Dental veneers correct or cover many smile concerns, including chips, stubborn stains, white spots due to fluorosis, and uneven teeth! They are extremely thin, natural-looking porcelain shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth and are one of the more popular cosmetic dental treatments we offer.

You might consider veneers for your smile even if your teeth are:

• slightly overlapping or are a bit crooked
• a smidgeon off centre which skews the balance of your face
• straight and even but have gaps in between them
• somewhat chipped or worn down.

They are so convenient that you can have your new beautiful smile in as few as two appointments! If you think veneers may help you love your smile, call us to schedule a consultation and we’ll fit you right in! We’ll answer your questions, and together, we’ll determine if you are a candidate.

Your smile is your calling card. When it’s radiant, it signifies youthfulness and confidence, so nothing takes its toll on self-esteem like having missing teeth, few teeth, or no teeth. If this sounds like you, know that at Gentle Dental Vancouver, we’re committed to helping you claim your smile back. One dental appliance – dentures – can make a huge difference in how you feel, how you smile, and how you eat. Dentures are removable teeth that restore function to your mouth. And with today’s technology, they’re so lifelike that they’re difficult to detect!

A dental crown is a fixed prosthetic device, which simply means it’s a tooth restoration that you don’t remove – it stays permanently in your mouth to support, strengthen, or conceal a tooth. It also refines its shape, alignment, colour, and function. In days past, most dental crowns were made of gold, but now, because of their beauty, strength, and natural look, most dental crowns are made of porcelain. They’re so life-like, only you and your dentist in Vancouver – us! – know that you’re sporting one.

The most common uses for dental crowns include:

• preventing a weak tooth from breaking
• restoring a broken tooth
• preserving & supporting a tooth that has had root canal treatment
• supporting tooth structure when a significant portion of the tooth has been filled
• covering severely discolored or poorly shaped teeth
• affixing a replacement tooth when tooth loss has occurred.

Dental crowns are extremely durable and function the way your own teeth do. Let us help you love your functional and beautiful smile. Call today for your no-obligation consultation!

There are a variety of reasons why your dentist in Vancouver may need to remove one or more teeth. For example, this is a common procedure if your mouth or your child’s is crowded and we need to make room for orthodontic treatment. If one of your teeth becomes severely infected and root canal treatment isn’t an option, we will likely recommend this course of action to stop the spread of the infection. If untreated, an infection can pose serious health risks. Gum disease is another condition that may require tooth removal. Other dental issues that may make it necessary to perform an extraction include gum disease or dental trauma. If you need several teeth removed and are scared or anxious, we’ll help you relax with sedation.

A heavily decayed or infected tooth requires immediate treatment, especially when you don’t want to lose your tooth. As a dentist in Vancouver, we will remove the nerve and tooth pulp from the inside of your tooth, clean the tooth's interior, and seal the tooth to keep bacteria out. When treated promptly, a root canal can effectively save the tooth from extraction. Severe decay often results in needing a crown to restore strength, function, and appearance. If you require root canal therapy, we offer sedation to reduce dental fear or anxiety.
