Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a government initiative to assist uninsured Canadians in accessing essential dental care. By covering a portion of oral health care costs, the CDCP plays a vital role in enhancing the dental health of Canadians. Our office is conveniently located downtown and offers easy access for anyone seeking our services.
A dental emergency involves any oral injury resulting in uncontrollable bleeding, intense pain, or fractured facial bones. If neglected, these emergencies can escalate, potentially causing infections, tooth instability, or even loss of teeth. Dental emergencies can strike unexpectedly at any time or place. However, there’s no need to worry. Give us a call with your concerns, and our experienced doctors will be glad to assist you.
Root canal treatment, or endodontics, is a procedure to address infections within the tooth’s core. Contrary to common belief, root canal therapy is typically painless and can preserve a tooth that might otherwise require extraction. Indicators that you might need a root canal include tooth pain, swollen gums, a pimple on your gums, a swollen jaw, and tooth discoloration. However, needing a root canal without experiencing any noticeable symptoms is also possible.
Bruxism, commonly known as teeth grinding, involves the involuntary gnashing, grinding, or clenching of teeth. This condition can occur both during waking hours (awake bruxism) and while sleeping (sleep bruxism). The impact of bruxism extends beyond the affected individual, as it can also disturb those around them. For sufferers, continuous grinding and clenching can lead to significant dental wear and, in some instances, trigger temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, resulting in headaches. Symptoms such as headaches, facial pain, earaches, or sore jaw muscles indicate a dental consultation to determine if a night guard is necessary.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer arises when abnormal cell growth occurs in the mouth or throat. Heavy tobacco use significantly increases the risk of developing this disease. Regular visits to a dentist are crucial to ensure you remain healthy. Oral cancer screening, conducted by a dentist or doctor, involves checking for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in the mouth. Detecting oral cancer early greatly improves the chances of successful treatment. Our downtown office welcomes you to schedule a screening conveniently and safeguard your oral health.
Periodontal (gum) disease is an infection affecting the tissues that support your teeth, primarily resulting from inadequate brushing and flossing. This neglect leads to plaque accumulation, a sticky bacterial film that eventually hardens. Many patients experience gum sensitivity, redness, swelling, tenderness, or bleeding symptoms. In such cases, it is essential to have the plaque professionally removed by experienced dentists, as it can otherwise harden into calculus or tartar, complicating treatment.
dental implant
A dental implant is a surgically placed component designed to bond with the jawbone or skull, providing stable support for dental prosthetics like crowns, bridges, dentures, or facial devices. The advantages of dental implants include their durability, aesthetic appeal, functional efficiency, positive impact on bone health, and overall convenience. Dental implants significantly enhance oral health and overall well-being as a long-lasting solution for tooth loss.
Prosthodontics, a distinct field within dentistry, focuses on crafting dental prosthetics to replace or restore damaged or missing teeth. Dentures are an excellent remedy for individuals who have lost some or all of their teeth. Depending on the extent of tooth loss, your dentist might suggest either full or partial dentures. These dental solutions help patients regain a confident smile and allow them to enjoy a wide variety of foods with ease.
Numerous issues can affect teeth, such as cavities, also known as dental caries. Dental caries develop when acids from oral bacteria gradually erode the enamel and dentin, the key components of teeth. To address these problems, dentists focus on repairing or replacing the damaged or missing teeth. Fillings, special materials your dentist applies, are used to fix tooth decay or surface imperfections. Restorative dentistry effectively resolves these issues, restoring the tooth’s form and function.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is an excellent way to boost your confidence. Techniques for whitening teeth include sanding away stains, bleaching, ultraviolet (UV) light therapy, and more. These methods make your natural teeth appear brighter and whiter. It’s important to note that all widely used teeth whitening methods are generally safe when performed according to the manufacturer’s or dentist’s guidelines.
Sedation Dentistry (Sleep Dentistry)
Sedation dentistry is among the exceptional services provided by Bite Dental. Let us know if you experience anxiety or fear about visiting the dentist. For patients needing assistance to relax before or during their appointment, we offer conscious sedation with either nitrous oxide “laughing gas” or oral sedative pre-medication. This approach uses medication to help patients stay calm during dental procedures. It’s important to note that patients remain awake except when under general anesthesia.
Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a variety of dental procedures aimed at enhancing the appearance of teeth, gums, and bites. This field focuses on improving dental aesthetics, including color, position, shape, size, alignment, and overall smile appearance. At Bite Dental in Toronto, we offer a comprehensive range of cosmetic dentistry services, such as teeth whitening, contouring, shaping, and veneers. These treatments can correct tooth color, close gaps, and repair cracks, helping you achieve a beautiful smile.
Bite Dental is a comprehensive dental clinic located in downtown Toronto. One of our primary services is general dentistry, which includes diagnosing, preventing, and treating various oral health conditions. Our treatments are designed to keep your mouth, gums, and teeth healthy and pain-free. New patients at Bite Dental can expect a thorough dental examination to provide a complete assessment of their oral health.
Discover a cutting-edge method for achieving a beautifully aligned smile at our Toronto dental clinic, which is located downtown. Invisalign represents a new orthodontic solution designed to enhance the alignment of your teeth. Like traditional wire-and-bracket braces, this treatment gradually guides your teeth into better positions, resulting in an improved and more aesthetic smile. The key difference lies in Invisalign’s use of clear, removable aligners. Invisalign offers a more precise and comfortable experience than metal braces by applying controlled force to specific teeth at different stages of the treatment.
