Treatment & Services
Bonding / White Fillings
Bonding is a composite resin used as an alternative to amalgams and veneers, suitable for patients who prefer a natural look without silver in their mouths. It can be applied to decayed, cracked, or stained teeth. Composite white fillings, the most common type, look natural and bond well with tooth tissue, provided in a single visit. For larger cavities, porcelain or composite inlay/onlay fillings are used, requiring two visits as they are crafted by a dental technician in a laboratory.
Extractions
When a permanent tooth is irreversibly damaged and cannot be saved through other treatments, Extraction is necessary. The procedure, performed under local anesthesia to minimize pain and stress, involves checking the tooth's root condition and may include an X-ray for a thorough examination. The complexity of extraction depends on factors like tooth profile, gum condition, patient anxiety, and tooth structure brittleness.
Scaling
Whilst regular scaling is effective enough for general removal of plaque and tartar on the inner and outer surfaces of the teeth, the Air-Flow method effectively removes stains reaching small gaps in between the teeth and under the gums that cannot be reached with regular scaling.
Polishing
Once all the surfaces are smooth, the dental hygienist may polish your teeth. Polishing is done using a slow speed handpiece with a soft rubber cup that spins on the end. Prophylaxis (short for prophy) paste – a special gritty toothpaste-like material – is scooped up like ice cream into the cup and spun around on the teeth to make them shiny smooth.
Crown
A crown is a restoration that covers or caps a tooth to restore the normal size and shape of the tooth. Following treatment a crown gives strength to a tooth and protects a badly decayed tooth from fracture.
​
When a crown is necessary, dentist now have the ability to fabricate an all porcelain crown for both the front and back of the mouth. The advantage of all porcelain crowns is that they provide the most beautiful, natural esthetics available. There is no metal in these crowns which give it the most natural, life like appearances.
Bridges
​Missing teeth are not only unattractive, but can lead to serious problems. If you are missing one or more teeth, your teeth can begin to drift out of position.
In effect, this can lead to changes in your bite, loss of additional teeth, tooth decay, gum disease as migraine headaches.
If you are experiencing any of these problems, you should consider dental bridgework.
Denture
Denture is a plastic appliance with plastic or porcelain teeth attached to it. Used to replace all missing teeth in one arch.
A conventional denture is placed in the mouth about a month after all the teeth are removed to allow for proper healing, whereas an immediate denture is placed as soon as the teeth are removed.
The drawback behind an immediate denture is that it may require more adjustments after the healing has taken place.

Endodontic
If the dental decay has gone too deep and then causes inflammation of the dental pulp, you may experience toothache or tooth abscess.
During RCT, the dentist will clean the inside nerve of the tooth to preserve the tooth.
Once the nerve is removed, the root is filled with a root canal filling material.
Orthodontic
Orthodontics is a speciality of dentistry that is primarily concerned with the treatment of malocclusions (improper bites).
Orthodontic treatment is the use of braces, most commonly to straighten crooked teeth or to correct prominent upper front teeth. Fixed braces work by moving teeth in the bones so that all the teeth will be aligned and later, use the back teeth as an anchor to pull the front teeth. Two common types of fixed braces available are Metal braces and Ceramic braces
Tooth Whitening
Teeth whitening has become one of the most popular ways to enhance your smile.
At Klinik Pergigian Azlina, we offer a range of teeth whitening options and our dentist will provide you with all the facts you need to make an informed decision about your teeth. Whitening of the teeth is performed for patients who desire a brighter smile. Tooth whitening can be performed to reduce discoloration and staining, or simply to provide the patient with whiter, brighter teeth. One visit is usually all it takes for a bright smile.
Dental Implants
Implants are a strong, attractive option for fixing a toothy smile. An anchor is placed in the patient's jaw and a realistic restoration is built around it. Get rid of your gaps forever with dental implants at our dental clinic.
Implants are inserted under local anesthetic. The dentist makes an incision in the gums and holes in the bone for the implants to be fixed into. After fitting the implants, the gums are closed with stitches.
Once the bone has grown around the dental implants, the artificial teeth are added and any necessary bridges or dentures can be fitted.
Fissure Sealant
Fissure Sealant is a light coating which is applied to these surfaces of teeth to produce a protection on enamel from bacteria that cause decay.
Teeth often have areas that they are too difficult to clean so gradually collect plaque and bacteria.
Usually the molar teeth are the case of needing sealants, especially at a younger age.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Impacted wisdom teeth are third molars at the back of the mouth that don't have enough room to emerge or grow normally.
Wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to come into the mouth (erupt). Most people have four wisdom teeth at the back of the mouth — two on the top, two on the bottom.
Impacted wisdom teeth can result in pain, damage to other teeth and other dental problems. In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth may cause no apparent or immediate problems, but they may be particularly vulnerable to disease.
Impacted wisdom teeth that cause pain or other dental complications are usually removed. Some dentists and oral surgeons also recommend removing impacted wisdom teeth that don't cause symptoms to prevent future problems.

-
Removal of impacted wisdom tooth.
-
Removal of broken root.
-
