Whitening

Teeth whitening, also called tooth bleaching is one of the most common dental procedures. Whitening is easy, fast and a safe procedure which suits almost everyone. There are many dental whitening procedures available, however, dentist-supervised treatments are the most reliable ones. In laser whitening procedures, gums are covered with rubber and bleaching chemical is applied on the teeth. A beam of an argon laser is then projected upon teeth which accelerates the process of bleaching. After the projection of laser, bleaching chemical gets activated which lightens the teeth color.

Reshaping

In order to improve the appearance of teeth, tooth reshaping removes parts of enamel. It can be used to correct a small chip, alter the length, shape or position of teeth or any kind of tooth discrepancy. This procedure is also known as contouring, odontoplasty, enameloplasty, slenderizing or stripping. This procedure can be used as a substitute for braces under certain circumstances.

Bonding

Dental bridges

In order to restore your smile, dental bridges are used to bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for teeth on either side of the gap, these anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth, and a false tooth/tooth in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. These dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.
