Common General Dentistry Procedures

Before each procedure, Dr. Ghannam or Dr. Lynch usually assesses and diagnoses the extent of the damage or deformity of the patient’s tooth. He will then take a photograph, x-ray or an impression to create a model of the teeth. After this, a treatment plan is then made accordingly.

Here are some of the procedures that a dentist performs:

1. Dental Fillings- are performed on patients with structural damage to the tooth, to avoid further decomposition of the tooth. This usually entails the removing of the decayed parts of the tooth and then filling it up with composite resin or porcelain to protect the tooth’s nerves.

2. Bonding- refers to the process of using resin materials to bond the surface of the tooth for reconstructive purposes. This is usually performed on patients with cracked and chipped teeth.

3. Root canal therapy- this is a process wherein the pulp tissue of the root of the tooth is removed. The hollowed tooth is then later on filled with antibacterial filling and covered with resin material to protect the crown.

4. Dentures and dental bridges– also known as false teeth, are used to replace damage or missing teeth. Usually, this includes composite material that are attached for optimum results.

5. Dental Crowns- are used to protect and repair badly damaged teeth.

6. Orthodontics – this is a procedure performed for the proper alignment and position of the teeth with the use of Invisalign.

7. Laser procedures- are use for bonding procedures.
