Procedures by Dr Sheeyin Tan
10 procedures. See Dr's profile.
Children Dentistry
Dental care for infants, children and teens — first visits, check-ups, fluoride, fissure sealants and fillings — paced to each child's comfort.
Crowns and Bridges
A crown caps a weakened or root-treated tooth to restore its shape and strength; a bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring onto the teeth beside the gap. Both typically take two visits.
Dentures
Removable replacements for missing teeth — full or partial — made of acrylic or metal-framed cobalt-chromium. Fitting takes several appointments, with adjustments as you adapt.
Extractions
Removal of teeth that cannot be saved due to decay, gum disease, fracture or crowding, done under local anaesthesia. Replacement options are discussed before any extraction.
Fillings
Repairs teeth damaged by decay, chips or wear: the damaged portion is removed and the tooth is rebuilt with tooth-coloured filling material, usually in a single visit.
Replacing Missing Teeth
An overview of the options for replacing missing teeth — implants, bridges and dentures — covering what each involves, how long each lasts and typical costs.
Root Canal Treatment
Removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans, shapes and seals the root canals so the natural tooth can be kept. Usually one to three visits; a crown is often recommended afterwards.
Whitening
Lightens the shade of natural teeth using dental-grade whitening gel, applied in-clinic or with custom take-home trays. Results vary with the cause of discolouration.
Wisdom Tooth Surgery
Removal of impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth in a minor surgical procedure under local anaesthesia or sedation, with stitches removed about one to two weeks later.
