Family Dentistry in Brantford
When considering long-term oral health, choosing the right family dentist is a major decision. Family dentistry plays a vital role as the primary dental provider for patients of all ages, managing and maintaining your overall oral health. Regular visits to your family dentist, typically every six months or more if necessary, are essential for dental well-being.
Comprehensive General Dentistry Services
Our family dentistry in Brantford offers a wide variety of general services, ensuring that all your family’s dental needs are met under one roof.
Toothaches
A toothache is a painful sensation that indicates something is wrong with your tooth or gums. Toothaches should not be left untreated as they can become serious.
Fillings
A filling is a restoration that is used to repair a tooth that has been compromised by decay. A filling adds structure and integrity to the tooth that was lost by the decay, and in turn strengthens it.
Root Canals
Root canal treatments are another aspect of our family dentist’s expertise, addressing decay and restoring your tooth’s health. A filling adds structure and integrity to the tooth that was lost by the decay, and in turn, strengthens it.
Crowns
A dental crown is a type of restoration that encircles a tooth when the strength of the tooth is threatened by a large amount of decay. They are cemented to the tooth and can be made from a range of materials. These crowns, tailored to each patient, provide strength and stability.
Veneers
Veneers are an excellent way to improve the appearance of your teeth while also providing protection. A veneer is a “cover” that is placed directly on top of the tooth, which improves its appearance and protects it from damage.
Extractions
Whether due to decay, periodontal disease, or other reasons, our family dentists provide gentle and safe tooth extractions. An extraction is the removal of a tooth from the socket in the jaw bone. There are many reasons for tooth extractions, but the most common are decay, periodontal disease, trauma, and pain/infection associated with wisdom teeth.
Bridges
A bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces a missing tooth by “bridging the gap” between the adjacent natural teeth.
Implants
For a more permanent solution, consider dental implants. Our family dentists in Brantford expertly place these to substitute missing teeth. A dental implant is an artificial root (made of metal) that is inserted into the jaw bone to replace a missing tooth. A crown is then attached to complete the implant.
