Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is generally used to refer to any dental work that improves the appearance of teeth, gums and/or bite. It primarily focuses on improvement dental

aesthetics in color, position, shape, size, alignment and overall smile appearance.

Denture Implant

The main idea behind dental implants is to insert a metal base or frame into the space where a tooth was, therefore securing the dentures. But there are several options when it comes to denture implants. Denture implants help preserve your jaw bone and help your mouth look more natural.

Teeth Whitening

Tooth whitening lightens teeth and helps to remove stains and discoloration. Whitening is among the most popular cosmetic dental procedures because it can greatly improve how your teeth look. Whitening is not a one-time procedure. It will need to be repeated from time to time if you want to maintain the brighter color.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. They are a popular choice for those with chipped teeth, a gap between teeth, or misshaped teeth.

Periodontal Therapy

Periodontal therapy includes both surgical and non-surgical techniques to restore health to the tissues that support the teeth (gums and bone) and prevent tooth loss. Dental plaque is the main cause of periodontal disease, so it's essential to remove it every day with effective brushing and flossing.

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is necessary when the centre part within the tooth, known as the pulp, housing the blood vessels, nerves and living connective tissues, become infected or inflamed. The root canal procedure is performed to save a damaged or badly infected tooth, instead of extracting it.

Mercury-Free Restorations

Metal-free fillings also don’t contain mercury fillings give you the most realistic natural appearance. Instead of being made from metal, the fillings are made from a composite or ceramic material that closely resembles your tooth.

Dental Crown/Same day Crowns

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth -- to cover the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance. The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. You can now get same-day crowns, which basically means that your new teeth are designed and fitted on the same day.

Dental Implants/ Tooth Implant

Dental implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums. They are used to secure crowns (the parts of teeth seen in the mouth), bridgework or dentures by a variety of means.

Dentists are oral health experts. They have the skills, training and expertise to know how the health of your teeth, gums and mouth relates to your general health. Each patient has unique problems and concerns and the dentist develops and carries out unique treatment plans for each individual.
