Smile Like Yourself Again
Chipped, cracked, decayed, broken, and missing teeth can zap your self-confidence and leave your mouth sore and at risk of further problems. Our dentists at Pleasant Valley Dental offer a wide range of services to help restore your oral health and get you smiling again.
Our restorative services can help restore the structure of a badly damaged tooth, relieve pain caused by infection, or even replace multiple missing teeth. Whatever your smile needs to regain healthy function and appearance, we are confident you will find it at our clinic.
Our dental technology helps make the process quick and relatively painless, and in many cases, you can leave with a restored smile the very same day!
Same-Day Restorations
Using CEREC® technology, our dentists can take goop-free digital impressions and create a 3D model of your damaged tooth. This digital model allows your new crown, inlay or onlay to be precision-crafted from colour-matched ceramic while you wait. Your new restoration can be created and secured on the same day.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
The temporomandibular joint (or TMJ) is the hard-working hinge that connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull. Problems with this joint can lead to a variety of issues with your jaw and the muscles in your face. Our dentists can test for, diagnose and treat TMJ Disorder.
Periodontal (Gum) Therapy
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues of the mouth, including the gums, gingiva, alveolar bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament. This condition can range from mild gingivitis to severe periodontal disease. At Pleasant Valley Dental, our dentists offer a variety of treatment options to help restore good oral health.
Dental Crowns
Crowns are versatile restorations made of porcelain, metal or resin. They can be used to fortify the structure of a damaged tooth, secure a dental bridge, or hide severe discoloration. Custom-made to fit your tooth precisely, dental crowns can provide your tooth with the additional strength it needs to continue to function for many years to come.
Dental Bridges
If you’re missing a tooth or multiple teeth, you may be a good candidate for a dental bridge. Bridges consist of one or more replacement teeth anchored to surrounding teeth with crowns on either side. A dental bridge can help maintain your alignment and bite, filling the gap in your smile and allowing you to eat, speak, and smile naturally again.
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are tooth-coloured porcelain fillings used to repair cavities when the damage is too extensive for a standard dental filling. These restorations are custom-made to fit the damaged tooth precisely, then permanently cemented to the tooth as a single piece.
Dentures
Dentures are artificial tooth replacements that allow patients with missing teeth to keep their face structure, chew properly and speak well. Although they may take some getting used to, dentures can be a cost-effective way to replace one or more missing teeth in a row.
Dental Fillings
Our Vernon dentists fill cavities with a durable, natural-looking resin that stands up well to regular wear and tear and is colour-matched to your natural teeth. No one else needs to know you’ve had a cavity filled.
Root Canals
At Pleasant Valley Dental, PIPS root canal therapy is performed with our Fotona LightWalker® laser. Like a touchless car wash, PIPS removes the infected tooth root using acoustic shockwaves. If your tooth infection is particularly severe, or you’ve already had a root canal that failed, endodontic surgery may be necessary.
