Gum Grafting
Gum grafting is typically recommended for patients experiencing moderate to severe gum recession. Gum recession can happen for several reasons, including periodontal (gum) disease, genetics, and physical wear, and can cause bone loss or tooth sensitivity. If your gums have started receding, we may recommend a gum grafting procedure.
Oral Cancer Screening
Catching and diagnosing oral cancer as quickly as possible is the best way to ensure treatment efficacy. During oral exams and new patient exams, we will conduct an oral cancer screening. This is a quick, simple process where your gums, throat, and mouth tissues will be examined for irregularities.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings designed to protect your teeth from decay. A dental sealant is usually applied on the chewing surfaces of molars and pre-molars. We typically recommend dental sealants for children and teenagers, though adults can also benefit from having a sealant applied.
Dental X-Rays
Expo Yaletown provides digital X-rays as part of our oral and new patient exams. These X-rays are a quick, safe, and non-invasive form of preventative dental care. A dental X-ray will assess your teeth for issues including cavities, decay, and bone loss.
Root Canals and Tooth Extractions
If you are suffering from oral issues such as temperature sensitivities, constant pain, or swollen gums, you may be in need of a root canal. Many patients are apprehensive about having a root canal, but rest assured–all of our root canals are performed safely and by professional dentists.
Tooth extractions are often performed as a preventative measure. When one of your teeth is infected or damaged, those problems may spread to other areas of the mouth and cause more issues down the line. By extracting the tooth that’s causing the problem, we can eliminate the risk at its source.
