Invisalign
"A modern take on the traditional orthodontic braces where sets of clear aligner trays are custom made for your mouth using computer software and reverse engineered to bring about alignment of your teeth. They are less conspicuous and easily the most convenient of all orthodontic treatments. Our in-house iTero 5D plus scanner allows us to simulate your treatment & smile within a matter of minutes."
Restorative Dentistry
"Saving the tooth structure is paramount in our practice. Constant monitoring to identify cavities at the earliest and stopping their progression is mandatory. Our restorations are life-like with flexural strength equivalent to the teeth thus providing longevity. According to the amount of destruction, your teeth are restored with resin composites, inlays, onlays or overlays."
Root Canal Therapy
"Once the cavity progresses beyond the hard tissue of your tooth, your root canals are infected resulting in pain and discomfort. We treat your root canals to stop this spread of infection and clean, shape and fill them to save the root & its corresponding tooth which is a valuable tool for balanced occlusion. Treatment is totally pain-free and will relieve your discomfort permanently."
Porcelain Crowns & Bridges
"Substantial loss in tooth structure is restored by use of crowns. Whereas bridges are meant to replace missing teeth where you utilise the support of the adjacent teeth. Metal free crowns avoid marginal discolouration near the gums and require very less reduction of the tooth structure while designing the tooth. We provide our patients with the best of porcelain like IPS e.max & Zirconia crowns and bridges."
Veneers / Laminates
"Esthetic dentistry has grown leaps & bounds with glass ceramics. Veneers are best suited for defective tooth structure, discolored enamel, esthetic smile makeovers & to improve the quality of your smile. Veneers are thin and need very little reduction (<1mm) of your tooth. The glass ceramic veneers are highly esthetic and chemically bond to your tooth thus producing beautiful smiles."
Fixed Orthodontic Treatment
"Crooked / malaligned teeth are best corrected early & during a child's development, to avoid skeletal & functional problems in the future. We use the Damon system to develop your dentition with light forces thus avoiding the need for intrusive appliances as much as possible. Damon clear braces are far less conspicuous and are aesthetically pleasing to camouflage with your teeth."
Laser Dentistry
"Painless dentistry has entered a new era with Lasers. We use them in a multitude of scenarios in our practice like soft tissue surgery, implant surgery, biopsies, photobiomodulation, teeth whitening, root canal disinfection, gum lightening. Patients feel less to no pain during Laser treatment and its use depends on the clinical situation & eligibility of the patient."
Dental Implants
"Implants have revolutionized teeth replacement and is one of the preferred methods of replacing your teeth to its natural form & function. We analyse & suggest various types of implants like alveolar implants, cortical / basal implants, zygoma / pterygoid implants according to the clinical & medical scenario of the patient. They are also used to retain dentures to provide added security."
Full Mouth Rehabilitation (FMR) & Dentures
"Few patients need complete changeover of their dentition and require the expertise of a multitude of specialists. We at Smile Works bring all sciences of dentistry under one roof to help and provide our patients with all the necessary care. All diagnostic imaging including radiographs, intra-oral scans & CT scans are done in-house to make life easier for our patients."
