General dentistry involves the comprehensive treatment of all types of oral conditions. A general dentist receives several years of dental education and training, after which they will be qualified to perform various treatment procedures. Both the aesthetics of the smile and the functionality of the mouth will be given prominence during the treatment.
Restorative procedures
Implants: Implants are metal studs combined with ceramic crowns. They are used to replace missing teeth, which may have been extracted due to external trauma, infections, gum diseases, or cavities. The titanium implant, along with a durable ceramic prosthetic tooth, offers the perfect replacement for a lost tooth.
Crowns: Dental crowns are cap-like structures that are placed on damaged, worn out, or weak teeth to give them an aesthetic makeover and prevent them from crumbling. The crowns are made from tooth-colored ceramic and can be customized to a great extent, making them look exactly like natural teeth.
Bridges: Bridges are replacement prosthetic teeth that are made from ceramic as well. They do not require surgery but are held in place with the help of crowns on either side. With a bridge, you will be able to bite, chew, and smile like you usually do.
Dentures: Dentures are used to replace a large number of missing teeth. They can be fabricated as either complete dentures or partial dentures, depending on the number of teeth to be replaced. The best part about them is that they are removable.
Veneers: Veneers are wafer-thin restorations used to treat surface imperfections on the teeth. They are used to restore teeth that are cracked, broken, chipped, discolored, or badly worn out.
Fillings, Inlays, and Onlays: Fillings are material made from ceramic, composite, or amalgam. They are used to fill cavities caused due to tooth decay. Inlays are custom restorations that are alternatives to fillings. They are pre-fabricated and placed in the cavity, after which they are permanently bonded. Onlays help restore the worn-out biting surfaces of the teeth.
