Dental Care

It is dentistry for children from birth to childhood. Pedodontist can understand nature of children's teeth which are called primary teeth, and also the permanent teeth of children and adolescents. It comprises of:

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 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.

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.

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

Crown lengthening is a procedure for improvement of “gummy smile”. Your teeth may not be too short as its appearance but they are covered with too much gum tissue. In order to uncover more natural tooth, excess gum and excess bone tissue is lift. This can be performed to a tooth, to your gum line, or to several teeth. Of course, crown lengthening creates your beautiful smile.

Crown lengthening is sometimes recommended for a patient whose tooth is decayed, broken the gum line or whose tooth has insufficient structure for restoration (crown or bridge). It adjusts gum and bone level before getting bridge / crown done properly.

Crown lengthening brings you a nice smile.

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 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.

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.

Root canal treatment or endodontics is a treatment for a pulp (blood / nerve supply of a tooth) which infected through decay or injury. The symptoms of infection can range from dull ache to severe pain and the tooth may be tender when you bite. Some cases may learn about pain, darkness and moving tooth after the earlier period.

The aim of the treatment is to remove all infection and abscesses from the root canal. The root is then cleaned and filled to prevent any further infection. If root canal treatment (RCT) is not carried out, the infection will spread and the tooth may need to be taken out.

Root canal treatment is performed under local anesthesia.

In the past, root canal treatment is a time-consuming procedure. Around 2 – 3 visits are required. Now, only 1 visit is required. The procedure starts with a removal of infected pulp and follow with drainage of abscesses (if any). The root canal is then cleaned. The last process is getting filling done.

After root canal treatment, dental crown may be necessary to provide extra support and strength to the tooth.

Gum disease treatment or deep cleaning is a surgery for a reduction of periodontal pocket. Gum disease is a bacterial infection that creates a periodontal pocket which can not clean by brushing and flossing. Gum disease causes tooth loss after the age of 30.

It involves smoothing the root surfaces of the teeth with thin curettes so gum tissue can more firmly reattach to roots that are clean and smooth to prevent tooth loss and sensitivity problems.
