Invisalign is a clear aligner system that moves teeth with a series of removable trays.
Wisdom tooth surgery removes a third molar that is impacted, decayed or damaging a neighbour.
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp, disinfects the canal and seals the tooth so it can be kept.
Gum disease ranges from gingivitis, which is reversible, to periodontitis, which destroys the bone supporting teeth.
A dental crown caps a weakened or heavily repaired tooth to restore its shape and strength.
A denture is a removable dental prosthesis that replaces missing teeth in Singapore.
Teeth whitening lightens tooth colour by breaking down stains with peroxide.
