Dental Implants

Implants are the modern way to replace missing teeth. An implant is a tiny titanium screw which is drilled in the bone where the tooth’s root would normally be. Osteointegrationis a process with which the implant stabilizes and becomes part of our jaw bone. When the implant is fully integrated to the bone, an abutment and a post is attached to it. A crown can be placed over the post to replace the missing tooth. A denture can also be stabilized with implant.2 to 4 Implants can be used to support dentures which is of great benefit to denture wearers.

Cosmetic Fillings/ Invisible Fillings

Traditionally fillings were done in metal amalgam, popularly known as “Silver Fillings”. Most of us still have a couple of silver fillings in our mouth. In recent times tooth colored fillings have become extremely popular. These fillings are natural looking, almost undetectable once the treatment is over. One can see them only on radiographs.(x rays) and can go undetected by naked eye.

G Shankar Eye and smile care offers replacement of the amalgam/silver fillings with composite and glass ionomers. The treatment can be completed in a single sitting lasting less than an hour. The composite and glass ionomers fillings are done by gently mixing different shades of composite and tints for exact color matching.This is followed by meticulous finishing and polishing exactly like an artist finishing an art restoration.
