A number of dental disorders that affect the front teeth can be corrected with porcelain dental veneers. Ceramic veneers are porcelain laminates that are very thin tooth coloured. Dental veneers help correct problems like gaps, crooked, damaged, or stained teeth. They also fix other problems like restoring chipped teeth and covering unsightly and stained fillings. Fixing dental veneers on teeth is a cosmetic and reconstructive procedure to address damaged teeth. Our veneers are made of laboratory tested porcelain and composite resin.
Veneers are normally fixed on the front teeth. Since they are designed to fit accurately on the front of the existing tooth, they look like natural teeth. They are opted as a conservative approach to change the colour and shape of the teeth. Ceramic veneers offer a more aesthetic and stronger alternative to crowns. Though veneers do not need any special care, it is necessary to follow good oral hygiene. You should also avoid foods and beverages that may cause stains.

Quality dentistry is an investment - Article Published In Times Of India

Do you avoid visiting a dentist due to the physical pain that the docs’ drilling instrument will inflict? Then, it’s time to stave off that pain. With advancement in technology, a dental treatment isn’t as painful as before. Moreover, ignoring the initial signs of deterioration can prove disastrous to your dentures in due course of time. “Anyway it is all psychological. Now the technology is so advanced that before you realize, it is almost painless. Besides regular dental checkups ensure there are no problems and pain is thus averted,” assures Dr. Aakash Shah who is dental surgeon. 

          Many times, financial consideration too plays a role in avoiding necessary monetary penalties due to delay in treatment, adds he. The most common problem that occurs because of neglect towards tooth care is tooth decay. This can be easily managed by a conservative filling. But if it is neglected for about less than a year, then it may result in root canal therapy and a crown at a skyrocketing cost that are six to seven folds higher than usual. Filling are very common with dental work, as they present a way to repair a tooth that has suffered from decay or a cavity back to its original shape, Filling work by closing out the area where the bacteria enters into the teeth, helping to prevent any type of decay in the future. The materials used for filling include porcelain, gold, composite resin, and amalgam.

             There is really no one best type of filling, as several factors come into play. Compatibility to different materials, the shape of the tooth, extent of repair, and where the filling is needed etc will be the determining factors to decide what materials is to be used for your filling. Only a dentist is said to be able to make a decision regarding fillings. When you visit a dentist for your routine checkups, the doctors looks into your mouth and uses instruments that let him examine the surface of your teeth. If he finds any cavities, he usually recommends a filling. You will not experience any kind of pain there, as he numbs the area that is going to be filled. This normally takes less than an hour, and the patients are quickly up in action. A filling is great for cavities, as most look natural and do not result in the loss of tooth. Quality dentistry is an investment in a person’s future well- being and early saving will only yields invaluably healthy returns. What’s more, it will only spread smile on your countenance.

Caring for your child’s teeth - Article Published In Times Of India

Till now all of us went to doctor only when we had a cavity or we had a toothache that would not go away. But dentists always recommend that oral care started at a very young age, rather it should begin soon after the baby’s birth.

                Pune based dental surgeons Dr. Aakash Shah believe that good dental health is established early n life. “Oral care should begin soon after the baby’s birth. Gums should be cleaned after each feeding. You can begin brushing your child’s teeth as soon as they appear, using a soft brush.” Dr. Aakash Shah runs the oracare dental care centre on East Street, Camp.

                On when should a child be taken to the dentist, he said, “Ideally your child’s first visit should be by his first birthday? The dentist will check for decay and other problems, teach you how to clean your child’s teeth and identify your child’s fluoride needs. By starting dental visits early, you will help your child build a lifetime of good dental habits.”

                But like adults, can babies get cavities too, he said,”Yes, even though they eventually fall out. Milk teeth can get cavities and may need to be treated. As soon as teeth appear in the month, decay can occur; one serious form of decay among babies is the Baby Bottle Tooth decay. ”

He warned that babies should not fall asleep without washing their mouth as the sugar in the milk or juices can cause cavities, decay, and dental discomfort and even tooth loss.

Smile with Confidence- Article Published In Times Of India

Dental implants are an alternative for replacing missing teeth

You need not hide that precious smile of your any longer. If you are missing one or more natural teeth due to injury, disease or decay, or any other reason, you need not fret or feel conscious about your appearance. There is a new solution available apart from crowns, bridges and dentures- dental implant, Implants can be used for replacing a single missing tooth, several tooth or all teeth. Though the cost is on the higher side, implants closely resemble the look and feel of natural teeth. “An implant is an artificial tooth root, and can be made from various materials including titanium. Unlike removable dentures or fixed bridges, dental implants are surgically implanted under the gum tissue in the jaw bone,” says Dr. Aakash Shah.

