A bridge is made of one false tooth and two crowns. The bridge holds the false tooth in place while the two crowns are placed on each side of the gap.
The false teeth are called Pontiacs, and are made from alloys, gold, porcelain, and/or a combination of materials.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Dental Bridges
- This is used to bridge the gap created by the loss of two or more teeth. Two or more crowns of teeth act as the anchor of a single tooth to fill the gap. The false teeth of the dental bridges are made of porcelain, alloys, or gold. These are the right reinforcements to improve your jaw line, smile and speech.
Dental Veneers
- These are wafer-thin porcelain shells placed as the outer covering of discolored or disfigured teeth. These shells bind with the teeth perfectly improving its overall appearance. You might need 2-3 clinic visits to get your dental veneers fixed. Veneers can last for 10 years and so is a good investment to preserve your smile.
Dentures
Tooth bonding
Dental Fillings
Filling materials can be porcelain, gold, silver amalgam, tooth-colored plastic and glass materials, or composite resin fillings. The dentist will clean the dental cavity and select the best material suitable for your teeth. You can make your own choice based on the price of the fillings. Such fillings are known as direct fillings.
An indirect filling is done when the tooth structure is not enough to support a filling and neither has it required a crown. Indirect fillings are of two types – Inlays and on lays. Inlays are done within the bumps of the chewing surface and on lays are more extensive covering one or more than one cusps. On lays are often termed partial crowns. Traditional or direct fillings can last for 10-15 days and indirect fillings can last for more than 30 years.
Prepless Veneers
Crooked Tooth Correction
Crooked tooth correction or tooth straightening is a common treatment in cosmetic dentistry. Misaligned or crooked teeth can impact your personality and make you suffer from low self-esteem. Crooked teeth can cause periodontal disease, create difficulty in chewing and digestion, and can wear off fast. Braces are considered the first option, and you can choose from ceramic, metallic, invisible, and lingual braces.
Your dentist can also recommend tooth straightening surgery to reposition your teeth and gums if you face difficulty in chewing. A more invasive procedure known as orthognathic surgery is also done if a person faces difficulty in speech and chewing.
Total Smile Makeover
Maxillofacial Surgery
Maxillofacial surgery is a type of surgical dentistry where the defects of jaw, mouth, and face caused by any disease or injury are rectified through surgery. Maxillofacial surgeons are highly expert professionals who can do the correct diagnosis of the defect and create the right surgery plan.
The surgery is aimed to improve jaw function and relieve pain. It can also address a range of problems like chronic dental pain, preparing the mouth for dental implants, and oral diseases. This surgery also involves bone grafting, jaw reconstruction, treating temporomandibular joint, and other interventions caused by trauma or injury.
The nature of surgery and recovery varies with the problems and procedures. Some procedures can be done in an outpatient setup and you can go home the same day. Complex maxillofacial surgeries may need one or more than one day hospital stay.
Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry involves the use of lasers to treat several dental issues and is potentially a more comfortable treatment option than other invasive procedures like drilling and extraction. It was accepted as a commercial clinical dental practice in 1989.
This can be used to treat tooth decay, gum disease, teeth sensitivity, and also in whitening teeth. The biggest advantage of laser dentistry lies in its cost-effectiveness and efficiency. It involves two procedures – Hard Tissue which refers to issues related to teeth and Soft Tissue which refers to issues related to gums. Common hard tissue procedures are cavity detection, dental fillings, and treating tooth sensitivity.
Common soft tissue procedures are rectifying extended gums, treating abnormal tongue frenulum, removing tissues from dentures, and lengthening the crown.
