Our General Dentistry services

Composite Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings are used to fill cavities and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both a great appearance and a comfortable feel.

Dental Bonding

Repair damaged teeth by restoring chips and cracks, or enhance the appearance of intact teeth.

Dental Bridges

Renew the gaps in your smile by replacing your missing tooth or teeth with a custom-made dental prosthesis that is permanently bonded in place.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns play a vital role in the field of restorative dentistry, significantly enhancing the strength, aesthetics, and durability of your teeth.

Dental Extractions

Whether you need a routine tooth extraction or a more intricate dental surgical procedure, the process can typically be carried out with minimal pain or discomfort.

Dental Implants

An implant mimics a natural tooth root and is topped with a dental restoration, like a dental crown, to aid in restoring teeth's function, appearance, and a natural sensation.

Dentures

Consider either obtaining new dentures or preserving and refurbishing your existing full or partial dentures. These contemporary dental appliances can efficiently replace multiple or all of your teeth while minimizing any discomfort.

Root Canal

Root canal procedures can be performed meticulously, efficiently, and with minimal discomfort, offering you immediate relief while preserving your natural tooth.

Teeth Cleanings

Routine dental examinations and cleanings are key to avoiding gum disease and tooth decay. Scheduling your cleaning and check-up every 6 to 8 months can help avert sudden dental discomfort and unforeseen costs.

The Importance of Early Intervention and Routine Care

At the core of our approach is the belief that prevention is always better than cure. We genuinely care about your smile and your overall health, which is why our commitment to routine check-ups and early intervention is so strong. By focusing on keeping your teeth, gums, jaw, and tongue in good health today, and promptly addressing any minor issues as they arise, we can prevent them from escalating into major concerns. This strategy not only minimizes discomfort and pain but also helps you avoid unexpected and costly dental procedures, ultimately ensuring that you keep smiling with confidence.

Keep Your Natural Teeth for Longer

Tooth loss in young adults is often caused by cavities, while gum disease is the leading cause in older adults. Maintaining strong oral hygiene habits at home is one of the best ways to keep your mouth healthy, and routine dental exams allow us to catch the early signs of tooth decay and gum disease. By identifying and addressing these issues early, we can help prevent them from progressing into more serious problems.

Save Your Money

Routine cleanings and exams are cost-effective and easy to budget for, making them a smart investment in your long-term oral health. Early treatments, such as composite fillings for minor tooth decay, are also relatively inexpensive and can prevent the need for more complex and costly procedures down the line. Taking care of dental issues early on is not only better for your health but also for your wallet.

Don’t Even Think About It

The best part of maintaining excellent oral health is not having to think about it. With well-cared-for teeth, you won’t be bothered by aches, inflammation, or persistent toothaches. You can enjoy your favourite foods without hesitation and smile confidently without worry. Properly maintained teeth are naturally attractive, dependable, and provide a comfortable, worry-free experience every day.

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

A routine dental check-up consists of a professional teeth cleaning and an examination. Regular cleanings help remove stubborn plaque and tartar that accumulate on your teeth, even with diligent brushing and flossing at home. These visits also allow your dentist and hygienist to keep a close watch on your overall oral health, identifying any problem areas early on so they can be addressed promptly.

Cavities develop when food particles, especially those lodged in hard-to-clean areas, feed the bacteria that naturally reside in our mouths. As these bacteria consume the food, they produce acids that cling to the teeth, gradually wearing down the enamel and creating decay. A diet high in sugary or acidic foods and drinks, like soda or coffee, can further accelerate the cavity-forming process, increasing the risk of tooth damage.

Cavities can occur more frequently in some individuals due to genetic predispositions. For instance, some people are naturally more vulnerable to cavity-causing bacteria, while others may have crowded or misaligned teeth that are harder to clean effectively. Although genetics play a role, maintaining excellent oral hygiene and healthy eating habits at home can significantly reduce the risk of developing cavities, helping to keep your teeth in better condition.

Yes, even if you’re not experiencing any pain, a filling is often necessary to prevent further decay. Fillings are designed to stop cavities from progressing, protecting your tooth from more serious damage and future discomfort. Addressing the issue early, while it’s still manageable, is the best approach, as it prevents more complex and costly dental problems down the line.

Restoring a decaying tooth involves several approaches depending on the stage of the decay. Early-stage tooth decay can often be managed with routine cleanings and fluoride treatments, which help prevent and sometimes reverse the damage. For teeth with minor decay, composite fillings can repair the damage and stop further deterioration. If the decay has progressed to an infection, a root canal can remove the infected tissue and save the tooth. Badly decayed teeth may require a crown, which caps the tooth with a natural-looking and protective cover, or veneers that enhance both appearance and function. In severe cases where the tooth cannot be saved, extraction may be necessary, followed by the placement of an implant or bridge to restore the look and function of your smile.

Yes, it is safe and recommended to visit the dentist during pregnancy for preventive care, including cleanings and exams. These routine visits help keep your mouth healthy and address any dental symptoms that may arise, such as gum sensitivity or swelling. If you experience a dental emergency, such as an infection, necessary treatments like root canals can still be safely performed. However, elective procedures, such as cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening, should be postponed until after pregnancy to ensure the utmost safety for both you and your baby.

As a very anxious and needy patient - I cannot give higher praise to this dental office. Every single staff member I have interacted with has been kind, patient and understanding. They were able to fit me in for an emergency root canal after a fumble at a different dental office in town. I have happily become a regular patient and have been over the moon with the services and care provided. I cannot recommend this team enough, best dentist office in town!
