Yes, modern composite materials are quite durable and can withstand normal biting forces. While amalgam (metal) fillings may last slightly longer in some cases, tooth coloured restorations offer excellent strength along with cosmetic benefits.

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or denture. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

With proper care, dental implants can last 15 years or more — often a lifetime. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene are essential for their longevity.

Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars at the very back of your mouth. They usually emerge between the ages of 17 and 25, often referred to as the “age of wisdom.”

Wisdom teeth often don’t have enough space to emerge properly and can become impacted (trapped in the gums or jaw), leading to pain, swelling, infection, or misalignment of other teeth.

Braces are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth, fix bite issues (overbite, underbite, etc.), and improve overall dental health. They apply gentle pressure over time to move teeth into proper alignment.

Braces can be effective for both children and adults. Most orthodontic issues are best treated between ages 10–14, but adult braces are very common and successful too.

Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue pulls back or wears away, exposing more of the tooth or its root. This can lead to tooth sensitivity, decay, and even tooth loss if left untreated.

Mild gum recession may be managed, but receded gum tissue does not grow back naturally. However, treatment can prevent further damage and in some cases, restore gum tissue through surgical procedures.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, strength, size, and appearance. It covers the entire visible part of the tooth.

With good care, they can last 10–15 years or longer. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, eating habits, and regular dental checkups.
