  • Implants are metal fixtures surgically attached below the gums, providing stable support for artificial teeth through osseointegration.

    Guided implant surgery utilizes digital treatment planning (DTP) to ensure precision, efficiency, and safety. CBCT scans and digital impressions are merged to create a surgical plan, controlling implant trajectory with a 3D-printed surgical guide.

    This approach offers advantages such as increased precision, reduced chair time, and enhanced safety. Same-day dental implants expedite the process by evaluating candidacy, extracting teeth if necessary, and inserting implants with temporary crowns in a single visit, minimizing treatment time.

  • Night grinding, also known as bruxism, is a condition where individuals unconsciously clench or grind their teeth while asleep. This can lead to dental issues like worn enamel, tooth sensitivity, jaw pain, and headaches.

    Treatment options include wearing a custom-made mouthguard to protect teeth from grinding, stress management techniques, and addressing underlying factors such as anxiety or sleep disorders.

    Additionally, we offer physiotherapy treatments to alleviate jaw tension and improve overall oral health.

  • Periodontal surgery, including gum contouring, enhances gum health and smile aesthetics. Gum contouring reshapes the gums, correcting issues like recession and uneven gum lines. By carefully removing excess tissue or building up receded areas, it creates a more balanced and pleasing smile.

  • CEREC same-day crowns are custom-made dental crowns created using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. The process involves taking digital impressions of the damaged tooth, designing a 3D model, and milling a crown from a ceramic block.

    The treatment takes an hour from start to finish.

  • Root canal treatment, or endodontic treatment, resolves infections at the centre of a tooth caused by bacteria invading the root canal.

    Initially, symptoms may include pain with hot or cold foods, loose teeth, and pain while chewing. As the infection progresses, symptoms may subside but can return along with swelling, pus, and tooth discoloration.

    The treatment aims to remove the infection, preserve the natural tooth, and prevent further complications. It involves local anaesthesia, removal of infected pulp, and filling and sealing the root canal. Benefits include pain relief, tooth preservation, and prevention of reinfection.
