General Dentistry
At our clinic, we offer a full range of dental services to help you maintain your oral health and address any dental issues. From routine preventive care to specialized treatments, our goal is to provide comprehensive care for patients of all ages. Whether you need fillings, crowns, bridges, or root canal therapy, we use the latest technology and techniques to ensure effective and comfortable treatment. Below, you’ll find more information about some of the services we provide.
Fillings
There are two general categories of fillings - direct and indirect. Direct fillings are usually done with composite resins, or tooth-coloured fillings, and provide good durability and resistance to fracture in small to mid-size fillings. Indirect fillings have to be molded to fit over your tooth, and are less commonly used.
Crowns
A crown is a tooth-shaped "cap", usually made of the strong zirconium, or the highly aesthetic ceramic or porcelain, or less frequently, of gold.
When would a crown would be recommended?
-
To protect a weak tooth (for instance, after a root canal) from breaking or to hold together a cracked tooth.
-
To restore a broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down.
-
To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't a lot of tooth left.
-
To make cosmetic modifications in terms of shape and/or colour.
We use a state of the art digital scanner to take digital impressions. Studies demonstrate that crowns fabricated from digital intra-oral scanners were equally or more accurate than those produced from traditional impression materials. The scanners are particularly helpful for people with a strong gag reflex who can’t tolerate a tray loaded with impression material.
Bridges
Missing teeth can be restored with with the help of various dental treatments including implants, dentures or bridges. The bridge consists of an artificial tooth flanked by a crown on each side. Bridges are sometimes also attached to dental implants.
Children's Dentistry
We believe the keys to children's dental health are prevention and early intervention. The dentist will provide you with the most up to date information on cavity prevention and bite development. Our office offers a relaxed environment for both kids and adults. We are never in a rush, and will take the time to make kids feel safe and comfortable. The kids can even watch a show on NetFlix while in the dental chair. First dental visit should take place 6 months after the first tooth becomes visible in the mouth or roughly by the child’s first birthday.
Root Canals
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to eliminate pain and infection by removing the tooth pulp. Root canal pain is a common concern associated with Root Canal treatment, which has a reputation for being a difficult procedure. In reality, however, Root Canal treatment can often be completed with minimal discomfort, thanks to advanced techniques, tools, and anesthetics.
