Composite white fillings, made of plastic resin and glass particles, offer a natural-looking alternative to silver amalgam fillings. Placed in layers, they bond securely to the tooth structure and require minimal removal of healthy tooth material. Their ability to blend with the natural tooth colour makes them ideal for visible areas. Composite fillings provide durability and support, reducing the risk of tooth fracture.
While they may require periodic replacement, proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups ensure their longevity. With aesthetic appeal and functional benefits, composite white fillings offer an excellent choice for cavity restoration and minor tooth damage.
Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They consist of prosthetic teeth attached to a gum-coloured base made of acrylic or metal. Dentures restore chewing function, improve speech, and enhance facial appearance for individuals missing multiple teeth. Partial dentures replace some missing teeth, while complete dentures replace an entire arch. They are custom-made to fit the patient's mouth comfortably and securely.
With proper care and regular adjustments, dentures can provide functional and aesthetic benefits, restoring confidence and quality of life for those with missing teeth.
Tooth extractions involve the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure may be necessary due to severe decay, damage, infection, overcrowding, or orthodontic treatment. Before extraction, the area is numbed with local anesthesia to minimise discomfort. The tooth is then carefully loosened and removed using specialised instruments.
After extraction, the dentist may place gauze over the socket to control bleeding and promote healing. Patients are provided with post-extraction care instructions to manage any discomfort and prevent complications. Tooth extractions are common, safe procedures performed by dental professionals to preserve oral health and alleviate pain.
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their strength, function, and appearance. Made from materials such as porcelain, metal, or a combination, crowns are custom-designed to match the colour and shape of natural teeth. The procedure involves reshaping the tooth to accommodate the crown, taking impressions for precise fabrication, and bonding the crown securely in place.
Crowns protect and reinforce compromised teeth, preventing further damage and decay. They can also improve the aesthetics of discoloured, misshapen, or poorly aligned teeth, restoring both oral health and confidence in one's smile.
Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between adjacent teeth. Consisting of artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by dental crowns or metal wings, bridges restore chewing function, improve speech, and prevent shifting of remaining teeth.
The procedure involves preparing the adjacent teeth to support the bridge, taking impressions for fabrication, and cementing the bridge in place. With proper care, bridges provide a durable and natural-looking solution for missing teeth, restoring oral function and aesthetics while maintaining the integrity of the dental arch.
Inlays and onlays are indirect restorations used to repair damaged or decayed teeth. Inlays fit inside the cusps (points) of a tooth, while onlays extend over one or more cusps. Made from materials like porcelain, composite resin, or gold, they are custom-made in a dental lab to match the shape and colour of the tooth. The procedure involves removing decayed or damaged tooth structure, taking impressions for precise fabrication, and bonding the restoration securely in place.
Inlays and onlays provide durable, natural-looking solutions for restoring the strength, function, and appearance of teeth while preserving more healthy tooth structure compared to traditional fillings.
