________________________________________ Retreatment at Smile and Glow 1. Re-accessing the Tooth The treated tooth is re-accessed by removing the crown or filling. 2. Removal of Old Root Canal Materials The old filling materials are removed to access the canal system. 3. Evaluation Under Microscope We will look for missed canals, unusual anatomy, or areas of reinfection using a dental microscope. 4. Deep Cleaning and Shaping In this step, the canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected—the full length of each root. 5. Sealing Your Tooth The root canals are tightly sealed (obturated) to prevent future reinfection. 6. Restoration A quality filling or crown will be placed on the tooth, protecting it and restoring function. ________________________________________ Why Choose Smile and Glow for Retreatments? • Experienced Micro-Endodontic Specialists We use dental microscopes to find and treat teeth with the most difficult and complex root canal challenges. • Better Success Rates Most retreated but suitably treated teeth heal completely and last many years with adequate sealing. • Patient Focused Practice We focus on your comfort, while minimizing discomfort, and providing honest and straightforward recommendations for doing what is best for your tooth. ________________________________________ Don't Rush in for Extraction – Let Us Help You Save Your Tooth Just because of a failed root canal, does not mean your tooth is a failure.
