If left untreated, gum disease can seriously destroy oral function, dental aesthetics and impact your state of health. By Dr Helena Lee |
| 2.05pm | Dental Implants - As Real As It Gets While dentures are the most common way to replace missing teeth, users often find them uncomfortable and hard to chew with. Dental implants are now the treatment of choice for lasting teeth replacement. New technology and innovations have resulted in significantly improved success rates of dental implants while reducing overall treatment time. Best of all, dental implants look, feel and function just like your natural teeth. By Dr Neo Tee Khin |
