Dental Checkups & Hygiene

Plaque is continually developing on the teeth, brushing and flossing disturb the growth of plaque rather than remove it.  If plaque accumulates it can harden into tartar and once that happens you can no longer remove it.

Oral Cancer Screening

We do everything we can to help maintain the health of your smile and prevent diseases that may effect your oral health, including screening for oral cancer. Oral cancer screenings are integral in ensuring lifelong oral health.

Dental Fillings

Cavities are one of the most prevalent conditions in general dentistry and can lead to more serious issues. We offer white composite dental fillings that can be matched to the shade of your natural teeth. These composite fillings actually bond to your tooth structure, unlike silver amalgam fillings. 

Gum Grafting

If you have receding gums, treatment to avoid tooth loss may be necessary. This may include gum grafts. Gum grafting is a simple oral surgery in which your dentist will get tissue from a tissue bank or remove healthy gum tissue from the roof of your mouth and use it to build the gum back up.

Inlays & Onlays

Dental inlays are used to replace old fillings or fill large cavities in the grooves, pits, and fissures of a tooth’s biting surface. Unlike traditional fillings, both inlays and onlays consist of a single, solid piece of porcelain that is fabricated in a dental lab. 

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a natural-looking cap that is placed over a damaged, decayed, chipped or broken tooth. Dental crowns are used to strengthen teeth with large fillings or root canals, repair broken teeth, or to improve a tooth’s cosmetic appearance. 

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are comprised of false teeth and anchors to fasten the bridge in place. These bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth to restore the fullness to your smile. The goal is to maintain the proper functionality of your teeth so you can bite and chew just like before.

Dental Implants

If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants may be a solution for you to have a full smile with full function again. Dental implants look and feel like real teeth. Our dentists will do an exam and take x-rays to determine if you are a candidate for dental implants.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Wisdom teeth grow in the back of the mouth, and often become impacted meaning there is not enough room to emerge or develop normally. Since the growth of wisdom teeth can cause pain and other complications, wisdom teeth extraction is very common.

Root Canal Treatment

A trauma to your tooth can lead to the soft tissue inside becoming infected leading to sensitivity and throbbing pain. During root canal treatment, your dentist will remove the pulp inside the tooth, clean and disinfect, shape the root canals, and seal the space.

Care for Sensitive teeth

When the layer of your tooth under the hard enamel (known as dentin) is exposed, it causes sensitivity.  Its degree depends on the person and ranges from mild to extreme and is noticeable when eating or drinking.

Periodontal Disease Treatment

When plaque builds up, it can cause inflammation and swelling which could lead to periodontal disease. This can cause damaging effects like gum recession and tooth loss if left untreated. 

TOOTH bonding

Sometimes teeth get stained or broken which can cause a less-than-perfect looking smile. Bonding is a process in which a tooth-coloured resin is applied directly to the tooth. Unlike veneers which are made in a lab and require custom molds, bonding can be done in one visit.

Dentures

Self conscious about your smile due to missing teeth? Dentures are an affordable alternative to dental implants. If you're missing all of your teeth or just a few, we can fit dentures to help restore chewing function, improve speech, and create a more natural, aesthetically pleasing smile. 

Hygiene Sealants

The surface of your teeth has many grooves and edges which can be hard to get properly clean which makes them susceptible to decay. Hygiene sealants are a clear varnish that is often applied to the molars to prevent tooth decay.

Tmd/Tmj Treatment

TMJ disorder (or TMD) happens when there is a problem with the workings of the muscles and joints that control your jaw. This can be very painful, but luckily there are treatments available that aim to decrease tension in the muscles and relieve pain.

Snoring & Sleep Apnea Screening

Sleep apnea is a disorder caused by pauses in breathing during sleep. One of the most notable symptoms of sleep apnea is fatigue. Untreated, it can cause long-term health problems. Our screening ensures it is caught and treated as soon as possible.
