What does a smile mean?
A healthy, radiant smile can transform your appearance more than any creams, makeup, clothing, or hair products ever could. It can make you look younger and elevate your self-confidence to new heights. Cosmetic dentistry is like a dental facelift, reversing the natural aging process of your teeth to give you a fresh, youthful look.Experience the transformative power of modern cosmetic dentistry today!

Botox®

Botox® is a safe and effective procedure using Botulinum Toxin to reduce or eliminate wrinkles, offering a non-surgical solution for facial rejuvenation. Common treatment areas include forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows, and “crow’s feet” around the eyes. Botox® works by relaxing facial muscles beneath the skin, smoothing wrinkles and improving appearance. A small amount of Botox® is injected into targeted areas, blocking nerve impulses to the muscles, with results lasting three to six months. Recovery is typically quick, with patients resuming normal activities immediately, though it’s advised to avoid heavy exercise, cosmetics, or lying flat for at least four hours post-procedure.

Invisalign

Invisalign offers a discreet way to straighten teeth using clear, comfortable, and removable aligners, eliminating the need for brackets or metal wires. The aligners gradually shift your teeth into place, improving your smile and making oral hygiene easier while reducing the risk of gum disease. Dr. Ravi will create a personalized treatment plan based on your dental goals. Aligners are worn 20-22 hours daily, removed only for eating, drinking, or brushing. Each set is replaced every two weeks, and progress is monitored every six to seven weeks. Treatment duration varies by individual.

Implants

Implants are medical devices surgically inserted into the body to replace, support, or enhance bodily functions. Common types include dental implants (titanium posts for missing teeth), breast implants (silicone or saline for augmentation), cochlear implants (hearing restoration), and orthopedic implants (joint replacements or rods for bone stabilization). Vascular implants, like stents, keep blood vessels open, while neurostimulators treat pain or neurological conditions. Contraceptive implants release hormones to prevent pregnancy, and aesthetic implants reshape body parts. Made from biocompatible materials like titanium and silicone, implants improve quality of life but carry risks such as infection, rejection, or the need for replacement.

Tooth Jewellery

Cosmetic Dentistry Meets Medical Expertise

Modern dentistry offers aesthetic options like tooth jewelry with products such as Vivadent’s Skyce®, ensuring stunning results while maintaining dental health.

Healthy Teeth, Radiant Smiles

Skyce® enables safe, effective application of tooth jewelry without pre-treatment, bonding it securely like orthodontic brackets.

Easy Application, Lasting Results

Skyce® is applied by etching enamel with phosphoric acid and bonding with Heliobond adhesive, creating a durable, long-lasting bond.

Tooth Whitening

Patients can whiten their teeth through home or office bleaching.

Home Bleaching
This involves wearing custom-made mouthpieces with hydrogen peroxide gel for 2–4 hours daily over 4–8 days.

Office Bleaching
Faster and more convenient, office bleaching takes 30–45 minutes per session, with noticeable results after the first visit. Patients can relax with music or TV during the procedure, which is safe, effective, and widely used for its excellent results.

Only natural teeth respond to bleaching, so existing fillings or porcelain may appear yellow by contrast after whitening.

Preventive

During a dental examination, the dentist thoroughly evaluates your oral health by checking for cavities, gum disease, and signs of other potential issues, such as oral infections, tooth decay, or enamel erosion. They may also assess your bite alignment, screen for oral cancer, and examine the health of existing dental work like fillings or crowns.

X-rays may be taken to detect hidden problems, such as bone loss, impacted teeth, or decay beneath the surface. Additionally, the dentist will evaluate your risk for future oral health concerns and provide personalized advice on improving your hygiene routine, diet, or habits to maintain a healthy smile.

Digital Xray

Digital X-rays are a modern dental imaging technique that reduce radiation exposure by up to 85% compared to traditional X-rays. They are quick, comfortable, and provide high-resolution images instantly, allowing for real-time analysis and faster diagnosis. These images can be easily enhanced or adjusted for better clarity. Digital X-rays are environmentally friendly, eliminate the need for film development, and allow for easy electronic storage and sharing, improving overall efficiency and care.

Cleaning

Teeth cleaning is an essential part of oral hygiene aimed at removing dental plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of your teeth. This process helps prevent common oral health issues such as cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. Professional teeth cleaning is typically done by a dental hygienist or dentist, who uses specialized tools to thoroughly clean areas that are difficult to reach with regular brushing and flossing.

Regular cleanings help to maintain healthy gums, reduce the risk of tooth decay, and improve overall oral health. In addition to plaque removal, teeth cleaning also includes polishing, which helps smooth the surfaces of the teeth, making it harder for plaque to accumulate. It’s generally recommended to have a professional cleaning every six to twelve months, depending on individual oral health needs.

Restorative / Prosthodontic

White composite fillings are a tooth-colored blend of plastic and glass used to restore teeth affected by decay. These fillings not only restore function but can also improve the appearance of the smile by changing the color of teeth or reshaping disfigured ones. Composite fillings offer a more aesthetic alternative to traditional amalgam (silver) fillings, which are less visually appealing and contain mercury. White fillings blend seamlessly with natural teeth, providing a more discreet and cosmetically pleasing solution for dental restorations.

