Welcome To Maple Ridge Family Dental – Your Dentist in London

Invisalign is a form of orthodontic treatment that’s designed to straighten your teeth and correct abnormal bite patterns. Unlike with traditional braces, there are no metal brackets and arch wires involved; instead, clear plastic trays fit over your top and bottom row of teeth. The pressure these trays exert on your teeth encourages bone movement over time.

In recent years, Invisalign has become a popular alternative for many people. However, before you receive any orthodontic work, it’s important to speak with your dentist first. They’ll be able to let you know if you’re an ideal candidate for this process. If you require more extensive care, you may need to receive traditional braces.

Yes! We offer dental bridges to patients who need them. A dental bridge is a means of restoring your smile and replacing missing teeth. There are four types of dental bridges that you can receive; be sure to contact our dental team to learn more about which is best for you.

You’ll need to come in for at least two separate appointments to receive a dental bridge. This prosthetic is customized to satisfy your oral dimensions precisely.

It depends on the type of treatment you’re receiving.

If you’re interested in brightening up your teeth through teeth whitening, this can be done in a single appointment that lasts anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes. In comparison, receiving dental crowns and veneers will require you to come in for at least two separate visits. This is because your crown and veneers need to be made at an external dental lab first. Once they’re ready, you’ll return to have them installed.

After your implants have been installed, you may experience facial swelling, bruising, and some minor bleeding around the surgical site. This is normal. Your dentist will most likely prescribe Advil or Tylenol to help you manage the pain in the following days. Brushing very gently around the site and eating soft foods like soup and yogurt for the next day or two will allow your mouth to heal.

Practicing good oral habits like daily brushing and flossing, coming in to see your dentist on a regular basis, and not using your teeth to open packages or chewing on ice will help you maintain your implants in the long term.
