At Cincinnati Bright Smiles, we love taking care of patients of all ages! Did you know that the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends your child have their first dental visit by age 1, or within 6 months of their first tooth erupting? While this may seem early, it allows your little one to begin building a positive relationship with our dentists and hygienists. It also allows us to monitor your child’s development and catch any concerns as early as possible. This will lead to less treatment down the road.
Dr. Tsivitse and Dr. Patel, along with our experienced team will create a positive and welcoming environment to ensure your child is comfortable and feels safe throughout their visit. Their dentist visits should be something they look forward to rather than fear.
Although most children do just fine at a general dentist office, more advanced cases, or extremely fearful patients, may need a referral to a pediatric dentist,
Pediatric dentistry
Orthodontics is the art of using appliances to straighten and align teeth. Most commonly it involves the use of braces to move teeth into their proper position. In this method, brackets are bonded to the teeth and arch wires are threaded through the brackets. The arch wires act as a track and guide each tooth to its proper position. There are several types of orthodontic braces available to consumers, including the more traditional metal braces, ceramic “tooth colored” braces, as well as clear plastic braces.

crowns and bridges
A dental implant is an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth as a result of injury, periodontal disease, or any other reason. A dental implant is a metal/titanium post that a periodontist, oral surgeon, or your general dentist surgically positions into the jaw. After the implant is placed the bone surrounding the implant will need time to integrate and heal.
Once the healing is complete your dentist will place an abutment and crown over the implant. While implants are typically more expensive than other methods of tooth replacement, they provide superior benefits. Implants are stronger than natural teeth and generally last your lifetime. They are also a more favorable approach than bridgework since they do not depend on neighboring teeth for support. To receive implants, you need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. You must also be committed to excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits as these are critical to the long-term success of dental implants.
Dental Implant Restorations
Root canal treatment (also referred to as root canal therapy or endodontic therapy) is made necessary when a cavity is allowed to reach all the way to the pulp. Regular cleanings and checkups prevent and detect problems early. Sometimes deep restorations or trauma to a tooth may also cause the nerve to be damaged to the point it needs root canal therapy. Once this occurs the pulp becomes infected, and can even extend through the root tip and begin to eat away at the surrounding bone (this is an abscess). By the time the pulp is infected it must be treated, and cannot heal on its own. It can even weaken the entire immune system. This is dangerous, not to mention very painful. Symptoms that the pulp has become infected may include sensitivity to hot/cold or sweets, pain, swelling, pain to biting or pressure, and a bad taste in the mouth. Sometimes, however, no symptoms are apparent and the person is unaware of any problem until a checkup.
A root canal is then performed to clean out the infected tooth pulp, and disinfect the canals of the tooth. The only other treatment would be to extract the tooth. Once the infection is resolved, the canal(s) are filled in to prevent any further infection. Usually a core build-up and crown is recommended for restoring a tooth that has had root canal therapy.
ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
Getting a tooth pulled is not the most pleasant experience but is sometimes necessary in order to avoid further complications. Decay, trauma, daily habits, and health history can all contribute to the reason a tooth may need to be pulled. Although Dr. Tsivitse and Dr. Patel strive to save teeth whenever possible, if a tooth does need to be extracted you can rest assured that you will be in good hands. Although some more advanced cases may need to see an oral surgeon for treatment, our doctors can often do extractions same day.
After having an extraction, it is normal to be sore and uncomfortable for a few days. To help with proper healing and increased comfort, please follow post op instructions, which will be provided to you.
Extractions
A denture is a removable appliance made for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. There are two types of dentures available which include partial and complete dentures. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, while complete dentures are used to completely replace all teeth. Dentures are made to resemble your natural teeth so there should be no noticeable change to your appearance. In fact, dentures may even improve your smile!
Partial Dentals – This restoration method is used to restore your smile and mouth function if all your teeth have been lost. The dentures are custom created to resemble natural teeth and are positioned into a patients mouth to take the place of where the natural teeth used to be. Complete dentures are removable and may require adjustments in order to create a proper fit with the gums and mouth. Partial Dentures – A removable partial denture is a device used when one or more natural teeth still remain. They usually consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic or metal base which is held in place in the mouth by either natural teeth or clasps.
