Dental terms explained
Glossary of Dental Terms
Dental words can sound intimidating — especially when you are trying to understand a diagnosis or weigh up a treatment. This glossary explains the terms you are most likely to hear at the clinic in plain, everyday language, alongside the common name for each where one exists (a crown is a “tooth cap”, a veneer is a “laminate”).
Where a term links to a treatment we provide, we have linked it so you can read further. You will also find a quick cost reference for common treatments in Coimbatore further down the page. If anything here raises a question about your own teeth, our team is happy to talk it through.

Abscess (gum boil)
A painful pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection inside a tooth or in the gum, usually from deep, untreated decay or a cracked tooth. It can bring facial swelling, fever and throbbing pain. An abscess is a dental emergency — we drain the infection and treat the source, often with a root canal or extraction, to stop it spreading.
Aligners (clear aligners, Invisalign)
A set of clear, removable trays that gradually move teeth into a straighter position — a discreet alternative to braces for many adults and teens. You wear each set for a couple of weeks before switching to the next. See our clear aligner and Invisalign treatment.
Amalgam (silver filling)
A hard-wearing, silver-coloured filling material made from a blend of metals. It is strong and long-lasting, which suits the heavy chewing forces on back teeth. If you prefer a filling that matches your tooth, we also offer tooth-coloured composite fillings.
Anaesthesia (numbing)
The medicine used to keep you comfortable during treatment. Local anaesthesia numbs a small area for procedures like a filling or extraction, so you stay awake but do not feel the work being done. It wears off over a few hours.
Apicoectomy (root-end surgery)
A minor surgery that removes the very tip of a tooth's root and any infection around it, used when a standard root canal has not fully settled. Done under local anaesthesia, it is a way to keep a natural tooth rather than remove it.
Attrition (tooth wear)
The gradual wearing down of teeth from chewing and, more often, from grinding or clenching. Some wear is normal with age; heavier wear can shorten teeth and make them sensitive. A night guard helps protect the surfaces.
All-on-4 / full-arch implants
A way to replace a full arch of missing teeth on as few as four implants, giving a fixed set of teeth without a removable denture. It is a common option for people who have lost most or all of their teeth. Part of our dental implant treatment.
Bite (occlusion)
How your upper and lower teeth meet when you close. A comfortable, even bite spreads chewing forces well; an uneven bite (malocclusion) can cause jaw strain, headaches or uneven wear, and is often corrected with orthodontic treatment.
Bonding (dental bonding)
A quick, comfortable cosmetic repair where tooth-coloured resin is shaped onto a chipped, worn or discoloured tooth and set with a curing light. It is minimally invasive and useful for small changes; larger repairs may be better suited to a crown or veneer.
Braces (dental braces)
Fixed brackets and wires that move teeth into better alignment and correct the bite over time, typically worn for one to three years. Options include metal, ceramic and self-ligating braces. See our braces treatment in Coimbatore.
Bridge (dental bridge)
A fixed replacement that closes the gap left by one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the neighbouring teeth or to implants. It restores chewing and speech and stops nearby teeth drifting. Compare it with implants on our dental bridges page.
Bruxism (teeth grinding, clenching)
Grinding or clenching the teeth, often during sleep and often linked to stress. Over time it can wear or crack teeth and cause jaw pain and headaches. A custom night guard cushions the teeth and reduces the damage.
Bone graft
A procedure that rebuilds lost jawbone using your own bone, donor or synthetic material, so there is enough solid foundation to place an implant or support the gums. It is a common preparatory step before implant treatment.
Canine (eye teeth, fangs)
The pointed teeth beside the front teeth, built for gripping and tearing food. They also guide the jaw as it moves side to side, so they matter for a stable bite.
Caries (tooth decay, cavities)
The disease process in which acids from plaque bacteria dissolve the tooth surface. It is the most common of all — the World Health Organization estimates untreated tooth decay in permanent teeth affects about 2.5 billion people worldwide. Caught early it is easily treated; left alone it deepens into a cavity. See tooth decay and cavity treatment.
