Your Compassionate Guide to Oral Surgery and Implants

Facing the need for advanced dental work can feel overwhelming, but understanding your options is the first step toward a healthier, more confident smile. At SameDay Dental, we specialize in a comprehensive range of procedures, including Oral Surgery and Implants, delivered with a gentle touch and unwavering support for our patients across the GTA. We are here to guide you through every stage of your treatment, ensuring you feel informed, comfortable, and cared for from your initial consultation to your final follow up appointment.

Restoring Your Smile with Dental Implants

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone, acting as a new root. This creates a strong foundation for a custom made crown that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth. For patients missing multiple teeth or an entire arch, we offer innovative solutions like All on 4. This remarkable technique uses just four strategically placed implants to support a full set of beautiful, permanent teeth, often in a single day.

Preparing for Success: Foundational Procedures

Sometimes, preparatory work is needed to ensure the best possible outcome. Bone grafting is a common procedure used to build up jawbone density if it has diminished, creating a solid base for a future dental implant. Another procedure, crown lengthening, involves reshaping gum tissue and sometimes bone to expose more of the natural tooth. This is often done to support a new crown or improve the aesthetics of your smile. Our team will carefully assess your needs to determine if these treatments are right for you.

Extractions and Wisdom Teeth Removal

While we always aim to save natural teeth, sometimes an extraction is the healthiest option. This may be due to severe decay, damage, or crowding. We also specialize in wisdom teeth removal, a common oral surgery procedure to prevent future problems like pain, infection, and shifting of other teeth. Before any extraction, we will discuss your options, including sedation dentistry, to ensure your complete comfort. After the procedure, we provide detailed instructions for a smooth and speedy recovery at home.

Saving Natural Teeth with Endodontics

Endodontics focuses on treating the inside of the tooth. A root canal therapy is perhaps the most well known endodontic procedure, and it is designed to save a tooth that is badly infected or inflamed. Contrary to old myths, modern root canal therapy is a comfortable procedure that relieves pain and allows you to keep your natural tooth for years to come. It involves cleaning out the infected inner pulp, disinfecting the canals, and sealing the tooth to protect it.
