What does it mean?

Dental terminology can be a little confusing, and sometimes you may not be sure of what type of treatment you might need. Here are some common terms to keep you well informed.

Missing teeth

Missing teeth can be the result of injury, neglect, genetics, gum disease and more. It can affect
your appearance, confidence, function and even general health. And if you can’t chew food
properly, maintaining proper nutrition can be difficult.

We offer several services to replace missing teeth. We would be happy to meet with you to discuss what your best option would be:
• Implants
• Dentures
• Bridges

Bleeding gums

Bleeding gums are usually caused by plaque deposits under and above the gum tissue. Healthy gums should not bleed. This problem can be an indication of gum disease and can lead to bone and tooth loss. Often through assessment, thorough cleaning and maintenance, the condition can be brought under control.

Some of the services to help stop bleeding gums include:
• Oral hygiene instruction
• Stain removal & cleaning
