Complete Dental Care from A to Z
Protect the natural lifespan of your teeth and preserve good oral health with regular dental care. Routine visits to your dentist and timely intervention at the first sign of decay can help you avoid pain, discomfort, and unexpected costs. If your teeth, gums, or overall oral health are causing issues, restorative dental care will get you back on track and restore comfort. General dentistry prioritizes your overall health. Here are some of the outcomes you can expect from preventative and restorative care:
- Thoroughly cleaned teeth that naturally look whiter without whitening procedures.
- X-rays that catch issues early, preventing them from escalating.
- Healthy, irritation-free gums that don’t bleed.
- Composite fillings designed to stop cavities from progressing.
- Reduced sensitivity to temperature from hot or cold foods.
- Prevention and reversal of tooth decay.
- Longer-lasting prosthetics and dental appliances.
Preventative Care:
- Preserve your natural tooth by addressing infections.
- Replace missing teeth with realistic, natural-looking alternatives.
- Repair and restore damaged teeth to a near-original state.
- Custom-designed prosthetics and dental appliances tailored to your needs.
- Enhanced ability to chew, improved sleep, and a better overall quality of life.

Our General Dentistry services
Composite Fillings
Composite fillings are designed to address cavities by filling them with a tooth-coloured material. These white fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, effectively preventing further damage and maintaining a natural appearance.
Dental Bridges
Fill the gap in your smile with a custom dental bridge, designed to blend in naturally and stay securely in place.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are key to restorative dentistry, enhancing the strength, appearance, and durability of teeth for a healthier smile.
Dental Extractions
Extraction of a tooth or teeth is a common procedure that can be carried out with minimal pain or discomfort.
Dental Implants
Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots and are completed with restorations like dental crowns. This approach restores the function of your teeth, enhances your smile, and provides a natural look and feel.
Dentures
Obtain new dentures or maintain and repair your full or partial dentures. These advanced dental prostheses can replace several or all of your teeth with minimal discomfort.
Root Canal
Root canals can be precise, quick, and relatively pain-free, providing immediate relief and preserving your natural tooth.
Same-Day Crowns
Get your custom crown designed, crafted, and placed—all in a single appointment with no need for a temporary crown.
Teeth Cleanings
Our dental clinic in Kanata offers comprehensive teeth cleaning services tailored to your needs. Our skilled dental hygienists use advanced techniques to remove plaque and tartar buildup, helping to keep your smile healthy and bright. Regular cleanings not only protect your teeth and gums but also contribute to your overall well-being.
The Importance of Early Intervention and Routine Care
As the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Our goal is to make sure you keep smiling. Your health is our top priority, and our approach to routine care and early intervention is driven by genuine care for your well-being. Taking care of your teeth, gums, jaw, and tongue now, and addressing issues as soon as they arise, means less discomfort, pain, and unexpected costs in the future. That’s what helps keep our patients happy and healthy.
Keep Your Natural Teeth for Longer
Did you know that cavities are the leading cause of tooth loss in younger adults, while gum disease is the most common cause in older adults? Maintaining good oral hygiene at home is essential for keeping your mouth strong and healthy. During your routine checkup, we can spot the early signs of gum disease and tooth decay and take action before they worsen.
Save Your Money
Routine cleanings and exams are cost-effective and predictable, making them easy to fit into your budget. Treatments for early tooth decay, like composite fillings, are also relatively affordable and provide long-term value. In contrast, more complex procedures for advanced dental issues often come with significantly higher costs.
Don’t Even Think About It
The best thing about having excellent oral health is that you don’t have to think about it. No toothaches, no swelling, and no worrying about what to eat. You won’t feel self-conscious about your smile, and your teeth will stay comfortable and reliable. Well-maintained teeth are naturally beautiful, and they let you enjoy life to the fullest without distraction.

Frequently Asked Questions
A routine dental check-up involves both a professional teeth cleaning and a comprehensive exam. Regular cleanings help eliminate plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing alone can’t remove. This also allows the dental team to closely monitor your oral health and keep an eye on any areas that may require attention.
Leftover food particles, especially those stuck in hard-to-reach areas, create a breeding ground for bacteria in your mouth. These bacteria produce acidic byproducts that weaken the enamel on your teeth. A diet high in sugar or acidic foods and drinks like soda and coffee can speed up the decay process.
Genetics can play a significant role in how prone someone is to cavities. Some individuals are naturally more susceptible to cavity-causing bacteria, or their teeth may be crowded, making it harder to clean them effectively. The key to avoiding cavities is maintaining great oral hygiene and good eating habits.
Yes. Fillings help to stop the decay from advancing, preventing future pain or complications. It’s always best to address the issue early when it’s still manageable.
Tooth decay can often be prevented or even reversed with routine care. Early signs of decay can be treated with fluoride or composite fillings. If the tooth becomes infected, a root canal can save it. For severely decayed teeth, a crown or veneer may restore its function and appearance. In extreme cases, extraction may be necessary, and an implant or bridge can replace the missing tooth.
Routine cleanings and check-ups are safe and recommended during pregnancy. These appointments are essential for preventing infections and addressing any dental concerns that may occur. However, if an emergency arises, more extensive treatments like root canals may be required. It’s best to delay elective procedures, such as teeth whitening, until after your baby is born.
