Check-ups

Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health—think of it like maintaining your car. Skipping regular oil changes and tune-ups can lead to costly repairs down the road. The same applies to your teeth: with routine check-ups, you can avoid expensive emergency treatments and help your smile last a lifetime. We recommend scheduling professional cleanings and check-ups every 6-9 months. Those prone to tartar and calculus build up may require extra scaling visits in between.

Fillings

Tooth-coloured fillings offer a natural-looking alternative to traditional silver fillings. Made from a white resin that matches your tooth color, these fillings are perfect for treating cavities or replacing old, damaged fillings. Not only are they strong and durable, but they also blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a discreet and aesthetically pleasing solution.

While white fillings are commonly used, especially for baby teeth, there are instances where silver fillings may still be necessary. This can occur if the cavity is below the gum line, if it’s difficult to keep the area dry (such as in the back of the mouth), or if a large filling requires a tighter contact in the molars.

Sealants

Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (like molars) to help prevent cavities. They fill in the tiny grooves where food and bacteria can get trapped. Applying sealants is quick and painless used for kids. They can be re-applied as needed, making them a good way to protect teeth from decay.

Crowns

When teeth are broken or weakened by large cavities, a crown provides the full coverage and strength needed to restore them. Crowns can be placed on any tooth—whether front or back—and are available in a variety of materials. These include tooth-coloured porcelain for a natural look, full gold for durability, or a combination of a gold base with porcelain for added strength, depending on the tooth being crowned and the level of support required.
