Teeth are remarkably strong, but they can chip or break. A broken or chipped tooth can be the result of biting down on something hard, a traumatic event, teeth grinding (bruxism) or cavities that have not been treated early enough, resulting in a weakened tooth. If you chip or break a tooth, we should examine you right away to correct the problem before it becomes an even bigger issue.
If you suffer from dental anxiety, we can help alleviate any fears you may have about visiting the dentist. We’ll begin by thoroughly explaining your treatment, and we also use calm music and have televisions in each treatment room to help patients relax. Safe sedation dentistry options can also be used to help patients relax if required.
A toothache is caused by tooth problems such as a cavity, cracked tooth or gum disease. A thorough exam can help determine the source of the toothache and allow us to suggest the appropriate treatment.
If you are looking to brighten up your smile, we offer a variety of whitening procedures. If teeth whitening doesn’t work for you, another option is to have us make porcelain veneers. These veneers will allow us to craft you a super-white and brilliant smile.
Signs of a dental infection can include bleeding gums that are puffy or red, a foul odour in the mouth, or tenderness and pain. Visit us upon the first sight of an infection so we can act proactively and treat the problem.
Have you ever felt like your bite is a little off-center? Maybe you have no pain or trouble chewing, but your teeth could be wearing unevenly and at an accelerated rate. This is what we call a malocclusion. If we diagnose an uneven bite, we will consult with you on all your corrective options.
Tooth decay occurs when the bacteria normally present in the mouth changes food into acids and forms plaque. The acids in the plague begin to weaken and dissolve the enamel and eat holes in the teeth. Left untreated, tooth decay can result in root canals and even the loss of the tooth. Make sure to visit us regularly so we can screen for tooth decay and resolve the issue.
A missing tooth can cause embarrassment and force you to hide your smile. We offer dental implants or dentures to replace your smile. Implants function like teeth, and should be flossed and brushed just like your natural teeth.
Do your teeth hurt when they encounter hot or cold temperatures? Tooth sensitivity can make it hard to eat. We help address the underlying cause of sensitive teeth to help you get a pain-free smile.
