General Dentistry
General Dentistry deals primarily with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of conditions and diseases of the teeth, gums, mouth and surrounding areas.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry covers a variety of procedures designed to esthetically improve a patient's smile. It includes options to treat teeth that are discolored, chipped, misshapen or missing. Common procedures include bleaching, bonding, crowns, veneers, reshaping and contouring.
Tooth Whitening
Whiter, brighter teeth can often result in a more youthful appearance, which is why tooth whitening is growing in popularity every day. Patients interested in immediate results may select an in-office bleaching program, while others may choose the more economical option of a dentist-supervised, at-home whitening kit that can whiten teeth in two weeks or less.
Denture Fittings
There are two types of dentures: "Partial" dentures, which are removable devices comprised of one or more false teeth, held in place by clasps that fit onto nearby teeth, and "full" dentures, used when all a patient's teeth are missing.
Dental Implants
This type of tooth replacement involves the placing of a titanium root within the jaw bone. This artificial root is allowed to integrate and fuse into the bone for 4-6 months before a crown, implant 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%.
Bonding
Dental bonding is an effective method for repairing chipped, cracked or discolored teeth. Bonding materials are used somewhat like sculptor's clay in that composites can close up minor gaps, correct the appearance of crooked teeth, change the color of teeth and often cover any natural flaws in a patient's smile.
Veneers
These are thin porcelain "tooth fronts" which are bonded onto the tooth. Only minimal tooth reduction is needed. Veneers can be used to correct aging smile lines, close spaces, change the colour of teeth and straighten crooked teeth instantly.
Crowns
These 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. A crown fits over a tooth to protect it the same way a helmet fits over your head to protect it.
Bridges
Bridges are restorations designed to replace missing teeth. It involves crowning the adjacent teeth which act as supports. There is a limit to the space that can be bridged and there needs to be a tooth support at each end for long-term success.
