Our General Dentistry Services

Tooth-colored fillings

Say goodbye to those unsightly metal fillings and hello to tooth- colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your smile! At Asta Dental we offer modern, cosmetic dental fillings that match the natural color of your teeth. These resin fillings are not only cosmetic and natural looking but also strong and durable.

Emergencies happen despite our best efforts to take care of our oral health. We understand that and stay ready to provide prompt relief from pain and discomfort. Our commitment is to prioritize your well-being, aiming to schedule you for a same-day appointment whenever possible. Do not hesitate to contact us if you are facing a dental emergency. We are here to help.

Extractions

When it’s time to part ways with a troublesome tooth, our dental team is here to make it a breeze! Dental extractions may sound daunting, but at our practice, we turn it into a toothy adventure. With gentle care and a dash of humor, we’ll have that tooth out before you know it. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure you leave with a smile - minus one tooth, but plus a whole lot of comfort and care!

Crowns

Dental crowns are like the superhero capes for your teeth, giving them a second chance to shine. Whether your tooth needs a makeover or just a little extra protection, our crowns will have it looking and feeling fantastic. Get ready to rule your dental kingdom with a sparkling smile.

Bridges

Ever wondered how we bridge the gap in your smile? It’s a simple, yet transformative process.

  1. Anchor Points: The teeth adjacent to the gap are prepared to be used as anchor points for the bridge.
  2. Tailored Design: A dental bridge is customized in the lab that perfectly fits the space, ensuring a seamless blend with your natural teeth.
  3. Restored Function: The bridge is then cemented to the anchor teeth which brings back your ability to chew, speak and smile comfortably.

Root Canal Therapy

Rescue Mission for a severely damaged or infected tooth.

  • Numb and Comfortable: We make sure you’re comfortable with local anesthesia.
  • Cleaning: We create a tiny access point to reach the tooth’s pulp (the innermost part). Then we remove the damaged or infected tissue, the source of your pain.
  • Sealing: Once cleaned, we fill the space with a biocompatible material to protect the tooth and prevent any future infection.
  • Crowning glory: In many cases, we’ll add a crown to restore the tooth’s strength and appearance.
