Services

Implant Dentistry

  • Dental Implant Placement: The surgical process of placing a dental implant into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root.
  • Bone Grafting: In cases where there is insufficient bone mass in the jaw, bone grafting may be performed to augment the bone and provide a stable foundation for the implant.
  • Abutment Placement: After the implant has integrated with the jawbone, an abutment is attached to the implant to connect the implant with the dental prosthesis.
  • Prosthesis Placement: The final step involves attaching a crown, bridge, or denture to the abutment, completing the tooth replacement.

Orthodontics

  • Braces: Traditional braces consist of brackets attached to the teeth connected by wires. They apply continuous pressure to gradually move teeth into the desired position.
  • Clear Aligners: Custom-made, transparent aligners (e.g., Invisalign) that are removable and gradually move the teeth into alignment.
  • Retainers: After orthodontic treatment, retainers are often used to maintain the newly aligned teeth by preventing them from shifting back.
  • Palatal Expanders: Devices used to widen the upper jaw in cases of crowding or a narrow palate.

General Dentistry

  • Dental Cleanings: Regular professional cleanings to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth.
  • Fillings: Treatment for dental cavities involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the space with a restorative material such as amalgam or composite.
  • Root Canal Therapy: Treatment for infected or inflamed tooth pulp involves removing the pulp, cleaning the canal, and sealing it to prevent further infection.
  • Dental Crowns and Bridges: Crowns are used to cover and protect damaged teeth, while bridges replace missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth.
  • Preventive Care: Education and treatments (such as fluoride application and dental sealants) to prevent dental issues.
