Dental Crowns
Crowns are porcelain caps that are placed on top of teeth to restore their function and appearance. Crowns can be used to attach bridges, cover dental implants or prevent a damaged tooth from becoming worse. They can also help to restore the appearance of a discoloured or stained tooth.
Dental Bridges
Bridges are natural-looking tooth replacements that are bonded to existing teeth or dental implants to replace a section of missing teeth. Because they are custom-made, bridges are barely noticeable and can restore the natural contour of teeth and the bite between upper and lower teeth.
Periodontal (Gum) Therapy
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues of the mouth, which can include the gums, gingiva, alveolar bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament. If gum disease is detected in the early stages, preventive therapy will be recommended. Otherwise, treatment methods will depend on the type and severity of the disease.
Full & Partial Dentures
Dentures are artificial teeth designed to replace one missing tooth or several in a row (partial dentures), or a whole jaw of missing teeth (full dentures). These versatile tooth replacement options help patients with missing teeth to maintain their facial structure, and to talk and eat naturally.
Dental Fillings
At Sheppard Yorkland Dental, our dentists use composite (tooth-coloured) fillings to repair a cavity or tooth damage, such as a crack. These fillings can withstand moderate pressure from the constant stress of chewing and are suitable for use on front or back teeth.
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are tooth-coloured dental restorations used to repair teeth when the damage from cavities is too extensive for a standard dental filling. They can provide a strong and durable solution, and are custom-made to fit the exact shape of the tooth.
Root Canals
During a root canal procedure, your Sheppard Yorkland dentist removes diseased blood vessels, nerves and tissues from the interior of an infected tooth. By removing the decay and bacteria, your dentist can help halt the spread of infection and prevent the need for an extraction.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
The temporomandibular joint (or TMJ) is a hinge that connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull. The disorder of this joint can cause a host of uncomfortable or even painful issues with your jaw and the muscles in your face. Our dentists can test for, diagnose and provide a treatment plan for TMJ Disorder.
