Dental care involves treatments like restorative fillings, root canals, and specialized surgery. LIV Hospital provides comprehensive treatment for your oral health.
Treatment in dentistry is like having several specialized workshops under one roof, with different experts fixing different problems. The goal is always to stop pain, fix damage, and save your natural teeth. Treatments range from simple procedures to complex surgery and tooth replacement. LIV Hospital coordinates these specialists to ensure you receive complete, precise dental care, addressing every aspect of your oral health from the root of the tooth to the surrounding bone.

Dental treatment aims to relieve pain, control infection, restore function, and protect your teeth and gums for the long term. Depending on your diagnosis, your plan may include preventive cleanings, fillings, root canals, crowns, gum treatment, extractions, and options to replace missing teeth like implants, bridges, or dentures. Understanding these procedures helps you feel more comfortable and make informed decisions about your care.
Treatment for tooth decay and structural damage depends on how deep and extensive the problem is. Early decay may sometimes be managed with fluoride and improved home care, but once a cavity forms, the decayed area usually needs to be cleaned and restored with a filling or other restoration.
Common options include:
If decay reaches the nerve (pulp), a root canal and crown may be needed; if the tooth cannot be saved, extraction and replacement are considered.
Root canal treatment (endodontic therapy) is used to save a tooth when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma. Under local anesthesia, the dentist or endodontist removes the diseased pulp, cleans and shapes the root canals, and fills them with a biocompatible material before sealing the tooth.
Modern techniques and anesthesia mean root canal treatment is usually no more uncomfortable than having a filling, and it prevents the spread of infection.

Gum disease (periodontal disease) is treated by removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line and by improving daily oral hygiene. Early-stage disease (gingivitis) often responds to professional cleaning and better brushing and flossing, while more advanced periodontitis requires deeper therapy.
After active treatment, more frequent maintenance visits are usually recommended to keep disease under control.
If a tooth is too damaged to repair—for example, due to deep decay, severe fracture, or advanced gum disease—extraction may be necessary. Replacing missing teeth helps restore chewing, speech, and aesthetics, and can prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting.
Common replacement options include:
Your dentist will discuss bone, gum health, and your overall medical status to determine which option suits you best.
Beyond treating disease, many dental procedures focus on improving appearance and supporting long-term function. Aesthetic treatments can be combined with restorative work to create a healthier, more harmonious smile.
Examples include:
Your dentist balances cosmetic goals with bite stability, tooth structure preservation, and gum health.
A written treatment plan organizes your care into logical steps, usually starting with urgent problems and progressing to long-term restorations and maintenance. Dental records document diagnoses, procedures, materials, prescriptions, and follow-up, serving as both a clinical guide and a legal document.
Effective care planning includes:
Good communication helps ensure your expectations are clear and that you feel comfortable with the pace and scope of treatment.
Your daily habits have a major impact on how well dental treatments last. Even the best fillings, crowns, implants, or gum treatments can fail early if plaque control is poor, smoking continues, or check-ups are skipped.
You can support long-term success by:
Your dentist or hygienist can personalize home-care advice and product recommendations based on your specific treatments and risk profile.
Treatment options range from simple restorative work (fillings, crowns), to internal tooth therapy (root canals), intensive gum care (deep cleaning), and surgical procedures like extractions and dental implant placement, all available at LIV Hospital.
Recovery is minimal for routine fillings. For deep cleaning, slight soreness lasts a few days. Recovery from major oral surgery (like implants or grafts) can take one to two weeks, with full healing taking several months.
You will need surgery if a tooth cannot be saved (extraction), if you require a dental implant to replace a missing root, or if you need bone grafting to repair jaw damage caused by disease.
Medications include local anesthetic (numbing medicine) for procedures, pain relievers for soreness afterward, and antibiotics (pills or gels) to stop severe infections in the teeth or gums.
Following implant placement, you can expect some swelling and minor discomfort. You will need to stick to a soft diet for 1 to 2 weeks and must follow strict oral hygiene instructions to allow the implant to properly fuse with the bone.
