Critical Dental Care

Our oral cancer screening program includes a thorough visual and tactile examination to check for signs of mouth cancer. Early detection makes treatment more effective. We also educate patients on reducing cancer risks. For those undergoing cancer treatment, we provide supportive dental and oral health care.

Geriatric Dentistry

Maintaining dental health is critical as we age. Our dentists cater to seniors’ specialized needs, including dry mouth remedies and denture fittings to help digestive issues. We help the elderly preserve their dental function and aesthetics using minimally invasive solutions where possible. Our priority is your oral health, comfort and confidence.

General Dentistry

Our experienced general dentists provide comprehensive dental care for the entire family,including cleanings, fillings, crowns, bridges, and more. We use the latest techniques and technology to help you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.

Endodontics

Our endodontists specialise in root canal treatments and can save teeth that may otherwise require extraction. Using advanced tools and techniques, they examine, diagnose, and treat issues affecting the tooth pulp.

Implantology

Dental implants can beautifully and permanently replace missing teeth. Our implant specialists surgically place titanium posts in the jawbone that fuse with your bone tissue, allowing lifelike artificial teeth to be attached. With proper care, implants can last many years.

Oral & Maxillofacial Trauma Care

Our oral surgeons provide urgent care for facial and mouth injuries, including those affecting the teeth, jaws, gums and other oral structures. We offer immediate solutions for serious dental trauma caused by accidents, sports injuries or violent episodes.

Orthodontics

Our orthodontists diagnose and treat maligned teeth and jaws, using braces and other appliances to gently guide teeth into proper alignment. We offer modern metal braces as well as Invisalign for more discreet straightening. Our goal is to create a healthy bite and beautiful smile.

Prosthodontics

We offer customized prosthetic appliances to replace missing teeth and restore your smile.Our prosthodontists are highly skilled in full and partial denture fabrication, using advanced technologies to create comfortable, natural-looking solutions. We also provide dental implants and bridges.

Expecting mothers have special dental needs. Our dentists provide pregnancy-safe cleanings,x-rays, fillings and other treatments to keep you and your baby healthy. We also offer guidance on morning sickness remedies, nutritional counselling and oral hygiene during pregnancy and postpartum.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation & Oral Reconstructive Surgeries

Patients with extensive tooth decay, gum disease or bite issues may require full mouth reconstruction. We provide various treatments to restore form and function, including crowns, veneers, bridges and dentures. We take a comprehensive approach to complete oral rehabilitation.

Technological Updates

OPG

This panoramic X-ray machine captures the entire mouth in a single scan. It provides a comprehensive evaluation of dental health with low radiation exposure compared to full mouth series X-rays. OPG allows early detection of oral diseases and abnormalities for prompt treatment.

Cephalograms

Cephalograms produce 3D radiographs/images of the teeth and jaws from multiple angles.This advanced digital imaging aids complex treatments like orthodontics, implants, and oral surgery that require detailed visualisation of the bone structure. Cephalograms enhance diagnosis, treatment planning and surgical precision.

Dental Laser

We use modern dental lasers to conservatively treat tooth decay, periodontal disease, and other oral conditions without drilling or sutures. Laser energy selectively removes diseased tissue and promotes healing. Lasers reduce pain and discomfort during procedures.

State – of -the- Art Dental Chairs

Our state-of-the-art treatment chairs provide greater comfort through contouring, lumbar support; integrated neck rests and arm/elbow padding. Positioning flexibility improves ergonomics and accessibility for our dentists during procedures.

Digital Impression Scanner

Digital impression Scanners quickly capture precise 3D scans of the mouth for accurate modelling. This enhances implant fittings, orthodontics, dentures and other treatments.Digital impressions are more comfortable than traditional material impressions.

Infrastructure

Our state-of-the-art dental department features pioneering technologies and facilities unmatched in the region. We are proud to be the first in the country to implement Electronic Medical Records (EMR), enabling digital record-keeping for enhanced efficiency.

Our dental department pairs clinical excellence with technological innovation. Cutting-edge tools like lasers, digital scanners, and imaging enable minimally invasive procedures with greater precision for precise diagnostics and streamlined workflows. Augmented with our specialised dental chair suites, we provide unparalleled patient comfort.
