Dental Cavities is when bacteria eats healthy sections of teeth. When people don’t brush their enough, twice a day for two minutes – left over food items cause a buildup of bacteria on the tooth surfaces which slowly eats into the tooth.
These cavities need to be treated as soon as possible, becuase leaving them further, the cavity spreads to the nerve of the tooth and can cause pain.
Our dentists carefully remove the bad area and fill the empty gaps with a dental filling. Come to a dentist every 6 months for a checkup, so he/she can identify this and fill it as soon as possible. If left untreated it will cause you severe pain which may then have to be treated by a root canals or even extraction of your tooth

We at Alvi Dental Hospital are proud to have a Dental-Surgical Microscope (Carl-Zeiss) since 2004, a first ever for Pakistan and probably till one of the few rare practices that utilize a dental microscope in Pakistan. Its also surprising that only 2% of all practicing dentist in the US, use this as a tool to achieve perfection, while the worldwide percentage is barely in the fractions.
The microscope is used to do dentistry at 24x magnification, which is a substantial leap from the 1x by the naked eye (which most dentists use) or 3x with magnification glasses. You can actually do more accurate dentistry overall. We are now the only dentist in Pakistan to perform Microscopic Endondontics now have the ability to do cutting edge dentistry right here in Pakistan.

Implants are titanium devices that replace the roots of missing teeth. They are used to support crowns, bridges or dentures. Implants are surgically placed in your jawbone. Most of the time, implants feel more natural and secure than other methods of replacing missing teeth, such as dentures. Read more about implants and an FAQ on our implant page

A very commonly asked question by many muslims, Can you brush your teeth with toothpaste while fasting we share opinion from three scholars below
It goes without saying that Islam is a religion which pays attention to the cleanliness, decency, and the good appearance and smell of its adherents. Muslims are recommended to appear decent and clean. They also are to keep their mouth clean by using a brush or miswak
Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto states
It is absolutely fine to brush one’s teeth in the morning with toothpaste while fasting so long as one takes care not to swallow the paste. Toothpaste is not intended for consumption. Fast is only broken when it goes directly into our system. To say that one cannot use toothpaste is nothing but rigidity
The eminent Muslim scholar, Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, adds,
If anything reaches the stomach, it breaks one’s fast according to the majority of Muslim jurists. If one is cautious and brushes his teeth and out of forgetfulness some traces of the toothpaste reach his stomach, he is not sinful, as Allah forgives the mistakes of Muslims that are made unintentionally
While the renowned scholar Zakir Naik had this to say on the specific question
