Dental Tips & Guides by Dr. Maryam Bangash

By Dr. Maryam Bangash, DDS (NYU) | Dreamworks Dental Studios, Rawalpindi | Last reviewed: October 2026

Missing one tooth or several? “Artificial teeth” – or nakli dant, as many patients call them – covers three different treatments: dental implants, dental bridges and dentures. Each one works differently, lasts a different length of time and costs very different amounts. This guide explains the artificial teeth price in Pakistan for each option, so you can compare them before your visit. We start with typical prices across Pakistan, then show exactly what each option costs at our clinic in Bahria Town, Rawalpindi.

Artificial Teeth Price in Pakistan at a Glance

Why does the artificial teeth price in Pakistan vary so much?

The artificial teeth price in Pakistan covers a wide range because two patients can pay for the “same” treatment and receive very different things. The main reasons:

• Materials and brands. Implants come from many manufacturers, from budget systems to premium international brands with long research records – the implant alone can account for much of the price difference. Bridges range from basic metal-ceramic to high-strength zirconia, and dentures from basic acrylic to flexible or metal frameworks with higher-quality artificial teeth.
• The dental laboratory. Crowns, bridges and dentures are custom-made in a lab. A skilled lab using good materials produces a better fit, colour match and finish – and charges more for it.
• The dentist’s training and experience. Planning and placing implants, or making a denture that fits and bites correctly, depends heavily on the dentist’s skill. More experienced, highly trained dentists usually charge more.
• What is included in the quote. Some low prices cover only part of the treatment. One quote may include X-rays, the implant, the abutment, the crown and follow-up visits; another may quote the implant alone and add the rest later.
• Extra treatment you may need. Extractions, gum treatment or bone grafting before the new teeth are fitted add to the total.
• How many teeth and which teeth. A bridge is priced per tooth, and a complete denture quote may be for one jaw or for both upper and lower.
• City and clinic standards. Running costs differ between cities and clinics – including sterilization standards, equipment and digital X-rays.

The lowest price is not always the best value: an artificial tooth that fits poorly or fails early usually costs more to redo. Always ask exactly what your quote includes. At our clinic, the full treatment plan and price are explained after an examination and X-rays, before any treatment begins.

Fixed vs removable artificial teeth – what is the difference?

Before comparing the artificial teeth price in Pakistan for each option, it helps to know the two main types. Fixed teeth (implants and bridges) stay in your mouth permanently. You brush and floss them like natural teeth, and they feel the most natural when you eat and speak.

Removable teeth (dentures) are taken out for cleaning and usually at night. They are the most affordable way to replace several or all teeth, but they take a few weeks to get used to.

Option 1: Dental implants – the closest thing to a natural tooth

A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone. Over a few months the bone grows around it and holds it firmly, and a crown is then fitted on top. Because the implant replaces the root, it helps preserve the jawbone, and it does not need any support from neighbouring teeth.

• Price at our clinic: PKR 150,000 – 180,000 per tooth
• Time: usually 3–6 months from placement to the final tooth
• Bone grafting: if there is not enough bone, bone grafting may be needed first (PKR 30,000 per cc)
• Who it suits: healthy adults with enough bone, who want a long-term fixed tooth

We place single and multiple tooth implants and implant-supported dentures. See our full dental implant cost guide for brands and what is included.

Option 2: Dental bridges – fixed teeth without surgery

A bridge fills a gap by attaching an artificial tooth to crowns placed on the teeth on either side. It is fixed in place, needs no surgery, and is usually ready in about a week because it is made in a dental laboratory.

How bridges are priced: bridges are charged per tooth (unit), at the same price as a dental crown. A standard bridge replacing one missing tooth has 3 units – two supporting crowns and the artificial tooth in the middle:

Maryland bridge – PKR 20,000 at our clinic. For a missing front tooth, a Maryland bridge attaches the artificial tooth with small wings bonded to the back of the neighbouring teeth, so very little drilling is needed.

Things to know: the supporting teeth must be shaped for crowns, and a bridge does not preserve the bone under the gap the way an implant does. On average a bridge lasts 5 to 15 years, and longer with good care and regular checkups.

Option 3: Dentures – the most affordable way to replace several teeth

Dentures are removable artificial teeth on a gum-coloured base, and they offer the lowest artificial teeth price in Pakistan when several teeth need replacing. Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth; complete dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw.

