URL: https://familydentistryofniles.com/tooth-extraction/

### 6. Root Canal Treatment
Removal of infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside the tooth to eliminate pain, resolve infection, and preserve the natural tooth. Performed under local anaesthesia with digital X-ray guidance. The treated tooth is typically restored with a dental crown for long-term protection and function.

### 14. Dental Crowns
Custom-fabricated porcelain or ceramic crowns placed over a damaged, weakened, cracked, or heavily restored tooth to protect it and restore its full shape, strength, and appearance. Also used to complete dental implant restorations and to anchor dental bridges.
URL: https://familydentistryofniles.com/dental-crowns/

### 15. Dental Bridges
A fixed prosthetic device that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (pontic) between two dental crowns placed on adjacent teeth or implants. Restores the ability to chew and speak normally, maintains facial structure, and prevents neighbouring teeth from drifting into the gap.
URL: https://familydentistryofniles.com/dental-bridges/

### 16. Dentures
Custom-fitted full and partial dentures for patients who have lost multiple or all of their teeth. Designed for a comfortable fit, natural appearance, and restored chewing function. Both conventional removable dentures and implant-supported denture options are available.
URL: https://familydentistryofniles.com/dentures/

### 17. Dental Implants
The gold standard for permanent tooth replacement. A titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone and, after osseointegration, topped with a custom porcelain crown. Looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. Preserves jawbone density and does not require altering healthy adjacent teeth. Dr. Shah is AAID-credentialed and Implant Pathway certified with advanced Maxicourse implant training.
URL: https://familydentistryofniles.com/dental-implants/

### 18. Single Dental Implant
A single titanium implant post with a custom-fabricated porcelain crown used to replace one missing tooth. The most natural-looking, longest-lasting, and functionally superior solution for a single missing tooth — preserving adjacent teeth and jawbone health.
