Cosmetic Composite Tooth-alike Fillings

Silver fillings can make people think twice about smiling large without flashing their metallic fillings. Tooth-colored dental fillings help to maintain the natural beauty of your smile. 


These composite resin fillings have replaced traditional silver fillings and are discreet enough to be not noticed. 


Where can these cosmetic fillings be done?

They are used to fix cavities or decay, small cracks and even gaps between your teeth.


Benefits:

• Minimally-invasive
• Cost-effective 
• Bond better with the tooth structure 
• Increased strength and durability 
• Do not require removal of your tooth structure like how a metal filling requires


How are the composite fillings done?

• A composite resin material (dispensed through the syringe) is carefully applied on the prepared tooth surface in layers and allowed to harden using a special UV light
• Multiple shades are blended to match the colour and contour of the tooth
• Once the filling is completed, it is polished to create a natural appearance of the tooth

Our priority is to protect your teeth and prevent further breakage. Contact us to find out more.

Dental Inlays & Onlays

In case of moderate damage to your tooth, instead of fillings or full crown your dentist may recommend onlay or inlay. They are considered better alternatives to crown because they save more of the original tooth structure. What are Inlays and Onlays? They are indirect fillings or partial crowns which are fabricated in a dental laboratory and then bonded to the tooth. Inlay is placed when the cusp of the tooth (top structure of the rear teeth) is involved by decay or fracture whereas onlays repair the biting surfaces of teeth when one or more cusps are involved. Dental inlay is placed in the centre of the tooth whereas dental onlay is placed involving the inside and outer areas of the tooth. They can be of various types of materials like gold or tooth coloured fillings like ceramic or composites. Benefits: Precise size and shape of the involved section of the tooth Less contraction and accurate fit as compared to a filling Low chances of failure Increase

Flexible Partial Dentures

A denture is a type of dental prosthesis designed to replace missing teeth. It is composed of two parts: denture base and teeth. Flexible dentures are called as flexible because the denture base is made of a softer nylon material which is more flexible than traditional acrylic denture bases. They are meant for partial replacement of your dentition. What are the advantages? More comfortable to wear and better fit since they conform to your gums unlike the rigid traditional dentures. This reduces the risk of sores and irritation. Less fragile and less likely to break. Not bulky; so they feel much more natural when you wear them. Blends in your mouth well.