It usually takes a few weeks to get used to new dentures – starting with softer foods helps. For more stability, an implant-supported denture clips onto 2–4 implants so it does not slip. See our dentures page and our implants vs dentures comparison.

Which option is right for you?

The best choice is not only about the artificial teeth price in Pakistan – the health of your bone, gums and remaining teeth matters just as much.

“Teeth transplant” – what people usually mean

Many people search for “teeth transplant cost in Pakistan”. Moving a natural tooth from one place to another is rarely done. In almost all cases, what people are looking for is a dental implant – a fixed artificial tooth anchored in the jawbone.

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged tooth and restores its shape, strength and appearance. The dental crown cost in Rawalpindi depends mainly on the material. At Dreamworks Dental Studios, a PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal) crown is PKR 15,000 and a zirconia crown is PKR 35,000. This guide explains what each option offers, how long it lasts, and where it works best.

Dental crown cost in Rawalpindi

These prices cover the crown itself. Any root canal or build-up needed first is priced separately, and your consultation with X-rays (PKR 3,000) confirms whether a crown is the right treatment.

When do you need a crown?

A crown is usually recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling to hold. Common reasons include:

• A large old filling that is breaking down
• A cracked or fractured tooth
• A back tooth after root canal treatment, which becomes more brittle
• A badly worn or discolored tooth
• The top of a dental implant, or as part of a bridge

If a tooth only needs a cosmetic change at the front, a veneer may be a more conservative choice.

Replacing a missing tooth rather than repairing one? A bridge uses crowns on the neighbouring teeth and is priced per tooth – see our artificial teeth price guide to compare bridges, implants and dentures.

Zirconia vs PFM: which should you choose?

PFM crowns

PFM crowns have a metal base covered with tooth-colored porcelain. They are strong and cost less. Over time, a thin grey line can show at the gum, so they are better suited to back teeth.

Zirconia crowns

Zirconia is a very strong, metal-free ceramic. It handles heavy chewing forces well, which makes it a common choice for molars, bridges and patients who grind their teeth. Modern layered zirconia also looks natural.

Front teeth

For front teeth, where appearance matters most, zirconia is usually the better choice. It is metal-free, so there is no grey line at the gum. PFM is generally kept for back teeth.

Dr. Maryam Bangash will recommend a material based on the tooth’s position, your bite and how much natural tooth remains, not on price alone.

What affects the final cost?

• Material and lab: premium ceramics and experienced dental labs cost more.
• Extra work first: some teeth need a root canal, a core build-up or gum treatment before the crown.
• Number of teeth: a bridge replaces a missing tooth using crowns on the neighboring teeth, so it is priced per unit.

The crown procedure, step by step

1. Examination and X-ray to check the root and surrounding bone
2. Shaping the tooth under local anaesthetic
3. Impression or digital scan, then a temporary crown
4. The crown is made in a dental lab, which takes about a week. Fitting and cementing it then takes 15–30 minutes

Most patients need two visits. Overseas visitors can usually fit this into a short trip. See our guide for overseas Pakistanis.

Root canal treatment saves a tooth whose nerve is infected or inflamed. The root canal cost in Rawalpindi depends mostly on which tooth needs treatment, because molars have more canals and take longer to treat. Most back teeth also need a crown afterwards, which is a separate cost worth planning for.

Root canal cost in Rawalpindi by tooth

These prices cover the root canal treatment only. A crown, if needed, is priced separately. The consultation with X-rays is PKR 3,000.

Why molars cost more

A front tooth usually has one straight canal. A molar can have three or four narrow, curved canals, and each one must be found, cleaned, shaped and sealed. That takes more time and sometimes two visits, which is why molar root canals are priced higher.

Do you need a crown after a root canal?

Usually yes, for back teeth. Once the nerve is removed, the tooth becomes more brittle and can crack under chewing forces. A crown protects it. Front teeth can sometimes be restored with a filling alone.

See our dental crown cost guide to estimate the total. As a planning figure, a molar root canal plus a zirconia crown comes to roughly PKR 55,000–60,000 (PKR 20,000–25,000 for the root canal plus PKR 35,000 for the crown).

Root canal vs extraction: which costs less?

