If you have small children, they will need regular dental exams and X-rays to determine if there are any dental problems present. Small children also benefit from regular professional cleanings and fluoride treatments.
As your children become older, preventive sealants are an important step to protect against tooth decay. Recommended ages for sealants are between 5 years and 7 years for first permanent molars, and between 11 years and 14 years for second permanent molars.
Teens and adults may also benefit from Invisalign orthodontic treatment to help straighten teeth and correct poor jaw alignment. Teens and adults may also need dental fillings and our dentists provide white, tooth-coloured fillings that are designed to blend in with your smile.
Adults and seniors may need a variety of services because as we age, our smiles age too. Crowns, dental bridges, implants, root canals and many other procedures are available.