Crown

A dental crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its size, shape, and function. It is used for teeth with large cavities, severe damage, after root canal treatment, or to cover a dental implant. Crowns are made from materials like porcelain or metal and are designed for durability and aesthetics. The process typically involves two visits: one for preparation and impressions, and the second for fitting and cementing the crown. Crowns can last many years with proper care, providing both protection and natural-looking results.

Bridge

A dental bridge is a prosthetic device consisting of multiple crowns fused together to replace one or more missing teeth. The anchor teeth, located on either side of the gap, are carefully prepared by the dentist to support the bridge. These anchor teeth are reshaped to accommodate the bridge, which is then securely cemented in place. A bridge not only restores the appearance of the smile but also improves chewing function and helps prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of place. Bridges can be made from materials like porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, depending on the location and aesthetic needs.

Full Complete Dentures / Flexible Partial Dentures.

Dentures are artificial replacements for missing natural teeth and gums. While they may cause some soreness initially, they typically take time to adjust to.

Complete dentures (often called “false teeth”) are used when all natural teeth are missing. These removable dentures are held in place by suction.

Flexible partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth. Unlike traditional acrylic dentures, which can be bulky and unstable, flexible partials are made from a thin, flexible plastic material that fits comfortably and discreetly in the mouth. They don’t require unsightly metal clasps, making them more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable.

Metal Braces / Tooth Color Braces.

 

A space maintainer is a custom-made appliance, usually crafted from acrylic or metal, that can be removable or cemented into a child’s mouth. Its purpose is to keep the space open after a premature loss of a baby tooth, allowing the permanent tooth to erupt properly. Space maintainers prevent adjacent teeth from shifting into the gap, which could cause misalignment. They are essential for maintaining proper tooth alignment until the permanent teeth are ready to come in. Regular dental check-ups ensure the space maintainer works effectively as the child’s teeth develop.

Endodontic

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure used to treat a tooth that is severely decayed or infected. During the treatment, the dentist removes the infected or damaged nerve and pulp inside the tooth. The space is then cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection. This procedure is necessary to save the tooth from extraction and prevent the infection from spreading to surrounding tissues. If left untreated, an abscess may form, causing pain and potential damage to the jawbone. After the root canal, the tooth is typically restored with a crown to protect it and restore full function. Root canal therapy is highly effective in preserving the natural tooth, allowing it to remain functional for many years.

Retainers

Orthodontic retainers are custom-made devices, often made from wire or clear plastic, designed to maintain teeth alignment after orthodontic treatment and prevent relapse. Relapse can occur due to factors such as the natural tension from periodontal fibers, occlusion (bite), pressure from soft tissues like the tongue and lips, and ongoing jaw growth.

There are two main types of retainers: removable retainers, which can be taken out for eating, cleaning, or special occasions, and fixed retainers, which are bonded to the back of the teeth for permanent retention. Removable retainers are typically worn full-time immediately after braces are removed and then transitioned to part-time wear. Fixed retainers offer a more permanent solution and are often recommended for long-term stability.

Oral Surgical

A dental extraction, or tooth removal, is performed when a tooth is too damaged to be repaired, often due to decay, periodontal disease, trauma, or to make space for orthodontics. Simple extractions are done when the tooth is visible and can be easily removed with forceps, while surgical extractions are needed for impacted teeth or those not fully erupted. Surgical extractions involve making an incision and may require sedation or general anesthesia. After the procedure, proper aftercare is essential to prevent complications like infection or dry socket.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth, the third set of molars, usually emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. While most people have four wisdom teeth—one on each side of the upper and lower jaws—some may have fewer or none at all. These teeth can sometimes become impacted, meaning they are unable to fully emerge through the gums due to lack of space or improper alignment. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to pain, swelling, and infections such as pericoronitis, where the gum tissue around the tooth becomes inflamed. In these cases, extraction is often necessary to prevent further complications, alleviate discomfort, and maintain oral health. Some individuals may also require removal if the wisdom teeth are misaligned and threaten to damage neighboring teeth or affect overall bite function.

Fillers

Injectable fillers, or soft tissue fillers, restore volume and smooth wrinkles to create a youthful appearance. They can be used to enhance areas like the cheeks, chin, jawline, and lips, as well as reduce nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Made from substances like hyaluronic acid, these fillers last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type and treatment area. The procedure is minimally invasive, with immediate results and little to no downtime, offering a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation.

Veneers

A veneer is a thin layer applied to the front of a tooth to improve its appearance or protect it from damage. Made from porcelain or composite resin, veneers are used to correct issues like staining, chips, or misalignment. A laminate veneer is a very thin type of veneer, typically used for aesthetic purposes, such as creating a “Hollywood smile.” The procedure involves removing a small amount of enamel before bonding the veneer, offering a natural and durable solution for a more polished and uniform smile.

Root Canals

A root canal is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth with an infected or damaged pulp, the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, or injury, it can lead to severe pain, sensitivity, and swelling. During the procedure, the dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and fills the canals with a rubber-like material to seal them. Finally, the tooth is restored with a filling or crown to ensure its strength and functionality. This treatment not only alleviates pain but also prevents further complications, such as abscesses or tooth loss, preserving your natural smile.
