Dental Fillings

Root Canal
Hold on to that natural tooth for longer!
Teeth decay, break, and crack. When this happens, a root canal might be the best course of action. Root canal therapy salvages the natural tooth rather than replacing it with a dental implant. The tooth will appear the same way it did before the procedure and may last forever without another treatment.
Key Benefits:
- Keep your natural smile and avoid dental implants
- Short treatment process
- Whiter smile
- Maintain normal biting sensation
Scaling and Root Planing
Gum disease is one of the most frequent issues people deal with when trying to maintain a healthy mouth and a healthy body. Gum disease is the result of bacteria buildup beneath the gum line and can usually be treated with regular checkups, cleanings, brushing, and flossing. However, if gum disease is not treated properly and promptly, more severe periodontal disease may occur. Professional scaling and root planing can reduce the unhealthy bacteria and ensure your healthy smile lasts a lifetime.
Scaling and root planing effectively clean the teeth below the gum line, eliminating harmful bacteria and reducing risk of gum disease. A specialized dental instrument, known as a scaler, removes built up tartar and plaque below the gum line. This process simultaneously smooths the tooth root and allows a quick and proper healing of the gums. Local anesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort.

Sleep Apnea Treatment
Do you suffer from severe snoring or have difficulty breathing at night? If so, you may have sleep apnea. A partially obstructed airway during sleep can result in loud and constant snoring and may affect those around you. In some cases, the interruption of regular breathing patterns and possible stoppage of breathing, is commonly referred to as obstructive sleep apnea. These issues can be hazardous to your health but your dentist can help.
Your dentist can provide you with a range of solutions to reduce or correct sleep apnea. In order to get an understanding of your condition an initial consultation is necessary. After a review of your oral needs your dentist will provide a treatment plan specifically tailored to you. One of the most common and highly effective treatments is a custom made mouth guard to maintain proper jaw position during sleep, increasing airflow and resulting in a more restful sleep with less interruption.
Digital X-Rays
Our offices use digital X-rays to quickly and accurately examine teeth. Digital x-rays are sent directly to your dentist’s computer and facilitate immediate review of images compared to traditional dental x-rays. Digital x-rays result in quicker appointments and get you the help you need, faster. Digital dental x-rays can expose oral issues such as:
- Incorrect tooth and root positioning
- Incorrect oral structure development
- Bone structure loss
- Abscesses and cysts
- Decay between teeth, inside teeth, and below gum line
The use of dental x-rays can identify oral issues in their early stages and can help you keep your smile healthy.
Gum Disease
Taking care of your gums is an essential part of your oral hygiene. Gum care starts at home, with a daily hygiene routine that includes flossing to clean below the gumline. Your dentist and hygienist will monitor the health of your gums and can recommend the best gum disease treatment options if they detect signs of inflammation or periodontal (gum) disease.
Gum disease is a progressive disease that breaks down the gum tissue and bone surrounding your teeth. It is caused by bacteria in plaque and dental calculus. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and contribute to other systemic health problems, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and dementia.
According to the Canadian Dental Association, 7 in 10 adults will experience gum disease in their lifetime. The good news is gum disease is preventable and can be reversed if it’s caught early enough.
