Our dental clinic does the full range of general dentistry. The main streams under general practice include:

  • Oral Examination
  • Scaling and Polishing
  • Fillings
The diagnosis is the most important part in modern dentistry in order to ensure the best and a suitable treatment plan.
Our modern equipments and techniques support us in the role of diagnosising dental diseases as well as providing the best possible quality dental care.
The panoramic x-rays are used to assist systemic diagnoses and treatment plans. The tomogram (x-sectional film) is used to measure the bone quantity before planting dental implants, while the pulp vitality tester is utilized for testing the vitality of the teeth.
The Root Apex locator aids our endodontist in defining the length of the teeth during root canal treatments.

Scaling and polishing

Tooth scaling

Scaling may be defined as a process to remove calculus (tartar), soft deposits (plaque) and stains from the teeth. Calculus removal is part of each specialized tooth cleaning.

Tooth Polishing

Tooth polishing removes plaque or stains remaining on the teeth after careful scaling. The reason of polishing tooth surfaces is to make these surfaces smooth which make it more difficult for plaque and debris to accumulate on your teeth to cause decay or gum disease. Dental polishing is only done after completing the clinical exam if there is no presence of gum disease.
Tooth polishing is not a procedure that cleans infected, diseased gum tissue and root surfaces. This is only an exterior cleaning and will not eliminate disease or get it under control. However it is a protective procedure and is a first-line defense against terrible dental problems.

Fillings:

Dental Fillings

Traditional Amalgam Fillings

Most of us have had amalgam fillings (silver) or gold filling restorations. Some amalgam fillings were what we have called mercury fillings, as some amalgam fillings contained mercury. Metal fillings were efficient, but very noticeable and tended to blacken in color over time. Their safety has been in question for a number of years due to concerns over the absorption of elemental mercury contributing to several diseases, including Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, dementia and arthritis.

Composite Resin Tooth-Colored Fillings

Composite resin dental fillings were created as a substitute to traditional metal dental fillings. Tooth fillings colored to look like a natural tooth are known as Composite Resin Dental Fillings, are made of a plastic dental resin. There are no known health risks of receiving composite fillings. Composite Resin Dental Fillings are strong, long-lasting, and make for a very natural looking smile. Composite resins is used as a tooth bonding procedure, the resin will strengthen and improve the natural tooth structure as it does with use as a dental filling.

Mercury Filling Replacement with Composite Resin Fillings

Mercury fillings or amalgam fillings can easily be removed and replaced with far more attractive colored fillings.
