Gum Grafting

Gum grafting is a procedure used when a patient has a gum line that is thinning or receding. Gum recession is gradual, so you may not notice until the root of your tooth is exposed, causing sensitivity to hot and cold. Gum grafting is a minor corrective surgery that can protect your teeth long-term and provide a cosmetic enhancement to your smile. Most patients heal very quickly from this treatment and experience lasting results.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are a technique used to protect teeth from plaque build-up and eventual decay. The application is quick and painless and is often recommended by our dental care team for children and for those with mild tooth decay. Toothbrush bristles have a difficult time reaching between the grooves of molars. Sealants use a thin plastic film applied over those grooves, allowing food particles to be brushed away more easily. Our dental care team recommends considering dental sealants for children between the ages of 5-7 when the first molars come in and again at 11-14 when the second molars arrive.

Dental X-Rays

The use of dental x-rays is vital to monitoring your oral health. X-rays allow us to see conditions that are not visible to our eyes during the examination, such as impacted teeth, cysts, or even tumours. We recommend all new patients have a full set of x-rays taken so that we have a reference point for future dental needs or changes. Children often require more frequent x-rays due to the continued development of their mouth and teeth. We follow all safety procedures and use modern technology in all our procedures; if you have questions or concerns about x-rays, contact our office directly for more information.
