What are our main Cosmetic dental treatments?

At our clinic, to restore a beautiful smile and keep your teeth healthy, we offer the following cosmetic dental treatments: 

Teeth Cleaning

Teeth cleaning is a dental procedure in which your teeth are cleaned professionally. It involves the following stages:

• A physical examination is performed by your dentist, using a small mirror inside your mouth to check the health of your teeth and gums.

• Your dentist uses a scaler to start removing the tartar around your teeth and gum.

• Once the tartar is removed from your teeth, the dentist counts on an electric brush that can deeply clean your teeth using gritty toothpaste. Furthermore, he conducts a professional flossing session to get rid of any plaque left.

• Finally, fluoride is applied to your teeth with a small brush, which protects you from tooth decay.

Teeth Whitening

A cosmetic dental procedure is conducted to bleach your teeth using laser special light or heat. The procedure goes through the following steps:

• Firstly, the dentist applies a whitening product to your teeth directly.

• Then, the teeth are exposed to a laser or light to activate the bleaching product.

• The dental procedure takes almost an hour.

• The results can be seen from the first session, however, if you look forward to more dramatic results, then you need several sessions.

Dental Fillings

Fillings are dental materials used by the dentist to treat decay and repair broken and cracked teeth. The dental treatment involves:

• First, the patient will be administered local anesthesia, by numbing the area around the teeth.

• Then, the dentist will use a drill or laser to get rid of the decay.

• Once the decayed area is removed, the dentist will clean the cavity, preparing it for filling.

• Finally, the dentist will put the filling in and check your bite correctly. 

Dental Crowns

A crown is a dental cap that is used to cover a broken, cracked, or completely decayed tooth.

The crown is usually made of metal or porcelain specifically designed to match your tooth shape. It is done through the following steps:

• The dentist prepares the tooth to make an impression.

• The impression will be made and sent to the lab where the crown will be created. The crown may take some days to be ready.

• Finally, the dentist will drill and prepare the tooth to fit the crown.
