Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  If dental plaque is permitted to continue to lie on the tooth’s surface, the decay process will progress until finally a point is reached where so much mineral content has been lost that a hole has formed in the tooth and a filling is needed.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  In dentistry, Veneers is a thin layer of restorative material placed over a tooth surface, either to improve the esthetics of a tooth, or to protect a damaged tooth surface. There are two types of material used in a veneer, composite and porcelain. A composite veneer may be directly placed (built-up in the mouth), or indirectly fabricated by a dental technician in a dental laboratory, and later bonded to the tooth, typically using a resin cement such as Panavia. In contrast, a porcelain veneer may only indirectly fabricated.
• Crowns
  A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth – covering the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Some times a tooth is considered so threatened (due to internal cracking etc) that future infection is considered likely or inevitable, and a pulpectomy is advisable to prevent it. But usually some inflammation an/or infection is already present, within or below the tooth. To cure the infection and save the tooth, it is necessary for the dentist to drill into the pulp chamber, and remove the infected pulp by scraping it out of the root canals.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  A dental implant is a titanium screw that attaches to your jaw bone where a single tooth restoration is placed upon or they can serve as attachments for fixed or removable dentures. During your visit all options for failing or missing teeth will be explained to you and whether dental implants are an option for you.

  A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from the mouth. Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons. Tooth decay (property known as dental caries) that has destroyed enough tooth structure to prevent restoration is the most frequent indication for extraction of teeth. Extractions of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth are routinely Performed, asare extractions of some permanent teeth to make space for orthodontic treatment (straightening of teeth).

  Brushing is important but it won’t remove the plaque and particles of food between your teeth, under the gumline, or under braces. You’ll need to floss these spaces at least once a day.
