At Dr. Danny Wong Dental Office, we offer custom-made night guards designed to protect your teeth from grinding and clenching while you sleep. These appliances are professionally made in a dental laboratory after taking a mould of your teeth.

Night guards may be recommended for patients who experience nighttime teeth grinding. Many patients may not even realize they are grinding their teeth, but prolonged grinding may cause significant damage to the teeth, headaches, and relevant muscle and jaw joint inflammation or pain due to the excessive pressure on the teeth, jaw, and surrounding muscles.

If you think you may be grinding your teeth at night, or if you’re unsure whether a night guard is right for you, don’t hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to discuss your options and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Tooth extraction is the process of removing a tooth from the mouth when it is no longer viable or causing problems. There are several reasons why a tooth may need to be removed, including:

• Severe tooth decay or infection
• Advanced gum disease
• Impacted wisdom teeth
• A baby tooth preventing the adult tooth from coming out
• Orthodontic treatment needs

We understand that the idea of removing teeth can cause anxiety for some patients. However, our experienced dental team at Dr. Danny Wong Dental Office is committed to ensuring that your procedure is as comfortable as possible. We take the time to explain the process, answer any questions you may have, and provide the necessary aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery.

At Dr. Danny Wong Dental Office, we are dedicated to ensuring your child’s oral health from a young age. As a family-friendly dental clinic, we understand the importance of making your child feel comfortable and safe during their visits. We take the time to educate both parents and children about maintaining healthy oral hygiene habits, while recommending any important dental treatments to promote long-term dental health. We focus on creating a welcoming and positive experience for young patients, helping them build a healthy relationship with dental care that lasts a lifetime.

Dental x-rays are important diagnostic tools that help detect hidden dental issues not visible to the naked eye. They allow us to identify cavities, infections, bone loss, and other concerns early, ensuring a more accurate treatment plan and preventing potential complications.

At Dr. Danny Wong’s Dental Office, we use advanced digital x-ray technology, which is:

✔ Highly efficient with instant imaging results

✔ Low radiation exposure- significantly less than traditional x-rays

✔ Comparable to everyday exposure—a routine exam with 2-4 bitewing x-rays (where top and bottom teeth bite together) emits less radiation than a 1 to 2 hour airplane flight

A dental crown is a protective “cap” that replaces tooth structure and protects the damaged or weakened tooth.

Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly and prompt treatment is key to preventing further complications.

If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies as a dental emergency, give us a call, and our team will guide you on the next steps. Your oral health and comfort are our top priorities.

At Dr. Danny Wong Dental Office, we believe that preventive dentistry is key to maintaining oral health. We recommend scheduling a dental checkup and professional cleaning at least once every six months to ensure the ongoing health of your teeth and gums. Regular dental visits allow us to detect issues like tooth decay, gum disease, or other potential oral health problems early- helping to prevent the need for more extensive treatments later on. In addition to these routine exams, practicing good oral hygiene at home, including regular brushing and flossing, is essential for keeping your teeth and gums in optimal condition. By prioritizing preventive care, you are making an investment in your long-term oral health. Contact us today to schedule your next checkup and dental cleaning.

Similar to our routine dental examinations, we recommend visiting us at least twice a year for professional dental cleaning. While daily brushing and flossing are essential, they may not be enough to remove all plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath. Regular cleanings help prevent oral health issues before they become serious, keeping your smile healthy and bright. During your appointment, our experienced dental team strives to gently and thoroughly remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, giving you a cleaner and fresher smile.

Gum disease often begins with gum inflammation commonly caused by plaque and tartar buildup. It may lead to symptoms such as bleeding gums when brushing or flossing. If left untreated, gum disease can progress from mild gingivitis to the more serious form of periodontitis, potentially resulting in tooth loss.

Stages of Gum Disease

• Gingivitis: The early stage of gum disease, sometimes causing red, swollen gums that bleed during brushing or flossing. Good oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings can usually reverse this stage.
• Periodontitis: If gingivitis is left untreated, it can advance to periodontitis, which causes bone loss around the teeth, leading to loose teeth and, eventually, tooth loss. This requires more advanced treatment to prevent further damage.

Why Early Treatment Matters

Addressing gum disease early can prevent or reduce gum disease progression and the need for complex treatments. Routine cleanings, proper home care, and, if necessary, more specialized gum treatments can help restore and maintain your gum health. If you notice signs of gum disease, such as bleeding gums, swollen gums, or bad breath, don’t wait- schedule a visit with us today. Our team can evaluate your condition and create a customized treatment plan with you!

Fillings are important for restoring decayed or chipped teeth, and white fillings offer the added benefit of blending seamlessly with your natural tooth colour for a more natural look. Whether it’s for a small cavity or a more significant repair, our team will carefully assess your teeth to determine if white fillings are the most appropriate option for your needs.

When bacteria enter the tooth through a deep cavity, crack, or trauma, it can cause infection or damage to the tooth. In such cases, a root canal may be suggested to save the tooth and relieve pain.

Common symptoms that may indicate the need for root canal treatment include:

• Sharp or severe tooth pain
• Increased sensitivity to hot or cold foods or beverages
• Tooth pain that keeps you up at night
• Lingering pain
• Intense pain while biting or chewing
• Tooth pain that doesn’t respond to over-the-counter pain relief

Root canal treatment typically involves the following steps:

1. Removing the infected or damaged tissue from the tooth’s canal
2. Cleaning, disinfecting, and filling the root canal to prevent further infection.
3. Restoring the tooth with a filling or crown, based on your specific needs and the extent of the damage.

Root canal treatments may take one or more appointments, depending on the individual needs. If you experience any of these symptoms or suspect you may need a root canal, don’t hesitate to contact us for a consultation.

A dental bridge may be used to replace missing teeth by bridging the gap between healthy teeth. It involves attaching a natural-looking artificial tooth to the surrounding teeth, restoring both function and appearance. If you are considering a dental bridge or unsure which option is best for you, contact us to schedule a consultation and learn more about how a dental bridge can improve your smile and overall oral health.
