In Tan-Mencias Dental Clinic, we provide basic dental needs support to our patients in Marikina and around the city.
Some of these are oral prophylaxis, tooth extraction, and tooth restoration.
Oral Prophylaxis
Dental professionals perform oral prophylaxis, also known as dental cleaning, to clean the teeth and gums.
It aims to remove accumulated dental plaque, tartar (calculus), and surface stains.
The process aids in preventing dental conditions like cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease.
Regular sessions can help maintain optimal oral health and identify potential dental problems early.
This preventive measure is vital for ensuring long-term dental well-being.
Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone.
It’s typically performed when a tooth is damaged beyond repair due to decay, trauma, or overcrowding.
The process can be simple or surgical, depending on the tooth’s position and condition.
A dentist or oral surgeon carries out the procedure under local, sedation, or general anesthesia.
After extraction, it’s crucial to follow aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and prevent complications.
Tooth Restoration
Tooth restoration refers to various dental procedures aimed at restoring the function, integrity, and morphology of missing or damaged tooth structure.
Common causes for restoration include cavities, trauma, or tooth wear.
Restorative procedures include fillings, crowns, bridges, veneers, and implants.
Materials like amalgam, composite resin, porcelain, and gold can be used depending on the location and extent of the damage.
The main goals of tooth restoration are to restore function, enhance aesthetics, and prevent further tooth damage.