Cavity
A hole in the tooth caused by decay. It may not hurt at first, but as it deepens it can cause sensitivity, pain or infection. We clean out the decay and restore the tooth with a filling before it spreads.
CBCT (3D dental scan)
A three-dimensional X-ray that shows the teeth, roots, nerves and jawbone in detail. It helps us plan implants, complex extractions and root canals precisely, using a lower dose than a medical CT scan.
Composite (tooth-coloured filling, white filling)
A tooth-coloured resin used to fill cavities and repair small chips so the restoration blends with the natural tooth. It bonds directly to the tooth and suits visible areas. See dental fillings.
Crown (tooth cap)
A custom cap that covers a damaged, heavily filled or root-treated tooth to restore its shape and strength. Crowns are made from zirconia, ceramic (E-max), porcelain-fused-to-metal or metal. Explore materials and options on our dental crowns page.
Crossbite
A bite problem where some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth instead of outside them. Left uncorrected it can wear teeth unevenly and strain the jaw; it is usually corrected with braces or aligners. See crossbite treatment.
Crowding (crowded teeth)
Too little space in the jaw for the teeth, so they overlap or twist. Besides appearance, crowding makes cleaning harder and raises the risk of decay and gum problems. Braces or aligners create room and align the teeth.
Cusps
The raised points on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth that grind food. Worn or fractured cusps can change how you bite and may need a filling, onlay or crown.
Deciduous teeth (milk teeth, baby teeth)
The first set of teeth, which appear from around six months and are gradually replaced by adult teeth between about ages 6 and 12. They hold space for the permanent teeth and matter for speech and chewing, so decay in them still needs care.
Dentin
The softer, sensitive layer beneath the hard enamel. It contains tiny tubules that connect to the nerve, which is why exposed dentin reacts to hot, cold and sweet. Protecting the enamel keeps the dentin covered.
Dental implant
A small titanium post placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root, holding a crown, bridge or denture. It looks and functions like a natural tooth and helps preserve the surrounding bone. In research reviews, implants show long-term survival commonly reported at around 90–95% or higher over ten years — individual results vary. See dental implants in Coimbatore.
Dentures
Removable replacements for missing teeth and gums — partial dentures fill in gaps, full dentures replace a whole arch. Modern dentures are custom-fitted to help you eat, speak and smile with confidence, and can also be implant-supported for extra stability.
Diastema (gaps between teeth)
A visible space between two teeth, most often the upper front teeth. It may be purely cosmetic or linked to tooth size, habits or gum attachment. Options range from bonding and veneers to aligners — see gaps between teeth treatment.
Dry socket
A painful complication that can follow an extraction if the protective blood clot is lost too early, exposing the bone. Smoking and using straws raise the risk, which is why aftercare instructions matter. It is treatable and settles with care.
Edentulous
Having no natural teeth remaining, whether from disease, injury or age. It affects eating, speech and facial support. Dentures, bridges and implants — including full-arch options — can restore both function and appearance.
Enamel
The hard, white outer shell of the tooth and the toughest tissue in the body. Acids from food, drinks and bacteria can wear it away, and once lost it does not grow back — so fluoride and good brushing keep it strong.
Endodontics (root canal treatment)
The field of dentistry that treats the pulp — the nerves and blood vessels inside the tooth. Its most familiar procedure is the root canal, which relieves pain from infection and keeps a tooth that might otherwise be lost.
Erosion
Loss of enamel from acids in the diet (fizzy drinks, citrus) or from stomach acid, rather than from bacteria. It makes teeth thinner, more sensitive and prone to chipping. Rinsing with water after acidic foods and using a soft brush both help.
Extraction (tooth removal)
Removing a tooth that is too damaged, infected or crowded to keep, or to make room for orthodontics. It is done under local anaesthesia, followed by clear aftercare to help healing. See tooth extraction.
