With each visit, our dental hygienist thoroughly and gently cleans your teeth and gums. We can take X-rays (or radiographs) and photos to keep tabs on any trouble spots. Regular cleanings are the best way to keep you smiling wider. Periodontal (gum) diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis, are serious infections that, left untreated, can lead to tooth loss.

Some common misconceptions about oral health are:

• Bleeding gums are not that big of a deal
• You don't need to floss every day
• A tooth lost to gum disease is a tooth lost forever

A Natural looking smile.

For years, dentists around the world filled cavities with amalgam fillings made of elemental mercury, silver, tin, copper and possibly other heavy metallic elements. While the toxicity effects of these fillings are still being debated, we have decided to use only tooth-coloured, composite fillings to remedy cavities.

For more information, please contact us.

Composite fillings yield a much more attractive and healthier smile with no obvious sign of dental work. We match the filling material to your tooth colour and then bond it securely for a highly durable and great looking way to protect your tooth.

In addition to looking better, these modern, tooth-colored fillings offer practical advantages over metal fillings, such as less removal of the tooth structure, a tighter seal formed between the filling and the tooth, and they can be repaired or added onto as needed.

Amalgam fillings aren’t just unsightly—they also cause further damage to the rest of the tooth and can increase the risk of future fractures.

We replace problematic amalgam fillings with composite alternatives, which have several advantages:

• more realistic colour
• preserve more of the original tooth
• tighter bond between the filling and tooth easily repaired if necessary

Root canal treatment is the removal of the tooth's pulp, a small, thread-like tissue in the center of the tooth. Once the damaged, diseased or dead pulp is removed, the remaining space is cleaned, shaped and filled. This procedure seals off the root canal. Years ago, teeth with diseased or injured pulps were removed. Today, root canal treatment saves many teeth that would otherwise be lost.

Teaching your child proper oral care at a young age is an investment in his or her health that will pay lifelong dividends. You can start by setting an example; taking good care of your own teeth sends a message that oral health is something to be valued. And anything that makes taking care of teeth fun, like brushing along with your child or letting them choose their own toothbrush, encourages proper oral care.
