Complete Dental Care From A To Z

If you experience issues with your teeth, gums, or oral health, restorative dental care can restore normal function and comfort. Regular visits to your dentist and timely intervention at the first signs of decay can prevent discomfort, pain, and unexpected costs. Ensuring the natural lifespan of your teeth and maintaining optimal oral health requires consistent dental care. General dentistry emphasizes overall well-being. Here are some outcomes achievable through preventive and restorative treatments:

    Preventative Care:

  • Achieve exceptionally clean teeth that appear whiter naturally, without the need for whitening treatments.
  • Utilize X-rays to detect issues while they are still minor.
  • Maintain healthy gums that are free from itching or bleeding.
  • Halt cavities in their early stages with composite fillings.
  • Reduce sensitivity to hot and cold foods.
  • Prevent and even reverse tooth decay.
  • Prolong the lifespan of prosthetics and dental appliances.

    Restorative Dentistry:

  • Preserve your natural tooth by treating infections.
  • Replace missing teeth with solutions that look natural.
  • Restore damaged teeth to their original, like-new condition.
  • Receive custom-made prosthetics and appliances.
  • Improve eating, sleep, and overall quality of life.

Our General Dentistry services

Composite Fillings

Tooth-coloured fillings not only blend in with your natural teeth but also help to prevent further damage and decay, promoting better overall dental health.

Dental Bonding

Restore a tooth's natural appearance and function by repairing cracks, chips or any imperfections.

Dental Bridges

Revitalize your smile by filling in gaps and replacing one or more of your teeth with a personalized dental prosthesis that is expertly affixed for a lasting solution.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns play a vital role in restorative dentistry, offering significant enhancements to the strength, aesthetics, and durability of your teeth.

Dental Extractions

Whether you need a simple tooth removal or a more intricate dental surgery, tooth extraction is a routine procedure that can be conducted with minimal pain or discomfort.

Dental Implants

An implant functions similarly to a natural tooth root and is typically topped with a restoration like a dental crown. This ensures your teeth not only appear appealing but also feel authentic and perform effectively.

Dentures

Acquire new dentures or upkeep and mend your full or partial ones. These contemporary dental prosthetics can substitute several or all of your teeth with minimal discomfort.

Root Canals

Root canals can be meticulous, swift, and largely painless, providing instant relief while preserving your natural tooth.

Teeth Cleanings

Consistent dental checkups and cleanings are essential for averting gum disease and tooth decay. To safeguard against unforeseen dental pain and unexpected costs, it's advisable to schedule your cleaning and checkup every 6 to 8 months.

The Importance Of Early Intervention And Routine Care

At our practice, we believe that prevention is key. Your smile matters greatly to us, and your health is our top priority. Our recommendations for routine care and early intervention stem from genuine care and concern. Maintaining the health of your teeth, gums, jaw, and tongue now and addressing issues promptly will minimize discomfort, pain, and unexpected expenses for you. This approach ensures our patients continue to smile with confidence.

Keep Your Natural Teeth Longer

Maintain your natural teeth for longer by practicing excellent oral hygiene. Cavities are the primary cause of tooth loss in young adults, while gum disease is common among older adults. During routine exams, we detect early signs of decay and gum disease, intervening promptly to preserve your dental health.

Save Your Money

Treatments for the earliest signs of tooth decay, such as composite fillings, are relatively affordable and offer long-term benefits. Routine teeth cleaning and exams are predictable expenses that fit well within a budget. However, more extensive procedures needed to address serious health issues often come with a higher price tag.

Don’t Even Think About It

Enjoy the benefits of optimal oral health without even thinking about it. Experience freedom from aches, inflammation, or debilitating toothaches. Feel confident about eating the foods you love and showing off your smile. Well-maintained teeth are naturally beautiful, comfortable, and reliable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Regular cleanings and exams are part of a routine dental check-up. These sessions help in removing stubborn plaque and tartar that can accumulate despite regular brushing and flossing. They also allow our dental team to closely monitor your general oral health, paying special attention to any areas that may need extra care.

Tooth decay can be accelerated with a diet high in sugar or acidic food and drinks like coffee or soda pop. Leftover food particles, especially caught in hard-to-reach places, become a feast for the bacteria that live in our mouths. The bacteria multiply and produce an acidic byproduct that builds up on teeth and weakens enamel.

Factors such as genetic predisposition can contribute to varying levels of cavity susceptibility among individuals. Some may inherently harbour more cavity-causing bacteria or possess overcrowded teeth that are challenging to keep clean. The most effective approach is to prioritize excellent oral hygiene and maintain healthy dietary practices at home, which can significantly lower the risk of developing cavities.

Yes, fillings are essential to treat early tooth decay, which may not cause pain initially but can worsen without treatment. Getting a filling early prevents further decay and maintains tooth integrity, avoiding future discomfort and more extensive treatments.

Managing tooth decay starts with regular cleanings to prevent and potentially reverse its progression. Address early signs of decay using fluoride treatments and composite fillings. If a tooth becomes infected, a root canal procedure can often save it. Severely decayed teeth may require capping with natural-looking dental crowns or enhancing with dental veneers. In extreme cases, extraction of severely decayed teeth may be necessary, followed by restoring function and aesthetics using implants or bridges. Treatment approaches vary based on individual dental conditions.

It’s safe and encouraged to undergo preventive teeth cleaning and routine exams during pregnancy. The aim is to prevent oral infections and manage any dental issues that may arise. In cases of dental emergencies, such as infections, more invasive procedures like root canals may be necessary. Elective procedures, such as teeth whitening, should be postponed until after the baby is born.

James P

Superb service, excellent dental procedures, warm atmosphere, at times funny staff. Also, they only charge the insurance rate for procedures- no extra billing here. #1 in my book.

Sam R

I just went here for the first time and WOW! What a great experience. My hygienist was very attentive and caring. She was the most knowledgeable person I've ever seen for a cleaning! She even gave me tips on how to properly position my tongue and lips to maintain muscles, which I had never heard before. My teeth feel amazing and I feel like I'm in the right hands!

Mylene P

I want to thank Dr Moussa for a job well done. She fixed my teeth perfectly and takes her precious time to fix it. She gave so much care for her patients. She doesn't care how much time she will spend with her patient just to make sure that they are happy and satisfied. She has her magic hands - I didn't feel anything. I feel comfortable and so happy with the outcome. I wish I'd known about her a long time ago.
