Conditions We Treat

Missing teeth

Missing teeth

A gap in your smile affects more than just appearance and ability to chew. Over time, nearby teeth can drift into the empty space, changing your bite alignment which can lead to issues with your jaw and remaining teeth.

Gum disease

Gum disease

Gum health forms the foundation of a great smile. Early signs of gum disease include bleeding when brushing, swollen gums, and persistent bad breath. While common, gum disease shouldn't be taken lightly - it's the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.

Dental decay

Dental decay

Dental decay is a progressive condition that starts small but can become serious quickly. You might notice dark spots on your teeth or feel sensitivity when enjoying hot coffee or cold drinks or experience discomfort when biting down. These signs tell us it's time to protect your tooth's natural structure before decay reaches deeper layers.

Cracked teeth

Cracked teeth

A cracked tooth might feel sensitive or painful, especially when you're eating. You may notice a sharp edge with your tongue or discomfort with hot and cold temperatures. Even hairline cracks deserve attention as they can grow larger over time and affect your tooth's strength.

Tooth pain/sensitivity

Tooth pain/sensitivity

When everyday pleasures like ice cream or hot tea cause discomfort, you may have tooth sensitivity. The sensation might feel sharp or dull and can affect one tooth or several. Understanding the cause helps us address the root of your discomfort.

Discoloured teeth

Discoloured teeth

Coffee, tea, red wine, and normal aging can all affect tooth colour. Some patients notice their teeth darkening gradually, while others see more sudden changes from medication or injury. Whatever the cause, there are effective ways to restore your confident smile.

Children's teeth & hygiene

Children's teeth & hygiene

Every child's smile develops uniquely. During these important growth years, we watch for proper tooth development, spacing, and bite alignment. Early care makes a big difference - good habits formed now create the foundation for lifelong dental health.

Teeth clenching (grinding / Bruxism)

Teeth clenching (grinding / Bruxism)

Many patients are surprised to learn they grind their teeth at night. Morning headaches, jaw soreness, and worn tooth surfaces are common signs. Stress often plays a role, but bite misalignment can also contribute.

Malaligned teeth

Malaligned teeth

Beyond cosmetic concerns, misaligned teeth can affect your daily comfort and dental health. You might notice challenges with cleaning between crowded teeth or feel strain in your jaw muscles. Some patients experience uneven wear on their teeth. A properly aligned bite helps your smile function at its best.