                People often choose dental implants because they may look natural than dentures or bridges, and feel more secure, allowing you to look and feel better about yourself. The cost for implants may be more than for traditional bridges or dentures. When used together with bridges, implants are more similar to natural teeth in terms of the look and feel.

Age is not a barrier for someone who wants to get implants. Howe ever, the person must be in good health, and have healthy gums and a proper bone structure in the mouth to support the implants.

Also, people with chronic problems such as clenching the jaw or grinding teeth, those with certain medical conditions such as diabetes and those undergoing radiation or chemical therapy for cancer, may not be able to get dental implants. Heavy smoking and a alcohol use many also rule out the option of dental implants.

Once the implants have bonded with the jaw bone and the gums have healed, an artificial tooth that looks a natural tooth is made and attached to the implants. Treatment time varies depending on individual needs, but can take a number of appointments and may take up to nine months to complete.

                 “Following the home-care instructions is vital for a successful outcome. Your overall health may affect the success of the implants. Poor oral hygiene is the most frequent cause of problems and implants failure,” Warns Dr. Aakash. Some patients may require additional visits to the dentist for cleaning and examination of gums to make sure that the gums are healthy. All patients should follow the instruction provides by their dentists.

For your pearly whites- Article Publish in Times Of IndiaArticle Published In Times Of India

“A smile is a curve that sets everything straight”: Phyllis Diller

Dr. Aakash Shah

That is the reason why your pearly whites should always be in good condition. It is necessary also for the sake of hygiene to have a regular check-up of your teeth and gums. Gum disease is one of the main causes of tooth loss in adults. In its early stage it is known as gingivitis, and can be treated and reversed. If treatment in not received, a more serious and advanced stage of gum disease, called peritonitis, which includes bone loss may follow, “To prevent any damage to your gum, brushing twice a days, flossing daily, regular dental check-ups and cleaning are thoroughly recommended” Says Dr. Aakash Shah.

Bad breath is another problem affecting people as far as oral hygiene is concerned. About 85 percent of people with persistent bad breath have a dental condition that is to blame. “If bad breath is the cause of a dental condition, mouthwash will only mask the odor and not cure it.” Explains Dr. Shah. “Flossing daily and brushing your teeth and tongue twice a day can greatly reduce and possibly eliminate bad breath,” he says. Unfortunately though, if the decay damage is done, it becomes inevitable for a person to go to a dentist. Even cavities continue to get bigger. If they get big enough to reach the nerve In your teeth, your only options would be to have a root canal or have the tooth extracted. This is the part most people fear. Dr. Shah trying to eliminate the fear of root canal says,” I can’t tell you how many times I have heard a patients says,’ just pull the tooth, I’ve heard root canals are horrible. "With today’s technology root canals are nothing like most people think. I have had root canals and I was pleasantly surprised every time. In my opinion, a root canal is as painless as having a filling.” Some people think that having good dental health takes too much of fort and so they shrug away from it. Maintain good dental health is apparently easy so says Dr. Shah. “Seeing, brushing twice a days, flossing daily and eating a nutritious diet are the key factors in having healthy teeth and gums.”

Words of Wisdom- Article Published In Times Of India

One of the biggest misconceptions about Wisdom teeth is that they make you wise. If you go by the dentist’s words then they are a bane and need to be removed as soon as possible

“Wisdom teeth are a pain and if you have impacted wisdom teeth, you should have them removed at first possible instance.” Said Dr. Aakash shah of Oracare Dental Care Centre.

Dr. Aakash Shah’s Oracare Dental Care Centre is the first Dental clinic in Pune to have an ISO 9001:2000 certification. “All oral care procedures require utmost sterilization and we have a five-step procedure that we follow,” said Dr. Aakash.

Dr. Neera Shah, of Oracare Dental Care Centre has a word of caution for patients who are avoiding removing the impacted wisdom teeth, “They are very different to clean, and therefore often get decayed. It is usually not possible to repair such teeth simply because they are so inaccessible. Since they are different to clean, they often get decayed, they have a flap of gum, which can give you repaired infection. They also pose risk for the adjacent teeth. At time they may even form cysts, tumors and even jaw fracture common amongst sportsman”

On what exactly wisdom teeth are, Dr. Aakash explained, “Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are teeth that appear at the very back of the mouth between the ages of 18 and 25 years. They are the last of the adult permanent teeth to develop.” He further adds that if wisdom teeth come out fully, then they could prove quite useful and by careful cleaning, they could last a lifetime.
