Dental care for the whole family
Our general dentistry service encompasses a wide range of skills to
provide you and your family with the best possible treatment:
Routine dental cleaning is essential for eliminating plaque and tartar buildup around the gums and between the teeth, which can lead to cavities and gum disease.
Did you know that gum disease is the most common dental condition besides cavities?
If left untreated, tartar can advance to a stage that causes gum detachment and eventually bone loss, leading to the loss of the affected teeth. You may also experience bleeding and gum inflammation. Our general dentists use non-surgical techniques – such as subgingival scaling – or surgical methods to eliminate inflammation, bone loss, and gum detachment. They can also perform gum grafts to cover bare roots or improve the thickness of gums that have receded.
Cavities might be common, but they aren’t harmless. If not treated properly, a cavity can lead to severe complications. Superficial cavities can be detected by an X-ray – but if they get worse, they can cause significant pain, leading to a toothache or abscess if treatment is delayed for too long. Annual check-ups can detect and treat cavities at the earliest stage. A root canal treatment consists of cleaning and disinfecting the pulp cavity, removing any infected nerve debris, then filling and sealing the space.
This is a very common procedure that our general dentists can perform onsite at our clinic.
Using our state-of-the-art equipment, we can view your jaw anatomy in 3D, allowing us to detect anomalies that would otherwise be difficult to see on a panoramic radiograph (used during a preliminary dental examination) or plan the placement of your implants.
No more gagging while we create a mold of your teeth! Digital dental impressions are a quick and comfortable way to capture your teeth in 3D. They allow us to track how teeth evolve over time, while serving as an excellent communication tool that can show the patient what their mouth looks like in real time.
Prosthodontists specialize in restoring or replacing damaged or missing teeth. They will build a treatment plan according to your needs and discuss the options available to you. They can install crowns or bridges, implants, or full removable dentures.
