Dental Implants

Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth when the entire root and tooth has been removed. An implant can be used to replace one tooth or many. The implant is secured in the mouth with a titanium post or screw that’s placed in the jawbone. If you don’t have the adequate bone structure to support an implant, a bone graft may be possible to remedy this issue.

After the post is placed in the jaw, you must wait four months for the bone and gums to heal. Once the post is secure, we will place a replacement tooth over the post, which mimics the size, shape, and appearance of the original tooth for a very natural-looking solution.

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and bridges are prosthetic dental devices that can help patients with missing or damaged teeth. A crown can fit over an implant or a tooth that’s been filled after a root canal. This acts as a cap over the metal post or damaged tooth, which provides added strength as well as an improved appearance.

Bridges are used to replace one or more teeth, where you have a gap in the mouth. The bridge is affixed to either your existing teeth or implants that have been placed on either side of the space. These teeth bordering the gap are referred to as abutments, while the replacement tooth or teeth in the middle are called pontics. A bridge is a permanent fixture that can only a dentist can remove.

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are used when a traditional filling is not adequate to restore your tooth. An inlay sits just inside the cusp of the tooth. Constructed from durable gold or porcelain, the inlay will give your tooth the support and strength that it needs to function properly.

An onlay is similar to an inlay, but fits over missing cusps where this part of the tooth structure no longer exists. A local anaesthetic is used for this procedure, so you should feel no pain during the process. Our staff at West Broadway Dentist will take an impression of your tooth and provide you with a custom inlay or onlay that perfectly fits your needs for the most natural smile possible.

Veneers

Veneers are thin porcelain overlays that fit on top of the teeth to correct discolouration, chips, or gaps. The veneer mimics the natural colour and appearance of your tooth, while correcting any issues you want to change in your smile. Placing veneers typically takes place over two or three visits. Our flexible scheduling and convenient location will make it easy for you to get your veneers in place as quickly as possible with West Broadway Dentist.
