Why Dentures?

As many of our client’s age, it’s normal to consider replacing your missing teeth. Decay, damaged teeth, or gum disease are some of the reasons why dentures become necessary. This can be done by fabricating partial dentures or what we call plates. Dentures are removable appliance that replaces your missing teeth aesthetically and functionally, so you can feel completely confident about your smile.

 
Dentures

Sometimes, with age or because of health issues, bone resorption is not an option and can result in getting all your teeth removed. In this case, full complete dentures will be the option you might want to consider.

There are some disadvantages of not replacing missing teeth, which are:

  • Facial muscle sag or atrophy make you look older
  • Deficiency in food chewing and mastication
  • Increase in bone resorption due to the heavy chewing force applied into the bony ridge
  • Aesthetic negative implications
  • Misalignment of adjacent teeth

Dr. Altalib has specialized training in all types of removable appliances and can help you overcome this problem. We help patients every day to achieve a solution to provide them with a healthy and attractive smile.

Do you suffer from dental anxiety? Are you looking for pain-free dentistry? 

You have landed on the right website if you are looking for a Dentist in London, Ontario, offering Sedation Dentistry. Call us today at Apple Tree Dental to arrange an appointment that best suits your needs.

Need Painfree Dentistry?

Do you ever experience pain and know that dental treatment has to be done but still not decided on the planned treatment because of dental anxiety?

Many people fear noise, pressure, and discomfort during dental procedures. Imagine if you can do all the dental work required and you are almost sleeping. We are licensed to provide minimal or moderate sedation safely and comfortably with no side effects or risk.

Sedation Dentistry

What is Minimal Sedation?

Can be provided to the people with mild anxiety, longer procedure. Minimal sedation can include:

  1. Laughing Gas, also known as Nitrous Oxide, will keep you awake but relaxed during the dental exam or procedure. Laughing gas is given through a nasal mask by inhalation. The advantage of this administration is the fast onset of action, plus the fast time will be cleared from your body once it’s stopped.
  2. Oral sedation is achieved by prescribing oral medication. This will make you drowsy but relaxed during the dental procedure. The dosage of medication is prescribed by Dr. Altalib and will determine the level of sedation necessary. Sometimes the dosage is taken the night before the procedure to calm nerves, and then laughing gas is used.

What is Moderate Sedation?

A higher level of sedation making you almost sleeping during the dental procedure but still responding to any stimulation. The relaxation you will feel makes you feel no sense about the time of the procedure, no sense of smell or sounds, or no memory about the undergoing procedure. Its usually provided to people who have mild to moderate levels of anxiety and in longer dental procedures. It can be achieved by providing oral sedatives alone with a certain dose or by combining oral sedatives with inhalation of nitrous oxide gas.

The person has to have a family member or a friend waiting for him to drop him off as it won’t be safe to leave the place alone with no company. The moderate level of sedation is closely regulated by law, and the doctor with the dental office has to have the authorization to provide this kind of sedation. Just check all these details with our staff member to feel confident about your decision. We want you not to feel nervous about the sedation.

Teeth Whitening: 

Considered the most popular aesthetic procedure for a smile, teeth whitening brightens teeth by removing stains that have been deposited by foods and drinks. It can be done in our office with Zoom whitening or at home with whitening kits. Most people are eligible for teeth whitening except rare dark-stained teeth, but Dr. Altalib is available for questions and consultations regarding the different programs we have.

Crowns: 

Crowned or capped teeth will function exactly like the natural tooth that the crown is covering. There is no need to remove a tooth as it is permanently fixed with a crown. We recommend crowns for several reasons:

• When the tooth gets damaged and has little tooth structure left.
• After a root canal treatment, the tooth can be easily fractured if heavy force is directed against it.
• If only the root portion of the tooth remains. In this case, Dr. Altalib would create a core and a crown will be fabricated using different materials like porcelain, ceramic, or a metal base coated by porcelain.

