Restore Your Smile at Smile and Glow Dental Clinic Do you ever feel self-conscious about your front teeth because they are chipped, discoloured, or uneven? Perhaps you want to transform your smile for your wedding day? Dental veneers provide a long-lasting natural-looking solution for your smile. It does not matter if you have yellow stains, small cracks, uneven shape, or a combination of all three, dental veneers can completely restore the look of your teeth, allowing you to enjoy a beautiful smile once again. What Are Dental Veneers? Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells (laminates) that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are primarily designed for cosmetic corrections- covering teeth that are discoloured, chipped, worn, misaligned, or irregularly shaped.. Veneers can also be used to close small spaces between teeth, especially if traditional orthodontic treatment is not desired. Types of Veneers There are two types of veneers that are commonly used: • Porcelain Veneers (or porcelain laminates): porcelain veneers are well-known for their strength, durability, and natural look. • Composite Veneers: are a more cost-effective option made from tooth-coloured composite resin. Composite veneers take longer to place in-office than porcelain, but they give an acceptable result and may be stained over minor cracks over time. Veneers can be custom-made just for your smile or prefabricated (ready-made). If you choose custom veneers, the dentist will take several measurements to determine the dimensions of your teeth and then fabricate your veneers based on the aesthetics you want with your final smile. Custom dental veneers will usually give you the best results. Advantages of Dental Veneers • Whiten persistently stained or yellow teeth • Repair chips, cracks or worn teeth • Close small gaps between front teeth • Change the shape and size of teeth • correct minor misalignment for a fast result • Change the appearance of a gummy smile • Improve the overall look of your face and smiling confidence • Quick and durable cosmetic solution The veneer process is done at Smile and Glow Dental Clinic. The veneer process begins with a consultation appointment with an aesthetic dentist. They will discuss your smile goals, include photography, and take dental impressions, and finally they will create a preview with a wax mock-up of your teeth and goals. You will have an clear understanding of your new smile even before you start the treatment. In the procedure, a small piece of enamel will be taken away from the surface of the tooth (usually 0.3 to 1 mm) to make space for the veneer. The veneer will then be adhered to the tooth structure using dental cement. Caring for Your Veneers To help care for your veneers and keep your smile looking great at all times please follow: • Brush your teeth at least two times a day using a soft bristle toothbrush • Floss as advised to ensure you do not cause a plaque buildup • Avoid smoking and cut back on drinking foods or drinks that would stain your veneers • Go for your regular dental cleaning and checkups • Use a non-abrasive toothpaste (this will help prevent scratches to the surface of the veneer) Porcelain veneers are highly stain resistant. Composite veneers may discolor over time. This means that proper oral hygiene on a daily basis will contribute to great results in the long run. Hollywood Smile with Veneers Veneer technology is a favorite of Celebrities and commonly referred to as the “Hollywood Smile.” Other popular veneer options for an attractive smile include Lumineers, Componeers, Snap-On Smiles, and Instasmile. Each of these options has different uses to help advance your overall appearance. The dentists at Smile and Glow Dental Clinic will help you decide which option best suits your smile, lifestyle and budget. ____________________________________________________ Are you ready to take advantage of a smile you have always dreamed of having?

For many years removable dentures were the only way to restore a full arch of missing teeth for our patients. Removable dentures often become loose over time because our jawbone is going through resorption or shrinkage from after tooth loss. This is especially true for lower jaw because patients will suffer from painful denture slipping while they are eating or talking, creating discomfort and embarrassment. At Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, Mogappair and Kolathur, we offer implant supported removable dentures. These dentures are extracted from 2 to 4 dental implants anchored into the jawbone. Our patients will surely experience at-home removal and cleaning of their denture while also enjoying the comfort and confidence the prior removable dentures did not give them. ------------------------------------------------------- Why get implant supported dentures? Implant supported dentures offers patients the best of both worlds, implants and dentures, and dramatically improves their quality of life. Patients can eat, speak, smile and be confident without worrying about their dentures moving. ________________________________________ Key Advantages of Implant Supported Dentures • Implants securely anchor the dentures to prevent movement and slipping • Comfortable fit with no painful denture sores or gum irritation • No messy adhesives or pastes required • Very simple and safe surgical procedure with a short recovery time • No palatal coverage, minimizing speech interference • Simple cleaning and maintenance for long-lasting oral health • Cost-effective compared to full fixed implant bridges • Good chewing efficiency for your favorite foods • Complementary to bone preservation, minimizing bone loss ________________________________________ If you are struggling with loose or uncomfortable dentures, implant supported dentures in Chennai at Smile and Glow Dental Clinic could be the answer.

Early childhood caries, also known as nursing bottle caries, is a form of tooth decay affecting infants and toddlers. It occurs when sugary liquids, such as milk, juice, or formula, pool around a child's teeth, especially when they fall asleep with a bottle. The sugars in these liquids feed harmful bacteria, leading to tooth decay. Prevention includes avoiding bottle use during sleep and regular oral hygiene practices.

