Preventive Care
Dental Cleanings
Brushing and flossing do a lot, but tartar can only be removed with dental tools. A regular cleaning keeps your gums healthy and your teeth feeling smooth.
Dental Exams
A dental exam is a careful look at your whole mouth, not just your teeth. It helps your dentist catch small problems while they are still simple to treat.
Dental Sealants
The chewing surfaces of back teeth have deep grooves where food and bacteria get trapped. A sealant fills in those grooves so they are easier to keep clean.
Digital X-Rays
Some dental problems hide between teeth or under the gums. Digital X-rays let your dentist see those areas and show you the images on a screen.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride helps enamel repair itself and resist acid. A quick professional treatment adds a stronger dose than toothpaste alone.
General Dentistry
General dentistry covers the everyday care that keeps your mouth healthy, from exams and cleanings to fixing a cavity before it grows.
Night Guards
Many people grind or clench their teeth in their sleep without knowing it. A custom night guard puts a cushion between your teeth to help protect them.
Oral Cancer Screening
Changes in the mouth are easy to miss on your own. A short screening at your dental visit helps catch anything unusual early.
Sports Mouthguards
A stick, ball or elbow to the face can chip or knock out a tooth in a second. A well-fitted mouthguard helps cushion that blow.
Family & General
Children's Dentistry
Healthy baby teeth help your child chew, speak and save space for adult teeth. We keep visits short, friendly and focused on prevention.
Help for Dental Anxiety
If the thought of a dental visit makes your heart race, you are not alone. We work at your pace and you stay in control of the visit.
Family Dentistry
One dental home for everyone in your household, from a toddler's first look to a grandparent's denture check. Evening and Saturday hours help busy families fit visits in.
Your Child's First Dental Visit
A first visit is mostly about meeting the dentist and getting comfortable. It is short, gentle and gives you a chance to ask questions about your child's teeth.
Pregnancy Dental Care
Pregnancy changes your hormones, and your gums often notice. Regular dental care during pregnancy is safe and helps you stay comfortable.
Sedation Dentistry
For some people, a little help relaxing makes dental care possible. We offer nitrous oxide, a light, breathable option your dentist can discuss with you after reviewing your health.
Senior Dentistry
Teeth can last a lifetime, but your mouth changes as you age. We help older adults keep eating, speaking and smiling comfortably.
Restorative Dentistry
Apicoectomy
An apicoectomy is a small surgery on the tip of a tooth root. It can help when infection lingers after a root canal and redoing the root canal is not the right choice.
Cracked Tooth Treatment
A cracked tooth can cause a quick, sharp pain when you chew that comes and goes. Finding and treating the crack early gives the tooth a better chance.
Dental Bridges
A bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth with a fixed replacement that is anchored to the teeth on either side.
Dental Crowns
A crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged tooth, holding it together and restoring its shape so you can chew with confidence again.
Denture Repairs and Relines
A cracked base, a missing tooth or a denture that keeps slipping can make every meal frustrating. Many of these problems can be fixed without starting over.
Dentures
Missing most or all of your teeth can make eating and talking harder. A well-fitted complete denture can help you chew, speak and smile with more ease.
Full Mouth Rehabilitation
When many teeth are worn, broken, decayed or missing, fixing one at a time can feel endless. A full mouth plan looks at the whole picture and puts treatment in a sensible order.
Inlays and Onlays
Sometimes a tooth needs more than a filling but less than a crown. Inlays and onlays sit in between, repairing damage while saving more of your natural tooth.
Partial Dentures
When a few teeth are missing, the gaps can shift your bite and make chewing awkward. A removable partial denture fills those spaces and works around the teeth you still have.
Root Canal Treatment
When the nerve inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, a root canal can clear the problem and help you keep the tooth.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings
A cavity is a small hole caused by decay. A tooth-coloured filling removes the decay and rebuilds the tooth with a material that matches its shade.
Dental Implants
Bone Grafting
After a tooth is lost, the jawbone around it can shrink. A bone graft helps rebuild or preserve that bone so there is a solid base for an implant.
Dental Implants
An implant replaces the root of a missing tooth, giving a crown, bridge or denture a fixed base in your jaw. It starts with a careful look at your bone, gums and overall health.
