See what we treat

A full range of dental care.

From a regular check-up through to implants, crowns and cosmetic work, the treatments below are all carried out here on Lawrence Avenue. Every plan starts the same way: your concern is evaluated by the dentist, and the treatment plan and the fees are built from that assessment.

Everyday care

Preventive treatment

Modern dentistry focuses on prevention and minimal intervention, so we do everything possible to conserve your natural teeth. Fluoride treatments, fissure sealants for deep grooves, and mouth guards for contact sport.

Gum treatment

Comprehensive periodontal treatment to prevent and to address gum disease, with our registered dental hygienists. Where a specialist is needed we have close affiliations with gum specialists across Kitchener and Waterloo.

Fillings

A broad range of current materials: tooth coloured adhesive composite resins, glass ionomer cements, special alloys and amalgam, chosen for the tooth in front of us.

Rebuilding a tooth

Crowns and bridges

For a tooth that needs superior strength and aesthetics, a porcelain, zirconia or gold crown. Where teeth have been lost over time, a bridge can close the gap and replace them.

Dental implants

A small titanium screw placed into the bone where a tooth once stood, with a tooth attached to it like a normal crown or bridge. Also used for loose or unstable dentures.

Root canal treatment

When bacteria infects the pulp of a tooth we aim to save it rather than extract it. The canals are cleaned out, treated and sealed with gutta-percha so the tooth can be built up once more.

Appearance and comfort

Cosmetic dentistry

Whitening, and bonded composite resin or porcelain used to reshape and improve the appearance of discoloured teeth. These are also known as composite or porcelain veneers.

Dentures

A full range of denture services for both full and partial dentures, including same day repairs.

Digital x-rays and cameras

Intra-oral cameras in every operatory so you can see what we see, and digital x-ray machines that can cut radiation exposure by up to 80 percent against traditional film.

Getting started

Fewer surprises before you sit down.

The ODA fee guide

Fees for every dental procedure are based on the current fee guide published by the Ontario Dental Association, which the ODA updates each year.

Crowns in one visit

For most crowns the preparation and the cementation happen in one single day, rather than two appointments two weeks apart.

We file your claim

This is a non-assignment office, so fees are paid on the day, and as a courtesy we file your claim electronically with insurers that accept it. Many pay you back within days.

Your concern is evaluated

The dentist assesses the tooth, the number of surfaces affected and how complex the work will be, before anything is decided.
A plan, then the cost

A treatment plan is created from that assessment and the fees are calculated from it. We can send your insurer an estimate first if you would like one.