Filling (dental filling)
A restoration that repairs a cavity by cleaning out the decay and rebuilding the tooth with a material such as tooth-coloured composite or silver amalgam. It stops the decay progressing and restores normal chewing. See dental fillings.
Fistula (gum boil)
A small pimple-like opening on the gum that drains pus from an underlying infection, often from a dead or abscessed tooth. It may relieve pressure but signals an infection that needs treatment at the source, usually a root canal or extraction.
Flap surgery (gum surgery)
A periodontal procedure that gently lifts the gum to clean deep deposits and infection from the roots and bone in advanced gum disease, then secures the gum back. See flap surgery.
Fluoride
A mineral that strengthens enamel and helps reverse the earliest stages of decay. It is found in toothpaste and can be applied as a professional varnish, which is especially useful for children and higher-risk patients. See fluoride treatment.
Frenectomy (tongue-tie / lip-tie release)
A short procedure that releases a tight band of tissue (a frenum) under the tongue or lip. It can help with feeding in babies, speech, and gaps or gum recession in older patients. See frenectomy.
Full-mouth rehabilitation
A coordinated plan that rebuilds worn, broken or missing teeth across the whole mouth using a combination of crowns, bridges, implants and other work, restoring both function and appearance in stages.
Gingivitis (gum inflammation, early gum disease)
The early, reversible stage of gum disease, where plaque makes the gums red, puffy and prone to bleeding. With better daily cleaning and a professional scale, gums usually recover fully. Ignored, it can progress. See gingivitis treatment.
Gingivectomy (gum trimming)
Removal of excess or overgrown gum tissue, whether from disease or to reshape a gummy smile. Lasers make it precise with less bleeding, and the gums heal to a more even line. Related to our gum contouring.
Graft (gum or bone graft)
Adding tissue or bone where it has been lost — to cover exposed roots, thicken thin gums or rebuild bone for an implant. The material may be your own, donor or synthetic. See gum grafting.
Gum disease (periodontal disease)
Infection of the gums and the bone that supports the teeth, ranging from mild gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. It is very common — the World Health Organization estimates severe gum disease affects around 1 billion people worldwide. Signs include bleeding, bad breath and loosening teeth. See our gum treatment.
Gum contouring (gum reshaping)
Reshaping the gum line, usually with a laser, to even out an uneven smile or reduce a gummy appearance. It is a cosmetic procedure often combined with veneers or whitening. See gum contouring.
Gutta-percha
A rubber-like, biocompatible material used to seal the cleaned canals inside a tooth after a root canal, keeping bacteria out. It is a routine, well-established step in saving an infected tooth.
Halitosis (bad breath)
Persistent bad breath, which can stem from bacteria on the tongue, gum disease, dry mouth or diet. Tongue cleaning, flossing and hydration help; when it lingers, we look for the underlying cause. See bad breath treatment.
Hypersensitivity (sensitive teeth)
Short, sharp pain from hot, cold, sweet or acidic triggers when dentin is exposed by receding gums, worn enamel or cracks. Desensitising toothpaste and in-clinic treatments can reduce it. See sensitive teeth treatment.
Hygienist (dental hygienist)
The clinician who professionally cleans your teeth, removes plaque and tartar, and coaches you on home care. Regular hygiene visits catch small problems early and are central to preventive dentistry.
Impaction (impacted tooth)
A tooth that cannot fully emerge because it is blocked by another tooth or bone — most often a wisdom tooth. It can cause pain, swelling or infection and may need removal. See wisdom tooth removal.
Inlay
A custom-made restoration, often ceramic, cemented into a prepared tooth to repair decay or damage too large for a simple filling but within the cusps. It is stronger than a direct filling and blends naturally.
Incisor
The flat front teeth — four upper, four lower — used for biting and cutting food. Being the most visible teeth, chips or stains here are often addressed with bonding or veneers.
