Preventative Services
A comprehensive dental exam involves the discussion of what the patient’s treatment needs and expectations are.
An important part of the comprehensive exam is the detailed complete dental exam which specifically looks at your periodontal (gum) health. Following this exam, every side of each tooth is checked for decay and existing fillings, crowns, implants, root canals, cavities, fractures and tooth problems are charted. Also, dental x-rays may be needed to assess further decay, infections or tooth problems. Read More…
A dental check up or recall exam usually occurs at the same time as the regularly scheduled cleaning appointments. These check up appointments are individualized based on each patient’s specific needs. It is an opportunity for the dentist to examine the teeth, monitor any changes in cavity formation and gum disease, assess soft tissues and discuss any new dental problems or concerns.

Night guards are a custom made appliance that are worn either on the top or bottom dental arches while sleeping. They can help protect teeth from the ill effects of clenching and grinding and can ease the symptoms of TMD.
Sports guards or mouth guards are custom made appliances worn to protect the teeth when an individual is playing contact sports. They act to not only protect the teeth but also help to prevent injuries that can occur when your lower teeth and jaw make heavy contact against the upper teeth and jaw. Read More...
Restorative Services
Tooth coloured restorative fillings are also called composite resin restorations or white fillings. These types of fillings are placed in decayed or fractured teeth. Tooth coloured fillings are built up in thin layers and bond directly to the remaining tooth structure.

During root canal treatment, the infected pulp is removed and the interior of the tooth is systematically cleaned, disinfected and then filled. An abscessed tooth is an infection in the pulp which can happen either due to bacteria or trauma. Without root canal therapy the tooth will need to be extracted.

Oral Surgery
The extraction of a tooth involves removal of the tooth from its socket in the bone. This happens when there has been too much damage done to the tooth that it can no longer be repaired with a filling. As well, a loose tooth due to periodontal or gum disease may require extraction.
Prosthetic Services
Dental crowns or “caps” are hollow custom fabricated artificial teeth that are cemented over a tooth that is heavily restored with a large filling due to decay or fracture.

Teeth whitening is a simple process achieved through the use of tooth bleaches such as hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. Teeth have a natural colour that varies from a shade of light grey or yellow. With age teeth naturally darken and exposure to tobacco products and certain foods and drinks can cause teeth to appear even darker. At Stewart Baybayan Family Dentistry we offer both In- Office Bleaching and Take-Home Bleaching.

Orthodontics can be used to realign teeth. At Stewart-Baybayan Family dentistry we are happy to offer Invisalign to those patients with mild dental crowding. In cases that are more complex we would be happy to refer you to an orthodontic specialist.
Dental veneers are wafer thin shells of tooth coloured material that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth. Veneers can be used to make slight alterations in position, tooth shape, size and colour. They can be custom fabricated shells of porcelain or resin composite material. Porcelain veneers can recreate the natural look of teeth by mimicking the light reflecting properties of natural teeth.
Sedation
Nitrous oxide or “laughing gas” can be used to help make your dental visit more comfortable. It is a safe and effective means of sedation.