Implant-Supported Bridges
When three or more teeth in a row are gone, placing an implant for each one is not always needed. A bridge anchored on two or more implants can span the gap.
Implant-Supported Dentures
If your denture slides when you eat or speak, a few implants can give it something to hold on to. Many people find a lower denture much steadier this way.
Single Tooth Implants
Losing one tooth can leave a gap that affects your bite and your confidence. A single implant with its own crown fills the space and stands on its own.
Oral Surgery
Tooth Extractions
Saving a natural tooth is always the first goal. When a tooth is too damaged, infected or crowded to keep, a careful extraction can protect the rest of your mouth.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth often arrive in the late teens or twenties, and many do not have room to come in properly. An X-ray helps show whether yours should stay or go.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Dental Bonding
Bonding uses tooth-coloured resin, shaped by hand, to repair small chips, close little gaps or cover a stain, often in a single visit.
Gum Contouring
If your gums cover too much of your teeth, or sit higher on one tooth than the next, gum contouring can even out the line around your smile.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They can change the colour, shape or length of teeth that whitening alone cannot fix.
Smile Makeover
A smile makeover is not one treatment. It is a plan that puts the right treatments in the right order to reach the smile you have in mind.
Teeth Whitening
Coffee, tea and time can dull your smile. Professional whitening, planned after a dental exam, can lift many of those stains safely.
Invisalign & Orthodontics
Traditional Braces
Braces use small brackets and a wire that stay on your teeth around the clock, steadily guiding them into line.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are thin plastic trays that move teeth in small planned steps. You can take them out, which makes them a flexible way to straighten teeth.
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen is a version of Invisalign made for teens whose teeth are still coming in, with features that help parents and dentists track wear.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to move teeth gradually. You take them out to eat, brush and floss.
Orthodontic Treatment
Crooked teeth and an uneven bite can be corrected at almost any age. Our dentists can walk you through braces, clear aligners and retainers in one visit.
Clear Retainers
Straightening teeth is only half the job. A retainer helps hold them in place while the bone and gums around them settle.
Gum Care (Periodontics)
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease often starts quietly, with a little bleeding and no pain. Treating it early can help protect the bone and gums that hold your teeth in place.
Gum Grafting
Receding gums can leave tooth roots exposed and sensitive. A gum graft adds tissue back to thin or receded areas to help cover and protect them.
Periodontal Maintenance
After gum disease treatment, the work is not quite done. Maintenance visits help keep your gums stable and catch any change before it spreads.
Scaling and Root Planing
When tartar builds up under the gums, a regular cleaning cannot reach it. Scaling and root planing cleans those deeper pockets so your gums can heal.
Emergency Dental Care
Broken or Chipped Tooth
A chip can be tiny or a break can expose the inside of the tooth. Either way, a quick check helps protect the tooth and keep your options open.
Dental Abscess Treatment
A throbbing tooth, a swollen face or a pimple on your gum can mean an infection has formed a pocket of pus. An abscess does not heal on its own and needs dental care.
Emergency Dentist
A dental emergency is stressful. Call us during office hours, tell us what happened, and we will do our best to see you as soon as possible.
Knocked-Out Tooth Care
When an adult tooth is knocked out, the first hour matters. What you do in the next few minutes can make a big difference to whether the tooth can be saved.
Lost Filling or Crown
When a filling falls out or a crown comes off, the tooth underneath is left exposed. Keep the crown if you have it, and call us to book a visit.
Toothache Relief
Tooth pain is your body asking for attention. Home steps can help for a short time, but finding and treating the cause is what brings lasting relief.
Common Dental Problems
Bad Breath Treatment
Bad breath that keeps coming back can be embarrassing. In most cases the cause is in the mouth, and your dental team can help you find and treat it.
Bleeding Gums
Seeing pink in the sink after you brush is common, but it is not normal. Bleeding gums are often the first sign that your gums need attention.
Sensitive Teeth Treatment
A quick, sharp twinge from ice water or a cold breeze is a common problem. Finding the cause is the first step to making your teeth more comfortable.
TMJ Treatment
A sore jaw, clicking when you chew or headaches when you wake up can all be linked to the jaw joints and muscles. Most jaw problems improve with simple, conservative care.
