Crowns
A crown is a fixed dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth. Crowns are often used to reinforce strength to a tooth that may have a small crack, has had a root canal, or a tooth that has a big filling on it.
Same Day Crowns
Here at Mountain Creek Dental Centre we have our very own milling machine that fabricates crowns for a patient all in one day. Have your tooth prepped in the morning and have your crown inserted for you a few hours later!
Bridges
A bridge (like a crown) is a fixed dental restoration used to replace a missing tooth (or several teeth) by cementing either ends of the bridge to the teeth beside the missing tooth. This creates a “bridge” over the gap of the missing tooth and allows function to return to this area.
Implants
A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants are the closest option to natural functioning teeth.
Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment straightens your teeth so they look and function better. Braces (or other appliances) are used to apply a gentle pressure to your teeth and as a result over a number of months or years this pressure can move your teeth into more of an ideal position.
Athletic/Grinding Guard
A mouthguard is a protective device for the mouth that covers the teeth and gums to prevent and reduce injury to the teeth, lips and gums. A mouthguard is most often used to prevent injury in contact sports. A grinding guard is used to help prevent headaches, jaw stiffness, and wearing down of teeth during nighttime clenching and grinding.
Composite Fillings
Composite resins, or “white fillings”, provide good durability and resistance to fracture in small- to mid-size fillings that need to withstand moderate pressure from the constant stress of chewing. They can be used on either front or back teeth.
Inlays/ Onlays
A dental inlay fills the space in between the cusps, or rounded edges, at the center of the tooth’s surface. The dental onlay works like an inlay but covers one or more cusps or the entire biting surface of the tooth. Because of their extensive coverage, dental onlays are sometimes referred to as “partial crowns”.
Veneers
Veneers are often used on front teeth to alter the look of a tooth, such as shape, size, or colour. The tooth is prepared by creating retention grooves for the venner to adhere to. A veneer covers the facial and biting surface of a front tooth and is usually made of a hard porcelain that is very durable.
Root Canal
A root canal is a treatment to save a dead or dying tooth.. The procedure involves removing the nerve of the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting it and then filling and sealing it. The common causes of a root canal are a cracked tooth, a deep cavity, or trauma. The term “root canal” comes from cleaning of the canals inside the tooth’s root.
In office Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is the process of using a whitening gel and light to make the shade of your teeth lighten and improve the appearance of teeth. An appointment takes 45 mins to an hour and can last for years depending on the patient.
Hygiene Services
Getting your teeth cleaned is a very important step in maintaining good oral hygiene, preventing periodontal disease, and avoiding cavities. Our hygienists always go above and beyond to make sure patient comfort and optimal treatment are always achieved.
Digital X-Rays
Digital radiographs are one of the newest techniques in X-ray technology. Images are stored on the computer in the patient’s file and can be sent by email to insurance companies or other dental offices if needed. Digital x-ray technology emits about half the radiation of conventional film.
Emergency Dental Care
Like many things in life, we know that you can not plan when you break a tooth or get a toothache. That is why we do our absolute best to provide you with the most prompt emergency dental care to repair the issue or get you out of any discomfort until the issue can be resolved.
Sedation
For most people a visit to the dentist is simply a part of their normal routine, but for a significant number of people, a visit to the dentist can cause fear and anxiety. If this sounds familiar, you will be happy to know that we offer multiple types of sedation to best suit your needs and make you comfortable during treatment.
Request a Consultation
No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure.
