SMART mercury removal
Amaglam restoration is a popular restorative material that has been used for decades and is strong and lasting. Amalgam is an metal alloy that consist of about 50% mercury and other elements like silver, tin and zinc.
In cases where the mercury filling needs to be removed, we follow the SMART procotol from IAOMT.

SAME DAY CROWN
When the cavity is too large or the tooth needs protection, we may have to use a stronger material than direct composite resin restoration. In such situations, we will normally turn to a stronger material like metal or ceramic crown/partial crown.
Advances in ceramic technology and Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Milling (CAD/CAM), has made it possible to fabricate the crown on the same day in-house. We also have in-house ceramists to help with the customised fabrication of the crown or partial crown.
Dr Kelvin Chua has lectured on the topic of direct composite resin and ceramic restorations using CAD/CAM technology.
