If you grind or clench your teeth, then you should be sleeping with a night guard. A night guard is a clear plastic retainer worn at night that prevents teeth grinding by acting as a barrier between your upper and lower lines of teeth.
Sports related dental injuries ranging from tooth loss to lacerated gums to jaw fractures are common among children and adults and can have long-term consequences. Mouthguards protect against trauma to the teeth, gums, soft tissues and supporting bones.

Safe and effective professional whitening techniques

Having your teeth cleaned by our hygienists is a good way to prevent gingivitis and periodontal disease (gum disease)
X-rays help your dentist see all that is going on in your mouth. Things that can’t be seen with the naked eye, such as:
early stages of decay
infections in the bone
decay below the gum line
loss of bone due to gum disease or
the formation of baby teeth in children, can be captured through an X-ray.

Bruxism is a condition in which you grind or clench your teeth. Some people are not even aware that they do this and may unconsciously clench their teeth together during the day or at night while they are sleeping. A bruxism appliance, commonly referred to as a splint, bite-guard or nightguard is custom fabricated to fit your teeth. Depending on the type of appliance recommended, we may make a bruxism appliance or splint directly on your teeth or on a model of your teeth in the lab. Sometimes we have to send impressions or models of your teeth to a special dental laboratory for fabrication of your bruxism appliance, splint or nightguard.

Sealants are thin layers of white composite material placed in the deep grooves of the back teeth (molars). Scientific studies have proven that properly applied sealants are highly effective in protecting the tooth surfaces from caries.

Fillings are an excellent way to restore cavities, yet still give the tooth that natural look. Many materials exist to complete a filling, but the most common materials are dental amalgams (“silver filling”), and composite resins (“tooth coloured” filling). Over the past several years tooth coloured restorations have become a more popular choice for dentists and patients. However, there are some instances where a dental amalgam will outlast and outperform a tooth-coloured filling. If you have concerns about any particular filling material, please feel free to bring this up with your dentist at your next appointment.
