Treatment & Procedures

Braces & Invisalign

A brace is used to correct the alignment of teeth to achieve a more aesthetic smile and better oral health. Teeth that are misaligned can make it harder to maintain good oral hygiene since the toothbrush may not be able to reach certain spots. Good oral hygiene helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease to ensure that your teeth remain in good condition…

Dental Implants

Even if you lose your teeth, you don't have to lose your smile. With dental implants, you can replace decayed and dead teeth with perfectly shaped replacements. Dental implants are commonly suggested when a tooth extraction is recommended.

Root Canals

When a tooth is decayed, cracked or otherwise unhealthy, a root canal is done to prevent further damage. In the procedure, the tooth is opened and any infected tissue is cleaned out. After the cleaning, the opening is filled and closed off. Saving an infected tooth allows you to avoid getting an artificial tooth, and it also stops your teeth from misaligning…

Facilities & Services

Good dental and oral care normally act as a body’s natural defence system which keeps bacteria under control. Without proper oral hygiene, bacteria build-up can lead to different types of oral infections. Such infections, if left untreated, can lead to serious dental and oral health problems and may require corrective surgeries. It is always a good practice to maintain basic oral hygiene like brushing twice a day, flossing, cleansing mouth after every meal, etc. However, visiting a dental clinic in Whitefield is more appropriate for overall oral health. Consult with our best dentist in Whitefield for all your teeth-related issues.

In case of advanced treatment for dental and oral care, Manipal Hospital Whitefield is considered to be the best dental hospital in Bangalore where dentists, technicians and oral-maxillofacial surgeons take care of:

Endodontic surgery – This type of surgery is used with an aim to find any hidden canal or small fractures that may not have been detected earlier during a non-surgical root canal treatment, or in the X-Rays. With Endodontic surgery, calcium deposits are removed from root canals, damaged root surfaces or any bone surrounding the tooth are treated. For this type of surgery, advanced clinical technologies including digital imaging are used alongside using operating microscopes that help perform these procedures accurately and successfully.

Periodontal disease treatment – Periodontitis occurs when there is a gum disease damaging soft tissue or the bone that supports a tooth. If left untreated, the alveolar bone which is found around the tooth can slowly and progressively get lost. With periodontal disease treatment, the bacteria deposits are cleaned out from the pockets surrounding the teeth to prevent any further damage to the tissue or the bone.

A full mouth reconstruction is recommended by the dentists in cases where a patient loses his teeth due to decay, tooth grinding, continuous acid erosion, or any trauma due to an injury. The dentists, through this full mouth reconstruction process, rebuild or restore the teeth in the upper and lower jaws simultaneously. The dentists recommend this process only after evaluating the current condition of the patient, the risks involved and how beneficial the process would be.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery – This is a specialised dental surgery involving complete diagnosis and treatment of mouth, face, jaws and neck related diseases. This type of surgery does not involve only dental or oral care but any injuries or pain in the face, cancers in the head or neck, impacted teeth, cysts or tumours found in the jaw, diseases affecting the salivary gland, facial disproportion, or treatment of infections and ulcers in the mouth. The team of dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons carry out these surgeries either with conscious sedation or using local anaesthesia, depending on the severity of the case and the condition of the patient.

Tooth extractions – When you have an infection or crowding in your teeth or suffer from excessive tooth decay, you need a tooth extraction. The dentist will remove any visible tooth through a simple extraction process but will require local anaesthesia if the tooth is broken, impacted or found below the surface. If you wear braces, one or two teeth may be required to be removed to make space for other teeth while they shift into their respective places.

Porcelain veneers – “Behind every smile, there’s teeth!” And when they are white, it adds to the charm of your smile. To improve the appearance of your tooth, there are porcelain veneers that are thin shells, available in tooth colour used to attach to teeth. Sometimes people take it lightly and visit a dental clinic in Whitefield but they should prefer hospitals for better care. These shells are usually made from resin-composite or porcelain materials that can be permanently attached to your teeth.

Dental implants – With the help of a dental implant, more than one tooth can be supported with the help of a titanium screw. The screw is used to replace the tooth’s root or jaw bone. This procedure is safe and similar to natural teeth, these implants are known to last for long if taken good care of.

Corrective jaw surgery – Also referred to as Orthognathic Surgery, oral or maxillofacial surgeons perform this type of surgery to realign or re-adjust the jaw. The jaws due to abnormal growth or injuries need corrective jaw surgery and also when the injury cannot be treated with only orthodontics.
