Treatments Explained Simply

Dental Implants & Full-Arch

Dent Glow provides care from a single missing tooth to fixed bridges, including options such as All-on-4 and All-on-6. An abutment is the connector between an implant and your new crown or bridge.

Crowns & Veneers
 

Available options include zirconia, which is a strong, tooth-colored ceramic, full porcelain or ceramic, and PFM, which stands for porcelain fused to metal. These materials are used for both strength and aesthetics.

Root Canal & Restorations

Root canal treatment cleans infection inside a tooth. The final shape can then be rebuilt with composite fillings, inlays, or onlays.

Dentures

The clinic offers full and partial denture designs, including metal frames and flippers, which are temporary partial dentures.

Whitening & Hygiene
 

Patients can book in-clinic whitening, routine cleanings, and deep cleanings by quadrant.

Diagnostics

Panoramic and 3D imaging are used to help plan care accurately.
