Services
Amalgam-Free Dentistry
Terry Fox Dental Centre provides mercury-free alternatives for dental restorations using biocompatible materials. This service addresses patient preferences for safer options while maintaining durability in fillings and crowns. The practice offers customized treatment plans for patients seeking to replace existing amalgam fillings or receive new restorations without metal components.
Root Canal Therapy
Specialized treatment for infected or damaged dental pulp preserves natural teeth through precise removal of affected tissue. Our dentists use advanced techniques to alleviate pain and restore tooth functionality while maintaining structural integrity. This procedure prevents tooth loss and eliminates infection risks through thorough cleaning and sealing.
Dental Crowns
Custom-fabricated crowns restore damaged or discolored teeth with durable materials that mimic natural appearance. This service strengthens compromised teeth while improving aesthetics through color-matched restorations. The process includes comprehensive consultation to determine optimal material selection and treatment approach.
Full Mouth Restoration
Integrated treatment plans address multiple dental issues including missing, worn, or damaged teeth. Combining restorative and cosmetic procedures, this service rebuilds oral health and function through coordinated therapies like implants, bridges, and veneers. Treatment considers both aesthetic goals and long-term dental stability.
Dental Checkups
Regular examinations and professional cleanings maintain optimal oral health through early detection of potential issues. This service includes fluoride treatments, gum disease prevention, and personalized hygiene guidance. The practice emphasizes patient education to complement at-home care routines with professional expertise.
