  • Routine dental appointments are where the teeth and mouth are professionally cleaned to remove any built-up plaque and examined to detect any early signs of tooth decay or gum disease. During this appointment, the dental team can answer any questions and provide instructions for better at-home oral health care habits.
  • Dental sealants and fluoride treatments that can prevent tooth decay and strengthen the tooth’s enamel are commonly used for children.

Restorative care

Even with the best at-home dental habits, dental problems can occur. When they do, patients want to be treated by a team they trust. At Dentistry on Parkdale, patients can find treatments such as:

  • Tooth-colored fillings remove the damaged part of the tooth and replace it with a composite material that perfectly matches the natural enamel.
  • Crowns and bridges, dentures, and dental implants to restore teeth that are damaged or missing.
  • Dental extractions are for badly damaged teeth and can’t be saved, or that are causing alignment troubles or pain for the patient.

Cosmetic care

In many cases, patients want to change the appearance of their smiles. Dr. Ho can help patients address discoloration with professional teeth whitening that can be done in the office in less than two hours or at home over a period of several weeks.
