Inlay and
onlay
Inlay or onlay is often used to repair the damage
that involve over the biting surface of a tooth rather than using
simple filling or crown. Inlay or onlay can be porcelain, gold,
or composite resin cast sections that are bonded to the damaged
area of a tooth. 
Inlay is similar to the fillings and lie inside
the cusp tips of the tooth; onlay is a more extensive reconstruction
that covers one or more cusps of a tooth.
We use gold or Empress porcelain inlays/onlays.
Porcelain is now becoming the material of
choice because of its strength and potential to match the natural
color of your tooth.
Duration: 1-2 weeks
Number of visits: 2-3 visits
Dental
Veneer
Dental
veneer is a thin covering of porcelain or composite over the enamel
of a tooth.
Veneers are common for teeth that are too small, too big, or have
uneven surfaces. It is very useful for people to have cosmetic improvements
(i.e.: shade, shape, lip support, cheek support, etc.).
Veneers are recommended for imperfect teeth, either oddly shaped
teeth, some malpositioned teeth, chipped teeth, crooked teeth, teeth
with small holes in them, or an inappropriate sized tooth. Veneers
solve such irregularities and create a durable and pleasing smile.
We use Empress type of all-ceramic veneer which is long lasting
and has high aesthetic value. It is also hardly distinguishable
from natural dentition. Also you can select the desired level of
teeth colour as you wish.
Duration: 1-2 weeks
Number of visits: 2-3 visits
BriteSmile Tooth Whitening
 BriteSmile is the best way to safely whiten your teeth with the most advanced technology available in tooth whitening today.
The BriteSmile Whitening System
?BriteSmile has revolutionized tooth whitening with the state-of-the-art technology that is safe and effective. BriteSmile is gentle. There's no laser, no heat, and no scraping. Our whitening system uses only two simple elements: gel and light.
The BriteSmile Light
The patented BriteSmile light is not a laser. It's a specially designed lamp that shines a gentle, blue light on your teeth. It works in tandem with our proprietary whitening gel to accelerate the whitening process. This light has been clinically proven safe for tooth enamel as well as skin, gums, and other soft tissues. It emits virtually no heat and no harmful UV (ultraviolet) light. Our lamps are uniquely shaped to illuminate and whiten all "smile line" teeth (top and bottom) at the same time, ensuring natural and uniform results.
The BriteSmile Whitening Gel
The BriteSmile light is used in combination with our patented whitening gel, which has been optimized for patient safety and maximum results. While other whitening gels contain as much as 35%-50% hydrogen peroxide, BriteSmile's proprietary gel contains only 15% peroxide and is buffered at a near-neutral pH value that is compatible with tooth enamel. The gel also contains other ingredients such as glycerin and highly purified water to prevent tooth dehydration and to further ensure safety. The gel is specifically engineered to respond to the blue wavelengths of our light system. When the light illuminates the gel, it activates and safely accelerates the whitening process, achieving amazing results in just one hour.
The BriteSmile teeth-whitening system is protected by numerous patents and therefore only available at BriteSmile whitening spas and the dental offices of trained BriteSmile professionals.
FAQ
 What
causes tooth discoloration?
There are many causes. The most common include aging, consumption
of coffee, tea, colas and smoking.
Why bleach your teeth?
Whitening has increased in popularity
in recent years as yellowed teeth are becoming less and less acceptable,
both socially and professionally.
Many people do it to boost their self image and self esteem. People
are drawn to your smile. A whiter grin can give you extra confidence
or boost those first impressions.
Why we choose BriteSmile Tooth Whitening?
Because it is faster and produces quicker results.
Who can use BriteSmile Tooth Whitening?
Nearly anyone, from the time their permanent teeth come in, can
be a candidate for tooth bleaching. If you want to obtain a more
confident smile by improving the whiteness of your teeth, consult
your dentist for guidance.
Does it work on Caps, Crowns, Veneers,
Non-vital tooth?
Caps, crowns, veneers and non-vital tooth cannot be whitened by
laser. Therefore, they must be matched to the shade of your teeth
after whitening. Previous white fillings in front teeth may need
to be redone.
How long will it last?
Non-smokers who don’t drink coffee or tea often see little
or no change for up to five years. But your own long-term results
will depend on your habits and the specific foods you eat. Based
on those variables, some patients may require a "touch-up"
treatment at regular intervals.
