Gentle Care

Dental bridges are an option to replace a missing tooth. It is essentially an artificial tooth that is fused between two crowns and attached onto adjacent teeth.

Crowns are caps that are custom made to fit over the top of a damaged, misshapen, or badly stained tooth. They are reliable and strong and will help preserve your teeth for many years to come.

Dentures can fill in gaps in the smile caused by missing teeth. Dentures are custom designed to the contours of a patient's bite. Generally made from a combination of resin and metal, dentures are attached by discreet metal clasps or tooth-colored, precision attachments. Dentures restore a patient's ability to chew comfortably, protect surrounding teeth from shifting or damage, and help maintain normal facial contours in the lips and cheeks. Dentures can be made to replace a single tooth, several missing teeth, or even a full set of teeth.

In only the most extreme and necessary cases, such as when a tooth is severely damaged beyond repair, we may extract a tooth in preparation for a restorative dentistry procedure, such as dentures, bridges and implants.

One of the best options currently to replace missing teeth. An implant is similar in function and looks to an actual tooth since it duplicates the original tooth and its root.

Inlays and onlays can help restore a decayed tooth that would otherwise require an extensive filling. Inlays and onlays are usually made from ceramic, gold alloy, or composite resin. To make it fit perfectly into a natural tooth, an impression of the decayed tooth is taken the inlay/onlay is then custom made in a dental laboratory. Inlays and onlays are suitable for different needs.

Excessive clenching, grinding, or poor bite alignment can strain your jaw joints or injure your teeth, causing discomfort and often, severe pain. Dizziness, ear pain, head and neck pain, chewing difficulties, muscle soreness, and even throat pain may surface as the condition worsens. To correct such problems, we offer a variety of bite appliances, including nightguards. When worn, nightguards prevent teeth from touching one another, ultimately relaxing the jaw muscles and alleviating pain.

Veneers are a thin shell of semi-translucent porcelain that bonds to the front surface of your teeth. If your teeth are chipped, broken, or discoloured, porcelain veneers are a great way to change the colour and shape of your teeth.

If you want to prevent or minimise common problems such as bad breath, tooth decay and periodontal disease, you are going to need preventative dental services on a regular basis.
 
It is recommended to have your teeth checked and cleaned every 6 months which will help by:
Removal of plaque: Plaque is a sticky, invisible film that forms on the teeth. It is a colony of bacteria, food particles, and saliva. These can cause gums to swell up and bleed, which is the early stage of gum disease.

Removal of calculus (tartar): Calculus is hardened plaque that has been left on the tooth for some time and is now firmly attached to the tooth surface. Calculus forms above and below the gum line and can only be removed with special dental instruments. Calculus accumulated on teeth can be the trigger for gum disease.

Removal of stains: Using a polishing cup and paste, this helps to remove stains that can often not be removed by tooth brushing alone.

Possibly the most misunderstood of all dental procedures, having a root canal therapy is actually an extremely safe and relatively pain-free process. Each of your teeth contains a long, thin strand of pulp that extends down into the root of the tooth. When this pulp becomes inflamed or infected, the result is often searing tooth pain. A root canal therapy restores health to the tooth by removing the affected pulp. The canal is then filled, and the tooth is permanently sealed with a filling and/or crown. This procedure allows you to preserve your natural tooth, which, whenever possible, is ideal.
