 Cleaning

It is recommended you visit your dentist every six months in order to maintain proper oral health. A dental examination followed by a dental cleaning allows your dentist to detect problems and instruct you on how to prevent them. During your preventative appointment, our team will remove plaque, clean and polish your teeth.

Remember to brush your teeth 2-3 times a day, floss at least once a day, brush your tongue and floss under your bridge or your braces. Poor oral health can lead to tooth decay, gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) and bad breath (halitosis).

x-rays

  X-Rays

Radiography is an indispensable diagnostic tool. It allows the dentist to propose an appropriate treatment plan in conjunction with the findings from the oral examination. In addition during the first visit, the dentist will take a panoramic radiograph as part of the comprehensive assessment of the teeth, sinuses and supporting structures.

Digital radiology, which is used at Centre Dentaire La Perla makes it possible to acquire precise images while minimizing exposure to radiation compared to traditional X-rays.

Dental X-rays are a useful diagnostic tool when helping your dentist detect damage and disease not visible during a regular dental exam.

restorations

 Restorations

A dental restoration is required to restore the function, integrity and morphology of missing tooth structure that has been affected by caries, wear, trauma or fracture. At Centre Dentaire La Perla, restorative options may range from a composite filling, a crown on a natural tooth or implant as well as a bridge to replace an edentulous site. During the initial examination or consultation, our healthcare professionals will gather all the necessary information to determine which restorative solutions will be suitable for you.

gum
therapy

  Gum Therapy

Your teeth are supported by bone and surrounded by gums. When plaque and tartar are left to accumulate on teeth due to poor oral hygiene, an inflammatory process begins leading to gum disease. Other factors like smoking or diabetes can also contribute to periodontal disease.

Gum Therapy is a broad term for a number of procedures that can help rid a person of plaque and painful symptoms. A dentist may use several methods for treating gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis, the inflammation of the gums can be treated with a regular dental scaling and proper oral hygiene instruction. When left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis which is the inflammation of gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Without intervention, this will result in loss of bone and eventual tooth loss. Bleeding gums, bad breath, recession, and inflammation can all be signs of gum disease. The treatment that the dentist uses depends on the level of disease and infection that the patient currently has. An extensive examination will disclose the type of intervention that the dental specialist will have to use.

GUM THERAPY is vital

Do you have bleeding gums, bad breath, recession , inflammation? You may be suffering from gum disease.

wide range of FILLINGS

If you have a cavity, several dental filling materials are available.
fillings

 Fillings

Composite resin filling
Composite resin is a material used to seal and restore teeth. Its main advantage? The composite mimics the whitish color of the teeth almost perfectly, giving it a much more natural appearance than its silver amalgam ancestor. Durable, the composite resin filling is applied and shaped during a simple and short intervention. The composite resin is cured with a light, and then adjusted and polished.

Amalgam filling
Used in dentistry for more than a century, amalgam is mainly composed of a mixture of silver, tin and copper. This mixture produces a silver gray “paste” which, once set up, hardens.

Less aesthetic than composite resin, the amalgam still offers great strength and excellent durability.

Ceramic inlay
Ceramic inlay is also an interesting solution for caries repair. More durable than composite fillings, it produces a very aesthetic result. Closer to the enamel of a natural tooth, it restores its initial strength to the repaired tooth. For this reason, ceramic encrustation is often recommended for deep decay or when several tooth surfaces are missing.

root
canal

Root Canal

Endodontic treatment is necessary when the dental pulp is infected. The goal of the intervention is to save the tooth. A severe toothache, lingering pain to hot or cold temperatures, an unexplained discolouration of the tooth, pain that wakes you up at night and swelling and tenderness of the nearby gums can all be symptoms.

Other situations that require endodontic treatment:

Severe caries that reach the center of the tooth (pulp)

Broken tooth exposing the pulp

Pulp vulnerable due to multiple interventions

Trauma to the tooth

endodontic treatment

Saving the natural tooth with root canal treatment has many advantages, find out more by visiting us

Discover IMPLANTS

An alternative to bridges, partials or complete dentures may be dental implants. Consult Dr. Tucci to discuss your options.
implants

 Implants

An implant is a small screw made from a biocompatible material (titanium) that can replace the tooth root after its loss. Once firmly anchored in the bone structure of the jaw, a replacement tooth (crown) can be attached to the implant. The implant is the option of choice to replace one or more missing teeth.

Here are some of its benefits:

Improves function (chewing and speech)

Increases comfort, especially during chewing

Preserves the bone of the jaw, thus avoiding bone resorption

If you are interested in implantology, do not hesitate to call Centre Dentaire La Perla for a consultation. It is with great pleasure that we will conduct an assessment to enlighten you on your condition.

crowns
bridges

 Crowns & Bridges

A crown is a type of restoration, usually made out of porcelain, metal or zirconium which caps and protects your tooth. In order to create space for a crown the dentist will reduce all surfaces of the tooth. The final step consists of cementing the crown into place.

Situations that may require the installation of a crown:

Heavily restored tooth

Fractured or decayed tooth

Discolouration or improperly shaped tooth

Restoration following a root canal

The fixed bridge usually consists of one or more artificial teeth fixed between two teeth / crowns, so as to fill the gap of the edentulous zone.

Here are the advantages of the dental bridge:

Cover an unsightly space

Avoid premature tooth wear

Improve chewing and speech

Prevent the migration of natural teeth

Restore your SMILE

We offer dental crowns and dental bridges to help restore your smile!