Removing a tooth costs less on the day, but replacing it later with an implant or a bridge usually costs far more. A dental implant with crown at our clinic is PKR 150,000–180,000. Keeping your natural tooth is generally the better long-term choice when it can be saved.

How to keep the total cost down

The biggest factor in what you pay is how early the problem is treated. A few simple steps help keep the total lower:

• Don’t wait for the pain to get worse. A tooth treated early is usually simpler to clean and seal.
• Fit the crown promptly. A back tooth left without a crown can crack, and a cracked tooth may not be saveable.
• Keep up regular checkups. Small cavities found early need a filling, not a root canal.
• Ask for a written plan. Knowing the cost of the root canal, any post and the crown up front avoids surprises.

Is root canal treatment painful?

Modern root canal treatment is done under local anaesthetic and feels similar to having a filling. Most patients find it relieves the pain they came in with. Some tenderness for a few days afterwards is normal. Read more about what to expect during root canal treatment.

No dentist wants to remove a tooth that can be saved. Sometimes, though, extraction is the healthiest option, such as for a tooth broken below the gumline, a severe infection, or advanced gum disease. This guide covers tooth extraction in Rawalpindi: the cost, what happens on the day, and how to heal well afterwards. If your question is about wisdom teeth, see our wisdom tooth removal guide.

When is a tooth extraction needed?

• Decay or a fracture so extensive the tooth can’t be restored
• Infection that hasn’t responded to root canal treatment
• Teeth loosened by advanced gum disease
• Crowding before orthodontic treatment
• Baby teeth that haven’t fallen out on time

We always discuss alternatives first. A tooth that can be saved usually should be.

Tooth extraction in Rawalpindi: cost

The consultation with X-rays is PKR 3,000. The X-ray shows the root shape and nearby nerves, so we can plan the safest approach.

What happens during an extraction

1. The area is fully numbed with local anaesthetic. You’ll feel pressure, but not pain.
2. The tooth is gently loosened and removed. A surgical extraction may need a small incision or the tooth sectioned into pieces.
3. Gauze is placed to help a blood clot form. Stitches are used if needed.

A simple extraction usually takes 20–40 minutes.

Recovery and aftercare

The first 24 hours

• Bite on the gauze for 30–45 minutes
• Don’t rinse, spit forcefully or use a straw, so the clot isn’t disturbed
• Avoid smoking, which raises the risk of dry socket
• Eat soft, cool food and chew on the other side

From day 2

• Rinse gently with warm salt water after meals
• Brush normally, avoiding the socket itself
• Take painkillers as advised

Most people feel back to normal within 3–4 days. Call us if pain gets worse after day 3, bleeding won’t stop, or swelling increases. These can be signs of dry socket or infection.

What to eat after a tooth extraction

For the first two to three days, choose soft, cool or lukewarm foods that need little chewing:

• Yoghurt, raita or lassi
• Soft khichdi, daal or mashed potatoes
• Scrambled eggs
• Soup that has cooled down
• Bananas or other soft fruit

Avoid hot drinks, spicy food, nuts and anything crunchy until the area feels comfortable, and chew on the other side.

Replacing the missing tooth

A gap can let neighbouring teeth drift and affect your bite over time. Options include a dental implant, a bridge or a denture. We explain the differences in implants vs dentures. If you’re planning an implant, ask about it before the extraction, as the site sometimes needs bone grafting.

Dreamworks Dental Studios — Where Your Dream Smiles Come to Life

By Dr. Maryam Bangash, DDS (NYU) | Dreamworks Dental Studios, Rawalpindi | Last reviewed: October 2026

A filling repairs a tooth damaged by decay and stops the cavity from getting bigger. Today, most fillings are tooth colored fillings made of composite resin, rather than silver amalgam. Composite blends in with your natural teeth and bonds directly to the tooth, so less healthy tooth needs to be removed.

Signs you may need a filling

• Sensitivity to sweet, hot or cold food and drinks
• A dark spot, hole or rough edge you can feel with your tongue
• Food repeatedly getting stuck in one place
• A broken or chipped old filling

Small cavities often have no symptoms at all, which is why checkups and X-rays matter. Catching decay early keeps fillings small and affordable.

Composite vs amalgam fillings

We offer both composite and amalgam fillings, and Dr. Maryam will recommend the right option for each tooth.

Tooth colored fillings: cost

If a cavity is very large or has reached the nerve, a filling may not be enough. You might need root canal treatment or a crown instead. We’ll explain this before starting.