Interdental
The spaces between teeth where a brush cannot reach and plaque collects. Cleaning them daily with floss, interdental brushes or a water flosser is key to preventing decay and gum disease between the teeth.
Invisalign (clear aligners)
A brand of clear aligner treatment that straightens teeth with a series of near-invisible, removable trays. It suits many adults who want a discreet option. See Invisalign and clear aligners.
Jawbone
The bone that anchors the teeth and shapes the lower face. When teeth are lost the bone can shrink over time, which is one reason implants — which stimulate the bone — help preserve it.
Jaw joint (TMJ)
The temporomandibular joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull and lets it open, close and move. Problems here can cause pain, clicking or limited opening. See TMJ and jaw pain treatment.
Laminate (veneer, laminates)
A thin, custom shell of porcelain or composite bonded to the front of a tooth to improve its colour, shape or alignment. It is a cornerstone of cosmetic dentistry. See dental veneers.
Laser dentistry
Using dental lasers for procedures such as gum treatment, reshaping and some soft-tissue surgery, often with less bleeding and faster healing. Our team uses it in laser gum therapy.
Local anaesthesia
An injection or gel that numbs only the area being treated, so you stay awake and comfortable, without feeling the procedure. Sensation returns as it wears off over a few hours.
Malocclusion (bad bite, crooked teeth)
Teeth that do not meet correctly — including overbite, underbite, crossbite and crowding. Besides appearance, it can affect chewing, speech and jaw comfort, and is corrected with braces or aligners. See crooked and misaligned teeth.
Mandible (lower jaw)
The movable lower jawbone that holds the bottom teeth and works when you speak and chew. Its position and health are part of planning bite correction and surgery.
Molar
The large, flat teeth at the back of the mouth that grind food, including the wisdom teeth. Their deep grooves are prone to decay, so sealants and thorough brushing help protect them.
Mouthguard
A protective device worn over the teeth — during sport to absorb impacts, or at night to reduce grinding damage. A custom-fitted guard from the clinic fits more securely than a shop-bought one.
Nightguard (bite guard)
A guard worn during sleep to cushion the teeth from grinding and clenching (bruxism), helping prevent wear, cracks and morning jaw pain. It is custom-made for comfort and fit.
Nerve
The living tissue inside the tooth's pulp that senses temperature and pain. When deep decay reaches it, the tooth aches; a root canal removes the damaged nerve while keeping the tooth in place.
Occlusion (bite)
The way the upper and lower teeth contact when you close and chew. Balanced occlusion spreads forces evenly; problems with it can lead to wear, fractures and jaw strain, so we check it during examinations.
Onlay
A custom restoration, larger than an inlay, that rebuilds one or more worn or damaged cusps while conserving more natural tooth than a full crown. It is cemented into place and blends in.
Open bite
A bite where the front teeth do not meet when the back teeth are closed, often making biting into food difficult. It is usually corrected with orthodontics and, in some cases, jaw treatment.
Oral hygiene
Your daily routine — brushing twice a day, cleaning between the teeth, and regular check-ups — that removes plaque and prevents decay, gum disease and bad breath. Simple habits with a large long-term payoff.
Oral surgery
Surgical treatment in and around the mouth and jaws, including complex extractions, impacted wisdom teeth and jaw procedures, carried out by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. See oral surgery.
Orthodontics
The field that straightens teeth and corrects the bite using braces, aligners and related appliances — improving not just appearance but chewing, cleaning and long-term tooth health. See orthodontic treatment.
Osseointegration
The process by which a dental implant fuses with the surrounding jawbone over a few months, giving it the firm anchorage needed to support a crown or bridge. It is the biological basis of how implants work.
Overbite
When the upper front teeth overlap the lower ones more than usual. Mild overbites are common; larger ones can cause wear or jaw strain and are treated with orthodontics.
