Dental examination is the visual inspection of the teeth and surrounding structures, including the head and neck. Your dentist or dental hygienist will check for cavities to see if there is any plaque – that’s the clear, sticky layer of bacteria – or tartar on your teeth. The dentist also checks the gums to ensure they are healthy and stable.
Dental Radiograph are commonly called X-rays and Dentist used them to find hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities.
The CDBS provides eligible children up to $1026 worth of dental services over 2 calendar years.
General Dentistry
Regular routine check-ups are important – not just for the teeth but also the gums and the mouth. If there are any changes that need to be treated, such as tooth decay or gum disease, these can often be detected in the early stages, making treatment more straight-forward. Regular visits can reduce the impact and ensure longevity
A dental filling is a procedure used to fill a hole, or cavity, in a tooth. A filling may be needed if you have tooth decay or if the structure of the tooth is lost due to trauma.
A dental crown is a cap that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. A crown might be needed to protect a decayed tooth from more damage, to restore an already compromised tooth, to hold a dental bridge in place or to cover a severely discoloured tooth.
A dental bridge permanently replaces a missing tooth with a false tooth. The bridge is attached to the teeth on either side of the gap.
Gum Disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place.
Dentures are a removable appliance created to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. There are two main types of dentures available, complete, or partial denture.
Wisdom teeth are the molars that come through last, they are the third molars to the back and normally come through in the late teen or early 20s.
A dental implant is a screw placed on a surgical procedure on the jaw to replace a missing tooth.
RCT is a dental procedure designed to clear out the inflammation caused by tooth decay or trauma caused on the tooth. This is necessary to save the damaged tooth from extraction.
A dental extraction, is the removal of teeth from the (socket) in the bone. Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, but most commonly to remove teeth which have become unrestorable through tooth decay, periodontal disease, or dental trauma. Sometimes impacted wisdom teeth (wisdom teeth that are stuck and unable to grow normally into the mouth) may cause recurrent infections of the gum (pericoronitis), and may be removed. In orthodontics, if the teeth are crowded, healthy teeth may be extracted to create space so the rest of the teeth can be straightened.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects the jaw to the skull. There is a TMJ on each side of the face, in front of each ear. These joints allow the movements needed for speaking, eating and facial expression.
Problems with your jaw and the muscles in your face that control it are known as temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It can cause pain, abnormal jaw movements and joint noises. TMDs are quite common.
Cosmetics
Dental veneers are thin, tooth-coloured shells that are attached to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are often made from porcelain or resin-composite materials and are permanently bonded to your teeth.
Veneers can be used to treat a variety of different cosmetic concerns, including chipped, broken, discoloured or misaligned teeth.
Teeth whitening is a procedure to lighten the natural colour of teeth enamel. The safest, most effective treatment will be given by your dentist.
Dental orthodontics provides a wide range of treatment options to straighten crooked teeth, fix bad bites and align the jaws correctly. We offer ClearCorrect or Invisalign; a clear aligner system used to straighten teeth as an alternative to traditional braces. A series of clear, custom-made, removable aligners are used to gradually move teeth a little bit at a time, eventually correcting the teeth and smile.
