DENTAL EXAM
A comprehensive examination where all aspects of your oral health are evaluated. We assess your vulnerability to tooth decay & gum disease and provide you with a gentle preventive screening for any early signs of oral cancer.

We also check your bite and the relationship between your upper and lower jaws, looking for any signs of disorder that could lead to more serious conditions including recurrent headaches and migraines.

Intraoral radiography is used, as necessary, for diagnosis of early interdental carious lesions and/or secondary caries at current restorations.

We demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques and coach you on how to improve and maintain your oral health.

ROOT CANALS
Root canal therapy can save a tooth that has become severely infected or decayed. When diagnosis indicates the need for a root canal treatment, our first priority is our clients' peace of mind.

Offering an extensive menu of pain-management options, our first order of business is to ensure that our clients are at-ease about the procedure. Our experts make root canal therapy as relaxing as possible.

TOOTH EXTRACTIONS
Whether it’s a wisdom tooth or a tooth that had trauma, we will do everything we can to make this treatment as painless and forgettable as possible.

Our dentists may determine that you need a tooth extraction for various reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.

The removal of a single tooth can lead to issues related to your chewing ability, your jaw joint, and shifting teeth, which may have a major impact on your dental health. To avoid these complications our dentists will discuss alternatives to extractions, as well as replacement options of the extracted tooth.

FILLINGS
Filings are made to restore the function, morphology and aesthetic of damaged tooth structure. The structural loss typically results from caries or external trauma. We use composite resin materials, which are “tooth-coloured” and are artistically built to match the exact shade and form of natural teeth.

INLAYS / ONLAYS
If you have a larger filling, or perhaps a broken cusp on a tooth, we may want to consider a porcelain inlay or onlay. These restorations are a simple and effective treatment, and in some cases are an excellent alternative to a complete porcelain crown.

At American Smile we offer inlays and onlays if you have damage or tooth decay within the cusp of a tooth. An inlay is used similarly to a traditional filling, but looks much more genuine. An onlay is necessary for a significant reconstruction, where it extends out over one or more cusps of the tooth. Often, inlays may replace traditional fillings that failed or fell out, since they are more durable.

CROWNS
A crown is required to restore lost or weakened tooth structure and reproduce its natural form, shade and function. There are several types of materials to produce crowns like porcelain, eMax, resin, and metals. In general, crowns reinforced by certain substructures like zirconia tend to have a long life expectancy, especially if correctly indicated and produced.
