1. Extractions

A dental extraction (also known as tooth extraction) is the removal of teeth from the dental socket in the jaw bone. Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, but most commonly to remove teeth which have become unrestorable through tooth decay, disease, or dental trauma, especially when they are associated with toothache.

In certain treatments, if the teeth are crowded, healthy teeth may be extracted to create space so the rest of the teeth can be straightened.

2. Fillings / Tooth coloured Filling

Dental restoration, dental fillings, or simply fillings are treatments used to restore the function, integrity, and morphology of missing tooth structure. This may happen due to caries or external trauma and may be because of the replacement of such structure supported by dental implants.

They are of two broad types—direct and indirect—and are further known by location and size. A root canal filling, for example, is a restoration process used to fill the space where the dental pulp normally resides.

3. Pit & Fissure Sealants

This is a process of direct restoration for a damaged tooth. This technique involves placing a soft or malleable filling into the prepared tooth and building up the tooth. The material is then set hard and the tooth is restored.

The advantage of direct restoration process is that they are usually set quickly and can be placed in a single procedure.
