- Dental SealantsThe CDC (Center for Disease Control) reports benefits of dental sealants being used to help prevent cavities in children, and dental insurance companies typically cover sealants in patients up to the age of 18.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeBonding can also be used to cover exposed tooth roots when gums have receded. Composite resin is a special type of plastic used for dental repairs. It is inexpensive and easy to apply.
- VeneersVeneers have been used since the first days of movie-making. Actors needed less than perfect teeth fixed before filming and needed a quick solution. Dentists would glue veneers on top of stained or misshaped teeth to make the smile look perfect. Unfortunately, the glue available over 100 years ago was not strong enough to last for more than a few days. The veneers had to be replaced frequently.
- CrownsTypically, it is recommended that the bridge is attached to teeth that have been prepared with a crown. This is, however, the choice of the patient, either based on the patient’s budget and the condition of the abutting teeth. The different types of bridges are categorized by the way they are bonded into the arch.

- Dental BondingDental bonding is often used along with cosmetic contouring. Not only can contouring fix cracked or chipped teeth, but it can be used to reverse damage from bruxism (teeth grinding) and make it easier to clean between teeth.
- Root Canal TreatmentRoot canal therapy provides a means to treat a badly damaged or infected tooth while saving it from extraction. As long as the damage remains above the gum line and does not extend down into the root, a root canal can be done to restore the tooth and keep the root in place in the jaw. The best preventative dentistry practice is to preserve as many natural teeth in the mouth as possible all throughout adulthood.
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesMost patients who need to replace multiple teeth will choose to order dentures and be satisfied with the results but can still struggle with comfort and taste problems. Upper dentures commonly cover the soft palate of the mouth. The soft palate plays a role in taste, so when it is covered by a denture, taste is diminished as well as causing problems with speech.
- Overdentures
- Dental ImplantsImplants are quickly becoming one of the most popular dental procedures requested for replacing missing teeth. Implants are the healthiest replacement method and the most natural feeling.
- Tooth ExtractionsThe experts at the Centre for Cosmetic Dentistry may discover a reason to suggest a tooth extraction. Extractions are not recommended lightly. It would be the last resort offered as the primary goal of any dental office is to retain as many natural teeth as possible throughout a patient’s entire adulthood.
- Teeth WhiteningProfessional whitening is always much faster and more effective than any box kits you can buy over the counter. The whitening gels available to dentists are so much stronger than over-the-counter gels that they require professional supervision to ensure no damage is done to tooth enamel. Professional whitening provides whiter and faster results.
- Cosmetic DentistryCosmetic dentistry consists of several different oral appliances and procedures (used alone or several in combination) to improve the appearance of teeth and smiles. Our professionals at the Centre for Cosmetic Dentistry offer an expert opinion for the perfect treatment plan for each individual.