Is there any discomfort?
There is little, if any. Less than 10% of patients might feel an
increased sensitivity to cold, heat, or pressure during the whitening
process. Sensitivity ends a day or two after the treatment is completed.
Will whitening damage my teeth?
Not at all. The whitening process will not effect your enamel, tooth
structure, bonding or restorations. Whitening acts only on the molecules
that carry the discoloration.
What should I do after Laser Tooth
Whitening?
Tooth colour will continue to get lighter for about one week after
treatment.
Avoid smoking, drinking tea, coffee or red wine within the first
48 hours for the best result.
Tooth sensitivity can be subsided by mild analgesic.
A gradual darkening of teeth may happen as time passes. This will
depend on personal habits and diet such as smoking, drinking coffee,
tea or red wine etc. Proper oral hygiene care can generally avoid
diminished whitening results.
Suitability of Your Case for Laser Tooth Whitening:
Your suitability as a viable candidate for tooth whitening
will be determined during the consultation and oral examination
process. Not all people are qualified candidates for the procedure.
If Laser Tooth Whitening is deemed not appropriate for you, other
appropriate treatment options will be proposed.
Treatment Expectation upon Completion:
Significant whitening can be achieved in most cases,
but the level of whiteness achieved varies for each patient.
People with yellowish brown teeth tend to whiten faster and more
fully than people with grayish to grayish brown shaded teeth. There
is no definitive way to predict how light your teeth will become.
Your dentist will provide you with guidance as to the level of whiteness
your individual situation may achieve.
Alternative Treatment Options:
While the laser tooth whitening is by far the fastest,
most effective means (both in terms of results and speed)
for most people to whiten their teeth, there are other options available
to you for whitening teeth especially for people with dark grey
or dark brown color teeth.
These options are:
- Porcelain/Composite Veneers
- Porcelain Crown
- Combination with Gel/Tray System
Dentures
 Dentures
are removable appliances that are used to replace missing teeth.
Normally they are made of acrylic resin but can also be incorporated
into metal or porcelain for additional structural support.
There are two main types of dentures: Complete/Full
Dentures and Partial Dentures. Full dentures are used to replace
the upper and lower arches while no teeth remain.
Dentures aid patients in chewing food, smiling,
swallowing, restoring esthetics, supporting facial soft tissues,
cheeks and lips. It also helps to reestablish the vertical dimension
of the patient’s bite which is the distance between the chin
and nose. In addition dentures rid you of pronunciation problems
caused by missing teeth.
Duration: approx: 4 weeks
Number of visits: 5-6 visits
Dental implant
/ Tooth Implant
 Dental
implants are a recent technology used for replacing missing teeth
with a most natural look.
The dental implant is a titanium screw that is surgically placed
in the jaw. This implant eventually fuses with the bone around the
jaw about two to six months after surgery. These implants can then
be used to anchor crowns, bridges and dentures.
As the illustration to the left shows, the dental implant goes into
the jaw exactly like a natural tooth root.
Dental crowns can be made to cover the implant post. Many people
who have implants for a comfortable and cosmetic fit use porcelain
fused to gold crowns.
This is the "high tech" solution and
the most natural replacement to replace the lost tooth/teeth without
harming the remaining teeth and soft tissue.
Patients can receive several benefits from doing
the dental implant. Ideal results include restoration of normal
appearance of the missing tooth/teeth. Patients can achieve considerable
confidence during eating and talking. Also patients can enjoy the
long term safety of replacing their lost teeth with dental implant.

Preoperative evaluation
Dental implant is not suitable for everyone.
Patients are evaluated at a consultation appointment with respect
to their jaw size, bone volume, quality and quantity of bone, also
the condition of the opposing dentition. The anatomy of the front
of the lower jaw is studied by using x-rays taken at varying angles.
This evaluation is to ensure suitability for the tooth implant as
the components for the treatment are all precision made prefabricated
components. Therefore the size and shape of the jaw must comply
with established criteria.
Treatment procedures
The first step is the placement of titanium implants to replace
the lost teeth. These implants will remain covered underneath the
gum for approximately 3-6 months for lower teeth and 6 months for
upper teeth. During this time, the implants should fuse to the bone.
The second step of the procedure involves uncovering the implants
and attaching a post to each implant. This completes the foundation
on which the new teeth will be placed. In some instances, the surgeon
may decide to place the posts at the time of surgery.
