Ceramic veneers are thin, custom-made shells which fit exactly on the faces of anterior teeth. They are designed to cover the front side of teeth and are made by a dental technician based on a model provided by your dentist.

Scaling is the removal of hardened particles from below the gumline by a hand device or by an ultrasonic cleaner. The objective is to remove irritants under a patient's gums, which cause inflammation and infection.

In advanced periodontal disease, when scaling and root planing have been unsuccessful, or when there has been bone loss that needs to be surgically corrected, it is important to be able to reach far under the gum. Flap surgery enables access to these areas.

Day 1 - Consultation, OPG & blood test
Day 2 - Flap surgery & bone graft if necessary (This may be done in 2 or 3 sittings depending on the patient's ability to sit long on dental chair)
Day 9 - Suture removal, review

A wisdom tooth that lies underneath the gums and is embedded in the jawbone, requires surgery for the removal of the portion of bone that lies over the tooth. The procedure is done under local anaesthesia and the tooth is often extracted in small pieces rather than as a whole piece. This reduces the amount of bone mass that is lost while extracting the tooth.
