Teeth Cleaning
Our dental hygienist will perform your teeth cleaning. She will check your gums for any signs of gingivitis (inflamed gums) or periodontitis (bone disease). If she detects any dental decay or major problems, she will confer with the dentist to determine next steps. During this visit, you can ask your hygienist to show you the proper way to brush and floss your teeth.
A professional tooth cleaning is a preventive check-up and is scheduled twice a year, so before you leave, please make sure to book your next cleaning.

Tooth Jewellery
You can add an extra sparkle to your smile by adding jewellery to your tooth. For this procedure, you should provide your favorite jewellery and our dentist fixes the jewel on the surface of your tooth. This procedure is painless with no damage to tooth tissues and has no side effect.
Dentures
We offer a variety of dentures such as; Valplast, Cast Partial Dentures, Immediate Dentures, Full Dentures, retainers and Flippers. Each has its own indications and steps. Please talk to our dentist to review your options.
Veneers, Crowns and Bridges
Crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic devices that are cemented onto existing teeth or implants. Best indications for getting a crown or bridge are replacing a large filling when there isn't enough tooth remaining, protecting a week tooth from fracturing, restoring a fractured tooth, covering a discolored tooth, closing the gaps between teeth, and covering a tooth that has had a root canal treatment.
before we start putting a crown or a bridge on your teeth, we must send a predetermination to your insurance. This process usually takes 3 weeks or more to get approval.

Dental Fillings
Fillings are a common dental procedure. A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. Only your dentist can detect whether you have a cavity that needs to be filled. During your checkup, we will take some X-rays and examine the surfaces of each tooth. In our office we mainly provide composite resin or tooth-colored fillings because they are Aesthetic and versatile.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. During this procedure, the infected nerve and blood vessels are removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.
In your first appointment, if the dentist finds a persistent pus, she will have to put a medication inside your tooth and will finish the treatment on the second appointment. There is always a 5-10% chance of root canal failure. Therefore, the next options would be referring you to the specialist or extracting the tooth.

Night guards
Sore or tender jaws, morning headaches, earaches and neck pain are common signs of moderate to severe bruxing. Others may notice their teeth have become more sensitive over time, or that their teeth look flat or worn. Other physical indications of chronic teeth grinding are chipped teeth; increased sensitivity to hot or cold foods and beverages; and loose or broken fillings. Most often, bruxism is related to stress.
If you are suffering from any of the above symptoms a night guard may be the treatment for you.

Nitrous Oxide and Oral Sedation
Nitrous Oxide, commonly known as laughing gas or happy gas, is used to decrease fear and anxiety during dental procedures. It is extremely safe because it is mixed directly with oxygen to provide you with the feeling of euphoria. Its effect wears off almost immediately so there is no “hangover effect”.
Oral Sedation is a medical procedure involving administration of oral sedative drugs to facilitate dental procedure and reduce patient anxiety. For this procedure, we require you to be at our office 1 hour prior to your dental treatment and be accompanied by somebody to drive you home after you are done.
At our office, we provide Nitrous Oxide Sedation, Oral Sedation, and or combination of both. For more information, please talk to our dentist or any team member.

Children's dentistry
The recommended age for a first visit to the dentist is approximately around one years old, or about six months after the appearance of the first tooth. The main goal of this appointment is to provide you, the parents, recommendations regarding your child’s dental hygiene and habits. We are also glad to answer your questions and to discuss any concerns you may have.
We want your child to have a positive experience at the dental office, from the moment they arrive, through to the end of their appointment. A positive dental experience not only promotes a trust relationship between your child and the dentist but also encourages your child to follow the dental recommendations we teach them. A positive experience promotes the best possible dental health for your child—and that is our goal.
Upon entry into our office, your child will be greeted warmly. When the appointment starts, our professionals will take care to explain in a simple and fun way any new procedures that will be done in your child’s mouth (exam, cleaning, sealant or other) to reduce any fear, they may have. During the procedures, we will continue to reassure, encourage and make sure they are comfortable. At the end of the appointment, we will give a reward to highlight your child’s accomplishment.
We recommend scheduling your child’s appointment during the morning. This time of the day is generally associated with better cooperation from children. We also suggest that you allow us the privilege of explaining to your child what the appointment will be like. Some parents have had unfortunate experiences in dental offices and may possibly describe to their child an unfavorable procedure. This can contribute to their child’s possible anxiety. We will explain every aspect of the visit in a way that lets them know they are in a safe environment with professionals they can trust.
