Because Dentistry Should Be Personal

Oral Surgery

At Affinity Dental Clinic we are committed to providing excellence in Oral Surgery to all patients.

Dental Implants

A dental implant is an artificial tooth that looks, feels, and acts just like a natural one. Inserted into the space where the root of your original tooth was, it bonds naturally with your jawbone, becoming a permanent part of your mouth.

If you have one or more missing teeth, you may want to consider taking advantage of our dental implants to ensure that surrounding gum, bone, and teeth remain strong and healthy.

Wisdom Tooth Extractions

Wisdom teeth can cause considerable pain and discomfort when they get “stuck” under another tooth or impact against it. For most cases our team can gently and precisely remove the offending wisdom tooth, relieving your discomfort.

Restorative Dentistry

If you get a cavity, lose or chip a tooth or require dentures – we can help.

At Affinity Dental we use the latest restorative techniques to ensure that you are getting pain-free dental treatment.

You can rest assured knowing we will always discuss with you the available options, and recommend what we believe to be the most comfortable and least invasive treatment. Providing you with excellent care is our number one priority!

Affinity Dental Crown

Crowns & Bridges

Losing or chipping a tooth can be a traumatic experience – especially if the empty space it leaves is visible when you smile.

We use crowns to cover a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, strengthening and improving its appearance. Crowns can be used to seal cracked teeth, to support a large filling when there is not enough of the tooth remaining, to protect weak teeth from fracturing, to restore fractured teeth, or to cover badly shaped or discolored teeth.

A bridge is a way of replacing a missing tooth that uses the teeth on either side of the lost one as anchors to hold the replacement tooth in place. If left unfilled, this space can cause the surrounding teeth to drift out of position and can cause teeth and gums to become more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease that can cause further tooth loss.

Contact Affinity Dental to find out which restorative procedure is right for you!

Mercury Free and Amalgam Fillings

At Affinity Dental we use Mercury-Free composite fillings to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks or fractures.

Composite fillings are tooth colored and can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth. They will also last many years, giving you a long lasting, beautiful smile.

Dental amalgam fillings used to be the most commonly used type of filling in Canada. However, bonded composite resin fillings are now the most popular choice of restorative material. The type of filling you choose with your dentist may depend on several factors, including the level of tooth decay and its specific location within the tooth structure, and the costs of the materials and whether they are covered by dental insurance. If you have an allergy to mercury or other metals, your dentist may recommend composite fillings instead of amalgam, as amalgam fillings contain small amounts of mercury.

Preventative Care

When it comes to dental health, prevention is the key to success. Our team is here to help you maintain optimum oral and overall health.

 

Preventative Hygiene

There are two major components to the prevention of cavities, gum disease and other dental problems: home care and professional care.

Home care involves regular and correct brushing and flossing. Our hygiene team will help you with your technique to ensure that you’re maximizing your home dental routine.

Professional care requires regular visits to Affinity Dental every six months so that our skilled hygienists can gently and comfortably remove plaque using an ultrasonic cleaner. It’s fast, comfortable and incredibly effective.

Sedation Dentistry

At Affinity Dental we do everything in our power to help our patients relax and enjoy the aesthetic and health benefits of our dentistry solutions.

If you are a nervous or fearful dental patient we are pleased to offer Oral Sedation in order to make your experience relaxing, pain-free, and positive.

Affinity Dental Sedation

Conscious Oral Sedation

Oral Sedation is an ideal option if you have a sensitive gag reflex, are anxious, or want the option of completing several procedures in one visit.

Your Sedation Dentistry appointment will help you feel comfortable while we provide you with a beautiful, healthy new smile.

Contact us to book an appointment or for more information about Sedation Dentistry.

Dentures

If you’re missing some or all of your teeth, and bridges or implants are not an option, Affinity Dental can put a smile back on your face by fitting you with a set of comfortable, natural-looking dentures.

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth which enable you to eat and speak with confidence again! Dentures also make you look younger by lifting your cheek and jaw muscles.

Contact Affinity Dental Clinic today for more information about our custom dentures.

Root Canal Therapy

We have extensive training in root canal therapy for patients experiencing the painful symptoms caused by extensive decay, tooth trauma, or gum disease.

A successful root canal treatment lets you keep your tooth rather than having it removed. Keeping your tooth helps to prevent your other teeth from drifting out of line and causing jaw problems.

With our modern dental techniques, root canal treatment can be seen as a convenient and effective way to get you out of pain – not an uncomfortable experience to be anxious about.

Fight Oral Cancer

Oral Cancer can be a potentially deadly type of cancer but if detected early, the survival rate for patients with oral cancer is 83%.

Late detection of oral cancer, however, gives patients only a 32% chance of survival.

What Is The VELscope System?

The VELscope is a safe and revolutionary handheld device that shines a blue light and highlights abnormal oral tissue and lesions that could indicate oral cancer. VELscope doesn’t use any dyes or rinses and is completely non-invasive and pain-free.

How Long Does An Exam Last?

A VELscope exam will typically take no more than 5 minutes and has no side effects. In this short time, your oral health care professional can investigate any abnormal oral tissue and help prevent not just oral cancer but fungal infections and bacterial growth.

Book Your VELscope Appointment

Early detection is Key in the fight against oral cancer so contact our friendly dental staff and book your VELscope appointment for your peace of mind and excellent oral health. Please feel free to ask us any questions about VELscope, online or on the phone.

We look forward to seeing you!
