| VENEERS |
This procedure is more conservative yet a highly effective way to
dramatically improve the appearance of your smile and boost your self-confidence.This is one of the quickest and most dramatic way to renovate your smile, but can be used for minor repairs only, compared to a full crown.Veneers can make crooked teeth appear straight, and can make uneven
teeth match up; correct gaps and spaces between teeth, unsightly old fittings, and whiten yellow, discolored or permanently stained teeth.Porcelain Veneers are thin, semi-transparent, natural-looking sheets of porcelain, which are bonded over the surface of the teeth.Composite Veneer is constructed from composite material, which costsless than Porcelain. |

| DENTAL IMPLANTS |
Dental implants are the perfect solution for people who have lost some or all of their teeth. When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants offer a more permanent and convenient solution than traditional dentures or removable bridges.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root replacement and is used in prosthetic dentistry. There are several types of dental implants; the most widely accepted and successful is the osseointegrated implant, based on the discovery by Swedish Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark that titanium can be successfully fused into bone when osteoblasts grow on and into the rough surface of the implanted titanium. |

Teeth Whitening |
 Tooth bleaching, also known as tooth whitening, is a common procedure in general dentistry but most especially in the field of cosmetic dentistry. Many people consider white teeth to be an attractive feature of a smile. A child's deciduous teeth are generally whiter than the adult teeth that follow. As a person ages the adult teeth often become darker. This darkening is due to changes in the mineral structure of the tooth, as the enamel becomes less porous. Teeth can also become stained by bacterial pigments, foodstuffs and tobacco.
As white teeth are subconsciously associated with youth, they have become desirable. This has been made more apparent with the spread of American culture worldwide[1], where an especially white smile is coined a "Hollywood smile". The procedure to bleach teeth uses oxidising agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to lighten the shade of the tooth. The oxidising agent penetrates the porosities in the rod-like crystal structure of enamel and oxidises interprismatic stain deposits; over a period of time, the dentin layer, lying underneath the enamel, is also bleached. Tooth bleaching lasts for a period of some months, with variations from factors such as cigarette smoking, and tea and coffee consumption.
