General Dentistry in Barrie: Our Services for Adults
This article is general information for our patients, not a diagnosis. If something in your mouth hurts, changes, or worries you, have it examined.
Most of dentistry is steady, preventive work that keeps small problems from becoming big ones. Here is what we do for adults, and where to read more about each.
Checkups, cleanings and healthy gums
The foundation of everything: a regular exam to catch problems while they are small, a professional clean, and looking after your gums. Read about checkups, cleanings and scaling and how we treat gum disease — the quiet condition behind most adult tooth loss.
Fillings and tooth decay
When decay gets through the enamel, a filling repairs the tooth before it reaches the nerve. Our guide explains how cavities and fillings work and how to stop new ones forming.
Root canals and saving teeth
When decay or a crack reaches the living centre of a tooth, root canal treatment clears the infection and keeps the tooth. If you are weighing it up, we also explain how we decide whether to save a tooth or remove it.
Crowns and rebuilding damaged teeth
A crown — a cap that covers a badly worn, cracked or root-treated tooth — rebuilds it so you can bite normally again. We will tell you honestly when a tooth needs one and when a simpler repair will do.
Removing and replacing teeth
Sometimes a tooth cannot be saved. We make having a tooth removed as straightforward as possible, and we can talk through replacing a missing tooth with an implant or bridge, or with dentures if several are gone.
Sensitive teeth, grinding and jaw pain
If something aches rather than throbs, the cause is often everyday: sensitive teeth, grinding and cracked teeth, or jaw pain and TMJ. Each has a guide explaining what helps.
Calmer visits for nervous patients
If the dentist makes you anxious, tell us — we go slower, explain more, and offer options to take the edge off. Our guide covers anxiety and sedation options and who they suit.
Dental emergencies
In pain or swollen? We make time for emergencies as quickly as we can — see our emergency dental care page for who to call and what we treat.
Does the CDCP cover this?
Often, yes. We welcome patients covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), and our team will help you understand what it covers.
