Comprehensive Dental Services
General, Cosmetic, and Restorative Care
General Check-ups
We are a general dental office who provide a complete suite of exams and diagnostic services. Our thorough examinations encompass cleaning, head and neck evaluations of both hard and soft tissues, oral cancer screening, detailed dental and periodontal assessments, and sleep and breathing evaluations. Additionally, we offer specialized exams for implants and implant-supported dentures, sleep disorders, TMJ pain, Botox injections, and emergency care services.
Preventive Care
Dental Cleanings with a Registered Dental Hygienist is the most important service any dental clinic can provide. We recommend dental cleanings (non-surgical periodontal therapy) to be completed every 3-12 months depending on your personal gum health and needs.
We also provide breathing/sleeping services such as certified Buteyko Breathing coaching, Myofunctional Therapy, orthopedic jaw development (maxillary expansion) as well as a full complement of orthodontic services. We strongly believe in minimally-invasive dentistry- by addressing the cause of the problem instead of simply fixing the resulting symptoms.
We offer Silver Diamond fluoride treatments to try to prevent early decay from becoming a cavity.
Dental Implants
We offer state-of-the-art implants from the industry-leading brand Straumann. Our commitment to quality is reflected not only in the implants we use but also in our advanced in-house CBCT (3D X-ray imaging) technology. Our comprehensive implant services include single tooth implants, bridges, full-arch implant restorations, and implant-supported denture solutions, ensuring that we can meet all of your dental implant needs effectively and efficiently.
In addition to our top-of-the-line implant technology, we also have a team of highly trained and experienced specialists who are dedicated to providing exceptional care for all patients. Our team stays up-to-date with the latest advancements in dental implant techniques and procedures, ensuring that we can offer the most innovative and effective solutions for our patients.
Periodontal Care
Did you know that the word “periodontal” comes from two Greek words?
“Perio” means around, and “dontal” means tooth. So, “periodontal” literally translates to “around the tooth”!
Periodontal care involves taking care of the gums, supporting tissue, and bones that surround your teeth. Think of it like this: just as a house needs a solid foundation, your teeth need healthy gums and bones to stay strong and stable! Periodontal care includes regular cleanings, scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), gum grafts, bone grafts, and more.
Endodontics
” Endo” is the greek word for ” inside ” and “odont” is Greek for “tooth”. Endodontic treatment treats the inside of the tooth.
The primary purpose of endodontic treatment, commonly known as root canal therapy, is to alleviate pain and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. This treatment involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it, and then filling and sealing it. The process not only relieves toothache but also prevents the spread of infection to other teeth, preserving the natural tooth structure and maintaining the patient’s oral health and functionality.
Oral Surgery
There are various types of oral surgical procedures that may be performed depending on an individual’s unique dental needs. Some common procedures include:
- Tooth extraction: This is the removal of a severely damaged or decayed tooth.
- Wisdom tooth extraction: When wisdom teeth do not emerge properly and cause pain or infection, they will need to be surgically removed.
- Dental implants: These are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge.
- Dentures: This procedure involves the removal and replacement of multiple teeth with a removable dental appliance.
We even have Dr. Specht come every few weeks to provide a full range of sedation with medication such as Ativan to take away your dental fears for these types of appointments.
Orthodontics and Orthopedic Options
We offer a full range of orthodontic treatment based on a whole health focus. We provide early intervention options such as Myobrace, Phase 1 orthopedic treatment, various expansion devices, clear aligners ( Clear Correct), as well as proper tongue positioning and muscle development. These are critical components to successful long-term orthodontic problems.
It may be recommended to meet various other multi-disciplinary health professionals we work with, such as myofunctional therapists, chiropractors, physiotherapists, ENT surgeons and sleep physicians to obtain optimal results.
Sedation Dentistry
Whether for high anxiety treatment like removal of wisdom teeth and placements of implants, or whether you may just want to take the edge off for basic dentistry or cleanings, sedation dentistry may be right for you.
Please mention prior to your appointment if this interests you so we can book you in with one of our sedation certified practitioners.
Restorative and Cosmetic Dentistry.
Our skilled team of experienced dentists provide every type of dental restoration that you and your family may want or need. From long-lasting Gold Fillings and Crowns ( Dr. Wyzykoski is a Tucker Gold Certified Dentist) to Cosmetic Porcelain and Zirconia Crowns and Veneers.
We realize everyone has different needs, and our goal is to always strive to provide the beautiful and long-lasting solutions you are looking for.
Orthodontics and facial esthetics ( orthopedic and craniosacral development) can also help to achieve desirable long-term results and may also be worth considering.
Children’s Dentistry:
The Canadian Dental Association recommends bringing your child into the dentist about 6 months after the 1st tooth erupts, or by age 1. This might sound young but starting early allows us to recognize if there are any orthopedic issues that we may need to correct, and ensure the development of the teeth are on track.
We recommend playing “Dentist” with your child to prepare them for their first visit. Use a spoon to mimic a dental mirror, move it around their mouth and count their teeth together. If they are feeling squeamish, try it with one of their dolls or stuffed animals.
