DENTAL IMPLANTS

If you have missing teeth due to decay, root canal failure, trauma, wear and tear or gum disease, the gaps are easy to fix with dental implants.

It’s a simple process, which includes insertion of a metal implant (usually titanium) where the tooth root would sit. An artificial tooth is then screwed on to the metal rod so you have the look and function of a real tooth.

Implants are an ideal and permanent solution to missing teeth, and more and more, they are the preferred option.

If you have missing teeth, ask our dentists if you are a candidate for a dental implant.

VENEERS

If you have teeth that are chipped, stained, crooked or irregular, you can easily improve the look of your smile with veneers. Durable and natural-looking, porcelain veneers are customized to it over the front of your teeth and match the colour and shape to correct any imperfections.

The process is simple: the dentist makes a mold of the teeth and then at your next visit, the teeth are prepared and the veneers are placed. With proper care, they will maintain their look and keep your smile looking beautiful.

If you’d like to know more about veneers, contact us for an appointment to discuss.

CROWNS AND BRIDGES

A crown sits over the tooth to protect, cover and seal it so you can save the natural tooth instead of having it extracted. You might consider a crown when you have a large filling that is breaking down or decaying, or if a tooth is cracked, sensitive, worn or weak, or if the tooth has had a root canal.

A bridge is an option when you have one or more missing teeth, to help maintain the look and function of your natural teeth. A bridge is often made of porcelain artificial teeth that are bonded to surrounding teeth.

If you think that a crown or bridge could be solutions for you, make an appointment to discuss the options. Don’t forget to check other services we offer.
