Alveolar Ridge

The alveolar ridge is the bony ridge of either jaw, located on the roof of the mouth or on the bottom of the mouth.

Autograft

An autograft is a graft of tissue from one portion of an individual’s body to another.

Bleachorexia

Bleachorexia occurs when people continue to abuse teeth whitening solutions without consulting professionals, causing significant damage to their enamel and gums in the process.

Cap Splint

A cap splint is a plastic or metallic device that professionals may use to treat mandibular or maxillary fractures and cover the crowns of teeth.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry generally refers to any dental work that improves the appearance (though not necessarily the function) of a person’s teeth, gums, and/or bite.

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure that increases the extent of a tooth structure for restorative or esthetic purposes.

Dental Crown

A crown is an artificial tooth, usually consisting of porcelain, which covers the top of the implant to provide people with an aesthetically pleasing and fully-functional tooth.

Dentin Hypersensitivity

Dentin hypersensitivity is when the enamel wears down on the tooth enough that the dentin faces exposure and will cause great levels of pain when a person applies pressure to the tooth or drinks hot/cold beverages.

Dentist

A dentist, also known as a dental surgeon, is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and conditions of the oral cavity.
