Excellence in Toronto and Scarborough
Looking for a dentist in Toronto who prioritizes prevention over treatment? At North Shores Dental and Cliffside Dental, we believe the best dental care is the kind that prevents problems before they start. Our comprehensive preventative dentistry approach serves families throughout Toronto and Scarborough with advanced techniques that go far beyond traditional cleanings.
Preventative dentistry involves establishing habits that will keep your teeth healthy, helping you avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and more. Since we began serving patients in Toronto and Scarborough, our goal has been a whole-body health approach that transforms how you think about dental care.
What Is Preventative Dentistry?
Preventative dentistry forms the foundation of excellent oral health. During your regular visit at North Shores Dental and Cliffside Dental, your dental hygienist will point out any issues that you may be having with your oral hygiene. Your hygienist will perform a dental prophylaxis, dental exam, an oral cancer exam, and take any necessary X-rays.
Prophylaxis refers to the preventive treatment that involves the thorough professional cleaning of the teeth and gums to remove plaque, tartar, and stains, helping to prevent gum disease and tooth decay. This comprehensive approach ensures that minor issues are caught early, when they’re much easier and less costly to address.
We will also evaluate the appearance of your teeth and recommend any aesthetic procedures that will enhance your smile, such as cosmetic or orthodontic procedures. Our dentist in Toronto and Scarborough understands that a healthy smile contributes to your overall confidence and wellbeing.
What Do We Do Differently With Our Preventative Care?
Advanced Biofilm Management Technology
We manage biofilm differently than traditional dental practices. Biofilm is a bacterial film that forms on teeth, leading to plaque, cavities, and gum disease. These bacteria create a protective environment that resists treatment, making biofilm management crucial for optimal oral health.
Air Polishing and Ultrasonic Scaling Technology
We use Air Polish and Ultrasonic Scaling Technology to effectively remove biofilm. Air Polishing combines air, water, and fine powder to gently remove biofilm and stains. Ultrasonic Scaling uses high-frequency vibrations to break down tartar and plaque below the gumline.
Our customizable settings allow multiple power and temperature adjustments, ensuring comfortable treatment for each patient. This personalized approach makes us the preferred choice for families seeking a dentist in Toronto and Scarborough.
Why Our Technology Is Superior
Effective Biofilm Removal
The combination of air polishing and ultrasonic scaling ensures thorough removal of biofilm, which is essential for preventing tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. This advanced technology allows us to achieve results that traditional cleaning methods simply cannot match.
Minimally Invasive Treatment
The technology is gentle and minimally invasive, making it more comfortable for patients compared to traditional scaling methods. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable and pleasant their cleaning experience becomes with our advanced equipment.
Improved Oral Health Outcomes
By effectively removing biofilm and stains, our technology helps improve overall oral health and can prevent the progression of gum disease and tooth decay. Patients who visit our practice regularly often experience dramatically improved oral health compared to their previous dental experiences.
Enhanced Patient Comfort
The customizable settings and gentle treatment approach ensure a comfortable experience for patients, reducing anxiety and discomfort during the procedure. We understand that dental anxiety is real, which is why we’ve invested in technology that makes your visit as pleasant as possible.
Time-Efficient Procedures
The procedure is quick and efficient, often taking less time than traditional methods while providing superior results. This means less time in the dental chair and more time enjoying your healthy, clean smile.
