The concept that “prevention is better than cure” applies to all areas of your health, including your oral health. Our general dentistry office is oriented toward disease prevention by offering diagnostic and preventive services, which account for about 65 percent of all dental procedures across the country.
As general dentists, we are uniquely positioned to provide a broad range of dental care solutions for people of all ages. We recommend dental visits every six months for a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, jaw, and mouth; oral cancer screening; professional teeth cleaning; and a friendly discussion about how your lifestyle habits – such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and eating sugary items – impacts your oral and general health.
Routine dental exams are a key component of maintaining optimal oral health and overall good health. The Academy of General Dentistry recommends that you visit your dentist every six months. However, each person is unique, and all your family’s oral needs are never the same.
Every six months, you should visit your dentist in Santa Martha Dental for a professional teeth cleaning. Regular professional dental cleanings are one of the most helpful preventive strategies for ensuring consistent oral health. When combined with proper at-home oral hygiene practices, you can prevent most oral problems from occurring and maintain a bright and healthy smile.
Composite fillings are utilized to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, small cracks or fractures. In order to fill the tooth, first the decayed portion of the tooth will need to be removed. Most fillings in modern dentistry are made of a strong dental grade composite or silver amalgam. Composite fillings are commonly used to fill visible front teeth since they can be colored to match adjacent natural teeth.

The decision between extracting and saving a severely damaged tooth due to trauma, tooth decay, a chip or crack, or extensive dental procedures is not always an easy one. But at Santa Martha Dental, we will always make the decision that allows you to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. With root canal treatment, the tooth root is preserved, which stimulates the jawbone and prevents your teeth from shifting out of place.
As a full-service dental practice in Santa Martha Dental provides multiple tooth replacement options, including the superior dental implants, which give you the same feeling as having your natural teeth.
Santa Martha Dental is all about putting smiles on families in Ontario, Ca if you are missing one or more teeth, partial or full dentures can be a great option to restore the proper function of your mouth and give you a healthy and confident smile.
The wisdom teeth (or third molars) are the last set of teeth to erupt into the mouth. This usually occurs after your 16th birthday. Typically, there isn’t enough room in your mouth for these four teeth (one on every end) to come in, so they don’t grow into the mouth normally. The affected wisdom teeth are said to be “impacted” and can cause a lot of pain and infections, as well as contribute to tooth decay and gum disease due to difficulty in cleaning that area of your mouth.
No one forgets an incredible smile. Do you feel like you have the best smile possible? Do you feel confident and attractive when you smile and laugh?
If there are a few tiny imperfections keeping you from achieving a beautiful smile, come and visit us for a cosmetic consultation.
Dental veneers placement is possibly the most all-inclusive, yet simple cosmetic dental procedure available. Veneers refer to very thin layers of porcelain, tooth-colored material that are cemented over the front surface of your teeth to correct their color, shape, size, spacing, and more.
Missing teeth are not just a cosmetic concern. Gaps can cause the adjacent teeth to shift, which can in turn lead to poor bite pattern and distorted facial structure. Professionally placed dental bridges can solve these problems and restore the full function of your mouth while improving your smile.
Composite bonding is a fast, minimally-invasive, and cost-effective cosmetic dental treatment for correcting minor tooth problems such chips, fractures, gaps, decay, and discoloration. It can also be recommended as a cosmetic procedure to change the shape, size, and appearance of your teeth in order to enhance your smile.
Nothing gives you a more confident smile than having impeccable white teeth. They stand out and everyone is drawn to you, which is good for your professional and social life. Unfortunately, aging, tobacco, black coffee and tea, wine, and some other items often leave behind unsightly stains that cannot be removed even with proper oral habits.
The benefits of orthodontic treatment include a healthier mouth, a more pleasing appearance, and teeth that are more likely to last a lifetime. Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly. Crooked teeth and teeth that do not fit together correctly are harder to keep clean, are at risk of being lost early due to tooth decay and periodontal disease, and cause extra stress on the chewing muscles that can lead to headaches, TMJ syndrome and neck, shoulder and back pain. Teeth that are crooked or not in the right place can also detract from one's appearance.
