MINISH Prosthodontics
Treatment Options for Cavities
MINISH offers a wide array of treatments to address all kinds of cavity issues.
METHOD 1
Resin
If the security of the cavity is negligible, we can simply remove the cavity and fill it with dental fillings.
METHOD 2
Inlay & Onlay
Creating external fillings and attaching them directly to the teeth
METHOD 3
Crowns
Covering the entire head of the tooth in the event of extensive or irreversible tooth damage
METHOD 4
Bridge
An artificial substitute to recover the function of lost teeth using the remaining teeth; prosthodontics replace lost teeth by covering lost teeth on both sides.
METHOD 5
Molar MINISH
Using Molar MINISH Veneers, we only fill damaged areas, preserving as much of the tooth as possible.
MINISH Prosthodontic Solutions
MINISH Molar Veneers
When extensive molar damage occurs, crowns are often recommended, but they can require unnecessary tooth reduction and may negatively affect gum health. At MINISH Dental Hospital, our Molar MINISH veneers offer a revolutionary alternative that minimizes tooth removal while preserving gum integrity. Specifically designed to repair and reinforce damaged molars, these durable veneers withstand significant chewing pressure, restoring both function and appearance so your back teeth continue to support a healthy, effective bite.
MINISH Bridge
The MINISH Bridge is an efficient, aesthetic alternative for front-tooth replacement—ideal for those unable to receive implants—offering quick enhancement in under a week while preserving existing teeth and avoiding the extensive alterations required by traditional bridges. As a superior choice to six-month implants, this solution works by securely bridging the gap left by missing teeth and anchoring the veneer to the adjacent natural teeth, providing both functional stability and an aesthetically seamless result.
MINISH Wing Bridge
This method is used for people who have healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth and who are reluctant to have their teeth shaved at all. The MINISH Wing Bridge fills the space of the lost tooth with a prosthesis and bonding the attached wing-shaped structures on the rear of the teeth on either side of the prosthetic tooth.
MINISH Bridge Veneers
In cases where the adjacent teeth, in addition to the missing tooth, show wear, erosion, or decay and require enamel reconstruction, only the problematic areas are selectively removed. A MINISH veneer–type prosthesis is then fabricated as a single unit, connecting the artificial tooth (pontic) that replaces the missing tooth with the restorations covering the damaged portions of the adjacent teeth.
MINISH Prosthodontics
How Do Cavity Treatment and Prosthodontics Work at MINISH?
STEP 1
Oral Examination
We operate an oral examination system that allows early detection and treatment of cavities (including adjacent cavities) between teeth that are usually difficult to detect. We do this using state-of-the-art equipment such as the Curray pen C/Curray view C.
STEP 2
Painless Anesthesia
Contrary to popular belief, pain that occurs at dental clinics should not be normal. MINISH Dental Hospital ensures that patients do not feel any kind of pain during treatment. Experienced medical personnel go through three to five steps of anesthesia to reduce patient discomfort.
STEP 3
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment removes, sterilizes, and replaces the nerves within infected teeth to deal with cavities and dental trauma. MINISH Dental Hospital does not conduct root canal treatment recklessly. Since healthy nerves do not require root canal treatment, root canal treatment is performed only if the nerves within the teeth are damaged entirely.
MINISH Root Canal Treatment
At MINISH, root canal surgery is only recommended by our doctors if it is absolutely necessary. Our doctors will first attempt to solve cavity issues by other means and revert to performing a root canal only as a last resort.
How is a Root Canal Done?
STEP 1
Damaged Root Canal
The tooth is affected by deep decay or trauma. Bacteria have reached the pulp, causing infection and inflammation that can spread to the bone around the root tip.
STEP 2
Treat Pulpitis
An access opening is made in the tooth, and the inflamed or infected pulp tissue is carefully removed. The dentist cleans and disinfects the root canals to eliminate bacteria and relieve pain.
STEP 3
Root Canal Removal
All remaining infected tissue inside the root canals is completely removed. The canals are shaped and thoroughly cleaned to prepare them for filling, preventing reinfection.
STEP 4
Root Canal Restoration
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material to seal them. The tooth is then restored (often with a filling or crown) to protect it, restore strength, and allow normal function.
When is Root Canal Treatment Needed?
Knowing when you need root canal treatment can be difficult, but there are some clear symptoms that could point to inflammation or damage to the root canal.
Here at MINISH Dental Hospital our highly-experienced doctors are able to expertly treat root canal concerns and other tooth decay issues, and can offer state-of-the-art prosthodontic solutions for all post-root canal needs.

- Pulpitis: Moderate pain when eating hot foods or during daily activities; decay affects the nerves. Treatment requires root canal therapy and crowns.
