Dentures
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices replacing lost teeth. There are two types of dentures – partial and full. Full dentures are often referred to as “false teeth”. Dentures are often made to fit very securely by having them snap onto implants.

Extractions
A severely damaged tooth may need to be extracted. Sometimes specific teeth may need to be removed for orthodontic treatment or to provide additional stability for more complex treatments.
Fillings and Repairs
Dental fillings and repairs use restorative materials to repair teeth that have been compromised due to cavities or trauma.
Gum Surgery
In some cases, gum surgery may be required to treat damage resulting from decay, or periodontal (gum) disease. Gum surgery may also precede other treatments such as crowns and bridges.
Sealants
Dental sealants, usually applied to the chewing surface of teeth, act as a barrier against decay-causing bacteria by sealing the deep grooves of the tooth. Most often, the sealants are applied to the back teeth, e.g., premolars and molars.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth naturally darken with age; however, staining may be caused by foods and beverages such as berries, coffee and tea, medications such as tetracycline, smoking or a trauma to a tooth. Dr. Ali offers professional take home whitening that is both reasonably priced and very effective.
Oral Cancer Examination
Oral cancer starts in the cells of the mouth, tongue or throat. Oral cancer screening is usually a routine part of dental examination. In this exam, your dentist will feel for lumps or irregular tissue changes in your neck, head, face, and inside your mouth. Your dentist will also look for sores or discolored tissue in your mouth.

Veneers
Veneers are strong, thin pieces of ceramic or resin material that are bonded to the teeth. Veneers are used to repair chipped, decayed or stained teeth and may help in closing gaps between teeth.
Bridges
Bridges are false teeth anchored in place by neighbouring teeth. The bridge consists of two crowns on the anchoring teeth along with the false tooth in the center.

Mouth Guards
When participating in sporting there is a risk of injuring or breaking teeth through contact with players, balls, sticks or other equipment. Custom-fitted sports guards provide protection and patients appreciate that they are easy to use. Like sports guards, custom fitted night guards provide comfort and protection against the harmful effects of teeth grinding or clenching.
Snoring or Sleep Apnea
Research has shown that undiagnosed sleep apnea can be the cause of some serious health issues. Dentists can play a key role in the treatment of certain sleep disorders, including snoring and sleep apnea. Depending on the severity, a dentist can make a dental appliance to address either condition for a patient.

Root canals treat diseased or abscessed teeth. Once a tooth is injured, cracked or decayed, it is necessary to clean out the infected tissue. This space is then sealed. It is often necessary to reinforce these teeth with a crown.
