General and family dentistry in Wateridge Village

An office devoted to general and family dentistry. The team are your primary care providers for diagnosis, prevention, treatment and management, for every age.

General dentistry is the everyday care that keeps a mouth healthy and catches problems while they are still small. Decay and gum disease often have few warning signs, so a regular exam usually finds an issue long before it starts to hurt, when treatment is simpler and cheaper than a repair.

What general dentistry covers

From a new-patient exam to the treatment that follows, the team handles the core of your dental care in one place.

  • New-patient exams
  • Preventive checkups and cleanings
  • White fillings
  • Crowns and bridges
  • Implant restorations
  • Root canal therapy
  • Tooth extractions

Why six-month visits

Regular visits are about prevention, which is almost always cheaper and gentler than repair. Because decay and gum disease give few early warnings, a routine exam catches the quiet problems before they grow.

Fillings or a crown

A composite filling restores a tooth with partial decay. When damage is more severe and covers most of the tooth, a crown caps and protects the whole tooth instead. The right choice depends on how much healthy structure is left.

Modern tools

Digital imaging and an intraoral camera let the team show you what they see, rather than describing it. White composite fillings match your natural colour and contain no metal.

Common questions

How often should I come in?

Every six months is the general guideline for good oral health. The team may suggest a different interval based on your gums and history.

When should my child first see a dentist?

The Canadian Dental Association suggests age one. In practice the team finds most children do best starting around age three, and a first visit is mostly about comfort and a gentle look.

Are your fillings metal-free?

Yes. Composite white fillings match the natural colour of the tooth, will not leak, and contain no metal.
