There are two types of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures. Complete dentures replace all of the teeth in either the upper or lower part of the mouth. Partial dentures can replace several teeth, but not all of the teeth in an arch. Complete dentures are held in place through suction, or the close adaptation of the denture base to the surface area of your tissues. Partial dentures are held in place by metal clasps which wrap around remaining teeth..

Orthodontic treatment is a way of straightening or moving teeth, to improve the appearance of the teeth and how they work. It can also help to look after the long-term health of the teeth, gums and jaw joints, by spreading the biting pressure over all the teeth. Many people have crowded or crooked teeth. Orthodontic treatment will straighten the teeth or move them into a better position. This can not only improve their appearance but also the way the teeth bite together, while also making them easier to clean. In some patients the upper front teeth can stick out and look unsightly. These ‘prominent’ teeth are more likely to be damaged, but orthodontic treatment can move them back into line. In others, the way the upper and lower jaws meet can cause teeth to look unsightly and lead to an incorrect bite. Orthodontic treatment may be able to correct both. When the teeth don’t meet correctly, this can put strain on the muscles of the jaw, causing jaw and joint problems and in some cases headaches. Orthodontic treatment can help you to bite more evenly and reduce the strain.

Non surgical Planning of gum disease A non-surgical treatment is called root planning.Root planning is where the gum tissues are usually anaesthetized with anaesthetic and the dentist or hygienist will scrape the diseased tooth root until it is clean and no longer contains bacterial waste products. This is done by a long thin drill type of instrument which slides between the tooth and surrounding gum, and the turning motion, plus water and disinfectant squirted via this drill- clean out the bacteria and scrape the area around the tooth and between the tooth and the gum free of any material (infected tissue, pus, deep rooted tartar etc) that may be present.If this is done at the initial phases of gum disease, the disease can be stopped in it's tracks, and be prevented from progressing.If this is the case, the planning. Depending on how sensitive one is, this treatment can sometimes be done without anaesthetic, but if one is too sensible especially towards the outside of the teeth roots, then small injections of anaesthetic may be injected into the surrounding gum. Root planning may sometimes be enhanced with antibiotics that are taken orally or placed into the gum 'pockets'. Not all cases of gum disease will have antibiotic enhancements as a part of their root planning therapy. After root planning, the gum tissues are usually tender or sore, but not usually painful.
