General Dentistry is all aspects of dental care. At Corners Dentistry, we educate patients to maintain healthy teeth and gums and diagnose and treat problems of the teeth, gums and mouth. Things such as Cleanings & Oral Exams are used to keep your teeth and gums healthy, and catch early signs of dental disease. Other work such as Crowns & Bridgework are used to replace lost tooth structure and/or missing teeth. We can perform Extractions, to remove unhealthy teeth that may not be able to be saved. During all your dental visits, we make sure you are comfortable!

Types of General Dentistry
Bonding
Dental bonding involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin material to change the shape, size or color of your teeth.
Crowns
Dental crowns are permanent caps placed on weak or damaged teeth to protect and cover a tooth. They can be made of materials like metal, ceramic or porcelain.
Bridgework
A dental bridge can help if you have a missing tooth or teeth. A bridge fills in the gap and helps restore your bite, smile and oral health.
Root Canal
Root canal therapy is used to treat an infected or abscessed tooth. It eliminates infection by removing the nerves and tissues inside of a tooth.
Gum Disease Therapy
Your medical history will be used to identify underlying conditions and the dentists will examine your gums for signs of inflammation.
Implants
Dental implants are metal screws that hold dental crowns, bridges or dentures in place. They’re a dental tool for replacing missing teeth.
Invisalign
Invisalign works to straighten your teeth by using a series of clear, comfortable and removable aligners which move your teeth gradually into the desired position.
Routine Exams
A routine exam has two main parts: 1.) Full check-up of your of your teeth and gums 2.) Standard dental x-rays. You will have a full visual check up of your mouth.
Oral Cancer Screening
During an oral cancer screening exam, your dentist looks over the inside of your mouth to check for sores, tissues lumps or other abnormalities.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are used to treat a range of teeth issues from chipped and worn teeth to stained or discoloured teeth.
Teeth Cleaning
A routine teeth cleaning is usually every 6 months with one of our expert hygienists to remove plaque build up, remove bacteria, floss, clean, and polish your teeth.
Dentures
Dentures are used to help bring back somebody’s smile when their own teeth are missing. Traditionally they have been removable, but dentures now can be secured in place.
Sealants
Dental sealant is a thin, plastic coating painted on the chewing surfaces of teeth, usually the back teeth (the premolars and molars), to prevent tooth decay.
Teeth Whitening
We offer several teeth whitening options, ranging from our custom-made take-home kits to in-practice procedures.
Tooth Extractions
Using specialized dental instruments and numbing, your dentist will gently loosen your tooth and carefully lift it from its socket.
