General Dentistry
We offer the complete line of dental procedures as licensed by the Alberta Dental Association. The procedures include:
Cleanings – Scaling and root planing are completed by our dental hygienist. Polishing, fluoride, and sealants may be completed by a Hygienist or Dental Assistant.
Sealants – Thin plastic coatings are placed on the chewing surface of teeth to prevent decay.
Root canals – This is done to a tooth that is dying or has already died, possibly by a large cavity or a blow to the face or fracture of the tooth. This is done by removing the dead nerves of the tooth and replacing it with filling material. We do root canals so we can keep the tooth in our mouth and not have to lose it.
Crowns – Severely broken down teeth can be restored to normal function by reshaping and crowning (capping) the tooth.
Fixed Bridges – Bridges are bonded in place and are required for maintaining the space from a missing tooth. They prevent teeth from shifting and help maintain proper occlusion (bite).
Oral Surgery – Extractions, biopsy, and minor gum and bone surgery can be completed in our office. Complicated cases will be sent to specialists who work with general anesthetic.
Partial and Full Dentures – These appliances are removable and serve to replace missing teeth.
Implants – They are a screw that is surgically placed in the jaw. Then a crown or bridge or denture is placed over top. Dr. Clancy is part of an implant study club that meets once a month.
Cosmetic Dentistry – If you are not totally pleased with your smile, modern dentistry has much to offer that can enhance your natural smile. Some common problems that are often easily corrected are: discolored teeth, gaps between teeth, and missing or chipped teeth.
Some avenues available to improve or enhance your natural smile include:
Bonding – This is the application of a composite(white filling) material which is actually bonded to the tooth and it can be shaped to rebuild or cosmetically sculpt the tooth into the desired shape.
Porcelain Veneers – This is the application of porcelain tooth colored shell to the face to the front teeth. The veneers can improve color, shape and texture.
Whiting - Bleaching or lightening is a process that involves the application of a bleaching agent to lighten teeth. The process takes about 14 – 21 days and can be completed at home and is also monitored by our office. We also offer Zoom Whitening.
Orthodontics – Invisalign offered by Dr. Clancy or Orthodontist Dr. Bleau once a month
