Cosmetic Dentistry

This is a category of dentistry that concentrates on having your teeth look the best that they can be as well as lasting longer. It may include veneers, composite or ceramic inlays, crowns bridges and tooth coloured fillings.

Porcelain Veneers and Crowns

Veneers are thin porcelain surfaces that are bonded over the front tooth surface. Very little tooth reduction is needed in order to have a veneer. Veneers can be used to restore ageing teeth that are worn down, close spaces and change the colour of teeth or repair chipped teeth.

Crowns are used when a tooth is heavily filled or was previously treated with a root canal treatment. Crowns provide excellent strength to the tooth while improving overall aesthetics. Crowns can be made of porcelain, gold or a combination of both.

Removal of Silver or Mercury Filling

Removal of amalgams or mercury fillings is recommended to upgrade fillings to a nontoxic alternative. Composite or porcelain replacement are bonded to the tooth to add strength and a more appealing appearance.

Dental bonding and contouring

This technique can be used to alter the shape of worn or chipped teeth - providing the damage is not too great. Composite materials are used to reshape defects and close spaces between teeth. The results are performed quickly, but the patient should be prepared to replace these restorations more frequently. Better long-term alternatives involve veneers or crowns.

Neuromuscular Dentistry and Rehabilitation of Bite

Neuromuscular dentistry treats the muscles of the face and jaws by correcting the bite. By realigning the jaws, tension is released and relieves symptoms such as head aches, jaw pain, neck and shoulder pain, tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, and clicking or popping sounds in the jaw joint may disappear or reduce considerably.

Tooth Whitening/Bleaching

Bleaching is a very effective technique for lightening teeth. It will not, however, alter the appearance of existing fillings and crowns. This is done with custom fitted trays and take home bleach kits.

Zoom Whitening

Whitening is a very effective technique for lightening teeth. In office bleaching under a UVA light to activate bleaching. Ideal for people with more sensitivity because of isolation of teeth under a controlled environment.

Crowns, Inlays, Onlays, Bridges

When the cavity is large, an inlay may be needed for strength. These restorations are fabricated by a dental lab and usually require two or more appointments at the office for insertion. Inlays can be made out of different material most often porcelain or gold.

Bridges are restorations designed to replace missing teeth. It involves reducing the size of the teeth next to the space that act as supports. There is a limit to the length which can be bridged and there needs to be a tooth support at each end for long term success.

Crowns are used when a tooth is heavily filled or was previously treated with a root canal treatment. Crowns provide excellent strength to the tooth while improving overall aesthetics. Crowns can be made of porcelain, gold or a combination of both.

Implants

This type of tooth replacement involves the placing of a titanium root within the bone. This artificial root is allowed to integrate into the bone for 4-6 months before a crown or bridge is attached to it. During the healing phase, a temporary denture restores your smile. The success rate for implants can be as high as 95%.

Root Canal Treatment

There is often damage to the nerves and soft tissues inside your teeth requiring the need to have a root canal performed. Essentially this is the process of removing this soft tissue from inside the teeth to end pain, sensitivity or recurring infection.

Preventive Hygiene

Going to the dental office for regular checkups will be one of the most effective ways to keep your teeth and gums healthy. By a close examination and cleaning your dental professional will be able to detect early signs of tooth decay or damage to the gums.

Stain removal/Cleaning

The regular removal of stain, plaque and tartar is absolutely essential to the long-term look and health of teeth and gums. The dental hygienist provides this service.

Sealants

Sealants are an excellent way to reduce the incidence of cavities in a young persons mouth. A sealant is simply a very thin layer of material that is bonded to the biting surface of the back teeth creating a barrier that protects the teeth from getting cavities.

Grinding and clenching appliances

Bruxing is the unintentional grinding together of your teeth. Most people do not even know that they are doing it because they are sleeping or concentrating on some activity. There needs to be therapy to keep the teeth from being damaged by the constant grinding.

Sports Guards and PPM – Pure Power Mouthguards

Sports Guards are a must for protecting teeth from having teeth damaged by sports activities. A custom fitted sports mouth guard reduces the number of sports injuries to the teeth.

Pure Power Mouthguard or PPM is an athletic mouthguard that can return your jaw to its ideal alignment, thereby releasing residual muscular tension, and access your ultimate physical potential. Benefits of a PPM include better agility, strength, balance, and endurance. We are an authorized PPM provider. PPM is only available through a certified dentist.

Orthodontics

Teeth that need to be straightened to create a more beautiful smile or teeth that need to be moved so that a patient can chew properly can be done through orthodontic treatments. Some treatments are more extensive and require a long-term commitment or will require surgery.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

When a wisdom tooth does not develop properly it may not come up through the gum or it may only come through part way. In both cases it is better for long-term results to have the wisdom teeth removed to avoid future health problems.

Dentures and implant supported dentures

These can be full (whole arch or whole mouth) or partial (replacing one or several teeth). All dentures are removable and have a tendency to move. To achieve stability, partial dentures need clasps (or hooks) to help the partial hang on to the natural teeth. Both partial and complete dentures can be made to appear quite natural using the latest artificial teeth and acrylics.
