What treatments do we offer?

General dentists treat both restorative and cosmetic dental issues. Some of the treatment options we offer are as follows:

Oral cleaning: Plaque and tartar deposits tend to get accumulated on the teeth' surface despite thorough brushing and flossing. If the deposits are left for a long time on the teeth' surface, they could give rise to tooth decay and gum diseases. Hence, visiting the dentist once every six months for an oral cleaning session is essential.

Treating tooth decay: Eating a lot of sugary foods, improper brushing of the teeth, and tartar accumulation on the surface of the teeth can lead to tooth decay. Failing to get them restored at the earliest can put the entire tooth at risk of being extracted. Hence, we would remove the decay and apply a suitable tooth-colored filling material to it.

Treating gum diseases: Gum diseases are mostly caused due to the accumulated tartar deposits on the surface of the teeth and root surfaces. This leads to issues such as gum recession, jawbone deterioration, and decay of tissues. We offer treatment to gum diseases using a medication, laser therapy, deep cleaning, and gum grafting.

Replacing missing teeth: Tooth extractions are required when patients suffer a damaged or infected tooth. But, leaving them as is can lead to various issues. To avoid the drawbacks, getting them restored using dental badges or implants would be suggested. In case a large number of teeth are missing, we would suggest dentures for the purpose.

Teeth Whitening: Teeth staining is a common issue among our patients. In most cases, the cause of the discoloration is excessive consumption of colored foods, smoking cigarettes, or improper oral cleaning. The stains can be removed from the surface of the teeth using teeth whitening solutions. We use a whitening gel that contains hydrogen peroxide for this purpose.

Restoring damaged teeth: Teeth undergo damage due to excessive wear, external trauma, or when you bite into something too hard. This can result in cracks or chipping that effect both the aesthetics and strength of the teeth. Such teeth can be restored using dental restoratives such as crowns, veneers, onlays, composite bonding, etc.

Orthodontics: Malocclusion is one of the most common cosmetic dental issues. It also affects the way a patient bites and chews food. We offer customized, orthodontic solutions to treat a malocclusion. Among them, Invisalign is one of the most advanced and effective ones.

Preventive dentistry: Keeping an oral infection at bay is always better than getting it treated after taking a toll on your oral health. Preventive dentistry plays a significant role in this regard. We offer treatment solutions such as Fluoride treatment, oral prophylaxis, oral cancer screening, salivary diagnosis, etc.
