Recover the Benefits of Healthy Teeth

General Services Fillings Root Canal Therapy Crowns & Bridges Dental Implants Oral Cancer Screening

Over time our teeth begin to weaken and become more susceptible to problems such as decay, chips, cracks and more. Besides aging, disease, accidents and injuries can affect our oral health and necessitate care by a dentist experienced in general and cosmetic treatment.

If you are having functional problems such as chewing, or if you feel your smile isn’t what it once was, restorative techniques can help recover the benefits of healthy teeth.

What can a general dentist do?

Repair decay – apply fillings to strengthen and replace lost tooth structure
Cover damaged teeth – restore teeth and prevent further decay and fractures with crowns
Replace teeth – employ treatments such as dental implants, bridges and dentures
Save a tooth – restore from further decay or infection with a root canal

How Do I Know What Treatment is Right for Me?

After thoroughly examining your teeth, gums and supporting bone structure, and with the aid of digital X-rays and photography, our Surrey dentist Dr. Bajwa will present your case on a monitor pointing out the pertinent facts about your teeth.

This review will facilitate a discussion about the best course of treatment, and provide you with the opportunity to ask questions and truly understand his recommendations.

It is our priority to spend time to educate our patients, before embarking on any treatment plan. We want you to feel confident that we’re proposing the safest and least invasive treatment that will produce the optimal outcome.

You deserve to feel like your smile is healthy and complete. Contact our Surrey clinic to make an appointment for any general dentistry work.

General Dentist Concerns

I have old dental work that is bothering me.

Most dental work has a life expectancy of approximately 10-12 years. It can last much longer, but it can also be shortened. A common problem is the breakdown of fillings, which can allow food and bacteria in and cause decay deep in the tooth. While the pain you’re experiencing may be minor, we won’t know the extent of the damage without doing an exam and diagnosis.

What is a dental crown?

A dental crown or “cap” is designed to cover a tooth that is damaged, discoloured or weakened by an old filling. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, which looks almost like a real tooth.

I struggle with bad breath.

Bad breath (halitosis) can be a symptom of one or more issues, including diet, general oral hygiene habits or a warning sign of infection. Generally, dentists find that infrequent or improper brushing and flossing are the culprits. Many people don’t realize that bacteria breeds beyond the teeth enamel, on the tongue and cheeks. A consultation with our family dentist and hygienist can help you pinpoint the issue.
