Expertise & Services Provided
- Dental Implant Surgery: Involves inserting artificial tooth roots (implants), typically crafted from biocompatible materials like titanium, into the jawbone. These dental implants serve as a robust foundation for attaching dental crowns, bridges, or dentures, effectively restoring both the aesthetics and functionality of the patient’s smile.
- Full Mouth Rehabilitation: A full mouth rehabilitation utilises a combination of dental techniques—including implants, crowns, bridges, and dentures—to comprehensively address extensive oral health issues, enhancing both the functionality and aesthetics of the entire dentition.
- Dental Filling: This common dental repair involves filling cavities or repairing damaged sections of teeth using materials such as composite resin, porcelain, or amalgam. The tooth filling procedure not only treats decay but also helps prevent further deterioration while maintaining or restoring the tooth’s natural shape.
- Teeth Cleaning: Professional teeth cleaning involves removing plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth’s surface. Regular scaling and polishing are vital for preventing gum disease and tooth decay and maintaining fresh breath.
- Teeth Whitening:Â This cosmetic dental treatment applies a bleaching gel, activated by specific lighting techniques, to reduce dental discolouration and stains, enhancing the whiteness of teeth. Depending on the desired outcome, multiple teeth whitening treatment sessions might be necessary.
- Tooth Extraction: When a tooth is beyond repair due to decay or damage, it may need to be removed. The extraction process involves carefully removing the tooth from the jawbone, often necessary to prevent further oral health complications.
- Sinus Lift Surgery:This surgical intervention is performed to augment bone density in the upper jaw by the molars and premolars. It involves lifting the sinus membrane to create space for additional bone necessary for the secure placement of dental implants.
- Wisdom Tooth Removal:Â The removal of wisdom teeth involves local anaesthesia to numb the area, followed by surgical removal of the tooth through incisions in the gum tissue. The site is then sutured to promote healing.
- Root Canal: This treatment addresses infections or inflammation of the tooth pulp. The infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. This procedure not only alleviates pain but also helps preserve the tooth’s functionality.
