Sensitive Teeth

Wrong or aggressive brushing can wear down the protective tooth enamel causing the teeth to become sensitive. Failure to clean well causes gums to pull back/recede, exposing the roots of the teeth. The roots are more vulnerable to decay since they have never been exposed to fluoride resulting in root caries causing more pain.

Teeth Whitening

Who does not want a bright, white, radiant smile that lightens up the whole face? Dental surveys show that 80% of people would like to have whiter teeth. Today, the answer is Teeth Whitening through a simple and safe procedure called Dental Bleaching. Bleaching lightens and brightens teeth and is tough on stains but gentle on your teeth.

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth (the third molars) are supposed to erupt by 18 years of age. Due to the process of evolution and change in diet from raw uncooked food to soft and cooked food habits the jaws are progressively becoming short in length. So, third molars (the last ones to erupt) may not have enough space in the jaw. They may not erupt and get locked against the neighbouring teeth. These are called impacted teeth.

Implants

Conventional dentures only replace the visible section of the tooth, i.e. the natural crown. Healthy adjacent teeth have to be ground down to hold the denture in place.