Pericoronitis
Inflammation of the gum flap over a partially erupted tooth, typically a wisdom tooth, where food and bacteria get trapped. It causes pain, swelling and a bad taste, and often resolves once the tooth is removed.
Periodontics (gum treatment)
The field that treats the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, from deep cleaning to gum surgery and grafts. Regular care here saves teeth that gum disease would otherwise loosen. See periodontics and gum treatment.
Periodontitis (pyorrhea, advanced gum disease)
Advanced gum disease in which infection has damaged the bone around the teeth, causing gum recession, loosening and, if untreated, tooth loss. It can be controlled and stabilised — not truly reversed — with treatment and ongoing maintenance. See periodontitis treatment.
PFM crown (porcelain-fused-to-metal)
A crown with a metal core for strength and a porcelain outer layer for a natural look. It is a long-standing, cost-effective option, though all-ceramic crowns like zirconia are often chosen for front teeth today.
Plaque
The soft, sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on teeth. If not cleaned away it hardens into tartar and drives decay and gum inflammation, which is why daily brushing and cleaning between teeth matter.
Prophylaxis (professional cleaning, scaling & polishing)
A routine professional clean that removes plaque, tartar and stains and polishes the teeth, usually recommended every six months to help prevent disease. See dental cleaning and polishing.
Prosthodontics
The field focused on replacing and restoring teeth with crowns, bridges, dentures and implant-supported prosthetics, rebuilding both function and appearance — often the discipline behind full-mouth work.
Pulp
The soft core of the tooth containing the nerve and blood vessels. Deep decay or a crack can inflame or infect it, causing pain; a root canal removes the affected pulp and seals the tooth.
Pulpotomy (baby-tooth pulp treatment)
A procedure for children that removes only the infected upper part of a baby tooth's pulp while keeping the healthy root portion, saving the tooth until it is naturally lost. See pulpotomy for children.
Pulpectomy (baby-tooth root canal)
A root canal for a baby tooth, removing infected pulp from the crown and roots and filling them, so the tooth can stay in place and hold space for the adult tooth. See pulpectomy for children.
Restoration
Any dental work that repairs or replaces tooth structure — fillings, inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges and implants — to bring back normal function and appearance.
Retainer
The removable or fixed appliance worn after braces or aligners to hold teeth in their new position, since teeth naturally tend to drift back. Wearing it as advised keeps the result stable.
Ridge
The bony arch of the jaw that holds the teeth. After tooth loss it can shrink, affecting denture fit and implant placement, which is why a bone graft is sometimes used to preserve it.
Root canal (RCT)
Treatment that removes infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the canals, and relieves the pain of infection while keeping your natural tooth. Modern root canal treatment lets most treated teeth keep functioning for years, with studies reporting tooth survival often around 90% at ten years — results vary with the tooth and its restoration. See root canal treatment.
Root planing (deep cleaning)
Smoothing the tooth roots below the gum line to remove bacteria and tartar in gum disease, helping the gums reattach and pockets shrink. It is often paired with scaling. See scaling and root planing.
Scaling (tartar removal, teeth cleaning)
Removing hardened plaque (tartar) from the teeth and just below the gum line — the core of a professional clean. It is usually comfortable, with numbing if an area is sensitive. See scaling and cleaning.
Sealant (dental sealant)
A thin protective coating painted into the grooves of the back teeth to seal out food and bacteria and prevent decay. It is quick and especially useful for children's molars, and can last for years.
Sinus lift
A procedure that adds bone beneath the sinus in the upper jaw when there is not enough height to place an implant. It creates a solid base so an upper back-tooth implant can be placed safely.
Smile design (smile makeover)
A planned combination of cosmetic treatments — which may include whitening, veneers, bonding, gum reshaping or alignment — tailored to reshape a smile. See smile designing.
Space maintainer
A small appliance that holds the gap open when a child loses a baby tooth early, so the adult tooth has room to come through and neighbouring teeth do not drift. See space maintainers for children.
