Dental Check-up
At Smile View Dental Clinic, we offer comprehensive dental check-ups. Our check-ups include a panoramic x-ray to assess the overall condition of your teeth and, if necessary, small x-rays for detailed examination.
This ensures we catch any issues early and maintain your oral health.
TMJ Treatment
For those experiencing TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues, Smile View Dental provides thorough diagnosis through TMJ treatment using x-rays.
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options may include laser TMJ therapy or medication, or Botox to alleviate symptoms.
Teeth Cleaning (Scaling)
Regular teeth cleaning, or scaling, is essential for maintaining healthy gums. We recommend scheduling cleanings every six months to a year. If your gums are in poor condition, additional periodontal treatment may be required to restore gum health.
Teeth cleaning in Smile View Dental ensure your gums remain healthy and your teeth clean.
Resin Filling
Diastema (Gap Filling)
For congenital gaps between teeth (diastema), resin fillings can be used to cover small gaps.
For larger gaps, dental veneers may be recommended to achieve the best aesthetic results.
Cervical Resin Filling
When the area between the tooth and gum becomes eroded, it can cause sensitivity. Cervical resin fillings are used to treat this, preventing further damage that could require root canal treatment and crowns.
Level 1 Cavity Restoration
Small cavities can be treated by removing the decay and filling the area with resin.
This can be done at one day.
Inlay Filling
(Level 2 Cavity Restoration)
(Level 2 Cavity Restoration)
When cavities are too large for resin fillings or have spread to the tooth’s contact areas, inlay fillings are necessary. This restoration provides a more durable solution for extensive decay and needs one more visit to be done.
Root Canal Treatment
(Level 3 Cavity Restoration)
(Level 3 Cavity Restoration)
For severe cavities that have reached the nerve or are close to it, root canal treatment is necessary. This procedure alleviates pain and prevents further infection. If significant tooth structure is lost, post & core treatment is performed before placing a crown.

Why Dental Check-up in regular is Important for you
Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health.
By having your teeth examined regularly, you can keep track of your dental condition and catch any potential issues early.
Scaling (professional teeth cleaning) should also be done regularly—ideally every six months or at least once a year—to maintain healthy gums. Regular check-ups not only help in monitoring your overall dental health but also in preventing cavities from becoming more severe.
If cavities are left untreated, they can grow larger and eventually require more extensive and costly treatments.
The earlier you catch a cavity, the simpler and less expensive the treatment will be.
Therefore, investing in regular dental visits and scaling is crucial for preventing bigger issues down the road and for keeping both your teeth and gums in the best possible condition.
