• Regular teeth cleaning:
Teeth cleanings involve removing plaque (soft bacteria infested film) and calculus deposits that have built up on teeth over time.
There are several options for this treatment: Regular cleaning and deep cleaning which includes tooth scaling, cleaning of the tooth below the gum level, and tooth polishment.
Besides these two cleaning procedures, clinics like Sani Dental Group also offer Laser Cleaning.

• Extraction:
Simple extractions are the ones where the tooth is grabbed by forceps and the tooth is extracted with no problems.
• Zirconium crown:
These types of crowns are from a ceramic material called zirconium, a very strong ceramic able to withstand the wear and tear of every day. Aesthetically, it is very similar to a natural tooth reflecting light in much the same way.

Dentures are a proven and reliable method of restoring teeth for people who have lost them. While there are newer, modern options on the market, some conditions may prevent patients from getting other treatments.
