Diastema is the space between two teeth, commonly affecting the upper front teeth.

Treatment options include:

• Composite bonding for quick aesthetic correction

• Porcelain laminates for larger gaps

The best approach depends on the size of the gap, aesthetic goals, and oral health status.

Sedation dentistry helps patients relax during treatments, especially those with dental

anxiety or undergoing long procedures.

Common methods include:

• Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)

• Intravenous (IV) sedation

Sedation levels can range from mild relaxation to deeper sleep-like states, depending on

the method used.

Zirconium crowns are durable, metal-free dental restorations made from zirconia, known

for:

• Exceptional strength and resistance to fractures

• Biocompatibility, reducing the risk of allergic reactions

• Natural-looking aesthetics due to their tooth-like translucency

• Longevity with proper oral care

These crowns are widely used for both front and back teeth, offering a combination of

aesthetics and durability.

Tartar (calculus) is hardened plaque that cannot be removed by brushing alone. It

accumulates along the gumline and between teeth.

Treatment:

• Professional scaling and cleaning are required to remove tartar

• Regular cleanings help prevent its buildup

Preventing tartar starts with daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits.
