Invisalign

Crowded/ misaligned or spaced teeth lead to several problems including gum diseases, tooth decay, an improper bite, speech or chewing difficulties, jaw problems, and increased wear on the tooth enamel. Tooth decay and gum disease are caused by bacteria. Left untreated, they can cause mouth sores, tender or bleeding gums, bad breath, and possible tooth loss.
Studies by the American Dental Association have shown that oral infections can also lead to other more serious ailments such as heart disease, stroke, pneumonia and diabetes. Invisalign aligners will correct the bite and alignment of teeth, thus eliminating all of the above potential problems in addition to leaving you with a dazzling and confident smile!!

Dental Implants

A dental implant is an artificial root made of titanium metal. It is inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of the natural tooth. An artificial replacement tooth is attached to the implant. The implant acts as an anchor to hold the replacement tooth in place.

During the first stage of surgery, your dentist or specialist will put a dental implant into your jawbone beneath the gum tissue. The gum tissue is then stitched back into place. As the tissue heals, the implant will bond with the bone and attach to the gum. It can take several months to heal. An implant can support a single tooth crown or in case of multiple missing teeth, implants can support a bridge or even a denture. We at Bloor Smile Dental, have started providing this service on a case by case basis. Call to see if you are eligible for the same. Even if your situation has advanced needs, we will refer you to a suitable specialist who will take care of all your needs.

Bridges & Crowns

Crowns: A crown, simply called a “cap” is exactly that! It covers or encompasses a heavily restored tooth or root canal treated tooth or a severely worn down tooth. Crowns can sometimes be placed for aesthetic reasons to close spaces or cover discolored teeth. Crowns can be metallic ( gold or silver in color), porcelain or porcelain bonded to metal

Bridge: Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap (these two or more anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth) and false in between teeth ( called Pontics) to replace the missing teeth. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants. Like crowns, bridges can be metallic, porcelain or a combination.

Endodontic Treatment

Inside the tooth, under the white enamel and the next hard layer called the dentin, is a soft tissue called the pulp. The pulp contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue and helps build the tooth during development. The pulp extends from the crown of the tooth to the tip of the roots through a hollow channel called the root canal, where it connects to the tissues surrounding the root.
Root Canal treatment is necessary when the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected. Inflammation or infection maybe due to a deep cavity, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth. A blunt injury to a tooth may also cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible fracture. If pulp inflammation or is left untreated, it can cause throbbing pain or an abscess.
As against popular belief, root canals are not painful. They might need a longer mouth opening than routine fillings and sometimes may need multiple sessions. When root canals are very skinny or curved and difficult to negotiate, referral to an endodontist may be necessary.
A root canal treated tooth, depending on the amount of tooth structure lost, and also since it is more brittle might need a post and a crown placed on it to keep the tooth structure reinforced.

Zoom Whitening

“Give patients the white smile of their dreams”! Is the tag line that Zoom offers on their website.
Our Bloor West Dental Services include Teeth Whitening using Philips Zoom.
Zoom is a bleaching process used to lighten discoloration of enamel and dentin. Discolouration of teeth may result from drinking coffee, tea (especially certain green teas) and red wine; or from smoking. The aging process also can stain and darken your teeth ( from the enamel wearing off and the inner yellow dentin showing through).
The Zoom in-office tooth whitening procedure uses the Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp – said to accelerate the bleaching process – to activate the 25 percent hydrogen peroxide whitening. As the hydrogen peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin to bleach the stained substances, leaving the structure of the tooth unchanged. It is necessary for a dentist to examine your teeth before a bleach to determine if you are a suitable candidate with healthy teeth and gums, your sensitivity status, whether you have any large restorations on your front teeth and your initial shade.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is the practice of dentistry that deals with treatments that enhance the appearance of a person’s smile. A beautiful smile is both healthy and pleasing to the beholder. Possessing that healthy and attractive smile is something that will probably give all of us the most satisfaction.

Our team of dentists is qualified and has a long experience of providing cosmetic dental procedures to patients.

These dental procedures help transform a dull smile into a healthy and glowing smile.

A cosmetic dental procedure could involve straightening teeth, improving the alignment of teeth, removing undesirable spaces between teeth, Improving the whiteness of discolored teeth, and repairing broken or cracked teeth. In sum, the improvement of smile aesthetics.

Cleanings and Exams

At Bloor Smile Dental, in the list of Bloor West Dental Services offered, we also offer dental cleanings for our patients.

Professional cleanings are done to remove the buildup of plaque and tartar from your teeth. Once the plaque and tartar are removed, your teeth are polished. If needed, fluoride is applied to your teeth. This process of professional cleaning additionally helps with the preservation of any teeth that have been previously restored.

This periodic professional cleaning done by our hygienists allows our dentists to look closely at your teeth periodically. This ‘close look’ is a thorough examination that helps pick any dental issues that need to be addressed. Equally importantly, this examination helps the dentist catch any minor issues before they become more significant problems.

Periodic dental exams that incorporate professional teeth cleaning are foundational in preventive dentistry. Our focus is on minimizing or avoiding oral health issues.

If a dental cleaning is due or you feel that you need professional dental cleaning, don’t hesitate to contact us today at 416-604-4009.
