What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning
Comprehensive exam
Gum health check
Your gums are evaluated for any signs of gingivitis or inflammation.
Tartar and plaque removal
Using special ultrasonic instruments and hand scalers, we carefully remove hardened tartar and plaque from your teeth, including those hard-to-reach areas.
Professional flossing
We floss between your teeth to clear out any remaining debris or plaque.
Polishing
Next, we polish your teeth with a gentle polishing paste, which removes surface stains and leaves your enamel shiny and smooth.
Fluoride treatment
As a final optional step, we can apply a fluoride gel or foam to strengthen your tooth enamel and help prevent future cavities.
Benefits of Regular Dental Cleanings
Brighter smile and fresher breath
Removing built-up plaque and surface stains makes your teeth look cleaner, and your breath smell fresher.
Early problem detection
During your cleaning visit, our team can spot early signs of issues like cavities or gum disease before they become serious.
Prevent gum disease
Professional cleanings remove plaque bacteria below the gumline, helping to prevent gingivitis and periodontal disease.
Avoid tooth loss
Keeping your gums healthy with regular cleanings helps maintain the support for your teeth, reducing the risk of teeth becoming loose or lost due to gum disease.
Partial Dentures in Calgary
Losing natural teeth can make everyday activities like eating and speaking a challenge. At Buffalo Run Dental, we offer partial dentures to restore the function and appearance of your smile. Dentures are removable false teeth crafted to look like your natural teeth and fit comfortably in your mouth. Modern dentures are lighter, more natural-looking, and more comfortable than ever, making them a great option for patients of any age who are missing teeth.
Comfortable fit
Our dentures are custom-made for you, ensuring they sit securely and comfortably so you can wear them all day without irritation.
Enjoy your favourite foods
With dentures, you can bite and chew effectively again. You’ll have far fewer restrictions on what you can eat compared to living with missing teeth.
Maintain facial structure
Replacing missing teeth with dentures helps support your facial muscles and jawbone. Dentures slow down bone loss in the jaw, helping maintain your face’s natural shape and profile.
Restore your smile & confidence
Filling the gaps in your smile with well-crafted dentures removes the self-consciousness of missing teeth. You’ll be able to speak clearly and smile broadly without worry.
Getting dentures typically involves a few appointments. Our dentists will start by taking precise impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth. These impressions are used to fabricate your custom denture teeth in a dental lab, matching the colour and shape to look as natural as possible. When your dentures are ready, we ensure they fit properly and make any necessary adjustments for comfort. We’ll also guide you on caring for your dentures – including how to clean them and when to remove them – so that they last and function well. Although it can take a short period to get used to speaking and eating with dentures, most patients adapt quickly and appreciate being able to enjoy a full smile again.
