Children Dentistry

The Canadian Dental Association recommends the dentist first visit should happen within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth or around the age of one. The goal is to have the child getting familiar with the dental office environment.

While “riding” on the dentist chair and counting how many teeth they already have, we will be able to check the child’s gums and teeth and address any issues. In most cases, the dental visit can be scheduled every six months. On that way, we will detect any problems early.

We offer these services and much more at Empire Dental in Niagara Falls. Contact us to book your appointment today.

Dental Bridges

A bridge, also called a “fixed bridge” or a “fixed dental prosthesis,” is a dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It extends across an area that has no teeth and is typically made up of an artificial tooth fused between 2 crowns. 

Fillings

When you go for a dental exam, your dentist checks your fillings and may suggest that you replace any loose or broken ones. Your dentist also looks for signs of decay, such as brown or black spots and may want to use X-rays to take a closer look at problem spots.

Invisalign

The Invisalign appliance involves a series of aligners made from a transparent, thin (typically less than 1 mm) plastic material formed with CADCAM laboratory techniques.

Veneers

Veneers are very thin shells that are attached to the front part of teeth. They are often made of porcelain. Porcelain veneers are very strong and do not change colour or stain. They are generally used to repair chipped, decayed or stained teeth and may help in closing gaps between teeth.

Root Canal

When the decay is too large and affects the pulp of the tooth, a root canal treatment is needed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and to save the natural tooth.

Porcelain Crowns

When a tooth is damaged and very fragile, a crown can be placed on top of it, to protect the tooth from further damage.
A crown is usually recommended if a tooth is damaged but not lost. It serves to restore the tooth’s shape, appearance and function.
It is very common procedure after you have a root canal, a large restoration or a broken tooth.

Bone Graft

Bone graft is a procedure that replaces missing bone with material from patient′s own body, an artificial, synthetic, or natural substitute. This treatment is recommended to repair sites with defective bone structure. These defects can be a result of tooth extractions, gum disease or other face and oral injuries.

Teeth Whitening

In most cases, the natural colour of teeth is within a range of light greyish-yellow shades. Teeth naturally darken with age and their appearance can be affected by the accumulation of surface stains acquired from the use of tobacco products and the consumption of certain foods or drinks.

Orthodontics

People of any age can benefit from orthodontic treatment. Teeth that are crooked, crowded, or that stick out affect the way your teeth look and work. Orthodontic treatment not only improves the look of your smile but your health as well. Straight teeth are easier to clean and less likely to get tooth decay or injured. If you are not happy with the way your teeth look or work, orthodontic treatment may help.

Dental Emergencies

First call your dentist. Explain your symptoms and ask to be seen as soon as possible. Then ease the pain. Take an over-the-counter pain medicine that works for you, but do not put the pills on your sore tooth. Hold an ice pack against your face at the spot of the sore tooth.

Do not put a heating pad, a hot water bottle, or any other source of heat on your jaw. Heat will make things worse instead of better.

Dental Exams

The dentist looks in your mouth for things that can affect your oral and your overall health.
When performing a complete oral exam (COE), we will check the condition of your teeth (damaged, missing or decayed), condition of your gums (inflammation or other signs of gum disease), and also look for early signs of oral cancer, such as white lesions and
other suspicious growths or cysts.

The dental exam can catch problems early before you see or feel them when they are much easier and less expensive to treat.

During the complete exam, we will take some x-rays and review your medical history with you.

After all that, we will have a fully understanding of your oral condition and needs, and we also will be aware about any health conditions that may affect the success of dental treatments or that may be associated with oral health problems.
