Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth, restoring function and aesthetics after tooth loss.
Treatment of facial trauma involves repairing fractures and soft tissue damage to restore function and appearance after trauma.
Orthognathic surgery corrects jaw misalignment and facial imbalances by repositioning the jaws, improving both function and appearance.
Treatment for TMJ disorder addresses pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint, using therapies ranging from conservative management to surgical intervention.
Oral pathology involves the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the mouth, jaws, and related structures, including biopsies and lesion management.
Aesthetic procedures address concerns related to appearance by enhancing or reshaping features of the face and body, using a range of treatments that include both non-surgical options and surgical interventions.
Pre-prosthetic surgery addresses anatomical conditions in the mouth that may hinder the fit and function of dental prostheses, using surgical procedures to optimize the oral environment for comfortable, stable, and effective denture placement.
Sedation and anaesthesia address patient comfort and anxiety during dental procedures by using medications that provide relaxation or pain control, ranging from mild sedation to general anaesthesia based on the needs of the patient and procedure.
