Same Day Dental Crown

We have highly qualified general dentists ensuring your dental well-being. Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art dental equipment to perform any kind of dental procedure. Dental problems can affect at any age, from early childhood to an advanced age. These problems can have serious implications such as severe pain, discomfort, esthetic, and phonetic issues. We have built our dental practice on an empathic approach offering fast relief from these problems. Our expertise in general dentistry can be classified into the following sections.

Root Canal Therapy

On diagnosis of infection in the tooth pulp, we may suggest root canal treatment to save the tooth. We would remove the infected pulp. The inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, followed by filling and sealing. A fully grown tooth can survive without its pulp because it continues to be nourished by the surrounding soft tissue. This not only saves the tooth from extraction but also you can resume normal functions like chewing in no time. Contrary to popular belief, the root canal is a relatively painless procedure that can be done in one or two sessions at our clinic.

Tooth Extractions & Bone Preservation

If the tooth cannot be saved due to advanced decay, we will extract it and replace it with an artificial tooth. Our specialists can perform tooth extraction and implant procedure with minimum discomfort. If you have a painful wisdom tooth, we will remove that too.

Preventative Dentistry

We cannot recommend enough the need to undergo regular dental checkups. It is considered a fundamental aspect of preventive dentistry because it helps to identify potential dental problems and rectify them. Preventive dentistry includes full-mouth prophylaxis and identification of dental cavities. The best practices of preventive dentistry start at home for both children and adults. Brushing twice daily and flossing effectively prevents the formation of plaque and cavities on teeth. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Dentures

Dentures are prosthetics to replace missing teeth. They are used when all or some of the teeth are missing. There are two kinds of dentures. First, you have snap-on dentures that are easily removable. Next, you have the ‘permanent’ dentures that are fixed to the gums with the use of implants. The type of denture you need will depend on a variety of factors like health conditions, bone availability, and budget. Our specialist orthodontists can attach overdenture implants comfortably so that you have a set of ‘permanent’ artificial teeth. We always recommend having implanted teeth when you are an eligible candidate because of its multiple benefits over traditional dentures.

Composite dental fillings

Composite dental fillings are tooth-colored resin fillings used to seal cavities caused by tooth decay. They offer good durability and resistance to fractures. These natural-looking fillings are used more commonly instead of metallic amalgams because of their natural appearance. Besides, amalgam fillings are prone to cause damage to the particular tooth and even the surrounding teeth. Since metals expand and contract under the influence of hot or cold temperatures, they can cause cracks to appear in the teeth. There are no such problems with composites. There are fewer restrictions on using these, and these can be placed very easily.
