What is Orthodontics?

Oral surgery refers to any operation done inside your mouth. Examples include tooth extractions, dental implants and tissue grafts. Dental specialists, who have advanced training in oral surgery, do these procedures. Healing times vary depending on the type of surgery you need.

Planning phase

The process begins with taking upper and lower study models, followed by a trial wax-up on these models in the laboratory to develop the proposed aesthetic scheme. You will then have a sitting with the waxed-up models to discuss, modify, and approve your proposed new smile. This serves as a blueprint for the ceramist who will create your veneers. Additionally, a complementary consultation with the ceramicist is arranged to directly assess your shade and aesthetic preferences, as their involvement is essential to achieving a successful treatment outcome.

What is a composite resin dental veneer?

Composite resin veneers are sculpted directly onto the tooth surface using a tooth-coloured resin. They are a conservative alternative to porcelain veneers, typically require minimal enamel reduction, and can often be completed in a single visit. Repairs and colour adjustments are also simpler because the material can be easily added and repolished.


Applying composite veneers: how long will it take?

The application process is usually completed in one to two hours per arch. After cleaning and shade selection, layers of resin are placed, shaped, and light-cured tooth by tooth. A final polish smooths the surface for a natural shine, and minor adjustments can be made immediately to refine your bite and comfort.

What is Orthodontics ?

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting crooked teeth, jaw misalignment, and bite problems. Using treatments like braces, clear aligners, and retainers, orthodontics helps improve both the function of your bite and the appearance of your smile.
