Our approach to Dental Services
Dental Services should never feel like a mystery. We look at the full picture, talk through what we see, and make a plan together. For many new patients, the first visit includes up to an hour with the doctor so you have time to share your history, ask questions, and understand your options. Then our front desk team helps map the timing of next steps so you know what happens first, what can wait, and what might be optional.
We also keep technology practical. Digital forms, digital X-rays, and text-friendly communication can make care easier without making it complicated. If your care would be stronger with a specialist involved, we coordinate that referral and keep your treatment connected.
Where to start if you are not sure
A lot of people are not sure what they need, especially if it has been a while. Here are three simple starting points:
- You are due for care but do not have a specific problem. Start with an exam and a professional cleaning.
- Something feels off, painful, loose, or broken. Start with an exam and tell us what you are feeling.
- You want to improve how your smile looks. Start with a cosmetic consult so we can talk about your goals and what is realistic.
If you are unsure, call or text us. We can help you choose the right next step.
Preventive care: the basics that protect your smile
Preventive care is the foundation for everything else. It helps you avoid surprises and keep small problems from becoming bigger ones. Our preventive services include examinations, professional cleaning, sealants, digital radiographs, and support for gum health.
Preventive care: the basics that protect your smile
Preventive care is the foundation for everything else. It helps you avoid surprises and keep small problems from becoming bigger ones. Our preventive services include examinations, professional cleaning, sealants, digital X-rays, and support for gum health.
Examinations
Regular examinations give you a clear picture of your oral health. During an exam we check your teeth, gums, and bite, talk through symptoms you may have noticed, and review any changes in your health. If we see something that needs attention, we explain it in plain terms and talk through options.
A helpful mindset is this: the goal is not to find problems, it is to prevent problems. Even when we do find an issue, catching it early can keep treatment simpler.
Professional cleaning
Professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can miss. It also gives you a regular checkpoint for gum health and home care habits. We keep the experience as comfortable as we can, and we will talk with you about what we are doing and why. If you have sensitivity, tell us. Small adjustments can make a big difference.
Digital radiographs
Digital radiographs help us see what is hard to see with the naked eye. They support better planning and more confident decision-making, especially when we are evaluating older fillings, tooth structure, and bone levels. If you have questions about how often you need radiographs, we can explain what we recommend and why.
Sealants
Sealants help protect teeth that have deep grooves that can be hard to clean well. They are often used for children and teens, but some adults benefit as well. We can tell you if sealants are a good fit during an exam.
Gum health and gum disease care
Healthy gums support healthy teeth. If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, feel sore, or look swollen, it is worth talking about. We offer care for gum disease and can discuss home care steps that reduce irritation and support healing.
If you want general, patient-friendly education between visits, the ADA’s MouthHealthy site has a helpful dental health topics A to Z guide.
Restorative dentistry in Scarborough
If you have a toothache, a broken filling, or missing teeth, restorative dentistry can help you eat and smile with more confidence. Our restorative dentistry options include fillings, crowns, bridges, and dental implant restorations in partnership with trusted oral surgeons. We also provide implant-retained dentures and implant-supported hybrid prostheses, so we can discuss ways to replace teeth and protect your bite. You can read more on our Restorative Dentistry page.
Fillings
A filling restores a tooth that has been damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. The goal is to remove the damaged area, clean the space, and rebuild the tooth so it can function normally again. If you have a chipped area, new sensitivity, or pain when you chew, a filling may be one of the options we consider after an exam.
Crowns
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns are often used when a tooth needs more protection than a filling can provide. If a tooth has a large old filling, cracks, or significant wear, a crown can help restore strength and shape. We will explain the recommendation clearly so you understand what the crown is meant to do for your tooth.
Bridges
A bridge can replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to nearby teeth. It can help you chew more comfortably and reduce shifting that can happen after a tooth is lost. Bridges are not the right option for every situation, but they can be a strong choice depending on the health of the supporting teeth and your goals.
Dental implants and implant restorations
Dental implants are a common option for replacing missing teeth. In many cases, implant placement is coordinated with a trusted oral surgeon, and we work together as a team to plan and restore your smile. If you are considering implants, we will talk about steps, timing, and maintenance in simple terms so you can decide with confidence.
For general education, the ADA’s MouthHealthy site also provides a clear overview of Dental Implants.
Implant-retained dentures and implant-supported hybrid prosthesis
When several teeth are missing, you may want more stability than traditional dentures can provide. Implant-retained dentures and implant-supported hybrid prostheses are two options that can offer added security and comfort. These options are not one size fits all, so we start with your goals, your health history, and what will be realistic, then coordinate with specialists as needed.
When we refer and why
Sometimes the best treatment involves a specialist. We coordinate with oral surgeons, periodontists, orthodontists, and others when that improves outcomes and keeps your care on track. Common reasons for referrals include root canals, implant placement, periodontal treatment, complex pediatrics, and orthodontics.
When a referral is needed, we help coordinate the process, share records, and stay involved so you are not left managing it alone.
Cosmetic dentistry in Scarborough
Cosmetic care focuses on how your teeth look when you talk, laugh, and smile. Common options include veneers, bonding, and professional whitening.
Preventive visits are the base that supports everything else we do. Regular examinations, professional cleanings, sealants, and digital x rays help us catch problems early and support gum health.
You can learn more about home care through ADA preventive care resources. For more detail you can visit our Cosmetic Dentistry page or use the Contact Us page to request an appointment.
Whitening
Tooth whitening is a popular way to brighten a smile. We can talk through how whitening works, what results tend to be realistic, and whether there are any reasons to wait until other care is complete.
Veneers
Veneers can change the shape, color, and overall look of the front surface of a tooth. They can be a good option for teeth with significant discoloration, uneven edges, or spacing concerns. We will talk through whether veneers are a fit for your goals and what the process looks like.
Bonding
Bonding uses tooth-colored material to repair chips, close small gaps, and refine edges. In many situations, bonding can be a more conservative option than other cosmetic treatments. We can tell you what bonding can accomplish and how to care for it.
Insurance, forms, and payments
We want the practical side of dentistry to feel simple, too. If you have dental insurance, our team can help you navigate coverage so you can focus on care. If you are coming in for the first time, completing forms in advance can make your visit smoother.
For payments, the practice notes that it accepts common payment methods, and you can call the office to discuss payment options or insurance coverage.
What to expect at your first visit
We aim for a first visit that feels calm and organized. You can expect a conversation, an exam, and simple next steps. If your situation is complex, we may recommend a phased plan so you can address what matters most first. We will explain what we recommend and why, and we will leave room for questions.
If you have a question before you come in, call or text us. If you prefer, you can also reach out through Contact Us.
