Monarch Dental Clinic provide wide range of services.
As we eat and drink, food and bacteria may accumulate in our teeth, which eventually becomes dental plaque. Over time, the dental plaque may calcify and harden to form tartar. While regular brushing and flossing may remove some plaque, they cannot remove tartar. It will have to be removed by a dentist via a procedure called scaling. Scaling involves the use of a specialized instrument to loosen and remove plaque and tartar without damaging your gums and teeth.
Usually done after scaling, polishing removes surface stains while making your teeth smooth and shiny. Dentist will use another instrument, along with a special paste, to polish your teeth.
Depending on your oral health, you may need to get your teeth cleaned every six months. If you are due for your regular cleaning, send us an enquiry or make an appointment.
A dental filling is a type of restorative dentistry treatment used to repair minimal tooth fractures, tooth decay or otherwise damaged surfaces of the teeth. Dental filling materials, which include composite, porcelain and silver amalgam, may be used to even out tooth surfaces for better biting or chewing.
Dentist will begin the dental filling procedure by preparing the tooth and necessary surrounding areas in order to restore the damaged area. The decay or damage is removed and the area is cleansed to remove bacteria or debris before it is “filled” with the filling materials.
Dental implants are surgical-grade root devices that support permanent tooth prosthetics. These artificial roots are anchored in the bone beneath the gums where they become fused into the jaw. A crown is mounted atop the implant. Dental implants may be used to replace a single missing or damaged tooth or to restore an entire smile.
A crown is a type of dental restoration used to fix teeth that have been broken, weakened by decay or have a very large filling. The crown fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. It will also be tooth coloured, giving the restoration a more natural appearance. A crown could be a good solution for you if you have some discoloured fillings and would like to improve their appearance. Crowns can be used to replace these to give you a more aesthetic smile. Also, if you have had root canal treatment you will need a crown to protect or cap the restored tooth, allowing you to eat and bite down on it as if it was a real tooth. Crowns are also used to anchor a bridge or denture firmly in place in the mouth.
If you require a more extensive restoration than a crown or have more than one tooth that needs to be repaired, a good solution is a bridge. Bridges are usually made of a precious metal base which gives them a solid structure and makes them hard-wearing. If you need a bridge in your smile line, porcelain is usually added to the base to make it look more like real teeth. A bridge helps to strengthen the prepared teeth and makes chewing and eating easier because they are fixed. Some bridges can also be fixed to your jaw with dental implants, if you have several teeth next to each other that are missing. Once you have a bridge fitted, you will have to take extra care of your daily hygiene regime to ensure it stays plaque free and that you can prevent bad breath.
Movable dentures are dentures that can be removed and installed by themselves, through metal or hooks. The principle is fixed in the mouth. Movable dentures are divided into partial movable dentures and full dentures. There are also teeth that can be supported, called partial movable dentures; and full-mouth dentures without teeth are called Full dentures.
Root canals treatment are dental procedures used to treat and preserve teeth with badly infected roots. The pulp is the live portion of the tooth that extends into the root and contains nerve endings and tissues. When it becomes infected, patients can experience pain, swelling and even total tooth loss unless treated. Root canals remove the damaged parts of the tooth and infected root. In some cases, an antibiotic is prescribed to help prevent further infection within the tooth. The organic portion of the tooth that remains may be restored using a cap or crown that provides a natural appearance and normal tooth function.
Complementary treatment When biting, the main force comes from the cooperation of teeth, bones and gums. Dental implant It is to restore the original bite ability that has been lost, so the disease must be assessed more carefully. Whether the density, height and width of the bone can meet the requirements of implantation. Many people lack teeth I only wanted to implant a tooth after a year, but at this time the alveolar bone has shrunk and there is no strong bone as the root Of course the support will not be firm. Therefore, you can think of Bu Gu as helping the root of the tooth to lay the foundation. The artificial root is implanted into the foundation, and the implant effect will be stable and durable.
One area of speciality areas within dentistry is known as oral surgery and this applies to procedures of a surgical nature, such as the extraction of teeth or wisdom teeth. If you have advanced tooth decay or an impacted wisdom tooth, you may require oral surgery to have them safely extracted. Depending on your particular case and the severity of your problem.
Proper care of your child’s teeth and gums includes brushing and rinsing daily. It also includes having routine dental exams, and getting necessary treatments such as fluoride, sealants, extractions, fillings, or braces and other orthodontics.
Tooth abscess is a swelling due to collection of pus that resulted from bacterial infection of oral tissues.
If a tooth abscess is found in the mouth, we should go to see a dentist immediately to have a check-up and receive treatments. Usually, the dentist needs to open up the tooth abscess and drain out the pus in order to reduce the inflammation. Also, the dentist will find out the cause of formation of the tooth abscess.
