All new patients undergo a complete examination including intra-oral photos to determine the state of their oral health and identify any areas of immediate or long-term concern. Medical histories are noted and records are established for future reference.
Now you can have a brighter smile and that fresh, just-cleaned feeling as often as you want. Cleaning, or scaling, removes tartar deposits (calculus) and plaque above and below the gum line to prevent periodontitis or even reverse gingivitis. Also includes intra-oral photos, periodontal chart and polishing. Time required to complete the cleaning depends on condition of the gums and the amount of tartar.
Polishing your teeth can be done between cleanings to look your best for dates, vacations, job interviews and weddings or whenever you expect to have your photograph taken.
For those with a history of excessive decay or sensitivity, our fluoride treatment helps strengthen tooth enamel and supports the remineralization process, preventing or minimizing sensitivity.
Extreme sensitivity caused by recession or abrasion can be treated with the application of a desensitizing agent that blocks the exposed dentin or root surface, reducing pain and sensitivity.
Deep pits and fissures commonly found in the back teeth (molars and premolars) can be difficult to clean out by brushing. To prevent cavities from forming there, teeth can be coated with a liquid that hardens with the application of ultra-violet light. This plastic sealant contains fluoride to prevent or delay cavities and it seals the teeth before decay begins, also making the grooves and pits shallow and easier to clean. The sealant is then checked at each follow-up appointment and touched up if necessary.
Far superior to a store-bought athletic mouth guard, a custom-fitted mouth guard can help prevent injuries in all types of sports. Because it is created from your own unique dental mould, it will be lighter, less bulky and more effective.
Our take-home whitening treatment takes as little as 30 minutes a day. It features natural soothers and conditioners to minimize plaque formation while enhancing remineralization, which helps prevent tooth sensitivity. Click here for more information.
Performed at our Independent Centres, our in-office whitening treatment requires just one session of less than 60 minutes, far shorter than other systems. It uses the fastest bleach in the world and features built-in desensitizers to minimize discomfort. Click here for more information.

What matters is not how many times a day you brush, but how you brush your teeth.
