Conscious Sedation

Sedation dentistry allows you to be sedated just enough to be pain free and unaware of the treatment, as if you were relaxing. That is why it is normally referred to as conscious sedation dentistry. So if you have sensitive teeth, a fear of dentists, have a bad gag reflex, hate needles, or have limited time to spend on dental care at the dentist, sedation during dentistry procedures can help you. Since you are completely comfortable, relaxed, and pain free we can do years of dental treatments in one or two dental visits.

TMJ Treatment

The TemporoMandibular Joint (TMJ) is the joint where the mandible (the lower jaw) joins the temporal bone of the skull, immediately in front of the ear on each side of your head. A small disc of cartilage separates the bones, much like in the knee joint. This disc allows the mandible to slide easily. Every time you chew, talk, yawn, or even swallow, the mandible moves. It is, therefore, one of the most frequently used of all joints of the body and one of the most complex.

Over 10 million people suffer from TMJ or TMD. It can be as minor as slight clicking or popping sensations when the mouth is opened and closed, or as serious as persistent pain extending into the face, neck and shoulders affecting posture and even mobility. A careful and thorough dental and medical evaluation is essential to arrive at an accurate diagnosis, because other types of pain have been shown to mimic TMD. We can assist you with a treatment of this debilitating disorder.

Stain removal/Cleaning

The regular removal of stain, plaque and tartar is absolutely essential to the long term health of teeth and gums. This service is provided by the dental hygienist.

Bleaching

Bleaching very effective technique for lightening teeth. It will not, however, alter the appearance of existing fillings and crowns.

Micro abrasion

This can be used to remove blemishes on the surface of the teeth, provided they are not too deep.

Aesthetic contouring/Bonding

This technique can be used to alter the shape of worn or chipped teeth - providing the damage is not too great. Composite materials are used to mask defects and close spaces. The results are instant, but be prepared to replace these restorations more frequently. Better long-term alternatives involve veneers or crowns.

Inlays

When the cavity is large, an inlay is needed for strength. These restorations a fabricated by a dental lab and usually require a second appointment at the office for insertion.

Veneers

These are thin porcelain surfaces which are bonded over the front tooth surface. Only minimal tooth reduction is needed. Veneers can be used to correct ageing smile lines, close spaces and change the colour of teeth.

Crowns ("Cap")

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.

Bridges

Bridges are restorations designed to replace missing teeth. It involves reducing the size of the adjacent teeth which act as supports. There is a limit to the length which can be bridged and there needs to be a tooth support at each end for long term success.

Snoring Appliances

Many people have sleeping problems related to snoring. Often this can be corrected by having the proper dental prosthesis in place.

Dentures

These can be full (whole arch or whole mouth) or partial ( replacing one or several teeth). All dentures are removable and have a tendency to move. To achieve stability, partial dentures need to be clasped to the natural teeth. Both partial and complete dentures can be made to appear quite natural using the latest artificial teeth and acrylics.

Implants

This type of tooth replacement involves the placing of a titanium root within the bone. This artificial root is allowed to integrate into the bone for 4-6 months before a crown 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%.
