Sealants
ButtonSealants protect your child’s teeth from decay. Sealants are placed on the biting surfaces of premolars and molars to seal the grooves and pits of the teeth. The teeth are prepped for the sealant application and the sealant is painted directly on the chewing surface of the teeth and then hardens. Sealants are applied in one visit.

Restorative Dentistry
Restorative Dentistry is essentially a catch-all phrase that describes the art of restoring damaged and lost teeth. Modern dentistry has made it possible for our doctors to fix teeth in a natural way, without use of any visible metal restorative materials.
White Composite Fillings
ButtonIn terms of fillings, our doctors generally place white composite fillings which look most natural, are mercury free and comfortable for you.
Inlays and Onlays

Crowns
ButtonIf the damage to your tooth is more extensive, our doctors choose to protect a tooth by covering it with a porcelain crown, also known as a cap. This protection distributes stress to the tooth in a more favorable manner, which in turn makes it stronger and more long-lasting.
Bridges and Implant Crowns
ButtonIf you have a missing tooth or teeth, our doctors might suggest a dental bridge. For a long time, bridges were one of dentistry’s few solutions for a missing tooth. Our doctors are experts at restoring your mouth to its proper alignment and your smile to its natural brilliance.

Scaling and Root Planning
Button- Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical procedure used to treat gum disease. During the scaling process, specialized dental instruments are used to remove dental plaque and calculus from beneath the gums. Planing is the procedure used to smooth the tooth’s root after the scaling process. Root planing helps the gums heal and reattach themselves to a cleaner and smoother root surface.

Extractions and Wisdom Teeth
Button- Third molars, commonly referred to as wisdom teeth, are usually the last four of 32 teeth to erupt (surface) in the mouth, generally making their appearance between the ages of 17 to 25. They are located at the back of the mouth (top and bottom), near the entrance to the throat. The term “wisdom” stems from the idea that the molars surface at a time typically associated with increased maturity or “wisdom”.

Button- In most cases, inadequate space in the mouth does not allow the wisdom teeth to erupt properly and become fully functional. When this happens, the tooth can become impacted (stuck) in an undesirable or potentially harmful position. If left untreated, impacted wisdom teeth can contribute to infection, damage to other teeth, and possibly cysts or tumors.

Button- Partial Bony Impaction: The tooth has partially erupted, but a portion of the crown remains submerged below the gum and surrounding jawbone. Again, because it is difficult to keep the area clean, infection will commonly occur.

ButtonReasons for removal of wisdom teeth
Invisalign is the Clear Alternative to Braces.
Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every week until your treatment is complete. You’ll achieve a great smile with little interference in your daily life. The best part about the whole process is that most people won’t even know you’re straightening your teeth.

Invisalign:
Have you ever experienced any of the following symptoms?
- Inserting your trays: start by lining up the trays with your front teeth, then push the tray up/down with gentle force in the middle, then left and right sides.
- Remove the trays by using your thumb or index finger from THE opposite hand of the side you want to remove (Ex: use your right thumb to pop out the lower tray from the left side).
- *continue to pop out the tray tooth by tooth, and pull the tray up and towards your cheek to release pressure and remove the trays. For the upper tray, do the same but pull down instead
- *stuck on one side? try the opposite side of the tray
- wear trays 20-22 Hours a day to stay on track! Failure to wear to trays will lengthen the estimated treatment time
- if you can, eat with the trays on! this can speed up the movement process and help you stay on track
- Changing your trays every week is recommended. If you can eat with the trays on, you are welcome to change it sooner than 7 days if comfortable ( every 5 days)
- We recommend that you change your trays at night before going to bed; it makes it easier to bear with discomfort (if any)

How Allergies are related to OSA
Allergens such as mold, dust, dander, and pollen can flare up our sinuses causing congestion, mouth breathing, watery eyes, and excess phlegm, impacting our breathing! When we lie down to sleep, phlegm can clog up our nose and airway, causing snoring. Combined with the relaxation of the tongue towards the back of your throat, this can lead to pauses in your breathing, resulting in sleep apnea!
So, how can we manage this? By taking proactive steps to care for our airway! Noticing what triggers our allergies, we can take action by using allergy medication, flushing our sinuses, applying Breathe Right strips, and utilizing steam treatments (ie. Humidifier) to ain in clearing up the airway. By incorporating these strategies, we can reduce the chances of sleep apnea impacting our health!
