Your home base for all of your dental needs

Regular dental check ups are foundational to lifetime of dental health. The main goal of these appointments is to check for cavities, to assess the health of your gums, and to clean your teeth. Our favourite part, however, is getting to help educate and encourage our patients to continue their care at home. When you see us for a check-up, expect to be walked through your x-rays, shown photos of your teeth and gums, and get schooled on which products can help support your dental health care needs. Some typical services in our check-ups include

• X rays: We use X rays to gather information about what’s happening below the tooth’s surfaces, to evaluate what’s happening between the teeth, to assess the health of existing fillings, and to rule out abnormalities in the jaw bone. As a bonus, our x-rays are all digital.
• Cleanings: We specialize in modern cleanings using ultrasonic and EMS biotherapy technologies. This is more gentle and effective way to remove calculus and stains compared to traditional dental picks.

We understand that dental emergencies can be terrifying. And when they happen, we are here to help-whether by getting scheduled for immediate care in our practice, or by coordinating with our trusted specialists. Simply put: If you have got a dental issue, we can help get you the solution. Emergency issues we often see include

• Chipped teeth
• Loose crowns
• Toothaches
• Missing fillings
• Root canals
• Broken retainers
• Bleeding or swollen gums

We use the phrase “Cosmetic Dentistry” to generally describe services that improve the appearance of teeth. These services primarily focus on changing the colour, position, size and shape of teeth, and the overall appearance of your smile. Some of our most common cosmetic procedures include

• Veneers: We use veneers to permanently change the shape and colour of your teeth. Our practice specializes in natural-looking veneers which transform your smile in a matter of weeks.
• Professional Teeth whitening: We provide dentist-guided whitening right here in our dental clinic. With this hands-on approach, our dentists can use more concentrated whitening agents compared to over-the-counter products. That means whiter teeth in less time. Additionally, we offer options for custom whitening trays you can use at home. For most patients, the combination of a professional in-office treatment followed up with touch -up whitening sessions at home creates much lighter smiles.
• Cosmetic bonding: We use a tooth-coloured filling material to quickly alter the appearance of your teeth. This is the most conservative way to repair small chips or cracks on, for example, your front teeth.
• White spot treatment: We offer a simple and conservative treatment. These white spots can be removed and filled with tooth colour filling. called

Fillings and crowns are, quite simply, used to restore the form and function of broken or otherwise compromised teeth. These services include;

Dental fillings: We use dental fillings as the ideal treatment for smaller issues affecting teeth, such as small to moderate-sized cavities. In our practice, we only use modern tooth-coloured fillings-not the silver, metal fillings you might have seen in the past.

Crowns and inlays: We choose to use crowns and inlays (also known as partial crowns) to fix teeth when they are more seriously compromised or broken down. Crowns and inlays are more expensive than fillings, but provide more strength to your tooth and, on average, last longer.

Implants are a modern solution for replacing missing teeth, and can be used to replace a single tooth, or several teeth, or all of the teeth. They are predictable and natural looking, and, when properly cared for, can last your entire life. Implants are, hands-down, one of the most rewarding treatments we perform at My dentist.

We use implants to simply, replace missing teeth. Implants are composed of two parts: a titanium component, which replaces tooth root in the jaw bone and a tooth-coloured crown, which is screwed into the titanium component. Implant cases are done all in our clinic start to finish.

If you are looking to straighten your teeth as an adult, there is no treatment more proven than invisible clear aligners teeth straightening system. Clear aligners predictably straighten teeth resulting in functional and beautiful smiles. These services include:

• Clear correct teeth straightening system: We use clear correct clear aligners, which is still considered the gold-standard when it comes to clear aligner treatment, to help straighten teeth. While there are newer products available, there are none as predictable as clear correct clear aligners – this is why we are such big fans of this teeth straightening system.
• Retainers: We use retainers to help keep your teeth in place. Our practice provides clear tray retainers, as well as bonded-wire retainers.

We love seeing children. We are able to provide care for your entire family all under one roof, and we offer specialized services for children under the age of 17. For more complex issues, we work closely with a handpicked group of pediatric specialists who we will help you coordinate with. Our family services include:

• Kids cleanings: We provide cleanings for kids, just like we do for adults. Our kids’ cleanings include x-rays to check on tooth development, and extra encouragement for keeping up good brushing and flossing habits at home.
• Fluoride treatments: We use fluoride applications to deliver extra strength to your child’s developing teeth.
• Sealants: We use sealants as a non-invasive approach to protect against cavities as your child’s adult teeth begin to erupt.
• Referrals to specialists: We have handpicked a group of specialists, including pediatric dentists and orthodontists, to help coordinate more complex care for your child.

For most people, the experience of going to the dentist is, at best, neutral, and at worst, traumatic. We fully recognize that receiving dental care can be incredibly stressful, and we take great pride in being able to accommodate even the most anxious patients. Our anti-anxiety options include:

• Longer appointments: We can offer extra support by extending the length of appointments to build in breaks for rest.
• Anti-anxiety medications: We provide the option to take low dosages of valium prior to dental appointments as a way to lessen the anxiety some patients experience during procedures. This is a modern alternative to the nitrous gas that was used in the past.
