DENTURES

A denture is used to replace missing teeth in the mouth and can be taken out of the mouth by the patient. The main body of the denture is commonly made of acrylic and may or may not include metal components in its design. Depending on the condition of the teeth remaining, the choice of the material will be advised by the dentist.

BONE GRAFTING

It is important that dental implants are placed in sufficient volume of good quality bone. However, for some people, jawbone shrinkage after the loss of teeth leaves them without enough bone to secure an implant.

VENEERS

Porcelain veneers or laminates are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded on the front of the teeth.

There are generally about 0.3-0.7mm thick, roughly 2 times the thicknesses of an egg shell.

CROWNS AND BRIDGES

A crown is a “cap” that covers most or all of the visible portion of a tooth. It is cemented in place and cannot be removed for daily cleaning. Crowns may be made of metal or tooth coloured ceramic or a combination of both materials.

TOOTH COLOURED FILLINGS

Dental fillings are used as part of the restorative process after a tooth is damaged by decay, trauma or tooth wear. Tooth-coloured fillings are much more frequently used as compared to metal fillings due to the development of newer and stronger filling materials available.

FISSURE SEALANTS

Fissure sealant is a small filling that is placed on the grooves of the biting surface of posterior teeth. The grooves and pits of molars are areas that are particularly difficult to clean thoroughly. Food and bacteria tends to stick to them and cause decay over time.

TEETH WHITENING

Over the years, teeth can become discoloured or stained due coffee, tea, soft drinks, tobacco and other foods. Teeth Whitening can be done to remove these stains that have been absorbed and restore that dazzling smile.

FLUORIDE APPLICATION

After your general check-up and clean with your dentist, he or she may recommend fluoride application. This is especially useful in patients with a higher risk of developing caries (tooth decay).

SCALING AND POLISHING; GUM TREATMENT

As the adage goes, “Prevention is better than cure.”

Teeth cleanings are an essential part of maintaining oral and overall health. Cleanings are referred to as “scaling and polishing”.