Do tooth colored fillings look natural?

Yes. Composite comes in many shades, and the dentist matches it to the colour of your tooth before placing it. Once it is shaped and polished, a well-placed composite filling is very hard to spot, even on front teeth.

Composite can pick up stains over time from tea, coffee and smoking, just like natural teeth. Regular cleaning and polishing at your checkups helps it stay bright.

The filling procedure

1. The tooth is numbed if needed. Small fillings sometimes don’t need anaesthetic.
2. Decay is removed and the tooth is cleaned.
3. Composite is placed in thin layers and hardened with a curing light.
4. The filling is shaped and polished to fit your bite.

Most fillings are completed in one visit of 30–60 minutes.

Caring for a new filling in the first 24 hours

• Wait until the numbness wears off before eating
• Mild sensitivity to cold for a few days is normal
• If your bite feels high or uneven, call us so we can adjust it

Making your filling last

• Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and clean between your teeth
• Limit sugary snacks and fizzy drinks between meals
• Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
• Keep up regular checkups so wear is caught early

If you have a chipped tooth, a small gap or uneven edges, two cosmetic options usually come up, and patients often ask us about dental bonding vs veneers. Both can make a big difference, but they differ in cost, durability and how much of your natural tooth is involved. Here is how to decide.

What is dental bonding?

Bonding uses tooth-coloured composite resin, applied directly to the tooth and sculpted by hand in a single visit. Little or no drilling is needed, so it is fully or mostly reversible.

What are veneers?

Veneers are thin shells, usually porcelain (such as E-max), custom-made in a lab and bonded to the front of the teeth. A thin layer of enamel is usually removed so they sit naturally, which makes the treatment permanent. Composite veneers are a lower-cost middle option. See our veneers cost guide for details.

Dental bonding vs veneers compared

When bonding is the better choice

• A single small chip or a worn edge
• A small gap between front teeth
• Younger patients, where keeping enamel is a priority
• A lower budget, or a trial before committing to veneers

When veneers are the better choice

• Several teeth need changes in shape, size or colour
• Deep staining that whitening can’t lift
• You want a long-lasting result with high stain resistance
• As part of a full smile makeover

Closing a gap between front teeth

A small gap between the two front teeth is one of the most common reasons people ask about bonding or veneers. For a narrow gap, bonding can often close it in a single visit by adding a little composite to the sides of both teeth. For a wider gap, or when the teeth are also uneven or discoloured, veneers usually give a more even, longer-lasting result. Where the gap is very large or the bite is involved, clear aligners may be the better first step.

Caring for bonding or veneers

• Brush twice daily and clean between your teeth
• Avoid biting nails, pens or ice
• Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
• Keep up regular checkups and polishing

What Dr. Maryam considers

Before recommending either option, Dr. Maryam Bangash checks your bite, gum health, any grinding habit and how your teeth look when you smile and speak. Sometimes the best plan combines treatments, such as whitening first, then bonding one tooth to match.

Gums that bleed when you brush or floss are not normal, even if it doesn’t hurt, and early gum disease treatment in Rawalpindi can stop the problem getting worse. Bleeding is often the first sign of gum disease, one of the most common reasons adults lose teeth. The good news is that early gum disease can be reversed with professional cleaning and better daily care. This guide explains the early signs and how deep cleaning works.

Signs of gum disease

• Gums that bleed when brushing, flossing or eating
• Red, swollen or tender gums
• Persistent bad breath or a bad taste
• Gums pulling back, making teeth look longer
• Loose teeth, or a change in how your teeth fit together
• Pus between the teeth and gums

Gingivitis vs periodontitis

Gingivitis (early stage)

Plaque builds up along the gumline and inflames the gums. At this stage there is no permanent damage, and it can be reversed.

Periodontitis (advanced stage)

If gingivitis isn’t treated, the infection can spread below the gumline. It damages the bone that holds teeth in place, and pockets form between the teeth and gums. Bone loss cannot be fully reversed, but treatment can stop it progressing and help you keep your teeth.

What causes gum disease?

