Restorative dentistry in Lower Sackville
Sometimes, despite your best efforts, healthy teeth get damaged—sometimes by decay, sometimes by injury. Either way, we have the skills and experience to bring your teeth back to the way you want them to look and function.
Endodontics
An endodontic treatment involves removing the inner pulp of a tooth. More commonly known as a root canal, this process can help save a very damaged or infected tooth—and help prevent a future infection, too. Though it sounds like an intense procedure, it’s very routine, and thanks to local anesthetic, completely painless.
Fillings
If you have a cavity, we use a filling—made of a strong, durable, and tooth-coloured composite resin—to treat it. Fillings are about more than just restoring the way your tooth should look and function. It will also help prevent further decay and damage to the tooth.
Crowns
Think of a crown as a cap for a tooth that’s too badly damaged to be restored with a filling. A crown is a tooth-coloured composite prosthetic that we bond to the top of your natural tooth using a special, permanent dental cement.
Periodontics
Periodontal services include tooth extraction, scaling, root planing, and gum grafting. The goal of periodontal work is to either treat or prevent problems that can affect the health of your gums and jawbone—the support structures of healthy teeth.
