General dentistry refers to all the preventive and restorative services you will need from time to time. You may visit our dental clinic upon facing problems like chipped teeth, cracked teeth, pain in your teeth, and others. Our general dental services include checking your mouth and diagnosing the problem. We may also take your dental X-ray and then decide on a suitable treatment option – crows, bridges, dentures, or any other.
Common Cosmetic Dental Procedures
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the most prevalent cosmetic dental procedures worldwide. We perform professional teeth whitening to make your smile appear eight shades lighter. The procedure cleans the accumulation of tartar, plaque, and other substances from your teeth, retaining your natural smile.
Professional teeth whitening includes the application of hydrogen peroxide gel on the surface of your teeth. After applying it, we allow the gel to stay for a few minutes. In some cases, we also treat such applications with laser light to obtain better results. If the stains on your teeth are still visible, we will reapply the gel and repeat the procedure. The final application is rinsed, and your smile becomes whiter. The results are magical.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, wafer-like, custom-made shells that we use to enhance your aesthetic appearance. They are made using materials like composite or porcelain to match your remaining teeth. Veneers cover all the visible flaws on your teeth, including slightly chipped or broken teeth, discolored teeth, gaps between the teeth, etc., and offer you a perfect smile.
We bond them on the front visible surface of your teeth. If taken care of properly, veneers may last for 20 years without staining.
Stained Teeth
If you notice yellow, brown, or gray patches on the surface of your teeth, you are likely to have stained teeth. There are many causes of this problem – dietary habits, smoking or chewing tobacco, certain medications, poor oral hygiene, etc. Your teeth may also get stained because of any underlying disease.
We may perform dental cleaning or professional teeth whitening to remove the stains of plaque, tartar, and residues from the surface of your teeth. We may also offer you home teeth-whitening kits to maintain your pearly white smile. Ensure to follow proper oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and rinsing your mouth with a mouthwash.
