Scaling & Polishing
At Magident Family Dental Care, Anushaktinagar & Andheri, professional scaling and polishing is essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Every day, your teeth are exposed to sugars and starches that create plaque a sticky layer of bacteria that can’t be fully removed by brushing alone.
Over time, this plaque hardens into tartar (calculus), leading to bad breath, gum irritation, and even serious gum diseases if left untreated. It can also create a rough surface on teeth, allowing more plaque to accumulate and continue the damage cycle.
Our advanced scaling and polishing treatment gently removes plaque and tartar buildup, smoothens the tooth surface, and restores your natural shine. This not only improves your oral hygiene but also helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and persistent bad breath—leaving your smile fresh, clean, and healthy.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Restore your smile naturally with tooth-coloured (composite) fillings at Magident Family Dental Care. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite fillings are designed to match the natural shade of your teeth, making them virtually invisible.
These fillings are ideal for treating cavities, repairing chipped or broken teeth, and restoring damaged tooth structure while maintaining a natural look. They bond directly to the tooth, providing strength and durability along with aesthetic appeal.
Our expert dental care ensures that your fillings not only look great but also function perfectly giving you a long-lasting, confident smile without compromising on appearance.
