Fillings: advanced laser technology for enhanced comfort
Require a filling and dread having your mouth frozen? SOLEA laser technology can eliminate the need for freezing during procedures for certain types of fillings. This creates a more seamless and nearly pain-free experience for you.
Root Canals: saving teeth, preserving smiles
Endodontic therapy, commonly known as root canals, is a vital procedure aimed at saving natural teeth that have become infected or severely damaged. Root canals maintain the integrity of your smile and overall oral health. By removing infected or damaged tissue, they provide relief from tooth pain and discomfort.
Treating infected teeth promptly helps prevent the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and tissues.
Our experienced dentists utilize advanced technology such as the Zeiss surgical and dental microscopes. These magnification tools enhance the precision and clarity of root canal procedures, ensuring minimal discomfort and optimal outcomes for you.
Frequently asked questions about General Dentistry
What is general dentistry?
General dentistry encompasses a broad range of dental services that focus on preventing, diagnosing and treating oral health issues. These services include preventative care, oral examinations, dental fillings, gum disease treatment, root canal therapy, extractions, dental cleanings, oral health counselling and more.
What is the difference between general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry?
General dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health and treating a wide range of dental conditions. Cosmetic dentistry, on the other hand, primarily aims to improve the aesthetics of your smile. Some procedures offered in general dentistry, such as veneers, can have both functional and cosmetic benefits.
How often should I visit the dentist for routine checkups?
Regular checkups are crucial for maintaining good oral health. Typically, dentists recommend visiting for a checkup and cleaning every six months. However, your individual needs may vary depending on your dental history and risk factors.
Are root canals painful?
Root canals (aka endodontic therapy) are often performed to alleviate tooth pain caused by infection or damage. Contrary to popular belief, a root canal is not inherently painful. Modern advancements in dental technology and anesthesia make these procedures no more uncomfortable than getting a dental filling.
