Diagnostic

Restorative

• Fillings
  Composite fillings tend to be used as an alternative to metal or silver amalgam fillings and are used to treat decay on a portion of a tooth to replace an old silver amalgam filling and to maintain a white smile. Composite fillings are more than just attractive and they have distinct advantages over other types of fillings especially metal ones.
• Veneers
  A Veneer is a thin layer of restorative material placed over a tooth's surface to improve the look and appearance of the tooth as well as to protect a damaged surface. There are many different types of veneer surfaces including a composite or porcelain layer. By placing ceramic porcelain on the surface of teeth, dentists can provide patients with bright, straight, and natural looking smiles.
• Crowns
  A Dental Crown is a cap that is placed on or over a tooth to restore its shape and size. This crown adds strength and stability to a tooth to improve its appearance. The crowns, when placed correctly will fully encase the visible portion of an exposed tooth that lies in or at the gumline in your mouth.
• Bridges
  These are root replacement made of titanium. They help the jaw bone to heal and form a basis for a replacement tooth. It may not be a cheap process, but it is worth it. You can have your tooth replaced once the titanium root is well established. There is no limit to how many teeth you can replace through this method of dental implants instead of dental bridges.
• Dental Bonding
  A dentist can use resin putty in color just like your teeth to correct a dental problem. Once the putty-like stuff is applied, it is then dried using UV light. This procedure can be done on a cracked, chipped, misshapen, or decaying tooth. In some other cases, it is used instead of the standard silver fillings.

• Overdentures
  They are one of the many types of overdenture held in place by an implant. Unlike conventional dentures, these ones do not rest upon the gums. They are best for persons who have no teeth at all, but their jawbones can support implants. The dentures have special supporting parts that will fix them onto the jawbones.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  There are a number of reasons for individuals to require oral surgery. Oral Surgery can help with impacted teeth, with one common type of impacted teeth being Wisdom Teeth. Wisdom Teeth can become impacted when they emerge later in life, once the molars have already developed. Wisdom Teeth more often than not do not have the proper spacing to rise naturally and they impact with the molars in the rear of the mouth. This can be very painful and dangerous and impacted teeth can cause permanent damage to nearby teeth and gums.