Splint
A device that joins and stabilises loose teeth — for example after injury or from gum disease — or protects teeth from grinding, allowing healing and reducing stress on the jaw.
Supernumerary teeth (extra teeth)
Extra teeth beyond the usual number, which can crowd or block other teeth. They are spotted on X-rays and removed if they cause problems, or monitored if they do not.
Tartar (calculus)
Hardened plaque that bonds firmly to the teeth and irritates the gums. Once formed it cannot be brushed off — only a professional scale removes it. Good daily cleaning slows how fast it builds up.
TMD / TMJ disorder (jaw joint disorder, jaw pain)
A group of problems affecting the jaw joint and muscles, causing pain, clicking, headaches or difficulty opening. Causes include clenching, injury and bite issues; treatment ranges from guards and exercises to targeted therapy. See TMJ and jaw pain treatment.
Tooth whitening (teeth whitening, bleaching)
A cosmetic treatment that lightens stained or discoloured teeth using professional gels, in-clinic or with take-home trays. It does not change the colour of crowns or fillings, and results vary with the type of staining. See teeth whitening.
Torque
In orthodontics, the controlled force applied to tip or rotate a tooth into its correct position — part of the fine-tuning that shapes the final bite and alignment.
Trench mouth (acute necrotising ulcerative gingivitis)
A severe gum infection causing painful ulcers, bleeding gums and bad breath, often linked to poor hygiene, stress or smoking. It needs prompt professional treatment to settle.
Underbite
A bite where the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth. It can make chewing harder and wear teeth unevenly, and is corrected with orthodontics or, in significant cases, jaw treatment.
Unerupted tooth
A tooth that has not yet broken through the gum, either because it is still developing or because it is impacted. If it causes problems such as cysts or pain, it is monitored or removed.
Veneer (laminate)
A thin, tooth-coloured shell bonded to the front of a tooth to improve colour, shape, chips or small gaps, with minimal removal of natural tooth. A popular part of smile makeovers. See dental veneers.
Vermillion border
The defined edge where the coloured part of the lips meets the surrounding skin — a landmark that guides cosmetic work near the front teeth and lips for a natural result.
Wisdom teeth (third molars)
The last molars, usually appearing in the late teens or early twenties. With little room they often become impacted and cause pain or infection, and are then removed. See wisdom tooth removal.
Whitening tray
A custom tray filled with bleaching gel for gradual whitening at home, worn for set times as directed. Following the instructions helps keep sensitivity to a minimum.
X-ray (dental radiograph)
Images that reveal what the eye cannot — decay between teeth, bone levels, infection and impacted teeth. Digital dental X-rays (IOPA, OPG) use low radiation and help us diagnose accurately and plan treatment.
Xerostomia (dry mouth)
Reduced saliva, which raises the risk of decay and infection and can follow certain medications, ageing or health conditions. Sipping water, sugar-free gum and special rinses help keep the mouth moist.
Zirconia (zirconia crown / cap)
A strong, tooth-coloured ceramic widely used for crowns and caps, combining durability with a natural appearance — a common choice for both front and back teeth. See dental crowns.

FAQs
Common questions about dental terms
Yes — “tooth cap” is the everyday name for a dental crown, the custom cover placed over a damaged or root-treated tooth to restore its shape and strength.
They are the same thing. A laminate is simply the common name for a dental veneer — a thin shell bonded to the front of a tooth to improve its colour or shape.
Gingivitis is early, reversible gum inflammation that usually recovers with good cleaning. Periodontitis is the advanced stage, where the supporting bone is affected — it can be controlled and stabilised, but not fully reversed.
Caries is the disease process — the acid attack that breaks down the tooth. A cavity is the hole it eventually creates. Caught early, caries can be halted before a cavity forms.
Yes. Baby teeth hold space for the adult teeth and matter for eating and speech, so decay and infection in them still need care to avoid problems later.