The crown can be fabricated away from your mouth in the dental lab by reducing your tooth size to create a space for the crown material and then sending a unique impression for your mouth to the lab, then the lab technician will be fabricating the crown that will be customized for your teeth conditions.

Bridges: 

The bridge can be used to replace the missing teeth, help maintain your face shape, alleviate the stress of your bite on your bone. The bridge can be made from gold, alloy, porcelain, or a combination of the mentioned material and can bridge the gap made by missing teeth and will be bonded on surrounding teeth for retention, call us for consultation and get more information as we can design the bridge according to your need.

White Fillings: 

It’s called Composite filling used to fill the cavities and it’s the most popular required filling as there are multiple shades available and can be matched to your tooth shade. We are using the filling that has the best quality to be very retentive, bacterial less leaking ability to prevent any incident of recurrent cavities. If you want to replace your previous amalgam silver filling you can call us any time to improve your smile.

Bonding: 

Bonding, or bonded restoration, can be used to repair a small chipped or fractured tooth, it’s a cheaper way of cosmetic dentistry and can be done in one visit without any lab work needed. Bonding, or bonded restoration, is used with a tooth-colored filling called composite. Bonding is used to prevent a filling from falling out. It acts as a chemical material bond between the filling and the tooth surface. A bonded filling can be used in the back or front tooth and can be matched with tooth shade to get the best aesthetically result

Veneers: 

Veneers are used for restoring tooth shape and function. When a tooth has a stain so deep that whitening will not fix it, veneers are the best option. They can also be used when a tooth is chipped off or doesn’t have a natural shape. You are no longer need to hide your smile because of the shape of your teeth or spaces between them. Veneers are custom-made shells made from tooth-colored material that cover the front side of your tooth, so Dr. Altalib will need to conservatively prepare your tooth to achieve the best aesthetic result.

There are two types of Veneers. The first is a direct composite veneer which is done in the office from a Resin material and can be done on-site. The second is a Porcelain veneer that has to be fabricated in the lab. In this case, you don’t have to worry about the cost as we have many options to help you budget this. We provide free consultation for our clients that are interested in changing their entire smile.

Sealant: 

Sometimes it’s hard to reach the very tinny deep grooves or fissures that the molar teeth have during brushing, accordingly, cavities might be established if left with no treatment. Sealant is a plastic Resin material that bond or harden on your tooth surface. Then your tooth surface will be smooth so less plaque will be cumulated and brushing will be easier and more effectively preventing any tooth decay. Sealant can be used more often on the permanent teeth after an eruption and can be used as a preventive measure against tooth decay. Sealants can last for four to five years and it’s very often seen in adults with sealant still intact from their childhood if you think you need this service please ask Dr. Altalib and she will assess the condition.

Nightguard: 

If you wake up in the morning with headache and jaw pain, or if you think you are grinding or clenching your teeth at night, then you may have bruxism. Nightguard will be recommended by Dr. Altalib to be custom made from soft material by the lab, it can be inserted on top of your top teeth during sleep. If you ignore this bruxism, then might cause your teeth to be cracked, broken, or even lost. The most complicated serious conditions that might be caused by bruxism are the TMJ joint spasm, jaw lock, or clicking.

Are you in need of Wisdom Teeth Removal? Then, you have landed on the right website if you are looking for a Dentist in London, Ontario, offering wisdom teeth extraction surgery.

Apple Tree Dental is a full-service dental clinic offering in-house wisdom teeth extraction.

Call our clinic today to book an appointment.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction Surgery

For many of our patients, removing their wisdom teeth is often necessary. To help you understand the process, we have outlined the reasons for wisdom extraction here and are always available by phone to answer any of your questions. Wisdom teeth are the hindmost molars in your mouth or the third set of molars that often appear between the ages of 17 to 25. Some people may have all four teeth that need to be removed, while others only need a few. 

