While adult teeth can last a lifetime, many Canadians will lose at least one to injury, decay, gum disease, or oral health problems.

Today, we will examine some of these problems and solutions in further detail to help you decide how to handle your missing tooth troubles.

Many people who are dissatisfied with their smile turn to Invisalign treatment to improve the alignment of their teeth. If you choose Invisalign, you will need to be extremely vigilant about your oral hygiene.

Tooth loss is a common dental condition seen among patients. Losing a tooth to injury, gum disease, or decay can impact your facial appearance and compromise your ability to speak and chew normally. Many people who have lost a tooth worry about it constantly and become self-conscious, afraid to let anyone see the gap in their smile.

Dental implants can be used to replace missing teeth and correct these problems. Many patients report that getting dental implants has had a significant impact on their quality of life. Some forget that they were ever missing a tooth in the first place. Our guide will teach you everything you need to know about dental implants, including what they do, how they are placed, and why they are the right choice to replace your missing tooth.

Many people enjoy the look of a bright white smile, but this classic marker of beauty can be difficult to maintain. Teeth are never naturally pure white and often tend to darken with age. Additionally, they acquire surface stains from food, drink, or tobacco use over time. As a result, people often become increasingly dissatisfied with the colour of their teeth.

Fortunately, these tooth discolouration issues can easily be treated using a variety of simple and painless tooth whitening procedures. These treatments can significantly whiten your teeth and help you make a sparkling first impression with everyone you meet. Both in-home and in-office options exist to allow every patient to balance convenience, cost, and effectiveness to best suit their needs.
