Consultation
A dental consultation is the first step towards achieving and maintaining good oral health. It is a comprehensive assessment where a dentist examines your teeth, gums, and overall oral condition to diagnose any existing or potential issues.
Whether you are visiting for a routine check-up, experiencing dental discomfort, or considering cosmetic or restorative procedures, a consultation is the starting point for a healthier and brighter smile.

- X-rays & Diagnostic : X-rays help detect hidden cavities, bone loss, impacted teeth, or other underlying problems.
