Teeth Alignment   Invisalign™

The clear alternative to braces is here! Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that

are custom-molded to fit you. The virtually invisible aligners gradually reposition your teeth into a smile you’ll be proud of, including:

•  Overly crowded teeth  •  Widely spaced teeth

•  Overbites  •  Underbites  •  Crossbites

Advantages of the Invisalign® System

Invisalign braces won’t disrupt your lifestyle, and most people won’t even notice that you’re in treatment! Many patients see results in as little as 6 months.

The aligners are removed to eat, brush and floss, making no difference in the way you practice oral hygiene.

Teeth Whitening

Dental Implant

Are you missing teeth?

     

Implants are a sensible solution to replacing a single tooth because neighbouring teeth are not needed for support. Implants are also a wonderful solution for securing bridges or dentures. Dental implants are titanium cylinders placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth and it prevents bone loss associated with the extraction of teeth. Other treatments, such as bone grafting and sinus lift are also available at Clinique Denticare.

As strong as one’s own teeth, these veneers resist future discoloration and chipping. Only one or two visits are required to have the perfect smile.

Laser Treatment             

Laser Gum Assisted Treatment

Can you imagine going to the dentist and rarely needing a shot or a drill to fix your teeth? The time is here! Laser dentistry is the greatest dental invention in 50 years. This hyperkinetic energy or “water in motion” allows the removal of soft tissue and decayed tooth structure, frequently with no injection of anesthesia. There is reduced post treatment pain, an increase in the healing process and both bacterial and viral colonies of infection are destroyed.

Soft tissue (lips, tongue and gums) can be contoured and incised with very little bleeding and much quicker healing time. Also, gum disease is treated less invasively, without surgery, and remarkably root canal treatment is done with the laser to sterilize the inside of the tooth.

This laser treats ulcers and denture sores relieving the pain and cutting the healing time in half, and imagine cold sores being treated and if caught early, (when it first starts to burn or itch) the eruption of the unsightly sore can be eliminated.

In addition to the above treatments, there is the reduction of stress anxiety, pain and fear. Ask how we can incorporate the laser into your treatment.

Root Canal Therapy

When a tooth gets infected because bacteria is present in a deep cavity and it enters the nerve, the result is a very painful condition known as an abscess. A root canal is a treatment used to clean out an infected tooth and save it from being extracted. At times injury or fracture of a tooth may also require a root canal, especially if the fracture results in the nerve being exposed to bacteria in the mouth. Front teeth are most susceptible to traumatic injury especially when participating in contact sports without the use of a proper mouth guard. Contrary to what many people think, most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure.

Waterlase MD Laser®

We care about the your comfort! The Waterlase® is an amazing

technology that performs a variety of hard and soft tissue procedures,

® also aids in decay removal, root canals, and smile design. Waterlase

cavity preparations can increase bond strength of tooth-coloured

restoration resulting in longer lasting fillings.

Headache Treatments

Do you suffer from unexplained headaches, sore jaw muscles or neck or back pain? Do you hear a clicking and/or grinding noise when you chew or yawn?

If you or anyone you know suffers from ringing in the ears, dizziness or any of the above symptoms, it may be caused from Temporomandibular Joint Disorder.

Bio JVA

JVA provides a fast, non-invasive, and repeatable measurement of TMJ function to aid in your diagnosis.

TMJ Vibration Analysis is a quick, non-invasive method for the doctor to examine how your jaw joints function. Our office uses a device called Joint Vibration Analysis (JVA) to help determine if patients have a TMJ Disorder.

Chronic Pain Treatment

BioTENS™

The Biotens unit provides symptomatic relief of chronic and intractable pain, and helps manage post-traumatic and post-surgical pain. At Clinique

Denticare, we use Biotens technology to diagnose TMJ Disorder and to record neuromuscular occlusion. Neuromuscular activity is measured by recording the amount of electrical activity in the muscles of the jaw. The

Biotens unit utilizes a magnet placed in front of the lower front teeth and a sensor array to measure the jaw position in three dimensions.

Oral Cancer Screening

VELscope®

The world’s #1 oral cancer screening device.  The VELscope system is used to conduct more oral cancer exams than any other adjunctive device in the world. Since mid-2006, over 4,500 VELscope systems have been installed and approximately 3 million VELscope exams will be given in 2009 alone.

The leader in fluorescence visualization.  The VELscope system is the first oral cancer screening device to incorporate fluorescence visualization technology to help detect abnormal tissue , including cancer and precancer. The science behind tissue this technology has been supported by over $50 million in research funded by the National Institutes of Health and other prestigious organizations.

A way to see what might otherwise be missed.  The VELscope system is the first adjunctive device cleared by the FDA and Health Canada to help clinicians see cancerous and precancerous lesions that might not be visible to the naked eye. The VELscope is also the first device cleared to help surgeons determine the appropriate surgical margins if surgery is indicated. This is extremely important, as oral surgery often fails to remove 100% of the targeted tissue.

A detection device— not  a diagnostic device.  It is important to understand that the VELscope system is  not a diagnostic device. It is used to detect tissue that  appears to be abnormal. If the dentist is sufficiently suspicious of the tissue detected, a surgical biopsy should be conducted. Only when an oral pathologist reads the results of this surgical biopsy can a diagnosis be made.

Easy for clinicians – and for patients.  VELscope exams may be given as part of a normal hygiene exam. The exam is easy for dentists and hygienists to administer, taking only 2-to-3 minutes. It is completely free of pain or discomfort for the patients, and it involves no distasteful rinses or messy dyes like some other systems.

Restauration

Professional dental cleaning. During a typical checkup your dentist or dental hygienist will remove the plaque and tartar (plaque that builds up and hardens on the tooth surface and can only be removed with professional cleaning) from above and below the gum line of all teeth
