Teeth Whitening

Teeth naturally darken with age. Staining may also be be caused by different foods and beverages such as coffee, tea and berries, some drugs such as tetracycline, smoking, or trauma to a tooth. Tooth whitening is a very safe and effective way to whiten your teeth and make you look younger.

Laser Dentistry

Millions of people suffer from debilitating gum disease, and it all begins with bacteria growing around the teeth. This causes infection, triggering the body’s inflammatory response and soon leads to the destruction of the gum and bone around the teeth. If gum disease is left untreated, it can cause loose teeth, exposed roots, bad breath, bleeding, swelling, pain…and eventually the loss of your teeth. In fact, gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. Many Studies also show that gum disease affects your overall health as well.

If you suffer from periodontal (gum) disease, all is not lost! In fact, the professional dental services of Dr Seema Steffens Dentistry can help you turn back the clock on periodontal disease using laser gum treatment technology. Also known as laser periodontics, laser gum surgery stops the infection and eliminates the bacteria that causes gum disease. With years of experience in laser gum therapy, you can count on Dr. Steffens to provide you with the absolute best dental care for your periodontal disease.

Implants, Crowns, Bridges

If your tooth is damaged but not lost, a crown (also called a cap) can be used to restore its shape, appearance and function. A crown is a hollow artificial tooth that is placed on an individual tooth (somewhat like a thimble over you finger) when there is no longer sufficient tooth structure to support a filling and or when a tooth has been treated with a root canal. A crown restores the tooth and protects your tooth from further damage. A tooth that has been fixed with a crown looks and works very much like a natural tooth.

The process of making a crown includes a number of steps, beginning with preparing and taking impressions of the tooth/teeth involved. A temporary crown is then placed on your teeth. Meanwhile, the impressions are sent to the lab where this mold of your teeth is poured and the work begins. The completed work is sent back to Dr. Steffens; after inspection and any necessary adjustments, she will cement the crown onto your tooth.

Bridges and implants are two ways to replace your missing teeth. A bridge spans a space where one or more teeth have been lost in a dental arch. The teeth on either end of the span are crowned and referred to as abutments. Bridges are false teeth that are anchored in place by neighbouring teeth. The bridge is made up of of two crowns on the abutment (anchoring) teeth along with the false tooth (pontic) in the centre. Bridges are cemented to your natural teeth and are fixed in place. Fixed bridges are applied by either placing crowns on the abutment teeth or by bonding the artificial teeth directly to the abutment teeth.

Dental implants are used to replace missing roots and support replacement teeth. Dental implants are used to support false teeth or a fixed bridge. You must have healthy gums and bone (under your teeth) to support the implant. Your dentist (or oral surgeon) will put a small metal post into your jawbone. Over time, the post will bond with the bone around it. The post (or implant) will act like an anchor to hold one or more false teeth in place.

Family Dentistry

As a mother, Dr. Steffens knows that your children's health and comfort are paramount. We see children at the age of one or at the sign of their first tooth. We love families and continue to see many long-term families over the years.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Dental treatment like dental bonding and veneers are used to fix cavities and broken teeth but can also be used as part of Cosmetic Dentistry to improve the look of healthy teeth. Veneers are applied to the entire front surface of the tooth, whereas bonding is applied to a smaller portion of the tooth. Bonding and veneers make your teeth look better by changing their colour, shape, angle or spacing. Dr. Steffens can fix teeth that are chipped, broken, discoloured, cracked or that have spaces between them. Cosmetic dental treatment can improve your smile and give you more confidence.

Veneers are thin but strong pieces of ceramic or resin that are bonded directly to your teeth.

Bonding is the term used to describe applying a tooth colored composite resin to repair teeth that are fractured, chipped, discoloured or decayed. Bonding can also close tooth gaps and bonding is done directly by Dr. Steffens.

Gum Recession

PINHOLE SURGICAL TECHNIQUETM

PINHOLE SURGICAL TECHNIQUETM

EFFECTIVE PERIODONTAL GUM DISEASE TREATMENT PERFORMED BY DR. STEFFENS

DR. STEFFENS IS AN ADVANCED PINHOLE CLINICIAN. While there are certified pinhole clinicians who can perform the surgery, only a handful of select dentists worldwide have earned the designation of Advanced Pinhole Clinician.

When it comes to mild gum recession, a deep cleaning may be all that is necessary to prevent and reverse the damage. However, more severe cases of gum recession leave the roots of the teeth exposed, setting the stage for tooth decay, tooth sensitivity, tooth infection, and tooth loss which require more diligent and effective restorative techniques to solve these oral health problems.

Dr. Steffens and her dental professionals specialize in the Pinhole Surgical Technique, a minimally-invasive procedure that offers an alternative to traditional gum grafting. This scalpel-free, suture-free gum treatment reduces the amount of post-operative symptoms you would normally expect with dental surgery and provides instant gum rejuvenation to your smile.

WHAT IS THE PINHOLE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE (PSTTM) AND HOW IS IT PERFORMED?

Pinhole gum surgery is a noninvasive pinhole procedure for treating gum recession. To perform the technique, a certified pinhole clinician uses a needle to make a small hole in the patient’s existing gum tissue. Through this pinhole, the gum tissue is gently loosened by special instruments that help expand and slide the gumline to cover the exposed root structure. With no cutting, stitching, or grafts required, you can expect minimal swelling, pain, and bleeding after the gum treatment is complete.

Laughing Gas

Nitrous oxide, sometimes called “laughing gas,” is one option Dr. Steffens may offer to help make you more comfortable during certain procedures.

Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedative agent that is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a small mask that fits over your nose to help you relax. It is not intended to put you to sleep. You will be able to hear and respond to any requests or directions Dr. Steffens or her team may have. Dr. Steffens will ask you to breathe normally through your nose, and within a few short minutes you should start to feel the effects of the nitrous oxide. You may feel light-headed or a tingling in your arms and legs. Ultimately, you should feel calm and comfortable.

This is the only form of sedation where you may be able to drive yourself home after the procedure. Please be sure to not eat or drink anything 2 hours before your dental appointment if you are having Nitrous Oxide Sedation.

Talk to Dr. Steffens and her team to see if nitrous oxide is a good option for you.
