At Dentistry on Glen Erin, we offer dental implants as a long-term solution for missing teeth. A dental implant is a titanium screw placed in the bone to act as an artificial tooth root. An implant needs to be surrounded by healthy gum and bone to be successful. Book a consultation. We’ll identify any issues and together we can make a plan that works for you.

We’re often asked about the difference between clear aligners and metal braces for straightening teeth.

Clear aligners are worn over the teeth to gently adjust the teeth. Patients switch to a new set of aligners every week or two. Clear aligners are invisible, so most people won’t ever notice them. Because they are removable, you can take clear aligners out to eat and brush, and then pop the aligners back in. They do need to be worn about 23 hours a day, so make sure to put them back in when you’re done eating.

Traditional braces are placed directly onto the teeth using metal or ceramic brackets. Wires and tiny rubber bands are used to move the teeth gently into place. There are lots of options with traditional braces as they can be placed in different ways either behind or in front of the teeth. There is even a wide array of rubber band colours to choose from.

Book a consultation with us and we’ll help you make the decision that’s best for you or your teen.

Veneers are used to close spaces, repair chipped teeth, or cover tooth defects or imperfections. A porcelain veneer is a very thin layer of porcelain that is bonded to a prepared tooth. Veneers can also be made out of composite resin, which is layered onto a prepared tooth and then shaped. We’d be happy to answer any questions about veneers at your next visit.

Hold your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle against the gumline and gently massage when brushing your teeth. This helps to remove food and plaque that can get caught at the gumline. Remember not to brush too hard!

Accidents happen. The most important thing to remember when someone has broken a tooth is not to panic.

First, take a look around for the tooth. If it’s an adult tooth, and it’s clean and whole, place it back in the empty socket. If you can’t place it back in the mouth, keep the missing tooth moist by packing it in milk or saliva. If it’s a baby tooth, bring it along to the dental office just in case we need to see it.

Next — call us! Let us know what happened and we’ll get you in as soon as we can. If for some reason you can’t get through to us, then head to the emergency room and call us for a follow-up appointment.

Premolars, or bicuspids, are used for chewing and grinding food. They are located between the canine teeth and the molars. Adults typically have eight premolars, two on each side of the canines. Premolars resemble molars but aren’t quite as big — a premolar has two cusps while a molar has four.

More than 30% of babies grind their teeth intermittently but it’s nothing to be concerned about. Some experts think that babies grind their teeth when they are teething, have an earache or an allergy, or they might just be testing out their new teeth. However, if grinding becomes a habit and continues into childhood, be sure to let us know.
