Dental implants are a great option for patients who have lost one or more teeth due to injury, decay, or other reasons. If you have missing teeth and experience difficulty chewing, speaking, or feel self-conscious about your smile, dental implants could be the solution. The first step in determining if you need a dental implant is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Raman Sandhu. During your visit, we’ll evaluate the health of your gums and jawbone, take X-rays, and discuss your dental goals. If you are a good candidate for implants, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan to restore your smile and oral function.

A dental check-up at Dr. Raman Sandhu Dental Clinic involves a thorough examination of your oral health. During the appointment, Dr. Sandhu or our dental hygienist will perform a visual inspection of your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues. We will also take digital X-rays if necessary to get a detailed view of your teeth and bones. Your teeth will be professionally cleaned to remove plaque and tartar buildup, followed by a fluoride treatment to protect your enamel. If any concerns are identified, Dr. Sandhu will discuss the next steps, including any treatments or procedures needed to maintain your dental health.

Yes, dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. Made of titanium, dental implants fuse with the jawbone over time in a process known as osseointegration. This fusion creates a strong foundation for the replacement tooth or crown, making dental implants a long-lasting, durable solution. With proper care, including regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene, and a balanced diet, dental implants can last for many years, even decades.

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made of porcelain or composite resin that are placed over the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers are commonly used to correct issues such as discoloration, chips, cracks, uneven teeth, or gaps between teeth. At Dr. Raman Sandhu Dental Clinic, Dr. Sandhu creates personalized veneers that blend seamlessly with your natural smile, providing a radiant and aesthetically pleasing result. The procedure is minimally invasive, and veneers are durable, stain-resistant, and provide a natural look that can transform your smile.

Recovery from root canal treatment is generally quick and straightforward. After the procedure, most patients experience mild discomfort or sensitivity for a few days, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Swelling is uncommon, but if it occurs, it usually subsides within a couple of days. The tooth may feel tender for a short period, especially when chewing or touching it, but this discomfort typically fades as the tissue heals. You will need to schedule a follow-up visit to place a crown on the treated tooth to fully restore its strength and functionality. Full recovery usually takes a few days to a week, depending on your individual healing process.

It is generally recommended to visit the dentist every six months for a routine check-up and cleaning. Regular dental visits are essential to maintaining optimal oral health, allowing Dr. Raman Sandhu to monitor the condition of your teeth and gums, detect early signs of problems such as cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer, and provide professional cleaning to prevent plaque buildup. For patients with specific dental concerns or conditions, such as gum disease or a history of cavities, more frequent visits may be necessary.

Yes, metal-free crowns are just as durable as traditional metal crowns. At Dr. Raman Sandhu Dental Clinic, we use high-quality, durable materials like porcelain and zirconia for our metal-free crowns, which provide excellent strength and resistance to wear and tear. Metal-free crowns are also highly aesthetic because they closely match the color of your natural teeth, making them an ideal choice for visible areas like the front teeth. With proper care, metal-free crowns can last for many years and provide a natural, durable solution for restoring damaged or decayed teeth.
