Restorative Dentistry
Basic Restorative Dentistry At Your Dentist Chilliwack, BC
Restorative dentistry includes filling cavities, doing root canals, working to repair chipped or damaged teeth, tooth extractions, installing veneers (or permanent artificial teeth as they are often called), and any and all other procedures to restore your teeth to their original condition as needed.
Sedation Dentistry
We understand that visits to the dentist and undergoing dental procedures can be traumatic for some people. We offer sedation dentistry in Chilliwack (also known as sleep dentistry) and it’s a nice option for those who’ll feel much more comfortable being ‘under’ during their dental procedure. Sedation dentistry is most commonly used for more advanced, invasive and time consuming dental procedures, but we’re happy to discuss the option with you related to your specific condition and proposed course of treatment.
Sedation dentistry is recommended for anyone with:
- Phobias related to dental procedures
- Bad experiences with dental work in the past
- Particularly sensitive oral nerves
- A small mouth that becomes sore during dental work
- Any type of resistance to local anesthetic
- Conditions related to a general anxiety disorder
Lastly, keep in mind that your dentist will conduct a detailed analysis before selecting and administering a dosage that will be safe and effective for you. He or she will also monitor you during the entire time you’re sedated to ensure both your safety and your entire comfort during the procedure.
Dental Implants
In the past, losing a tooth meant resigning yourself to an artificial one that’s inserted into your mouth and held temporarily in place by a retainer. Today, that’s no longer true. Dental implant technology makes it possible to quickly and nearly painlessly install a new, artificial yet very real-looking implant tooth anywhere in your mouth. The implant is affixed permanently and very securely into your jawbone, and with that, it’s every bit a 100% serviceable replacement that looks like a real tooth.
Teeth can become knocked out or irreparably damaged all too easily, but we can restore your smile with one or more dental implants. Should misfortune occur, come see us as soon as you can for dental implants in Chilliwack.
If you have missing teeth, you might want to consider dental implants as replacements. Unlike crowns and bridges that must be replaced over time, dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement solution.
Why Should Teeth Be Replaced?
If you have gaps in your teeth, the surrounding teeth can easily move out of place. This misalignment leads to crooked teeth but also affects your biting function, causing chipping and cracking of the teeth.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a titanium post that is attached permanently to the jawbone and functions like the tooth root. An abutment is attached to the metal post and sticks out above the gumline to hold the replacement tooth in place.
