Initial Oral Examination
During your initial oral examination, we will do a visual examination, charting, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations. We might also take x-rays to make sure that we diagnose your condition properly. A panoramic x-ray may be requested to get a proper diagnosis of your front and back teeth and is often the only way we can assess wisdom teeth. Further treatments will be discussed after the initial oral examination.
Crowns and Bridges
If you have a damaged or misshaped tooth and want to restore its function and appearance, having a crown or bridge is for you. These are synthetic caps, usually made of materials like porcelain, and placed on top of a damaged, misshaped or root canal treated teeth.
Implants
For patients suffering from missing teeth, implants are one of the best options. Like crowns and bridges, they are synthetic structures placed in an area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. They are anchored to the jawbone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge.
Veneers
Veneers are often used to restore the beauty of your smile. These thin pieces of porcelain cemented over the front of your teeth can change their colour or shape. These are often used on teeth that are discoloured, oddly shaped, crooked, damaged, or chipped.
Teeth Whitening
If you’re looking for a treatment that can restore your stained, dull, or discoloured teeth, teeth whitening might be your best option. The dentin or the darker tissue of your teeth can become exposed as the other layer of enamel is worn away; teeth whitening treatment can reduce the cosmetic effects of this.
