We aim to work proactively with our patients to prevent oral health issues before they arise and to educate them on how to best care for their teeth, gums, and mouth. 🦷

Dr. Sekhon offers many options on how best to fix a problem that may arise. Some situations may call for a cosmetic approach, while others may require an emphasis on strength and durability. For this reason, Dr. Sekhon works with all restorative materials from composite resin to silver amalgam to gold and will recommend the best material for a given situation.

If you have chipped off just a small piece of tooth enamel, your dentist may repair the damage with a filling. If the repair is to a front tooth or can be seen when you smile, your dentist will likely use a procedure called bonding, which uses a tooth-coloured composite resin.

Bonding is a simple procedure that typically does not require numbing the tooth. To bond a tooth, the dentist first etches its surface with a liquid or gel to roughen it and make the bonding material stick to it. Next, the dentist applies an adhesive material to the tooth followed by a tooth-coloured resin. After shaping the bonding material to look like a natural tooth, the dentist uses an ultraviolet light to harden the material.

Looking for safe and effective teeth whitening? 🦷😁

There are several over-the-counter and DIY teeth whitening methods that people can try. However, the best way to see results is by seeking teeth whitening treatment from your dentist. Other methods of teeth whitening often take longer to take effect or they can damage the enamel on your teeth. Dentists use a professional-grade teeth whitening solution that can whiten your teeth by 6 to 12 shades. Based on your individual habits, a teeth whitening treatment can last anywhere between 2 years to as little as 6 months.

Dental implants have become the preferred method for replacing missing teeth for good reason. A dental implant is the closest thing you can get to a natural tooth. It provides a long-lasting solution for you to eat, speak and smile with confidence. They also help you preserve your jawbone, preventing the surrounding teeth from shifting. If you’re considering dental implants to restore your smile, contact us today!

Dentures and bridges were the go-to solutions for replacing missing teeth. 🦷 However, with advances in dental technology, one of the best ways to restore your smile is through dental implants. A dental implant is used to replace the missing tooth’s root which prevents the jaw bone from suffering from any further damage.

You've probably heard "don't forget to brush your teeth after dinner" a million times. But, did you know that it may actually better to wait at least 30 mins! In cases where the food you've eaten is high in acidity 🍋🍊🍎 it's best to wait at least 30 mins before brushing your teeth. The reason being, acidic food softens your enamel and brushing your teeth is designed to prevent these acid attacks from happening. After 30 minutes, your enamel will re-harden so you won't be removing any of it when brushing.
