Common General Dentistry Services
Cleanings and Exams — Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings can help prevent cavities and gum disease. During your visit, your dentist will examine your teeth and gums, take x-rays if needed, remove plaque and tartar and provide guidance on at-home oral care.
Dental Fillings — Dental fillings are used to restore teeth affected by decay or minor damage. The decayed portion is removed, and a filling material—often tooth-coloured composite—is placed to restore the tooth’s structure and appearance.
Composite Bonding — A cosmetic and restorative option that repairs chipped, cracked or discoloured teeth. Composite resin is applied, shaped and hardened to match the natural tooth. The process is minimally invasive, often completed in a single visit, and can enhance both appearance and function.
Root Canal Treatment — Treats infection or damage in the inner pulp of a tooth. The procedure involves removing the affected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the canals and sealing the tooth. Root canal treatment aims to relieve pain, preserve the natural tooth, and strengthen it with a crown or other restoration.
Extractions and Wisdom Tooth Removal — Extractions are the removal of teeth that are damaged, decayed or causing crowding. Local anaesthesia aims to ensure comfort during the procedure. Post-treatment instructions can help manage healing, reduce discomfort and prevent complications.
Tooth Replacements — Options include dentures, partials, bridges and dental implants for missing teeth. These treatments restore the ability to chew, speak and smile with a complete smile. During consultation, your dentist will discuss the best option for your oral health, lifestyle and personal preferences.
