Dental Consultation

During a dental check-up or recall exam, your dentist will look for oral health problems that you can’t always see or feel like dental caries, gum infections, tooth erosion, early signs of gum disease, oral cancer, and other problems that could affect your general health. At the end of this appointment, you will have a more thorough understanding of the condition of your teeth and mouth, as well as all options for treatment. This provides you with all the information needed to choose the treatment that’s right for you. It is very important to see your dentist every six months in order to treat any problems and prevent further complications that will cost you a lot.

Restoration: Dental Filling

A dental filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. When a dentist gives you a filling, he or she first removes the decayed tooth material, cleans the affected area, and then fills the cleaned-out cavity with a filling material.

Fillings are also used to repair cracked or broken teeth and teeth that have been worn down from misuse such as from nail-biting or tooth grinding. The dentist will tell you what type of restorative material will be used depending on the case of your tooth.

Scaling /Cleaning

A scaling/cleaning is a dental procedure that is performed to help reduce the risk of gum and tooth disease. Also known simply as a prophylaxis, this procedure is recommended to be taken every six months or yearly, depending on a patient’s history.

During a dental prophylaxis, your dentist will also inspect your teeth and jaw for any obvious signs of ill health. This inspection may reveal underlying medical issues such as receding gums, erupting wisdom teeth, dental cavities, or even oral cancer – some of which will require immediate treatment. Early identification of dental problems can help you deal with them before they become serious.

Tooth Polishing

This is a dental procedure that will make your tooth shine and glossy. Another benefit for this procedure is that, it will remove dental stains, plaque, tartar and even microorganisms formed or hardened on your tooth which can help you to have that beautiful smile.

Tooth Extraction

You and your dentist may determine that you need a tooth extraction for any number of reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment. The removal of a single tooth can lead to problems related to your chewing ability, problems with your jaw joint, and shifting teeth, which can have a major impact on your dental health. We will discuss alternatives to extractions as well as replacement of the extracted tooth during your initial consultation.

Crown / Bridge

Dental crown or bridges are a natural looking option to replace missing tooth or teeth.
A bridge is fixed in your mouth so you don’t have to worry about it falling while you are speaking or laughing. There is no need to take it out and clean it like a denture. You just have to follow a special cleaning instruction from your dentist.

Based on studies fixed bridgework, like individual crowns, is very predictable, durable and lasts a considerable length of time and it could even last a lifetime. Though it may sometimes come loose or fall out. With proper care and good oral hygiene, it is a good investment.

Veneers / Laminates

A dental veneer is a thin layer or shell of material that covers the front visible part of your tooth. It is similar in concept to how fake nails are stuck onto your real ones.

Porcelain veneers can improve shape, colour and position (if minor) all at once. Therefore, if you have a range of cosmetic flaws such as spaces, discolouration, staining, chipped or fractured teeth, these can all be dealt with at the same time. A combined approach using other treatments may be needed depending on the situation.

Dentures

A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. There are two types of dentures available, complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.

We want you to have the best dentures at a price that suits your budget. That’s why we have several types of dentures for you.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening done in the dental office is the most effective and safest way to whiten the teeth.

A whitening solution will be applied to your teeth followed by an exposure to light that will enhance the whitening process.

Please do remember that results could vary from one patient to another because of several factors such as the cause of stain and the natural colour of the teeth.

WISDOM TOOTH SURGERY

Impacted / Third Molar Removal

Wisdom teeth usually begin to come in between the ages of 17 and 21. Dentists call these teeth third molars. They may become impacted because there’s not enough room in your mouth for them. A wisdom tooth also might be trying to come in sideways. Or, it might be tilted in your jaw. An impacted tooth can be painless. You may not even realize it’s there. However, when an impacted wisdom tooth tries to come in, the flap of gum on top of it can become infected and swollen. This can hurt. You might even feel pain in nearby teeth, or in the ear on that side of your face.

Many people have all four of their wisdom teeth taken out at once. Sometimes this surgery is done before the teeth have started coming in. This prevents future problems. This usually is done in an oral and maxillofacial surgeon’s office with sedation and local anaesthesia. Often, it is better to have your wisdom teeth taken out before you turn 21. The surgery usually is less complicated. The tissue and bone also heal better.

Root Canal Treatment

A root canal therapy is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it and then filling and sealing it. The common causes affecting the pulp are a cracked tooth, a deep cavity, repeated dental treatment to the tooth or trauma. The term “root canal” comes from cleaning of the canals inside the tooth’s root.

Intra-oral Xray

Intra-oral x-rays is available in the centre. This procedure will give a lot of details and information’s that will help the dentists decide which dental procedure is necessary for each patient. The result will let the doctor look for cavities, see the health condition of your oral cavity and will check the status of your teeth and the general condition of your mandibular bone.