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

There can be several different reasons that wisdom teeth need to be extracted, including:

1. Infection due to a deep cavity
2. When a wisdom tooth is partially impacted (covered by bone or gum tissue), it can cause a cavity or damage to the neighboring tooth.
3. they may come in at the wrong angle and be affecting your other teeth, causing crowding or crocking
4. May cause gum inflammation around the tooth (pericoronitis) due to food getting stuck between the wisdom tooth and gum tissue around it.

About the Procedure :

The good news is that wisdom teeth extraction surgery is not a long surgical procedure. The surgery typically takes 45 minutes or less, depending on the case. Dr. Altalib will offer different sedation options and the local anesthetic medicine, which must be given in any extraction procedure. These options include laughing gas and mild or moderate sedation to ensure you will be completely relaxed while performing the work. Again, this will be something you and Dr. Altalib decide upon together before the procedure.

What to Expect:

Recovery from Wisdom Teeth Extraction Surgery Because we really care about you, there will always be a follow-up appointment with Dr. Altalib free of charge to make sure that the surgical goals have been achieved and that the site is healing well and that you are out of pain.

Root Canals

What Is A Root Canal?

Our teeth have a container called pulp which holds all of the nerves and blood supply to our teeth. Extending down into the root, the pulp can get infected or injured resulting in the need for a root canal. The most common reason for a pulp infection is bacteria. Deep in the tooth cavity is a lot of debris and bacteria, which can move directly to the nerve and cause sharp pain and tooth sensitivity.

How do you know that your tooth needs a root canal procedure?

• Swelling and tenderness in the area close to your tooth
• Sharp shooting pain in a certain area of your mouth
• Dark discoloration in the tooth
• Sever sensitivity in response to hot or cold temperature.
Just to mention that not all cases of tooth require root canal procedure have pain experience, the dentist will diagnose the problem.

Root Canals

What happened during the root canal procedure?

This procedure might involve one to three dental visits. Dr. Altalib will remove the infected tissue after providing very effective freezing medicine which is topical anesthesia, next will sterilize and rinse the canal to make it ready to receive the filling material, it might be important to mention if the tooth becomes week and have minimum tooth structure left is to place a crown or cap to prevent the tooth from any fracture incident, this will be clarified later with your regular dental checkup to achieve optimum oral health

Family Dentistry

Teenagers

As they move into adulthood, teens need continued dental care and checkups. At this stage, poor alignment problems begin to show. Therefore orthodontic treatment is often suggested as it can achieve the best results. 

 

Family Dentistry

Adults

At this age, you will need regular checkups to ensure their oral health, as the condition of teeth can change with age.   This includes gum, teeth, and bone levels. Often issues will arise with age, and some of them include bone resorption, sensitivity as gum levels start to recede, and missing teeth.  We have many different solutions to these issues and can help you solve these problems. 

Why Are Regular Adult Dental Appointments Important?

Prevent gum disease, stopping bacterial spread in the mouth can be prevented by professional cleaning as plaque and tartar cant be removed sometimes by the person, so in this way, we are stopping the spread of gum infection by visiting our office Apple Tree Dental.

Stop bad breath. Bad oral hygiene causes bad breath, which no one wants to have. Bad breath might cause loss of confidence and self-esteem, gum disease and cavities might be one of the strong reasons for bad breath. We at Apple Tree Dental can diagnose the reason and find the solution.

Create a whiter smile. You can enjoy your favorite drink like coffee or tea that stain your teeth continuously by doing a regular hygiene cleaning visit, so you can achieve a bright smile, although some of the stains can’t be removed other than by whitening procedure, please read about our Philips whitening technique at Apple Tree Dental.

Avoid tooth loss. No one wants to try the feeling of tooth loss. This can be done by neglecting our oral health, then gum disease starts, then bone loss, and cavities that might cause severe dental infection, requiring a Root canal procedure if it can be performed. At Apple Tree Dental, we believe in the prevention role to maintain a perfect oral hygiene level for our patients.

Seniors

At this age, you will need services focused on the effect of aging on the whole mouth, including bone resorption, sensitivity arising as gum levels start to recede, and missing teeth. We can help assess bone resorption and fit for dentures when needed.
