Dental Exam & X-rays

A dental exam is a very important step for your dentist to determine the health of your teeth, gums and mouth. The dentist will gently examine your mouth and explore the condition of your teeth and gums and will guide you through the process step by step. Dental X-rays are extremely important for the dentist to understand the problem that you are facing with your teeth. It enables the dentist to get a general overview of your mouth, esp. those hard to reach areas. X-rays allow the dentist to see all of your teeth from the crown to the bottom of the root, check for root fractures, abscesses, jaw fractures, and any hard tissue change in your bone that supports the teeth etc.

Dental Crowns, Veneers & Crowns

Dental crowns are caps placed on top of damaged teeth. Crowns are used to protect, cover and restore the shape of your teeth when fillings don’t solve the problem. Dental crowns can be made out of metals, porcelain, resin and ceramics. They typically don’t require special care over time other than regular good oral hygiene.

Dental Crown- A crown, sometimes known as a dental cap, is a type of dental restoration that completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. Crowns are often needed when a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth. They are typically glued to the tooth using dental cement. Crowns are often used to improve the strength or appearance of teeth

Dental Bridges- A bridge is a fixed dental restoration (a fixed dental prosthesis) used to replace one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth definitively to adjacent teeth or dental implants. Bridges are the traditional way of replacing missing teeth. A dental bridge is a false tooth, fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth. The two crowns holding it in place are attached to teeth on each side of the false tooth.

Veneers- A veneer is a layer of material placed over a tooth. Veneers improve the aesthetics of a smile and/or protect the tooth’s surface from damage. Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-coloured materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their colour, shape, size, or length.

Extraction & Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth at the end of your gums. The medical name for wisdom teeth is the third molars and there are usually four of them. Wisdom teeth usually grow through the gums during the late teens or early twenties. As they grow through, wisdom teeth are often obstructed by the other teeth and the lack of space can emerge at an angle. They may end up in the wrong place or only emerge partially. Wisdom teeth that grow through this way are known as impacted. We offer simple and surgical extractions and wisdom teeth removal with options of oral and IV sedation to make the process comfortable for the patients.

Dental Hygiene and Periodontal Treatments

We believe oral hygiene and regular scale and polish sessions are very important in maintaining oral health and gums. Dental scaling is routinely performed to help patients with gum disease and excessive plaque build-up. If you have healthy gums, the tissue will fit tightly around the tooth and keep plaque out. However, if gum disease begins to form, this tissue will loosen. With gum disease, you’ll begin to develop deeper pockets. These can fill with plaque, worsening your problems and causing symptoms like bad breath.

White Composite Fillings

Composite resins, or tooth-coloured fillings, provide good durability and resistance to fracture in small- to mid-size fillings that need to withstand moderate pressure from the constant stress of chewing. They can be used on either front or back teeth. They are a good choice for people who prefer that their fillings look more natural.
