Dental treatments help maintain the health of your teeth and gums, prevent problems in the future, and fix common dental issues.
During an exam, your dentist will examine your teeth, looking for any cavities or issues. Additionally, they will also look at your gums, tongue, the sides of your cheeks, and the rest of your mouth. Some exams may include dental x-rays.
A dental filling is a restorative procedure done to repair a tooth that is decayed, chipped, cracked, or broken. However, most commonly, general dentists perform it for patients who have cavities. Dental fillings can be made of gold, ceramic, silver amalgam, or composite resin.
Composite resins (white filling): These are a newer material used for dental fillings and are preferred over amalgam fillings for a couple reasons. They look the same colour as your teeth, and do not expand and contract or damage teeth, like metal fillings.
However, they are just as strong and durable as metal fillings.
Glass ionomer: This material acts more like a sealant than the composite resins and is opaque.
Resin-modified glass ionomer: This is similar to the glass ionomer, but have an enamel colour to better match teeth, and is made to last longer.
Root canal therapy is needed when the dental pulp and nerve of a tooth are affected by decay or infection. In order to save the tooth, the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria, and any decay are removed and the resulting space is filled with special, medicated dental materials, which restore the tooth to its full function. Our dental team will ensure that your root canal therapy is as painless and comfortable as possible. If specialized root filling is required, you will be referred to a specialist.
