Emergency Dentistry

If you have accidentally lost a tooth, don't panic. At Ellerslie Highway Dental Centre we specialize in Emergency Dentistry. We will have you fixed up in no time. If you have such an emergency, call us and we will fit you in as soon as possible.

 
     

Teeth Whitening

People with stained or dull teeth usually benefit from whitening, which is a safe and effective way to brighten teeth. Professional teeth bleaching products, which contain peroxides, actually change your natural tooth colour anywhere from five to ten shades brighter. At Ellerslie Highway Dental Centre we have the latest tooth whitening system to suit all budgets.

Fillings

At Ellerslie Highway Dental centre we do white, tooth colored fillings that are mercury free and invisible in your mouth. Ask us about changing yours today. If you have teeth that need filling and you have neglected to visit the dentist, don't delay, you can save your tooth with filling.

     

Root Canal Treatments

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontics, is a dental procedure designed to treat infection or decay that has occurred at the centre of the tooth. Root canal treatment is designed to save the tooth and prevent the spread of infection. The damaged pulp is removed from the tooth and the root canal is then cleaned of all bacteria. After the bacteria has been removed, the root canal and pulp are filled in using an artificial substance, before being sealed. Root canal treatment is commonly perceived as being a painful procedure. In fact, in the hands of a properly trained dentist, root canal treatment is relatively painless, and it should be no more unpleasant than having a filling done.

Crowns

Crowns are synthethic caps that fit over a broken or decayed tooth to restore its shape and function. Temporary crowns can be made in your dentist's office whereas permanent crowns are made in a dental laboratory. We often use dental crowns to restore beauty and strength to a tooth that has been weakened by decay or injury. The targeted tooth is prepared by removing damaged areas and shaping it to accommodate the dental crown. An impression of the prepared tooth is made so that the crown can be precisely crafted to fit snugly on the tooth. Once the crown is ready, it is cemented onto the tooth. At Ellerslie Highway Dental Centre, we primarily use dental crowns as a restorative dentistry option; however, we also use them for aesthetic applications such as fixing minor misalignments and repairing cracks and discolorations.

Dentures (full or partial)

The loss of teeth can be a traumatic event that leads to diminished self-confidence, oral hygiene problems, and chewing difficulties. You use your mouth several times a day, so ideally a lost tooth needs to be replaced with something that is safe, comfortable, and functional. To that end, dentures have been used throughout human history as an indefinite tooth replacement in the event of disease or injury resulting in loss of teeth.

     

Bridges

Bridges can be placed to fill in gaps left by missing teeth. Bridges not only make it easer for patients to speak and eat, but they also prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place. Dental bridges consist of one or more artificial teeth that are held in place by crowns.The procedure to place a dental bridge requires two visits: one to prepare the adjacent teeth and take an impression of the area, and a second to place the bridge once it has been custom made from the impression.

Dental Implants

Implants are devices that replace the roots of missing teeth, and are used to support crowns, bridges or dentures. Implants are placed in your jawbone surgically. Most of the time, implants feel more natural and secure than other methods of replacing missing teeth, such as dentures.

Cleaning and scaling

This is the process of removing plague and tartar that are in the surface of the teeth. If plague and tartar are not removed regularly, it could lead to gum disease and decayed teeth.

 
     

Porcelain Veneers

Dental Veneers are thin superficial coverings for teeth. They are usually made from porcelain or resin and are applied to the front teeth. Huge cosmetic improvements can be made with veneers to rectify the colour, size and shape of teeth. Dental Veneers require minimal tooth reduction and are therefore more conservative than crowns. It's not the only alternative for aesthetic abnormalities, but it's truly a remarkable restoration with quick results.
