Restorative Dentistry

To illustrate, glass or resin ionomers are often used as substitutes placed near the tooth root or other areas which does not involve heavy pressure caused by chewing. Otherwise, we will use the amalgam which is a combination of metals. It has been the most popular and effective filling material used in dentistry for the last 150 years and millions of people worldwide have amalgam fillings.

Indirect Restoration
We advise an indirect tooth restoration when a larger volume or extensive area of the tooth needs to be replaced. It mainly involves customised tooth replacements such as crowns, onlays, or inlays.We suggest a crown to cover the entire chewing surface of a tooth. We will require more than one visit with us since an indirect tooth restoration because the inlay or onlay must be fabricated in a dental laboratory. An inlay is placed within the cusps of the tooth. Meanwhile, an onlay covers one or more cusp tip. Both includes portion of the chewing surface.Crowns, inlays and onlays are made from an array of materials. Basically, gold is still used for some inlays. Others prefer or are more concerned having white teeth. As such, we offer porcelain and tooth-coloured composite resins as options.

Prosthodontics

Removable Partials Dentures
If you need removable partial dentures, it will have a metal framework and clasps that will connect to your teeth and attached to a pink or gum-coloured plastic bases. It may feel awkward and bulky at first and this is normal.

Flexible Partial Dentures
Flexible partials is a solution we provide to replace one or more teeth. Using this type of dentures, it does not require any uncomfortable metal clasps to keep them in place. It is made of nylon which makes them flexible and found to be resistant and durable. It is also realistic-looking and offers an instant aesthetic solution.

Complete Dentures
Commonly known as false teeth; we provide complete dentures to replace the function and look of the teeth after the original teeth are removed and gum tissues are healed. This could take several months as we will prepare you physically and psychologically in using the complete dentures. We believe that the transition is important as it can be traumatic to some.
