What is a Bridge?

Dental Veneers

| Dental veneers are thin shells, usually made of porcelain or composite resin, that are custom-made to cover the front surface of a tooth. These shells are bonded to the tooth, providing a cosmetic solution to improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, stained, chipped, or misaligned. Veneers are commonly used to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the smile. |

It includes preventive measures like regular check-ups, cleanings, and fluoride treatments, as well as educating parents and children about proper oral hygiene habits and a balanced diet. Dental child care also addresses orthodontic concerns, provides emergency care, and emphasizes positive experiences during dental visits. The goal is to instill good oral health habits early, ensuring a lifetime of healthy smiles for children. |

Dental Implants
|
| A dental implant is a prosthetic replacement for a missing tooth or teeth. It consists of a titanium post surgically implanted into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for an artificial tooth (crown) or a bridge. Dental implants offer a durable and natural-looking solution for tooth loss, promoting improved function and aesthetics. The process involves a surgical procedure to place the implant, followed by the attachment of a custom-made crown or bridge. Dental implants are widely used to restore oral function and enhance the appearance of a patient's smile. |