Dental Implants Single Tooth | Multiple Teeth | Full-Mouth Solutions When it comes to replacing missing teeth, Dental Implants are the most advanced and predictable approach. Made out of biocompatible titanium, dental implants are screw-like structures, inserted surgically in the jawbone, that replicate the root of a tooth. After a few months, the implant fuses with the bone, a process called osseointegration, which provides a solid foundation for crowns, bridges or dentures. Dental implants can replace single or multiple teeth, or can be utilized for full-mouth rehabilitation with an outcome that is functional and aesthetically natural-looking. At Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, we are able to restore your smile with dental implants whether you need one, or you need multiple implants by utilizing established trusted systems that provide precise and successful long-term outcomes. Why Are Dental Implants the Go-to Option? Dental implants have revolutionized the field of restorative dentistry and offer several great benefits: • ✅ Most Like Your Natural Teeth: Dental implants look, function, and feel just like your natural teeth. • ✅ Stops Bone Loss: Bone loss occurs after missing a tooth. Implants stop bone loss by replacing the tooth root and maintaining jaw strength. • ✅ Longevity and Durability: When dental implants are placed correctly and properly maintained, they can last a lifetime (much longer than bridges and dentures). • ✅ Enhances Aesthetics of the Face: When implants restore the entire tooth including the root, they aid in supporting the shape of your face and preventing the sunken appearance often caused by tooth loss. • ✅ Fixed and Stable: Once dental implants are placed, they stay in place. Dentures are removable and can slip or click when eating or speaking. • ✅ Comfortable and Functional: Restoring your mouth to full functionality allows you to enjoy your favorite foods in comfort, and speak clearly and confidently. • ✅ Easy Maintenance: Just like natural teeth, you will brush, floss, and have dental checkups. • ✅ Increase your self esteem: When you have a smile you are proud of, you will look better, feel better and lead a better quality of life. ________________________________________ Implant vs Bridge - What is Best? While dental Bridges require you to shave down the adjacent teeth to provide support for the dental restoration, you do not disturb your healthy natural teeth with a dental implant. Implants are placed into the jawbone independently to the surrounding teeth, providing a stronger, more conservative, longer lasting restoration. Who is a Good Candidate for Implants? You’re a candidate for dental implants if: • You are missing one or more teeth. • Your jawbone has the required amount of density and height. • You do not have uncontrolled systemic disease. • You maintain good oral hygiene. Contra-Indications To Dental Implants You could be contra-indicated for the use of dental implants if: • ❌ You have uncontrolled diabetes, as it could affect healing and implants. • ❌ You are a heavy smoker. If you are a smoker your healing is delayed and could affect the long-term success of the implant. • ❌ You have osteoporosis, as your bone density may not be adequate enough to support the implant. • ❌ You have had radiation; for instance if you had head and neck radiation. • ❌ You have severe bruxism (teeth grinding), as you will introduce additional stress. • ❌ You have poor oral hygiene and untreated periodontal disease. • ❌ You have an autoimmune condition or are immuno-compromised, they could affect your healing response. • ❌ You have insufficient bone or quality of bone. They may require grafting to obtain the proper amount of bone volume width or height. Implant Brands We Love at Smile and Glow At Smile and Glow we strive to use the best internationally recognized dental implant systems to maximize the quality of your implant: • Nobel Biocare (Sweden) • Straumann (USA) • DIO digital implants (UK).

Installing dental implants is a standardized process designed to ensure the longevity and success of your implants: • After dental and medical evaluations, and initial impressions and digital x-rays, the surgeon will conduct more in-depth imaging using a CBCT to establish a precise plan for placing your implant. • The actual surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia or with the option of conscious sedation or general anesthesia for those who prefer to be more comfortably sedated. ________________________________________ Two-Stage Implants • The surgery is performed to surgically insert a titanium dental implant post (either an endosteal cylindrical or tapered implant) into the jaw. • After insertion, the implant will fuse to the bone in a process called osseointegration, which will create a stable base for your new tooth. • While the implant is integrating, which can take weeks to months, you will have a temporary prosthesis placed, if required. • After the healing phase is complete (typically 3-6 months duration), the implant site will be uncovered, the implant components will be attached including a small abutment, or connector, which will eventually hold the final custom crown. Single-Stage Implants • With a single-stage implant, the implant and abutment are placed in one appointment. • A temporary crown will be placed and the patient will be asked to avoid any hard/chewy foods during healing which will take about 3–6 months. • Onces the implant is fully integrated with the bone, the temporary crown will be replaced with a permanent crown. Post-Implant Care: Ensuring Longevity Maintaining implants is easy: • Brush and floss daily as if they are regular teeth • See your dentist for cleanings and evaluations every 6 months • Avoid smoking and don't exert excessive force on your implants With good care, dental implants can last a lifetime and provide you with a strong, confident, and fully functional smile. 💬Are you looking for safe, lasting dental implants in Mogappair ,its surrounding or Perambur, Kolathur?

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.
