Dental Crown

Crowns

Crowns, are custom-made coverings that encase and protect damaged, weakened, or discoloured teeth. They restore the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance, providing durability and support while enhancing overall dental function. Crowns are commonly used to strengthen a tooth after a root canal, cover dental implants, or improve the aesthetics of a smile.

Bridges

Dental bridges are custom-made prosthetics used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants, filling the gap and restoring the functionality and appearance of a complete smile. Bridges offer a fixed solution, improving chewing ability, speech, and maintaining the proper alignment of surrounding teeth.

Implants

Dental implants are permanent and durable replacements for missing teeth. These titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone to support artificial teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Mimicking the natural tooth root, implants offer stability, strength, and long-term oral health benefits, restoring both the aesthetics and functionality of a complete smile.

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorative treatments used to repair damaged or decayed teeth. Inlays fit inside the cusp tips of the tooth, while onlays cover a larger area, including one or more cusps. Crafted from various materials such as porcelain, gold, zirconia,  or composite resin, these indirect fillings offer a precise and durable solution to strengthen the tooth, preserving its natural structure while providing a seamless and long-lasting restoration.

Endodontic

Endodontics, commonly referred to as root canal treatment, aims to alleviate pain, resolve infections, and preserve natural teeth by removing damaged tissue, disinfecting the root canal, and sealing it to prevent further infection. This specialized care helps to save teeth and restore oral health, promoting comfort and preserving natural smiles.

Partial Dentures and Denture Repairs

Partial dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace one or several missing teeth. They're custom-made to fit comfortably in the mouth, attaching to remaining natural teeth or dental implants. Denture repairs involve restoring damaged or broken dentures to maintain functionality and comfort. Our dental services include crafting personalized partial dentures for a seamless smile and offering reliable, timely repairs to ensure ongoing comfort and functionality.

Preventive Treatment

Preventive dental treatments focus on maintaining optimal oral health by stopping potential issues before they start. Regular check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants are essential components of preventive care. These procedures help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems, ensuring a healthy, confident smile. Emphasizing proactive oral hygiene, our preventive treatments aim to preserve your natural teeth and promote long-term oral wellness.

Sealants

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars) to prevent cavities. These clear or tooth-coloured sealants act as a barrier, filling in the grooves and pits of the teeth where bacteria and food particles commonly accumulate. By sealing these vulnerable areas, dental sealants help to protect against decay and maintain optimal oral health, particularly in children and young adults.

Our dental services offer comprehensive solutions to identify and manage the underlying causes of halitosis, which may include poor oral hygiene, gum disease, dry mouth, or certain medical conditions. Through personalized treatment plans, including professional cleanings, oral hygiene education, and addressing potential oral health issues, we aim to restore fresh breath and improve overall oral wellness for our patients.

Bite Adjustments

Occlusal adjustments are precision modifications made to the biting surfaces of teeth to improve the overall bite and jaw alignment. This procedure involves carefully reshaping specific areas of the teeth to create a more balanced and harmonious bite. By correcting irregularities in the bite, occlusal adjustments aim to alleviate discomfort, reduce excessive wear on teeth, and promote a more stable and comfortable dental function.​

Oral Surgery (simple and complicated extractions)

Tooth extraction may be necessary for various reasons, including severe decay, infection, overcrowding, or impacted wisdom teeth. Our office offers both simple and surgical extractions, depending on the complexity of the case. Simple extractions are performed on visible teeth using local anesthesia, while surgical extractions are needed for impacted or broken teeth and may involve a small incision. Our team prioritizes patient comfort, using advanced techniques to ensure a smooth, pain-free experience.

Orthodontics (space maintainers)

A holding arch is a specialized dental appliance used in children who have lost primary (baby) teeth prematurely due to extraction or other factors. Its purpose is to maintain the space needed for permanent teeth to emerge correctly, preventing crowding and misalignment. By keeping the surrounding teeth from shifting, a holding arch supports proper jaw development and reduces the need for future orthodontic treatment.

It enhances patient comfort by reducing bleeding, minimizing pain, and promoting faster healing compared to traditional surgical methods.
