DENTAL CLEANING
In our experience, patients who schedule regular checkups enjoy the confidence of having strong and healthy teeth. Professional dental cleaning is not only an important part of your dental hygiene, but it also promotes your overall health and well-being. Ensure healthy gums and a bright smile by booking an appointment. Our dental cleaning procedure includes:
CAVITY PREVENTION
Regular visits to our dental office will help eliminate troublesome plaque buildup. Plaque is an acidic substance that attacks the enamel of your teeth. Daily brushing and flossing can help deter plaque, which contributes to cavities; however, regular dental cleanings will help ensure all traces of this harmful substance are removed.
AVOIDING TEETH LOSS
Many people forget to consider the importance of maintaining their gums. Unhealthy gums allow excess plaque which can result in the loss of teeth. Annual scheduled dental cleanings protect the health and appearance of your smile by dealing with any potential issues before they get out of hand.
IMPROVING YOUR SMILE
Coffee and sugary juices are popular beverages that serve as staple for many people. Unfortunately, these drinks are associated with increased cavity risk as well as the discolouration of your teeth. If you favor any of these products on a regular basis, Credit Valley Dentistry can help minimize the damaging effects.
YOUR OVERALL WELL-BEING
Regular visits to our clinic play an important role in managing your overall health. Did you know that dental appointments are beneficial in the detection of certain medical conditions at the early stages? A healthy mouth helps in preventing the onset of conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
ELIMINATING BAD BREATH
Don’t just mask unpleasant breath with mints and mouthwash. Treat it at the source with comprehensive dental cleanings by Credit Valley Dentistry
VENEERS
Thin porcelain pieces called veneers are a practical option for patients with stained, decayed, or otherwise damaged teeth. Veneers can also be contoured to correct crowded, overlapping teeth or unsightly spaces within your smile. Credit Valley Dentistry is happy to walk you through the steps involved in correcting any perceived flaws with your teeth. From discussing the required anesthetic to the choice of color and shade for your new look, our team can help determine the proper course of treatment for you.
COMPOSITE BONDING
Credit Valley Dentistry assists patients with chipped, cracked, and discolored teeth. Our goal is to ensure that you have the strongest teeth possible for the longest amount of time. Whether you have multiple gaps in your smile or you’re bothered by a single fractured tooth, our bonding treatments can help strengthen your teeth. Bonding involves the application of multiple layers of composite resin (plastic) that is eventually hardened under UV light. From children to aging adults, composite bonding may just be the most suitable treatment for you.
SEALANTS
When it comes to the protection of young or susceptible teeth, dental sealants offer an effective form of proactive treatment. Dental sealants coat the chewing surface of the tooth, usually premolars and molars, to aid in the defense against decay-causing bacteria. The process takes only a few minutes and the resulting seal typically lasts for several years.
CAPS OR CROWNS
If you suffer from decayed or badly stained teeth, dental caps or crowns may prove to be the most suitable option for an aesthetic fix. Made of acrylic, metal, porcelain, or porcelain bonded to metal, caps and crowns provide patients with a more natural-looking restored smile. The process requires that an impression of the teeth and gums be made, anesthesia, as well as the use of a temporary cap, until such time as the permanent crown is completed. The finished cap or crown will then be cemented into its final position during a subsequent appointment. This is a popular method of treatment for anyone with damaged front teeth.
CHILDREN’S DENTISTRY
Parents are encouraged to make dental visits a regular part of their growing child’s routine. Babies should be brought in for their first checkup by the end of their first year. Credit Valley Dentistry caters our services to young families and children of all ages.
ROOT CANALS
When a tooth is abscessed, diseased, decayed, or if it has suffered severe physical trauma, it may be necessary to perform a root canal. A root canal preserves the integrity of the tooth by entering the nerve chamber to clean out the infected tissue. Once the source of the infection has been removed, the space is filled and sealed. If you are experiencing dental pain of any kind, it is wise to contact Credit Valley Dentistry right away for a closer inspection.
FILLINGS
Detecting any cavities during your routine checkup, or in the event of minor tooth damage, Credit Valley Dentistry provides dental fillings to help restore the integrity of your tooth. When it comes to maintaining your oral health, it’s wise to be proactive.
GUM TREATMENT
Gum disease can be hard to detect if you don’t know the warning signs. Unfortunately, most people don’t even realize they are affected until it is too late. At Credit Valley Dentistry, we can verify the condition of your gums with a visual inspection, periodontal probe measurements, and our X-ray equipment.
Your best defense against unwanted gum disease is by opting for regular dental cleanings to remove any built-up tartar. Daily flossing and proper brushing at the gum line are also effective deterrents against unwanted plaque deposits.
CHECKING YOUR GUMS
The following symptoms may indicate the presence of gum disease:
-
Unusual colour
-
Sensitive gums
-
Redness around the teeth
-
Bleeding after flossing or brushing
-
Frequent bad breath
-
Sensitive teeth
-

Don’t put your teeth at risk. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to further discomfort and the eventual loss of your teeth. No matter what stage you are at, Credit Valley Dentistry offers treatment for the care and upkeep of your entire mouth.

INVISALIGN
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable align to straighten teeth. The process begins with a consultation, where a dentist or orthodontist evaluates your teeth and creates a customized treatment plan. You'll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into their desired position. Regular check-ins with your provider ensure the treatment progresses smoothly, ultimately giving you a beautifully aligned smile. If you're hesitant about conventional metal braces, consider the Invisalign® teeth straight system. These clear aligners are not only comfortable to but also easily removable for eating and cleaning, them a convenient choice for adjusting malpositioned teeth. Dr. Raamya is here to assess your teeth and create a personalized treatment plan, so you can achieve the smile you've always wanted. Call us at 647-825-3276 to discuss Invisalign® in more detail.
WHAT IS A DENTAL IMPLANT?
A dental implant is a small titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a replacement root for a missing tooth. Once the implant has fused with the bone, a crown is attached to it, providing a natural-looking and functional solution for restoring smiles. Dental implants offer durability and stability, making them a popular choice for tooth replacement. They can improve oral health, enhance appearance, and boost confidence.
DENTAL IMPLANT PROCESS
The dental implant process typically involves several key steps.
-
Consultation: You'll meet with a dentist or oral surgeon to discuss your options and determine if dental implants are right for you.
-
Surgery: The dentist or oral surgeon will insert the implant into your jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation.
-
Healing: The implant will fuse with your jawbone over several months (a process called osseointegration).
-
Abutment attachment: Once the implant has integrated, an abutment (a small connector) is attached to the implant.
-
Crown placement: A custom-made crown is attached to the abutment, creating a natural-looking tooth
BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS

-
A natural appearance and feel.
-