The main cause is plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that hardens into tartar if it isn’t removed. Your risk is higher if you:

• Smoke or use naswar or gutka
• Have diabetes, which is common in Pakistan and closely linked with gum disease
• Are pregnant, due to hormonal changes
• Have crowded teeth that are harder to clean
• Haven’t had a professional cleaning in a long time

Gum disease treatment in Rawalpindi: how we treat it

Treatment depends on how advanced the disease is. Dr. Maryam Bangash measures the gum pockets and checks X-rays before recommending a plan:

1. Professional cleaning: scaling and polishing removes plaque and tartar above the gumline. This is often all gingivitis needs.
2. Deep cleaning (root planing): cleans below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces so the gums can reattach. It is done under local anaesthetic.
3. Home care plan: brushing technique, interdental brushes or floss, and a mouthwash where appropriate.
4. Review visits: pockets are re-measured after a few weeks, and regular maintenance cleanings keep the disease under control.

Dr. Maryam Bangash treats advanced gum disease at the clinic herself, with regular review visits to keep it under control.

Many patients worry that cleaning damages teeth. It doesn’t. We explain why in does scaling damage teeth?

Preventing gum disease at home

Most gum disease can be prevented with a few daily habits:

• Brush twice a day for two minutes with a soft brush, angled towards the gumline
• Clean between your teeth once a day with floss or interdental brushes
• Stop smoking and avoid naswar or gutka
• If you have diabetes, keep your blood sugar well controlled
• Have a professional cleaning every six months

Cost of gum treatment

• Consultation with X-rays: PKR 3,000
• Scaling and polishing: PKR 8,000–12,000
• Deep cleaning (root planing): PKR 12,000–15,000 per arch

Gum contouring in Rawalpindi helps people who feel their smile shows too much gum, or that their teeth look short or uneven. Gum contouring, also called gum reshaping or gingivectomy, removes a small amount of excess gum to reveal more of each tooth. The result is a more balanced smile, often in a single visit. This guide explains how it works and what to expect.

Is gum contouring right for you?

You may be a good candidate if:

• Your teeth look short because gum covers part of them
• Your gumline is uneven, with some teeth looking longer than others
• You’re planning veneers or crowns and want an even gumline first

A gummy smile has several possible causes, and not all of them are treated with gum contouring. If the cause is the jaw position or a very active upper lip, other approaches may suit you better. Dr. Maryam Bangash will assess the cause before recommending treatment.

What causes a gummy smile?

A gummy smile can have several causes, and the cause decides the right treatment:

• Extra gum covering the teeth: the gums sit lower on the teeth than usual. This is the type gum contouring treats best.
• Short or worn teeth: grinding or wear can make teeth look short next to the gums.
• Gum overgrowth: inflammation or certain medicines can make gums swell and grow.
• A high lip line or jaw position: the upper lip lifts more than average when you smile, or the upper jaw is longer. These usually need other approaches.

How the procedure works

1. Planning: we measure how much tooth is hidden and plan the new gumline to suit your face and lip line.
2. Numbing: local anaesthetic is applied, so the procedure is comfortable.
3. Reshaping: excess gum tissue is carefully removed and contoured with a scalpel.
4. Finishing: the area is cleaned, and aftercare instructions are given.

Treatment usually takes 30–90 minutes, depending on how many teeth are involved.

Recovery

• Mild tenderness for a few days, managed with simple painkillers
• Soft, cool foods for 2–3 days; avoid spicy and very hot food
• Gentle brushing around the area, with salt-water rinses if advised
• Gums usually look settled within 1–2 weeks, with final healing over a few more weeks

Gum contouring in Rawalpindi: cost

The cost depends on how many teeth are involved. Dr. Maryam will give you an exact quote at your cosmetic consultation, which is free.

Questions to ask before gum contouring

• What is causing my gummy smile, and will contouring fix it?
• How many teeth need treatment to give an even result?
• Are my gums healthy enough, or do I need a cleaning first?
• How long will healing take, and when can I eat normally?
• Would veneers or bonding afterwards improve the result further?

Dr. Maryam Bangash will answer each of these at your consultation and show you what the new gumline could look like before you decide.

Combining it with other cosmetic treatment

Gum contouring is often one step of a larger plan. An even gumline makes veneers or bonding look more natural, and it’s a common part of a smile makeover or Hollywood smile. Read more about cosmetic dentistry in Rawalpindi.

