Replacing Your Teeth

Missing A Tooth

Think Missing Teeth Is No Big Deal? Think Again. There are plenty of reasons to replace a missing tooth. If a gap between your teeth is obvious when you smile or speak, it could be a cosmetic concern. Depending on their location, some missing teeth may affect your speech. A missing molar might not be noticeable when you talk or smile, but its absence can affect chewing and digestion of food.

When a tooth is missing, the biting force on the remaining teeth begins to change. As the bite changes to compensate for the lost tooth, there is a risk of extra pressure on and discomfort in the jaw joints. When teeth are missing, the bone that previously supported those teeth melts away, or deteriorates. This process is called bone resorption. If a missing tooth is not replaced, the surrounding teeth can shift. Harmful plaque and tarter can collect in new hard-to-reach places created by the shifting teeth. Over time, this may lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease and the loss of more teeth.

Benefits Of Dental Implants +

Like A New Tooth
A dental implant borne restoration looks like a natural tooth. The dental implant fuses to your bone and becomes part of your body. People with dental implants report better chewing sensation, greater biting strength and unchanged sense of taste and smell, compared to other options such as dentures.

Improve your ability to eat, speak and laugh
Indulge in the comfort of former times when you bite with confidence into that apple and laugh again with ease. When you feel like going for a swim, you do not have to worry your denture dropping out.

Enhanced self-confidence
Feel carefree once again while interacting with people – whether it’s a business discussion or chatting freely with family and friends.

They preserve your jaw bone
Dental Implants transmit chewing forces to the jaw bone, maintaining the bone amount and density.

They preserve your adjacent teeth
With dental implants, your remaining teeth don’t have to be ground down to hold your new replacement tooth/teeth in place.

Bridges

The loss of a tooth (or multiple teeth) is not something to take lightly, and a dental bridge may be a necessary step. Whether the tooth loss is due to injury or underlying oral health issues, dental bridges are a great option. They not only restore a person’s proper bite but also their confidence

Dentures

Some patients may choose to restore their missing teeth with dentures. Dentures are removable false teeth. When teeth are lost then some of the supporting bone shrinks away too. This can cause the facial muscles to sag and make the face look older. It can compromise your chewing function. Dentures can replace the missing teeth and add support for your facial structures. We make many different types of dentures depending on your budget and what suits you best. There are acrylic dentures, dentures with a metal framework, flexible dentures, and dentures attached to dental implants.

Dental Extractions

Unfortunately, sometimes it just needs to come out…

If a tooth is beyond repair from the advanced stages of decay, we may recommend an extraction. Tooth extraction is sometimes unavoidable. A tooth may need to be extracted if broken or if it is damaged by decay. If possible, we will try to fix it with a filling, a crown or some other treatment. Sometimes the tooth cannot be saved and must be removed.

What Is In-Practice Teeth Whitening? +

In-Office power whitening
This is a teeth whitening procedure that is performed on the dental chair. It is the fastest and most effective way to whiten teeth and usually takes less than an hour to complete. In-practice whitening is the best option for those wanting ‘instant’ results.

We will professional clean your teeth to remove any surface staining and scale. This helps to improve the effectiveness of the treatment.

We use the hydrogen peroxide gel which is activated to form free oxygen radicals.

These oxygen radicals enter the top layer of your tooth structure known as enamel, to bleach out any discoloured substances.

Take-home whitening
A custom-fitted tray is made to hold the teeth whitening product directly against the teeth while minimizing its contact with the gums. Take-home gel contains a lower percentage of peroxide than in practice products and can be worn in a tray overnight or during the day at home.

The process takes on average 2 weeks and is completed in the comfort of your own home. After the whitening is complete you will enjoy the refreshing whiter and younger looking smile.
