Restorative Dentistry
A dental filling is used to fill a cavity (a hole that has formed in your teeth) or other damage such as a chipped tooth. Cavities can get bigger over time, so the sooner they’re spotted and filled, the less likely you are to have problems later. That’s why regular check-ups are important.
General Dentistry
You will be in good hands with us for your routine dental check up with all necessary X-rays and an ultrasonic scaling (cleaning) if you require.
Good oral health is vital for everyone’s general health and well-being. Poor oral health and pain in the mouth can have a significant impact on the whole body and the quality of life.
Dental Care
Baby teeth are important and need proper care. These teeth help your child to eat and speak properly. Healthy teeth look good and are important for self confidence. They also help retain space for the eruption of permanent teeth, which helps prevent crowding.

Dentures (Full Dentures, Partial Dentures, VALPLAST)
Dentures are the removable options to replace missing teeth. When you wear dentures it supports the structures around your cheeks and lips. Dentures also restore your chewing abilities and make it possible for you to maintain a healthy diet. Not only that, but dentures can also replace your natural teeth that are causing you pain or other oral health concerns.
Getting a partial denture is a much less invasive procedure. Typically costs a lot less than having to replace a tooth.
If additional teeth are needed in the future, they are relatively easy to add.
Improves the overall comfort when chewing, eating, and speaking.
Easy to adapt to compared to complete dentures.
Can prevent any remaining teeth from shifting into gaps.
Inlays, overlays, veneers
If a standard filling isn’t suitable, your dentist may recommend an inlay or overlay (sometimes called onlays, too). They are more suitable for larger chewing surfaces, such as your back teeth. Inlays fit into the hole in your tooth, while overlays build up the shape of the tooth. Dental veneers can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile. Patients with cracks, chips, gaps, discoloration, worn teeth, or mild tooth misalignment can all benefit from dental veneers. They can be made from metal, composite or porcelain.
Crown
A dental crown completely encircles a tooth from the gum line up. If your tooth is damaged, decayed, fractured or if you need a cosmetic makeover this type of restoration can transform your smile. There are three types of dental crowns, including all-metal crowns, all-ceramic crowns, and porcelain- fused -to- metal crowns. Using a digital scanner, we will then create a precise model of the tooth and its neighbouring teeth. This scan will be sent to a dental laboratory so the crown can be fabricated. Occasionally impressions are taken prior crown fabrication.
Implant Restorations
When you lose one or several teeth your facial structure can become compromised, and your jawbone can deteriorate. Dental implants can help not only prevent this, but they will also function exactly like your natural teeth. Tooth implants are small titanium posts that fuse with your jawbone. Then, the doctor will place crowns on top of the posts so they will act like your natural teeth. Tooth implants can also range from a single tooth where there is an implant of one post and one crown to several teeth where there are ‘bridges’ that have two posts with a bridge of multiple missing teeth. Lastly, there are replacements for all teeth which are known as a full bridge or implant supported dentures.
Root canal treatment
Patients typically need a root canal treatment when there is inflammation or infection in the roots of a tooth. During root canal treatment, a general dentist or an endodontist who specializes in such treatment carefully removes the pulp inside the tooth, cleans, disinfects and shapes the root canals, and places a filling to seal the space.
Bridge
A fixed bridge is a dental prosthetic that is worn to replace missing teeth. It is used when a patient still has some of their natural teeth. The bridge anchors itself to the surrounding teeth, also known as the abutment teeth. The bridge is attached to the abutment teeth on either side of the missing teeth. A pontic is an artificial tooth that fills in the space created by the missing tooth. In other words, the pontic “bridges” the gap. Fixed bridges will provide you with natural-looking results and will restore your daily functioning.
