Filling

Restoring lost tooth structure with composite resin. Used as part of the treatment of cavities.

Extraction

The removal of the tooth that is severly decayed, brooken, loose or is causing crowding.

Crown (5-8 days)

When a tooth is cracked, decayed, or damaged, a crown may need to be fitted onto the tooth. A crown is a permanent covering that fits over the original tooth. Crowns can be made from porcelain, gold and other metals or acrylic resin. Porcelain crowns typically have the most realistic look. Crowns can whiten, reshape, and realign existing teeth, adding to a healthy and brilliant smile.

Bridge (5-7 days)

A bridge is a device used to fill the space where a tooth has fallen out or been removed. A typical bridge consists of a pontic (a filler tooth) that is attached to two surrounding crowns (abutments). Once complete, the bridge structure is placed into the mouth. Without the use of a bridge, the space left by missing teeth can cause multiple teeth to shift possibly leading to occlusion (biting) or jaw problems and periodontal disease. Bridges safeguard the integrity of existing teeth and help maintain a healthy and radiant smile.

Veneer (Requires 5-7 days)

A veneer is a thin porcelain or plastic shell bonded to a tooth to improve its colour and shape. Although they can be made from different materials, porcelain is frequently used because of its durability and realistic appearance. Veneers are a more conservative alternative to crowns, since they require less removal of the tooth's original surface. With veneers in place, patients can expect straighter, whiter, and more even-looking teeth.

 

Denture

When multiple teeth are extracted, dentures may be the most appropriate solution. Dentures can give you a natural and healthy looking set of teeth and can greatly enhance the beauty of your smile and your self-esteem.

Dental implants

Dental implants are artificial abutment teeth made from a unique bio material and applied in the place of the lost tooth to hold a tooth replacement. The material is pure, unalloyed titanium which is not rejected by the human tissue.
During preliminary examinations the dentist checks the patient in order to decide whether the use of implants is possible. This includes a dental examination via X-Ray shots (of tooth substitution to see if the jaw is able to carry the implants).

Inlay

A custom-made cast of gold or porcelain alloy, that is cemented to a previously prepared cavity in the tooth. It is a stronger and longer-lasting alternative to amalgam or composite filling.

Onlay

An onlay is a restoration that extends beyond the cusp tip of a tooth. Onlays are fabricated from the finest raw materials such as gold, porcelain or resin-porcelain hybrid. Unlike crowns, onlays do not touch the gums, thus allowing for easier cleaning and healthier teeth and gums.

Scaling

Treatment against gum disease, involving removal of hardened plaque from teeth.
