In addition to preventive dentistry, he specializes in prosthodontics, offering various options including silicone linings, titanium materials, and clasp-free dentures. The clinic also focuses on temporomandibular joint disorder treatment, providing a systematic approach through bite adjustment, night guards, splint therapy, and medication as needed. Aesthetic procedures such as home whitening and tooth coating are also available, handled by experienced dental hygienists.
