Scope of Dental Services
Our general dentistry services in Hamilton include preventive care, diagnostic assessment, restorative procedures, and therapeutic treatments designed to maintain and restore oral health.
Toothaches are characterized by persistent or intermittent pain in or around a tooth, often associated with decay, infection, gum inflammation, or structural damage.
Fillings
A filling is used to repair a tooth that has decayed or broken. It restores the tooth's natural shape and anatomy and also makes it strong again.
Dental sealants are white coatings that flow into the grooves of molars to prevent decay in the deep pits. They are commonly placed on children’s molars. They are easy to set and don’t require any freezing.
A root canal removes infected tissue from inside the tooth, which is then cleaned, filled, and sealed to restore function. Local anesthesia ensures the procedure is painless. A filling is placed afterward, and a crown may be recommended to prevent fractures and strengthen the tooth.
Crowns
A dental crown is a custom-made "cap" placed over a tooth to protect it from damage and restore its strength and appearance. Crowns are commonly recommended for teeth with large cavities, extensive fillings, or small fractures. They can be made from durable metals like stainless steel or gold, or designed to match your natural tooth colour using materials such as porcelain or zirconia.
Extractions
An extraction is the removal of a tooth from the socket in the jawbone. The most common reasons for extractions are decay, periodontal disease, fractures, trauma, and pain/infection associated with wisdom teeth.
Dentures are custom-made appliances you can take in and out of your mouth to replace missing teeth. If you are missing all the teeth, the appliance would be called full upper or lower dentures. If you only miss some of your teeth, the appliance would be called partial upper or lower dentures. Dentures can create a very natural and satisfying look and feel for patients.
Bridges
A dental bridge is a permanent solution for replacing a missing tooth by anchoring to the teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges can be crafted from durable metals like stainless steel or gold, or designed to match your natural tooth colour with materials like porcelain or zirconia.
A dental implant is a metal post placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. Once healed (about three months), a custom crown is attached to match the shape and colour of surrounding teeth, creating a natural look and durable function. Implants have a high success rate and can last decades with proper care.
Sports guards
Custom-made sports guards protect teeth from impact and injury during sports. They are recommended for any sport in which teeth may be impacted. Sports guards help decrease certain types of concussions since they prevent teeth from hitting against each other forcefully, which has been known to cause a ripple effect in the brain.
Night Grinding Guard
Many people grind or clench their teeth at night. The result is teeth that become worn down from the force of the grinding and jaw joints that become painful from the clenching pressure. Professional guards can be made to prevent tooth wear and protect the jaw joint.
Snore guards
New technology has created an oral appliance that effectively reduces snoring at night. The appliance shifts the jaw and breathing pathways just enough to improve airflow and decrease snoring. Many insurance companies pay for these devices. We can send an estimate to your insurance to see if you are approved.
Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually reposition teeth based on a structured digital treatment plan. Each aligner applies controlled pressure to move teeth over time and is removable, allowing patients to maintain normal eating and oral hygiene routines during treatment.
