Time for a check-up? Do you need scaling and polishing, or perhaps have a few cavities to fill?
Scale and Polish
Professional cleaning includes scaling and polishing. Scaling is a common non-surgical treatment for removal of infected deposits - tartar or calculus - from the tooth surface. These deposits if not removed lead to periodontal disease.
White Fillings
White fillings, also called composite fillings, are made from tooth-coloured materials that restore the natural appearance of a decayed or previously filled tooth. When appearance is important to you, you may want tooth coloured fillings for your cavities or for repairing stained, chipped or irregular teeth. Because they match the colour of your natural teeth, tooth coloured fillings are inconspicuous, and thus the fillings of choice for people who value a beautiful smile.
Inlays
Inlays are similar to fillings. However, like crowns, they are made in a laboratory and then glued to the tooth with special adhesive. This process requires a minimum of two visits to the dentist.
