General Dentistry in Scarborough ON

family of three smiling | general dentist scarboroughYour trusted general dentist helps you achieve and maintain a healthy and problem-free smile.

At Dentistry at Alton Towers, we provide a wide range of dental services for every member of the family, making it simple for Scarborough and Markham families to get all the vital dental care they need in one convenient location.

Preventive Dentistry Promotes Health Smiles

The foundation of our dental practice is preventive dentistry, which includes routine teeth cleanings, x-rays, and exams. During these appointments, our dentists can detect early signs of problems like tooth wear, gum disease, tooth decay, and breakdown of dental restorations.

These early concerns can become problematic in the future if you’re not proactive about treating them. For example, we can treat tooth decay detected early on with a simple filling. If decay progresses further into the tooth, it will eventually reach the pulp and nerve, where it will cause a painful infection and require root canal treatment. 

Being proactive about visiting your Scarborough dentist every six months for teeth cleanings and checkups protects your dental health, overall well-being, and budget, saving you from more costly dental procedures.

The Oral Systemic Connection

Did you know your oral health is closely connected with your overall health? We now understand the link between gum disease and other chronic health concerns, such as:

  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Diabetes
  • Dementia
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Stroke

Gum disease has also been linked with causing complications during pregnancy and low birth weight in babies.

Consistent preventive teeth cleanings and checkups are your best defence against gum disease. We can spot the early signs, and you may be able to successfully manage or reverse the condition with improvements to your home care routine.

Restorative and Cosmetic Dentistry for Beautiful, Functional Smiles

Frequently Asked Questions

Preventive teeth cleanings and exams are among the best ways to protect your smile and dental health. Healthy patients should visit their dentist in Scarborough every six months for teeth cleanings and exams.

Our dentists will customize a hygiene schedule for patients managing gum disease who may need additional teeth cleanings throughout the year to maintain their smiles.  

We Can Identify Problems Early On

It's much easier to treat common dental concerns like tooth decay and gum disease before they become more significant problems.

For example, when our dentists spot tooth decay, they can likely treat it with a small, less invasive filling. If the decay progresses into your tooth because it's not diagnosed or treated, it can then reach the nerve or pulp of the tooth, where it will cause a painful infection that requires root canal treatment. 

Being proactive about your dental health by visiting your dentist consistently every six months can save you time in the dental chair, stress, and strain on your budget with costly dental treatments. 

Let Us Help You Protect Your Smile!

Dental Sedation in Scarborough, ON

At Dentistry at Alton Towers, we understand that dental visits are not pleasant and stress-free for every patient. Many people experience anxiety or fear about their dental visits, and that's why we offer several options for sedation dentistry in Scarborough. Dental sedation can help you relax and feel at ease in the dental chair so you can comfortably complete the treatment you need to maintain a healthy and problem-free smile.

Dental sedation in Scarborough includes these options:

  • Nitrous oxide—Our lightest sedation option is a breathable mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide that helps you relax during dental procedures without leaving lasting side effects. 
  • Oral sedation–A deeper level of relaxation that keeps you responsive while you feel like you're sleeping. Delivered through a pill taken an hour before your treatment procedure. 
  • IV sedation–The deepest sedation we offer, with medication delivered intravenously. It is an ideal option for those with severe dental phobia, special needs, significant gag reflexes, and extensive treatment plans. 

If you choose oral or IV sedation, you'll need to pre-arrange transportation to and from your dental appointment. Our dentists can help you decide which level of sedation would be best for your needs. Contact our team at (416) 297-5855 for more information.
