General Dentistry

General dentists look after the overall health of our teeth and oral hygiene. They offer restorative dentistry including dental bridges, implants, onlays, inlays, bonding, and dentures. They also provide tooth decay treatments (like the filling of cavities), as well as dental exams, X-rays, teeth cleanings, along with simple tooth extractions, and fluoride treatments.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic Dentistry procedures improve your smile and self-confidence through teeth whitening or teeth bleaching. The latter reduces stains and discolouration to give you a brighter smile. Other common cosmetic dentistry procedures are crowns, implants, tooth bonding, and teeth shaping. Another popular option you can get at many cosmetic dental offices in Brampton are dental veneers. These shells of thin cement are put onto the front of your teeth to improve their appearance.

Periodontal Dentistry

This form of dentistry prevents and treats conditions and diseases that affect the structures that support our teeth. These include our gums, the cementum (surface layer of the tooth root), periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone.
They also treat gum diseases and offer surgeries like pocket reduction and gum grafting. You will require the services of a periodontal dentist in cases of severe gum disease, or if you have a medical history of minor but complicated gum disease.

Orthodontic Dentistry

Dentists who deal in orthodontic dentistry help us align our teeth and jaws in cases of misaligned teeth, underbites, crossbites, or overbites. They correct these issues using palate expanders,braces, retainers, fixed-space maintainers, clear aligners, headgear, and other specialized treatments. These services improve the alignment of our teeth and bite over time.

Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric Surgeons cater to the dental (and emotional) needs and oral health of children, ranging from infants to teens. Routine services include teeth cleaning and cavity filling, as well as monitoring the development of their teeth. They also track and diagnose oral conditions related to childhood diseases and conditions.

Endodontic Dentistry

The words ‘root canal’ give many of us nightmares. Well, no more. When you’re looking for a dentist in Brampton for root canal therapy, you need an endodontist. Endodontic dentistry deals with the sensitive interior of your tooth when it is damaged, infected, or diseased. Treatments include root canal.

img

Prosthodontic Dentistry

These services replace and restore your damaged or missing teeth. These specialists design, fabricate, and fit artificial replacements for missing or damaged teeth, and other areas in your mouth. These help restore the natural appearance and functionality of your mouth.
Prosthodontic services include installing bridges, dental implants, and dentures, as well as reconstructive surgery. Prosthodontic dentists are also highly trained for certain cosmetic procedures, like veneers and crowns.

Oral and Maxillofacial Dentistry

Oral and maxillofacial dentists are known for wisdom tooth extraction. In general, wisdom teeth don’t get enough room to erupt properly as they are the final ones to come in. If they remain in that crowded space, they can cause infection and damage other teeth and oral bone.
A fully impacted wisdom tooth may require extensive surgery to be removed, which is where oral surgeons come in. Their dental offices accommodate operating rooms where they perform these extractions, as well as:

Oral health is vital for our overall well-being and often goes unattended until we are in deep pain. Don’t let that happen.

COMMON REASONS TO VISIT DENTIST

img

Teeth Cleanings

This is by far the most common reason people visit the dentist. Many dentists recommend a cleaning every six months, and some recommend once a year. Either way, it’s a very important part of oral health. Your own toothbrush will never be as efficient as the tools a dentist uses to clean your teeth.
An annual or semi-annual visit for cleaning will keep your teeth healthy, shiny, and strong. Plus, a cleaning causes very little discomfort, so no need to fret!

img

Teeth Whitening

Like cleaning, whitening is a discomfort less process. Some people are sensitive to the whitening agents used, but otherwise it’s an easy procedure that most dental offices can do. At home teeth whitening kits involve a lot of extra time and effort. You need to buy kits and spend a lot of time.
At a dentistry, bleaching is quicker and safer because it is performed by professionals. Most often, dentists use a special hydrogen peroxide gel and a special light source to whiten faster.

img

Extractions

Extractions sound scary and painful. Admittedly, they are not the most pleasant of procedures. However, your dentist will do everything in their power to help you feel comfortable. You may need an extraction for any number of reasons.
When having a tooth pulled, you’ll likely be thoroughly numbed. You won’t be able to feel a thing! You may be sore afterwards, but extractions are almost always to prevent further pain.

img

Veneers

If your teeth are crooked or discoloured, your dentist might recommend veneers. These are very popular solutions to common tooth problems. It’s essentially a thin covering placed over the front section of a tooth or set of teeth. They’re mainly used for correctional purposes, but they can be used for whitening, too. The process is simple and painless for most people, and it’s easy for dentists to perform.

img

Fillings

Cavities are all too common and all too easy to get. For most cavities, a filling is the recommended answer. Acids in food and inside your body can easily break down tooth enamel if overexposed.
Luckily, filling most cavities is a quick procedure. You’ll likely be numbed, which can last for a few hours after the filling is over. It usually takes about an hour to finish up, and then it’s good as new! You might feel pressure while they’re working, but it shouldn’t be painful.

img

Crowns

If your cavity is a little too big for a filling, or the top part of your tooth has decayed, acrown is the solution. These are usually two-visit procedures, but like the filling, shouldn’t be overtly painful. Your dentist will take a molding of your tooth so that a lab can craft a properly fitted crown to cover the decayed area.
Some offices have “printers” in office. They use a special x-ray and computer combination to take photos and craft a crown right then and there! The second visit will involve fitting and securing the crown, which is usually quite fast and painless.

img

Root Canal

This is one that most people dread, and for fair reasons. Root canals are usually preceded by some pretty awful tooth pain. A root canal means the tissue inside or under your tooth is infected and inflamed. To get rid of the pain, the dentist needs to deaden the nerve and remove the tissue. Sometimes you may need to take an antibiotic before the procedure.
The good thing is that you’ll be numbed before it happens, so you won’t feel any pain, just pressure. Once the procedure is over – and it can take a few hours – you’ll be numb for a while, but hopefully pain free since the infection will be gone.

img

Braces/Invisalign

The goal is to straighten and correct crooked teeth, as straighter teeth are often healthier and easier to take care of. Classic braces use metal and other materials to slowly tighten teeth back into place. Invisalign is less visible and slower acting, but still a very effective method to achieve the same goal. The procedure to have them put on can leave a little ache, but nothing too extreme.

img

Bonding

This is another way to repair damaged or chipped teeth. It involves a resin – a sort of plastic – that your dentists tints to match the natural shade of your teeth. It’s less invasive than some other methods, especially for smaller imperfections. Several layers are needed to really secure the resin, and a light is used to “dry” each layer. The spot is then polished and cleaned so it fits naturally into the tooth. It’s an easy procedure, but can take a little while.

Dentures

Dentures are usually associated with ageing, but a lot of people may need dentures. They are meant to replace teeth in a natural way, and they’re typically removable. Fitting for dentures is very common, and it takes a while. In the end, it’s worth it to have a full set of working teeth again.
