Dental implants are medical devices surgically implanted into the jaw to restore a person's ability to chew or their appearance.

Oral surgery refers to any surgical procedure performed on your teeth, gums, jaws or other oral structures. This includes extractions, implants, gum grafts and jaw surgeries.

Occlusion refers to the alignment of teeth and the way that the upper and lower teeth fit together (bite). The upper teeth should fit slightly over the lower teeth. The points of the molars should fit the grooves of the opposite molar.

Whitening is often desirable when teeth become yellowed over time for a number of reasons, and can be achieved by changing the intrinsic or extrinsic color of the tooth enamel.

Metal braces consist of metal brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by wires.

Once a tooth or dentition suffers from a structural defect, oral health is threatened because the defect is unable to self-regenerate. Therefore, artificial appliances known as dental prostheses are needed to restore the damaged, unaesthetic, or dysfunctional tooth, or to replace one or more missing natural teeth.

Dentists place sealants to protect your teeth from disease-causing bacteria. Your back teeth have deep grooves that help you grind up food when you chew. Food and bacteria can become trapped in these grooves, leading to tooth decay (cavities) over time.

Dermal fillers: Also called soft tissue fillers, injections of substances such as hyaluronic acid or gel add volume back to sunken areas of the face.

Lip augmentation is an in-office cosmetic procedure that creates fuller, more youthful-looking lips.

Laser hair removal is a procedure that uses a laser, or a concentrated beam of light, to get rid of hair in different areas of the body.

Electrolysis can sometimes take up to twenty sessions for complete removal of the hair. With FUE, provided the transection rate is kept below 10%, a complete follicle is removed leading to permanent removal of the hair in 2–3 sessions conserving both time and finance as compared to other procedures routinely used.

A carbon laser peel is a superficial treatment that helps with acne, enlarged pores, oily skin, and uneven skin tone. They're sometimes called carbon laser facials. Despite the name, a carbon laser peel isn't a traditional chemical peel.

Cupping therapy is a form of pseudoscience in which a local suction is created on the skin with the application of heated cups.
