| VENEERS |
| One of the most effective ways to transform your smile is with veneers! Veneers can be used for many purposes - whether you want to fix one chipped tooth, correct gaps between teeth, or whiten teeth, veneers may be the answer for you. There are a variety of different veneers to choose from, one being porcelain. Porcelain veneers are very thin, natural looking, semi-transparent sheets of porcelain which are bonded over the surface of the teeth.
Veneers are one of the quickest and most transformational techniques to completely change one's smile!

| DENTAL IMPLANTS |
Dental implants can be a great choice if you have lost one or more teeth. Compared to removable bridges or traditional dentures, dental implants offer a more convenient and permanent solution.
Used in prosthetic dentistry, a dental implant is an artificial tooth root replacement. There are several types of dental implants but the most widely used and successful option is the osseointegrated implant. Discovered by Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark, the implant utilizes titanium which is successfully fused into bone when osteoblasts grow on and into the rough surface of the implanted titanium. |

Teeth Whitening |
 Tooth bleaching, also known as tooth whitening, is a common procedure in general dentistry but most especially in the field of cosmetic dentistry. Many people consider white teeth to be an attractive feature of a smile. A child's deciduous teeth are generally whiter than the adult teeth that follow. As a person ages the adult teeth often become darker. This darkening is due to changes in the mineral structure of the tooth, as the enamel becomes less porous. Teeth can also become stained by bacterial pigments, foodstuffs and tobacco.
As white teeth are subconsciously associated with youth, they have become desirable. This has been made more apparent with the spread of American culture worldwide[1], where an especially white smile is coined a "Hollywood smile". The procedure to bleach teeth uses oxidising agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to lighten the shade of the tooth. The oxidising agent penetrates the porosities in the rod-like crystal structure of enamel and oxidises interprismatic stain deposits; over a period of time, the dentin layer, lying underneath the enamel, is also bleached. Tooth bleaching lasts for a period of some months, with variations from factors such as cigarette smoking, and tea and coffee consumption.
