Dental Implants

Dental Implant Services in Markham and North York

A beautiful smile improves your appearance and gives an instant boost to your sense of confidence and self-esteem. St. Joseph Dental Clinic offers many dental implant treatments to enhance your smile:

Crowns & Bridges

When a tooth is broken, worn, decayed around the gumline, a crown can be customized to cover and protect the natural tooth. Porcelain crowns are the preferred choice at St. Joseph Dental Clinic due to their resilience and appearance (they mimic the translucency of natural teeth).

Crowns or Partial Crowns

Crowns or partial crowns, also referred to as onlays, are required when there is insufficient tooth strength to hold a filling. An impression is taken of your natural tooth so that the lab technician can create a crown that is sculpted to match your bite and jaw movements. This ensures that your bite and jaw movements function normally once the crown is placed.

Dental Bridge

A bridge is an option to replace a missing tooth or teeth, to help maintain the shape of your face, your bite and the look of your smile. Different materials can be used, but again, porcelain is often the preferred choice for its appearance and strength. The bridge is bonded to surrounding teeth for support, so the health of surrounding teeth, gums and bone is critical to the success of the bridge.

If a crown or a bridge is a possible solution for you, give us a call to schedule an appointment to review your options.

Veneers

You no longer need to hide your smile because of gaps, chips, stains or misshapen teeth. Made of porcelain, custom-fitted and matched to the exact shade of your teeth, veneers can cover stains and repair chipped or crooked teeth. Thanks to the technology behind veneers, we can correct your teeth’s imperfections to help you have a more natural, confident, beautiful smile.

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made from tooth-coloured materials, most commonly porcelain, designed to cover the front side of your teeth. To prepare for veneers, your doctor will create a unique model of your teeth, which is sent to a dental technician to create your veneers. Your teeth may also need to be conservatively prepared to ensure you achieve your desired aesthetic result.

First, a mold is made of your teeth. When your veneers are ready, the front of your natural teeth are prepared and the veneers are placed. Veneers are stain-resistant, but to maintain their look, it’s best to avoid coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco, just like your natural teeth.

After your veneers are placed, you’ll be pleased to see that they look like your natural teeth. While veneers are stain-resistant, your doctor may recommend that you avoid coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco to maintain the beauty of your new smile.

Dentures

St. Joseph Dental Clinic prides itself on providing personalized denture services that continue to exceed the needs and comfort levels of our patients.

Crowns or Partial Crowns

Dentures are natural-looking, removable replacement teeth. However, not all dentures are made equally.

  • Full dentures are given to patients when all of their natural teeth have been removed.
  • Partial dentures are attached to a metal frame that is connected to your surrounding natural teeth and are used to fill in where permanent teeth have been removed.

Dental Bridge

Dentures, just like natural teeth, require daily maintenance to stay clean and keep bacteria from growing inside of your mouth:

  • Always handle your dentures over a clean, folded towel or a sink full of water to limit the chances of breaking them accidently.
  • When brushing your dentures, make sure to use a soft-bristled brush and gently brush the surfaces of the dentures, rinsing them after each meal.
  • We recommended that you use a mild hand or dish soap to clean your dentures. Talk with your dentist to find out which products may be best for you.
  • Be sure to floss and use a soft-bristled brush to gently clean your gums and tongue every day.
