Are you reluctant to smile because of yellow or discolored teeth? Everyday activities like drinking coffee, smoking or getting older can dull your natural beauty. We offer safe, professional teeth whitening at Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, Mogappair, that can bring back your radiant smile in one visit! What is Teeth Whitening? Teeth whitening is a clinical cosmetic procedure that removes stains and discolouration from your teeth by using bleaching products. A professional dental whitening agent is a safe bleaching agent (usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) which breaks down stain molecules in the enamel so that the underlying surface appears whiter and brighter. Why Do Teeth Become Discoloured? Despite regular brushing, teeth become discoloured naturally from: • Teas, coffees, coloured foods, red wine • Smoking or tobacco use • Aging or wear to enamel • Medicines like tetracycline • Fluoride or excess fluoride (fluorosis) • Conditions like jaundice or trauma when a tooth was forming. Types of Teeth Whitening Treatments At Smile and Glow, we offer several types of treatment options to accommodate different needs and lifestyles: ________________________________________ 1. In-Office Teeth Whitening (Chairside Whitening) This is the quickest and most predictable whitening option, completed in one visit under the care of our dentist. • A protective gel or rubber dam will be applied to protect your gums while whitening is taking place. • A potent whitening gel is professionally applied, highlighting additional light(s) that can help enhance penetration. • Results are seen right away and typically after only 45-60 minutes. • The best option for those who want fast and dramatic results. ________________________________________ 2. At-Home Whitening Kits (Custom Trays) Are you looking to take a more gradual approach from home? • We will provide you with a custom-made whitening tray for your teeth. • Our dentist will instruct you on how to use the whitening bleaching gel correctly and safely. • You expect to see results in 2-6 weeks based on consistent use. ________________________________________ 3.

Yes, when done under dental supervision, whitening is a safe and effective treatment.

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?

Immediate loaded implants (same day implants) are when an implant is placed directly into the socket immediately after extraction or into a space with an existing gap. The technique is best indicated to replace teeth in an aesthetic zone such as front teeth; where function and aesthetics are critical. Benefits of immediate implants include: • Help maintain the natural bone and gum tissue • Provide excellent long-term aesthetics • Greatly reduce the overall treatment time • Temporary teeth can be made the same day • Final crown can be delivered in 3-4 days Immediate Implant Procedure 1. Comprehensive consultation will be performed (history, clinical exam, impressions, x-rays, CBCT) to plan accurately. 2. The procedure will be under local anesthesia. 3. The diseased or fractured tooth will be extracted with care to preserve bone around the extraction site. 4. The extraction socket will be cleansed and disinfected of any potential infection. 5. The dental implant will then be precisely placed in the tooth socket. 6. A temporary crown will be placed the same day, or within 24–48 hours. 7. The final crown can be placed in 3 to 4 days however, it can be up to 3 months to allow healing of the bone prior to crown placement. 8. Since the implant was restored with a crown immediately after placement, it is referred to as an “immediate loaded implant”. Post-Care Instructions • Clean your teeth with a toothbrush and floss as you would do to your natural teeth. • You are encouraged to stop by for checkups every 6 months with your dentists for regular dental appointments to preserve your implant.

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). The aforementioned implant systems offer optimum precision, safety, and reliability through long-term backed world-wide (and clinical) evidence. Smile and Glow Implant Techniques We offer a variety of implant options for the wide range of clinical indications: • Immediate Loaded Implants / Same-Day Implants • All-on-4 Full Hybrid Denture • All-on-6 / All-on-8 Full-Mouth Fixed Ceramic Teeth • Implant-Supported Removable Dentures • Keyhole / 3D Guided Implants – less invasive – quicker healing ________________________________________ What is the Procedure for Dental Implants? 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?
