This is the removal of plaque and tartar (stone build up) above and below the gum line. This is done in order to reduce the levels of bacteria that live in and around the pockets. If left untreated you can expect to have sore, bleeding gums that can slowly lead to bone loss attachment and eventually loose teeth. There are also many studies that link gum disease to heart disease, diabetes, lung disease and low birth weight in pregnant ladies. Keeping your mouth healthy not only helps with oral health but improves overall general health.

A wisdom tooth is an adult third molar that erupts into the mouth between the ages 18-25. These teeth may need to be removed if there is not enough space or if they are growing on an angle that could cause future problems.

Cosmetic dentistry means treating your teeth and creating a natural looking smile. This is achieved by using materials that are tooth like such as composite resin and porcelain to replace missing tooth structure. Restorations like veneers and crowns can not only replace the missing tooth structure that was damaged by decay but they can change the shape, colour, size, and position of the tooth. Bonding Dental bonding is a dental procedure in which a dentist applies a tooth-colored resin material (a durable plastic material) and cures it with visible, blue light. This ultimately "bonds" the material to the tooth and improves the…

It’s an easy way using custom fit clear Aligners to move teeth. They are comfortable, transparent aligners worn all day except when eating and brushing.

A crown or cap would be recommended if a tooth is badly broken down by decay and a conventional restoration would not be suitable. Also if a tooth has a root canal then your dentist would advise you to get a crown in order to avoid fracture of the brittle tooth underneath. The crown covers the tooth entirely to restore it to a natural form and appearance and protects it from biting pressure. (like a cast for a tooth). A crown can change the shape and colour of a tooth if badly damaged. A bridge is a fixed solution to replace one…

Implants are referred to the “artificial root” that support the restoration that resembles natural teeth. Implants are small Titanium posts that are placed into healthy jaw bone. During the first 2-6 months of healing the bone grows around the Titanium post. Once successfully completed and integrated the implant becomes part of the jaw bone and a crown can be placed on top for function and esthetics. Implants have approximately a 95% success rate providing no contraindications. Implants are not at risk of dental caries but can fail due to periodontal disease and for this reason it is important to have…

A root canal procedure is performed in order to save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted. There are many reasons why a tooth would need to be extracted. Major trauma is one and the other is a cavity left untreated that has infected the nerve and cause irreversible damage. If left untreated there is risk of severe pain, swelling, bone damage and tooth loss. By doing a root canal the infection is drained from the core of the tooth and a filing is placed to prevent further infection. Once a root canal is complete a crown or cap…

For those patients who are anxious about dental treatment we can offer laughing gas that calms you down but that does not put you to sleep. This gas is inhaled, works quickly and has very little side effects other than the calming effect it is meant for. It can be used with both adults and children and allows your dental visit to be more pleasant. The nice thing about this gas is that the effect only lasts while the gas is on afterwards you may continue your daily routine without any down time.

Lasers are used to help treat conditions of the tissue that would otherwise need to be treated with a scalpel. They are used today to treat ulcers (cancer sores), remove fibrotic tissue, treat enlarged blood vessels and treat gum disease. Lasers allow us to work sometimes without anesthetic (freezing) and heals faster. Laser can also be used along with professional cleaning in order to reduce the numbers of bacteria in the periodontal pocket. Ask the staff if you could benefit from such treatment.

X-rays help us diagnose cavities and periodontal health. Digital X-rays are small sensors (like a digital camera) that fit inside the mouth. The dose of radiation is much less than conventional X-rays which can be a concern for some patients. We are able to project the image onto the screen and able to see very small changes in hard tissue that can be treated early and with less invasive measures.
