Composite Dental Fillings
Composite dental fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are used to repair a tooth affected by decay, cracks, fractures, or wear.
Made from a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles, they are designed to match the color of natural teeth, offering a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional silver (amalgam) fillings.
The procedure for placing a composite filling involves first removing the decayed or affected portion of the tooth.
The area is then cleaned and prepared for the filling. The composite material is then applied in layers, with each layer being hardened using a specialized light.
After the filling is in place, the dentist will shape and polish it to ensure a smooth and comfortable fit and to match the tooth’s natural contours.
Aesthetically Pleasing: The color and texture of composite fillings can be closely matched to the natural tooth, making them less noticeable than metal fillings.
Supports Tooth Structure: Composite fillings bond to the tooth structure, providing support and preventing breakage.
Versatility: They can be used for a wide range of dental repairs, including both front and back teeth.
Minimal Tooth Removal: Requires less removal of the tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings, allowing for a more conservative repair.
Durability: While not as long-lasting as metal fillings, composites are durable and can withstand moderate pressure from chewing.
Mercury-Free: Unlike amalgam fillings, composite fillings do not contain mercury, making them a preferred choice for patients concerned about mercury exposure.
Root Canal Treatments
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system).
This treatment is necessary when the dental pulp, the soft tissue inside the root canal, becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth.
The procedure involves removing the damaged or infected pulp, and then cleaning, disinfecting, and shaping the root canals.
After cleaning, the canals are filled and sealed with a biocompatible material. A crown or filling is then placed on the tooth to restore its strength and functionality.
The treatment can often be completed in one or two visits, depending on the condition of the tooth and personal circumstances.
Pain Relief: Effectively alleviates pain caused by tooth decay or infection.
Tooth Preservation: Allows for the saving of a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
Prevention of Spread of Infection: By removing the infected pulp, root canal treatment prevents the spread of infection to other parts of the mouth.
Restoration of Tooth Function: After treatment, the tooth can function like any other tooth, allowing for normal biting and chewing.
Aesthetic Solution: A crown or filling placed post-treatment restores the tooth’s natural appearance.
High Success Rate: Root canal treatments have a high success rate and can last a lifetime with proper care and hygiene.
Prevents Jawbone Degradation: Maintaining the natural tooth helps to preserve the jawbone and the natural appearance of the face.
Dental Check-up
Dental check-up is a routine deep-inspection and cleaning procedure designed to maintain optimal oral health. It goes beyond brushing and flossing, aiming to detect early signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, bite problems, and other issues before they escalate. Regular check-ups support both dental and whole-body health
A typical dental check-up comprises several key steps:
Health review & X‑rays
You’ll be asked about your overall health, medications, and any dental concerns. X‑rays may be taken to uncover hidden cavities, bone health, or impacted teeth.Teeth cleaning (If booked as New Patient Exam + Hygiene)
A dentist removes plaque and tartar using ultrasonic scalers then polishes your teeth and provides fluoride or sealants as needed.Dental examination
The dentist inspects teeth, gums, tongue, and mouth tissues. They assess bite alignment, screen for gum disease, TMJ issues, and oral cancer, and review X‑rays for concern areas.Recommendations & planning
You’ll receive feedback on oral hygiene habits, diet, and any necessary treatments—like fillings or orthodontics. Frequency of future visits is tailored to your needs
Early detection of problems – Finding cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer early allows simpler, more affordable treatment
Prevents gum disease & decay – Professional cleanings remove buildup that home care can’t, lowering the risk of serious issues
Boosts systemic health – Oral health influences overall wellbeing, impacting heart disease, diabetes, and stroke risk
Improves aesthetics & confidence – Clean, polished teeth enhance your smile and self-esteem
Cost-effective – Preventive care avoids expensive procedures like root canals or extractions
Periodontal treatment – Root planing and scaling
Periodontal treatment – Root planing and scaling is a deep‑cleaning procedure specifically designed to treat gum disease (periodontitis). It becomes essential when plaque and tartar build up under the gum line, causing inflammation and infection of the gums and supporting bone.
This non‑surgical treatment involves cleaning the area between gums and teeth down to the roots, removing the harmful deposits that traditional cleaning cannot reach.
The treatment consists of two key steps:
Scaling – removes plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces, both above and below the gum line, directly addressing the bacterial buildup.
Root planing – smooths the root surfaces to help gums reattach to the tooth and prevent future deposits.
These steps are typically performed under local anaesthesia and may require multiple visits, sometimes treating different quadrants per session.
Stops gum disease progression
By eliminating tartar and bacteria beneath the gums, it halts further damage to gum and bone tissue.Reduces inflammation & bleeding
Patients experience noticeable reductions in gum swelling and bleeding post-treatment.Prevents tooth loss
Halting infection protects the roots and bone support, reducing the need for extraction.Improves oral and overall health
Better oral hygiene supports general health, with links showing reduced risks for heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues.Freshens breath
Clearing away bacteria-tight food debris helps eliminate chronic bad breath.Facilitates gum reattachment
Smooth roots create an environment where gums can heal and reattach effectively.Eases sensitivity & improves hygiene routine
Reducing rough root surfaces can lessen temperature sensitivity, and a cleaner base helps make daily brushing and flossing more effective.