A sinus lift, also called sinus augmentation, is a procedure that increases the amount of bone in the upper jaw sinus area. This is one of the most common bone grafting procedures for dental implant patients.
Often times, sinus augmentations are one of the many procedures done during a full mouth reconstruction.
Who Needs A Sinus Augmentation?
Dental implants have become more readily available, making them an increasingly common dental procedure. As more people get dental implants to replace missing teeth, sinus lifts also have become more common.
A sinus augmentation may be necessary if you are missing teeth and jawbone in the back of your jaw, near your sinuses. Jawbone and teeth in this area could be lost due to birth defects, periodontal disease, cancer, other medical conditions, or just the natural healing process. A sinus lift can also be used if your sinuses are too close to your upper jaw and you need more space to place the implant.
Teeth grinding is generally caused by psychological factors such as emotional stress or nervousness. Long term teeth grinding will damage the enamel and expose the dentine causing sensitive teeth.
To stop teeth grinding, the cause must be identified. If teeth grinding is severe, you should go to a dentist as soon as possible. The dentist will give appropriate treatment such as fabricating a “Mouth guard” to keep the teeth from further attrition.
Ceramic crowns and bridges can be applied to natural teeth or implants. Aesthetic appearance and biocompatibility of ceramic crowns and bridges, their hardness, strength and other physicochemical attributes are very similar to natural teeth, making them almost ideal dental replacements.
Ceramic crown is a prosthetic dental replacement which, in its shape, colour and function completely replaces the natural crown of the tooth. We apply them in cases of extensive dental tissue loss, due to caries, and deteriorated tooth integrity due to numerous fillings.
Ceramic bridge is made if we want to replace one or more lost teeth without inserting an implant in the place of the lost tooth.
It consists of two or more bridge carriers – basically ceramic crowns in- between of which the body of the bridge is placed and connected. The body of the bridge consists of one or more elements depending on how many lost teeth are being replaced.
Keeping our teeth their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds. With all the coffee, wine, smoking and other foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster.
Teeth whitening is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or even make them whiter than your natural color if you would like.
To accomplish the whitening of your teeth, we utilize a tray whitening system. This tray whitening system is completed in 2 steps. The first step is to make an impression of your teeth. With this impression, we’ll craft you custom whitening trays that you can use over and over. Finally, you will take the whitening gel and put it in the whitening trays for a short period of time over a period of a few days. This often results in a whiter smile of 4 – 8 shades
Invisalign is a new system of straightening teeth without the use of conventional braces. A series of clear plastic aligners are utilized to create tooth movement. Moving teeth with removable aligners is not new. However, the computer program, which can generate a series of aligners with small changes is the new part. Invisalign is recommended for orthodontic situations with mild to moderate spacing or crowding. They are virtually undetectable, easy to use and comfortable to wear.

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that destroys the gums and alveolar. Periodontal disease is usually nothing There are obvious symptoms, but if they are not treated early, they can cause loose teeth, missing teeth, and even diabetes and Cardiovascular diseases. The main cause of periodontal disease is the accumulation of dental plaque caused by improper cleaning habits. Other masters Key factors include age, smoking and drinking, systemic diseases, genes, stress, drugs, and biting Teeth grinding habits, drinking habits, and overweight. Risk of periodontal disease in diabetic patients Also higher. Studies have proven that periodontal disease is one of the main complications of diabetes. To receive a complete periodontal disease treatment, the patient must also recognize the limitations of the treatment and complete the periodontal disease treatment The survival rate and short life span of the teeth that each group can retain after treatment is very dependent on the patient Whether the periodontal disease is mild, moderate or severe, it cannot be generalized. This is very necessary The doctor and the patient are required to have sufficient communication before the treatment so that the patient will not be aware of the treatment effect There are unreasonable expectations.
The aim of endodontic therapy is to save the tooth that has been badly damaged due to decay, disease or trauma. As a natural tooth generally functions better than any replacement options following extraction, endodontic therapy is the preferred treatment to retain the natural tooth.
The infected pulp is removed and medication is placed in the root canals to provide an antibacterial action between appointments. The medication in the root canals may need to be replaced at subsequent appointments depending on the individual case. The root canals are filled with a permanent filling at the final appointment.
In many cases, endodontic therapy will be successful and enable retention of the tooth for many years. However, all teeth are not equal and the lifespan of teeth can vary depending on many factors. Your Endodontist will assess the prognosis of your tooth on an individual basis and discuss the likely risks so that each patient can make an informed decision regarding proceeding with endodontic therapy.
