Usually family dentists provide general dentistry procedures in addition to several cosmetic, periodontal, and surgical services. They may work alone or coordinate with dental specialists like surgeons, maxillofacial specialists, and cosmetic dentists to provide required treatment to their patients.
Orthodontics
Dental misalignment can be corrected not only at a young age but any time through life. Teeth can be straightened within months and for this, dentists place external and removable objects like invisible braces or may use accelerated orthodontic procedures, like special brackets that have to be used for 6 months. Using accelerated bracket based orthodontics, the dentist aims at achieving tooth alignment with reduced sensitivity and non-extraction strategy.
Implants
Implants are a modern alternative to denture and serve as the root base for an artificially created replacement tooth. Usually implants are made of titanium. They can be placed over just one tooth or several of them. The advantage with them is it's difficult to distinguish where implants are fixed; they look so natural and they feel comfortable.
Veneers
Veneers, with their thin porcelain or a plastic fabric, easily and permanently bond to teeth. Such bonded add-ons protect the tooth surface from wearing out due to imbalance in oral acidity. They also dramatically improve the appearance of your front teeth.
With orthodontic, restorative, esthetic, and surgical techniques, the family dentist addresses different dental issues on various aged people.
