The Benefits of General Dentistry
We highly recommend our clients to make general dentistry visits because of benefits such as:
-
Prevention: Routine checkups enable us to catch the early signs of dental diseases, preventing them from becoming more extensive and costlier to treat.
-
Health monitoring: Our dentists can even detect signs of more serious health issues such as oral cancer.
-
Healthier teeth: Routine dental examinations and cleaning help remove plaque and tartar buildup.
-
Brighter smile: General dentistry services also keep your smile looking its best.
Toothaches
Toothaches are painful sensations that indicate something is wrong with your tooth or gums.
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
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 setand don’t require any freezing.
Root Canals
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. With proper care, a high-quality crown can last for decades, making it a valuable investment in preserving your natural tooth.
Extractions
An extraction is the removal of a tooth from the socket in the jaw bone. The most common reasons for extractions are decay, periodontal disease, fractures, trauma, and pain/infection associated with wisdom teeth.
Dentures
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. With proper care, a well-maintained bridge can last for decades, making it a reliable and worthwhile investment. Regular cleaning beneath the bridge is essential to keep it strong and maintain oral health.
Implants
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. The implant root is typically placed by a specialist, while the crown is completed at our office. Temporary options, like a partial denture ("flipper"), are available during the healing process to maintain your smile.
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. New research also supports that 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. Your custom sports guard can be made in the office about one week after your molds are taken.
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 teeth wear and protect the jaw joint. Due to fit, strength, and design, professional guards are preferred over the drugstore versions of night guards. Most insurance companies cover these guards, and we are happy to send an estimate to your insurance company to see if it is approved.
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.
