Dental Services We Offer
The health of our patients is of utmost importance to us, so we continue to invest in technology and our staff in order to provide you with the care that you deserve. Our dentists are committed to providing excellent dental care and take pride in providing personalized attention to each individual patient. We provide a wide variety of procedures to meet your dental needs including:
- Examinations - A comprehensive exam is critical to maintaining your oral health and establishing that you do not have any dental problems. An exam often consists of x-rays and an oral cancer screening, in addition to a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues.
- Scaling - Regular dental scaling (cleanings) removing any significant calculus buildup that cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone. It helps maintain the general health of your gums and teeth.
- Restorations - Restorations (tooth-coloured or silver fillings) are required for teeth that have been damaged by chewing trauma or caries (cavities). The affected areas of the tooth are cleaned and then “restored” to form and function. By closing off spaces where bacteria can enter, a filling also helps prevent further decay.
- Digital X-rays - X-rays capture an image of your teeth's internal structure that cannot otherwise be seen. Digital X-rays reduce your radiation exposure comparatively while giving a more precise picture that can be resized and enhanced on a computer. This reduces the likelihood that additional image needs to be taken as well as helping us catch a potential dental problem in their earliest stages.
- Extractions - In some cases, the best treatment to restore your smile is to have a tooth extracted. After the tooth is removed, one of our dentists will discuss further treatment options with you.
- Teeth whitening - Teeth naturally darken over time and certain foods or drinks can also affect the colour. Teeth whitening may help brighten your smile. To whiten teeth, we also offer take home bleaching trays.
- Bite planes - If you wake up with headaches, tooth pain, or unexplained damage to your teeth, you may be grinding or clenching in your sleep. This common habit can cause serious damage to your smile. Protect your teeth from nighttime grinding with a custom-fit bite plane.
- Sports guards - A sports guard is essential to protect your teeth from the damage associated with contact sports. If you or your child play full-contact sports, enjoy greater peace of mind with a custom-fit mouth guard.
- Implants - If one or more of your teeth are missing, you may benefit from the placement of an implant. Implants are used to replace missing roots and support artificial replacement teeth. They are comfortable and look like natural teeth. Learn More
- Root Canal Treatment - A root canal procedure is performed when the nerve of the tooth becomes infected, or the pulp becomes damaged. During a root canal procedure, the damaged nerve and pulp are removed, after which the inside of the tooth is cleaned, disinfected and sealed. The tooth will then be pain-free and can be used as it normally should be. Learn More
- CEREC - With CEREC, your treatment is faster and more comfortable because the dental prosthesis is created digitally. It allows your dentist to design high-quality dental restorations in one patient visit. CEREC uses CAD/CAM technology, which allows your dentist to design a virtual restoration without taking impressions and create the restoration while you are still in the chair. This allows us to provide you with crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges, or veneers in one appointment. Learn More
