General Dentistry
General Dentistry involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of disorders affecting the teeth, gums, and maxillofacial area. It focuses on maintaining oral hygiene and promoting tooth health through comprehensive services.
We provide a wide range of services for you and your family, such as:
Dental Crown and Bridge Treatment
is a procedure for replacing lost teeth. It requires restoration due to deep decay, fracture, or crack. A bridge is made up of at least three units: two crowns (abutments) fused to a pontic, a fake tooth that replaces a missing tooth. At Lotlikar’s Dental Foundation, we’re dedicated to providing you with the best possible dental care in Goa with our years of experience.
Night Guard
also known as a mouth guard or dental split, is a device made of plastic that covers all or part of the teeth. It is typically worn through the night to prevent you from grinding your teeth while you are sleeping.
Restorative Dentistry
focuses on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth. These procedures help improve oral health and function. Common dental restorations include crowns, bridges, and implants.
Nutrition Counselling
in dental practice focuses on reducing oral risks from diet and promoting good nutrition for health. If a patient has an underlying medical issue, we refer them to a Registered Dietitian.
Root Canal Therapy
involves removing inflamed or infected pulp within the tooth, followed by thorough cleaning, disinfection, and sealing to prevent bacteria. This procedure aims to remove bacteria, prevent further infection, and protect the natural tooth. Count on us for compassionate and expert dental care.
Dentures
are removable oral appliances that replace missing teeth. There are many types of dentures, including full, partial, and implant-supported dentures. With proper care and maintenance, the average lifespan of a denture is seven to 10 years.
Oral Surgery
encompasses a range of surgical interventions conducted on teeth, gums, jaws, and other oral structures. We perform various procedures, including tooth extraction, dental bone grafts, dental implants, periodontal surgery, corrective jaw surgery, sleep apnea surgery, and cleft lip and palate repair.
Dental Sealants
are thin coatings that, when painted on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars), can prevent cavities (tooth decay) for many years. Sealants protect the chewing surfaces from cavities by covering them with a protective shield that blocks out germs and food.
Home Care Instructions
We provide an easy-to-follow plan for home care instructions. This includes emphasising the daily essentials of brushing, flossing, and scheduling regular cleaning appointments for optimal oral health.
Partial Dentures
are usually removable dentures that replace multiple teeth in the upper or lower portion of your mouth. They can also preserve the placement of the remaining teeth in your mouth, which may otherwise shift over time.
Dental Cleanings
are essential for maintaining optimal oral health and function. We clean, polish, and floss your teeth to remove hardened plaque, tartar, and bacteria. When combined with diligent brushing and flossing at home, dental cleanings help achieve and maintain healthy teeth and gums.
FAQ
Does teeth cleaning remove the yellow stains?
Teeth cleaning, known as scaling, can remove surface stains, but it won’t lighten your teeth. To achieve a lighter shade, you may consider teeth bleaching.
What exactly happens in a root canal?
In a root canal, we remove the infected pulp, clean the inside of your tooth, and seal it with a filling. Then, we protect the tooth with a crown to restore its original function.
