Composite Resins
This is a material that is used to fill cavities today. It is usually used in anterior teeth because of aesthetics, but we also use it in posterior teeth with the correct placing.
Dental Implant
Small screws simulating dental roots are placed in the bone when it is necessary to replace one or more teeth. This procedure consists of two parts: one surgical when the screw is placed in the bone, and the second when the crown is set on the implant. The second procedure is usually done six months after the first one.
Teeth Whitening
This is one of the advantages in dentistry nowadays; you can change the color of your teeth, thanks to carbamin peroxide in different concentrations. That can be used at home with trays or at the clinic with a laser lamp. Both are effective and permanent.
Wisdom gum surgery
Wisdom molars are often misaligned and need to be extracted surgically. Gum surgery is needed when the amount of tartar accumulated is affecting the bone and causing the teeth to loosen.
