Procedures Offered

• Composite Fillings: These are made from a durable, tooth-colored material that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. They are commonly used to repair cavities and minor tooth fractures, providing both aesthetic appeal and strength to restore functionality.
• Dental Crowns: Custom-made caps designed to cover and protect damaged teeth, dental crowns are crafted to restore the tooth’s original shape, size, and strength. They can be made from various materials, including porcelain, metal, or a combination, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance.
• Dental Bridges: A fixed prosthetic device, dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They are anchored by neighboring teeth, which provides stability and helps maintain the integrity of your smile and bite. Bridges not only restore function but also prevent neighboring teeth from shifting.
• Dental Implants: These involve surgically placing titanium posts into the jawbone, which serve as a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth. Dental implants can mimic the look and function of natural teeth and can last a lifetime with proper care, making them a popular choice for tooth replacement.
• Dentures: Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore the function and appearance of your smile. They can be complete, replacing all teeth in an arch, or partial, filling in gaps left by missing teeth. Made from durable materials like acrylic resin and sometimes metal, dentures are custom-fitted to ensure comfort and stability. Regular care and adjustments are important to maintain their fit and function over time.
• Root Canal Treatment: This procedure aims to save and repair a severely damaged or infected tooth by removing the infected pulp and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection. It alleviates pain and allows patients to keep their natural teeth, which is crucial for overall oral health.
• Extractions: Sometimes, teeth are beyond repair due to decay or damage. Extractions involve carefully removing these teeth to maintain overall oral health and prevent complications that could arise from leaving problematic teeth in place.
• Wisdom Teeth Removals: Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth can lead to pain, infection, and alignment issues. Extracting these teeth helps prevent future complications, preserving the health and alignment of the rest of your teeth. This procedure is common among adolescents and young adults as their wisdom teeth develop.
