Cosmetic Dental Services

 

Cosmetic dentistry remains an area of passion and expertise at the Tabasamu Dental Clinic. Available services include:

 

Tooth-Coloured Fillings

Modern tooth-coloured fillings have replaced the traditional amalgam (silver) filling. These newer materials are more conservative, preserving the healthy residual tooth structure. Since they adhere to the tooth structure, they provide extra strength compared to traditional filings resulting in less fractures and reduced sensitivity.

In addition, the tooth-coloured fillings look natural; it is difficult to distinguish the filling from your tooth.

 

Bridges

Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge is a custom device anchored to neighbouring teeth. When a lost tooth is replaced with bridgework, the teeth on either side of the missing one are prepared as crowns. They then serve as supports to hold the prosthetic (replacement) tooth in place. Our crowns and bridges are prepared from high quality materials such as semi-precious or precious metals, porcelain or a fused combination of the two. Aesthetics, function and tissue compatibility are considered when selecting the material suitable for you.

 

Porcelain Veneers

Just like Bonding, porcelain veneers are used to repair fractured or chipped teeth, straighten crooked or misaligned teeth, close gaps, increase the length and size of teeth or lighten dark or discoloured teeth. However, porcelain is used in place of composite material. A thin layer of the tooth is first removed. Thereafter, we custom make a thin, nail-like porcelain restoration that is cemented onto the tooth. Porcelain veneers are incredibly strong and provide superior aesthetics.

 

Bonding

This is the repair of chipped, discoloured or misaligned teeth.  It involves placing tooth-coloured composite material onto the tooth. It is an inexpensive and ultra conservative way to restore a tooth.

 

Tooth Whitening/Bleaching

Several factors can contribute to darkening of teeth. These include the effect of age, fluorosis, certain foods and drinks (especially curries, soda and coffee), smoking and medication. Bleaching involves placing a bleaching gel in contact with teeth causing oxidation of stains and subsequent whitening of the teeth.

 

Implants

Implants are used to replace missing teeth. Through a surgical procedure, a titanium cylinder is secured in the jaw bone. This cylinder functions as the root of your missing tooth. A crown is then attached onto it giving the appearance of a natural tooth. This replacement is strong with a natural appearance.

 

Emphasis on Sterilization

The second highest deterrent to visiting the dentist is the fear of cross-infection from dental instruments. At Tabasamu Dental, the safety of our clients comes first. Our instruments undergo double sterilization so as to guarantee all micro-organisms are eliminated. They are first chemically sterilized. They are then packed and sealed to avoid recontamination. Finally, we take them through an autoclave sterilization cycle. The individual sealed packs ensure that the sterility is maintained during storage.  You can be rest assured that your safety and that of your loved ones is guaranteed.
