Veneers
Veneers are made from porcelain; it is used as a new surface for a damaged tooth. Veneers are very versatile and are used to straighten protruding & crooked teeth, seal gaps and lighten the colour of teeth. Their appearance and strength are easily comparable to natural teeth. Veneers are excellent when permanent changes are made to a smile.Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor. Dental implants provide a strong foundation for permanent or removable prosthesis (replacement teeth) that are made to match your natural teeth. They are manufactured from biologically neutral pure Titanium or titanium alloys, that is accepted by the human body and these implants fuse with the jawbone to form a secure foundation for tooth replacement.
Kids Dentistry
As toddlers advance into childhood, many parents need guidance to help their children develop good oral hygiene habits and get the nutrition they need. Oftentimes, parents also have questions about tooth development, sealants and fluoride, when to schedule dental visits, and when to consider braces. Our expert family and cosmetic dentists, address the answers to common questions like these below.They are both very important. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and makes teeth more resistant to decay. Sealants protect teeth from plaque and acids on the tooth's surface, which is where most cavities originate. When will I know if my child needs braces? It varies with every individual, but most children get braces between the ages of eight and 14. During this age range, the teeth can be easily straightened because the head and mouth are still growing.
Braces/orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontics, the branch of dentistry concerned with the growth of the teeth, jaws and face, is in high demand. Orthodontic treatment is about making the best of your teeth; it's about improving the harmony of your mouth and jaws. Once you can bite together correctly, you can eat more comfortably and care for your teeth and gums more easily. And your smile will benefit immensely.Every patient needs tailor-made treatment, planned by the orthodontist and agreed with you, the patient. In order to decide what treatment is required for you, your orthodontist will need to carry out a full assessment of your teeth which is likely to include x-rays, impressions (moulds of the teeth) and photographs.
Gum Treatment
Periodontitis is inflammatory diseases affecting the periodontium - that is, the tissues that surround and support the teeth. Periodontitis involves progressive loss of the bone around the teeth, and if left untreated, can lead to the loosening and cause loss of teeth. Periodontitis is caused by microorganisms that attach and grow on the tooth's surfaces. A diagnosis of periodontitis is established by inspecting the soft gum tissues around the teeth with a probe (i.e. a clinical exam) and by evaluating the patient's x-ray films (i.e a radiographic exam), to determine the amount of bone loss around the teeth.Periodontitis is inflammatory diseases affecting the periodontium - that is, the tissues that surround and support the teeth.
