Root Canal Therapy

If the inside part of your tooth (where the nerves and blood vessels are) gets very infected or damaged, a root canal helps clean it out and save the tooth.

  • Pain After Process: Your tooth and the area around it might feel a bit sore or tender for a few days after the treatment. It’s like a bruise.
  • Aftercare: Taking medicine for pain that our dentist in Etobicoke suggests can help greatly. Avoid chewing hard foods on that tooth until it feels better. Keep brushing and flossing gently.

Teeth Whitening

This treatment makes your teeth brighter and removes stains and discoloration of teeth.

Pain After Process

Some people feel a tingly or sensitive feeling in their teeth, especially when they eat hot or cold things. This usually doesn’t last long.

Aftercare

Try to avoid intake of foods and drinks (like coffee, tea, or dark soda) that can stain your teeth right after treatment. If your teeth feel sensitive, using toothpaste for sensitive teeth can help.

Invisalign

Invisalign uses clear, custom-made trays to gently move your teeth into the right place over time.

Pain After Process

When you first put in a new set of trays, your teeth might feel a little pressure or soreness as they start to move.

Aftercare

Keep wearing your trays as much as your dentist tells you to. If they feel uncomfortable, you can take them out for short periods when eating or brushing. Over-the-counter pain medicine can help with soreness.

Dentures

Dentures are false teeth that replace missing teeth. They can be for all your teeth or just some of them.

Pain After Process

When you first start wearing dentures, your gums and mouth might feel sore or have some sore spots as you get used to them.

Aftercare

Follow the instructions on how long to wear your dentures each day at first. If you get sore spots, take the dentures out and call us so we can adjust them. Clean your dentures and your mouth regularly.

Tooth Filling

A filling fixes a hole (cavity) in your tooth caused by decay. Our dentist near you cleans out the cavity and fills it with a special material.

Pain After Process

Your tooth might be sensitive to pressure, air, or hot and cold temperatures for a few days after getting a filling.

Aftercare

Try to avoid very hot or cold foods and drinks on the filled tooth for a while. Brush and floss gently around the filling. The sensitivity should get better quickly.

Direct Bonding

Bonding uses a tooth-coloured material (like a strong plastic) to fix chipped, cracked, or stained teeth or to close small gaps.

Pain After Process

Usually, there is no pain after bonding. The tooth might feel a little different at first.

Aftercare

Avoid biting on very hard things like ice or hard candy with the bonded tooth, as it could chip the material. Brush and floss like normal.

Dental Implants

A dental implant is like a new tooth root made of metal that is placed in your jawbone. Then a new tooth (crown) is attached to it.

Pain After Process

The area where the implant was placed will be sore, swollen, and might have some bruising for several days after the surgery.

Aftercare

Follow all the instructions that the dentist near you gives you for taking medicine, using an ice pack, and what kind of soft foods to eat. Keep the area clean as directed. Healing takes time, so be patient with your mouth.

Tooth Extraction

Sometimes a tooth is too damaged or crowded to stay in your mouth, so the dentist needs to take it out. This is called a tooth extraction.

Pain After Service

After a tooth is taken out, it’s normal to feel some pain, swelling, and maybe a little bleeding in that spot for a few days.

Aftercare

It’s really important to follow the instructions our dentist gives you after taking a tooth out. This usually includes biting gently on a gauze pad to help stop bleeding, taking pain medicine as directed, and not doing things that could disrupt the healing, like drinking through a straw, spitting a lot, or smoking. Eating soft foods and keeping the area clean (but being careful not to rinse too hard at first) also helps it heal nicely and reduces pain.