Knowing the dental checkup cost in Rawalpindi makes it easier to plan regular visits, and a routine checkup is the simplest way to avoid expensive treatment later. Most problems, such as cavities, gum disease and cracked fillings, are painless and easy to fix when caught early. This guide covers what a checkup costs at Dreamworks Dental Studios, what it includes, and how often you need one.

Dental checkup cost in Rawalpindi: prices at a glance

Prices are confirmed before any treatment begins. There are no surprise charges.

What a checkup includes

1. A conversation first: any concerns, your medical history and medications.
2. A full mouth examination: teeth, fillings, gums, bite, tongue and soft tissues, including screening for signs of oral cancer.
3. Digital X-rays where needed: to find decay between teeth and check the bone and roots.
4. A clear plan: what’s healthy, what needs attention, and what can wait. Nothing is done without your agreement.

What professional cleaning does

Scaling and polishing removes hardened tartar that brushing can’t, especially behind the lower front teeth and along the gumline. It helps prevent gum disease and bad breath, and removes surface stains from tea and food. It does not harm enamel. We explain why in does scaling damage teeth?

What to bring to your first visit

• A list of any medicines you take, including blood thinners
• Details of medical conditions such as diabetes, heart problems or pregnancy
• Any recent dental X-rays or treatment records
• Questions or concerns you want to discuss

Arriving a few minutes early gives you time to fill in your medical history, so the checkup itself can start on time.

How often should you have a checkup?

• Most adults: every 6 months
• History of gum disease: every 3–4 months
• Children: from the first tooth, then every 6 months. See our children’s dentist page.
• Low risk with excellent oral health: your dentist may suggest a longer interval

Don’t wait for your next checkup if you notice

• Toothache or sensitivity that lasts more than a few days
• Bleeding, swollen or receding gums
• A broken tooth, filling or crown
• A sore or patch in the mouth that hasn’t healed in two weeks
• Persistent bad breath

These are easier and cheaper to treat when they are seen early.

Why checkups save money

A small cavity found at a checkup needs a simple filling. Left for a year or two, the same cavity can reach the nerve and need a root canal and crown instead. A regular checkup costs a fraction of either.

Sensitive teeth cause a quick, sharp twinge when you drink something cold, bite into ice cream or breathe in cold air. It is one of the most common dental complaints. Tooth sensitivity happens when the softer layer under the enamel, called dentine, becomes exposed. Tiny channels in the dentine carry the sensation straight to the nerve. The good news is that it is usually very treatable once the cause is known.

Common causes of sensitive teeth

• Brushing too hard, or using a hard-bristled brush, which wears enamel and pushes gums back
• Gum recession, often linked to gum disease, which exposes the root surface
• Tooth decay or a broken filling, which needs a new filling
• Acid erosion from fizzy drinks, citrus or acid reflux
• Teeth grinding, which wears enamel and causes tiny cracks; a night guard can help
• A cracked tooth, especially if it hurts when you bite or release
• After whitening or dental work, which is usually temporary

What you can do at home

• Use a desensitising toothpaste twice daily. Give it 2–4 weeks to work.
• Switch to a soft brush and gentle, circular strokes.
• At night, smear a little desensitising toothpaste on the sensitive area and don’t rinse it off.
• Drink acidic drinks with meals, use a straw, and wait 30 minutes before brushing afterwards.

How to prevent sensitive teeth

• Use a soft toothbrush and gentle strokes
• Use a fluoride toothpaste, or a desensitising one if you are prone to sensitivity
• Limit fizzy drinks, citrus juices and very acidic foods
• Don’t brush straight after acidic food or drink; wait 30 minutes
• Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
• Treat gum disease early to prevent gum recession

When to see a dentist

Book a checkup if sensitivity:

• Lasts more than a few weeks despite sensitive toothpaste
• Is limited to one tooth
• Lingers for more than a few seconds after the trigger is gone
• Comes with pain when biting, swelling or a bad taste

Pain that lingers or throbs can mean the nerve is inflamed. That may need root canal treatment, so it’s best not to wait.

Sensitive teeth after whitening or a new filling

It is common to have sensitive teeth for a few days after professional whitening, a new filling or a deep cleaning. This usually settles on its own within one to two weeks. Using a desensitising toothpaste and avoiding very hot or cold food helps in the meantime.

If the sensitivity gets worse instead of better, lasts longer than two weeks, or one tooth throbs on its own, contact us so we can check the tooth.
