Our Restorative Dentistry Services
We offer a comprehensive range of restorative treatments, from simple fillings to advanced tooth replacement solutions:
1. Direct Restorations (Placed Directly in the Mouth)
- Composite (Tooth-Colored) Fillings:
- Description: Made from a durable resin material, these fillings are meticulously matched to your natural tooth shade, offering an aesthetically pleasing solution for cavities.
- Benefits: Virtually invisible, bonds directly to the tooth structure, conservative approach (less tooth removal needed), versatile for minor chips and cracks.
- Ideal For: Small to medium-sized cavities in visible areas.
- Amalgam (Silver) Fillings:

- Benefits: Highly durable, long-lasting, excellent for heavy chewing forces in posterior teeth, generally more affordable.

2. Indirect Restorations (Custom-Made in a Lab)
- Inlays & Onlays:
- Description: Partial crowns used when a cavity or damage is too extensive for a filling but not severe enough for a full crown. Inlays fit within the cusps (bumps) of the tooth, while onlays cover one or more cusps.
- Benefits: Preserve more natural tooth structure than full crowns, provide superior strength and durability compared to fillings, custom-made for a precise fit.

- Benefits: Restore chewing and speaking ability, maintain facial shape, prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position, durable and long-lasting.
- Dental Implants:
- Description: The most advanced and durable solution for replacing missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root, onto which a crown, bridge, or denture is attached.
- Benefits: Mimics natural teeth, preserves jawbone, does not rely on adjacent teeth for support, highly aesthetic, long-term solution.
- Root Canal Therapy:
