Clear Aligners (Invisalign)
Invisalign is one of the treatments to straighten your teeth without the need for braces.

Tooth Crown
Dental Crowns (Tooth Caps) fit over the existing tooth, covering everything you see above the gum. They also make the tooth strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. Dental crowns indicated to restore a chipped, cracked, broken or worn-down tooth and also for cosmetic purposes, like covering malformed or discoloured teeth etc.
All Ceramic (Porcelain Crowns) (Metal Free Crowns) provide the best natural colour-match and translucency. They are most often used for front teeth. All ceramic crowns are available in Lithium Disilicate (E-MAX) or Zirconia (LAVA, BRUXIR).
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the best solution to restore appearance, function and speech, as well as eliminate all the discomforts associated with wearing dentures. The dental implant sits in bone to give you a fixed solution that mimics a natural tooth. An implant-supported restoration looks, feels and functions virtually like a real tooth, improving your quality of life and allowing you to enjoy food better.
Smile Designing
Smile designing is a quick efficient and extremely effective treatment modality to improve your smile. Dentistry today has made extensive advances in material sciences to be able to alter, reorganize and reposition teeth. We can now transform a mouth filled with broken, missing, discoloured or uneven teeth and replace silver fillings with a more natural white finish. Tooth structure can be added, reduced, moved, altered in terms of colour and texture without any deleterious effects and make it look, feel and behave in the same fashion as natural teeth.
Don’t let the way you look have a negative impact on your life or the decisions you make. If you find yourself less than satisfied with your teeth, how they look, or even how they function, taking a deeper look into cosmetic dentistry can potentially change your life for the better. With the advancements in modern cosmetic dental care, you can have a beautiful smile easier than ever before.