The final step is the placement of new teeth by the dentist. With
techniques that ensure optimal size, shape, colour and fit, the
replacement teeth should blend with the patient’s facial characteristics
while providing support needed for natural appearance.
Implant FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Who can benefit from Dental Implants?
Those people who have missing teeth from decay, disease or injury
may be ideal candidates for implants. A qualified dentist prior
to the procedure for any contraindications should evaluate those
interested.
Are there any age-related problems?
Generally if you are healthy enough to have teeth extracted you
are likely able to have implants. Your dentist will evaluate you
to determine if any rare chronic diseases will prevent you from
having implants.
How will the new teeth look?
With professional and modern techniques, customers are very satisfied
with the comfortable fit, natural look and ease of use with dental
implants.
Are their advantages to implants over bridges and crowns?
?Enhanced look: Dental implants can improve facial appearance.
They stop the process of jawbone and facial shrinkage caused by
missing teeth.
?Maintained natural teeth: Traditional bridge and denture
construction requires healthy adjacent teeth for anchoring points.
Implants often eliminate the need to change healthy teeth.
?Permanent solution: No worries about loose dentures or bridgework
coming apart. Normally implants last a lifetime.
How much do implants cost?
The number of teeth replaced and the number of implants required
are factors that affect costs for dental implants. In addition,
if procedures are required to support implants, this may increase
fees as well. A dental surgeon can give you a good estimate of costs
after a complete examination.
How will dental implants affect my life?
Your dental implants look, feel and work like your natural teeth.
You will be able to eat, drink as before. You may have improved
confidence and self-esteem as a result of your improved look.
Will I be able to chew the same?
Yes. After a brief adaptation period, your ability to chew is the
same as it was.
How much time is required for an implant placement?
The time factor can vary according to the treatment options, number
of teeth replaced, implants required and overall health of the patient.
There are 2 procedures now for implants. The traditional treatment
is done in two sessions separated by a 3-month healing period. A
new single session approach is suitable for many patients and cuts
the time factor considerably. Your dentist will assist in determining
the proper procedure option.
Will the procedure be painful?
As with most surgeries, some patients may have pain. Sedation and
anesthesia will make the procedure itself comfortable for you. Many
are surprised at how the procedure was less painful than anticipated.
The dentist can prescribe medicine to relieve discomfort following
the procedure. You may ask the dentist to refer you to someone who
had the procedure for his or her personal feedback.
How will I feel after the treatment?
Normally there is a small amount of bruising and swelling that is
usually relieved with medication. Most patients are able to work
the next day.
How will I care for my implants?
Care of your implants is the same as for your natural teeth. Daily
brushing and flossing followed by regular 6-month dental visits
are the best routine.

Crown /
Bridge
Placing an crown is common for broken, brittle
or severely decayed tooth.
Dental bridge is an artificial tooth which is fused between two
porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth. This
method is very common for replacing one or more missing teeth.
 Bridges
are permanently fixed in your mouth so you cannot take it out of
your mouth. Placing crown or bridge is very reliable to solve severe
dental problems to permanently restore the missing tooth/teeth,
functional and aesthetic appearance.
We use porcelain crowns and bridges that closely blend into the
surrounding natural teeth.
Duration: 1-2 weeks
Number of visits: 2-3 visits
Tooth Coloured
Fillings
Tooth coloured fillings can be used to repair problems with either
front or
back teeth. Most of the materials for these white fillings are made
of
resin.
In front teeth, these fillings are used to repair
dental decay, erosion or
abrasion problems. In back teeth, white fillings can be  used
to repair
small decay or erosion problems, or replace the silver fillings
to looks
just as if the tooth had no filling at all. For more severe problems,
these
fillings may not be the best solution, and we may need to use porcelain
veneers, ceramic inlays, crowns and bridges. These fillings can
sometimes
be used to repair “sensitive?teeth.
Braces
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes
in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of problems in the alignment
of teeth and jaws.
The technical term for these problems is malocclusion,
which means bad bite.
Common problems include teeth crowding, protruding
of upper teeth, spacing, open bite, deep overbite, cross bit and
lower jaw protrusion.
These problems can be solved by the use of corrective
appliances such as braces, plates, headgears, functional appliances
and retaining appliances.
