Dental Implants: Long-lasting, function like natural teeth.
Bridges: Fixed replacement supported by adjacent teeth.
Dentures: Removable option for multiple missing teeth. A consultation will determine the most suitable choice for you.

Yes, modern dental X-rays use minimal radiation exposure, making them safe. Digital X-rays further reduce exposure while providing essential diagnostic information.

Mild discomfort is common, especially after adjustments or when switching aligner trays. This usually subsides within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief if needed.

A biomimetic filling is a tooth-colored, adhesive restoration that mimics the natural structure and function of a tooth. Unlike traditional fillings, it bonds strongly to the tooth, reducing the risk of fractures and improving long-term durability.

A rubber dam is a thin sheet of latex or non-latex material used to isolate the tooth during dental procedures.
Benefits:
* The treatment area dry and free from saliva.
* Prevents contamination and improves bonding success.
* Protects the patient from swallowing or inhaling small instruments or debris.
* Increases the efficiency of the procedure.

Dental anxiety can be managed through open communication, relaxation techniques, and gradual exposure to treatment. Bringing headphones, practicing deep breathing, or scheduling a consultation beforehand can also help ease concerns.
