There is a strong connection between the two and we know dental phobia can prevent patients from getting the care that they need. Whether it's a check up exam, cleaning or more, sedation dentistry in addition to our patient and understanding team can help with your anxiety and fear.
Dental fillings use restorative materials to repair teeth which have been compromised due to cavities or trauma.
Dental sealants, usually applied to the chewing surface of teeth, block decay(cavity)-causing bacteria from entering the grooves of your teeth. Most often, the sealants are applied to the back teeth.
Removal of plaque and calculus (tartar) from the teeth above and sometimes below the gum line is critical in preventing Periodontal or gum disease (an infection that affects the gums and eventually jaw bone, which can lead to a loss of gum and teeth). There are two major stages — gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is the milder and reversible form; periodontal disease is often more severe. In some cases, gum surgery will be required to reverse the effect of the disease.
Implants are complete replacement of missing teeth. A titanium screw is placed in the bone and after proper healing a crown is placed on top of the implant to provide a new tooth.
If your tooth is damaged but not lost, a crown can be used to restore its shape, appearance and function. You may need a crown if you have a root canal, a large filling in a tooth or a broken tooth.
A crown, also called a cap, is a hollow, artificial tooth used to cover a damaged or decayed tooth. The crown restores the tooth and protects it from further damage. Crowns can also be used to cover a discoloured or misshapen tooth. A tooth that has been fixed with a crown looks and works very much like a natural tooth. Crowns are also placed on top of dental implants.
A bridge is a dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It extends across an area that has no teeth and is typically made up of an artificial tooth fused between 2 crowns. (A crown is a hollow, artificial tooth that fits over a natural tooth or a dental implant). The bridge is held firmly in place by your own teeth on each side of the missing one(s) or by dental implants. A bridge is permanent and cannot be removed.
Root canals treat diseases or abscessed teeth. Once a tooth is injured, cracked or decayed, it is necessary to open the tooth and clean out the infected tissue in the centre. This space is then filled and the opening sealed.
A severely damaged tooth may need to be removed. Healthy permanent teeth may also need to be taken out for orthodontic treatment.
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices replacing lost teeth. There are two types of dentures – partial and full. Full dentures are often referred to as“false teeth”.
Oral cancer starts in the cells of the mouth, tongue or throat. In this exam, your dentist and hygienist will feel for lumps or irregular tissue changes in your neck, head, face, and inside your mouth. Your dentist and hygienist will also look for sores or discolored tissue in your mouth.
Veneers are strong, yet thin pieces of ceramic (porcelain) or resin (white filling) material that are bonded to the teeth. Veneers are used to repair chipped, decayed or stained teeth and may help in closing gaps between teeth.
Teeth naturally darken with age, however staining may be caused by various foods and beverages such as coffee, tea and berries, some drugs such as tetracycline, smoking, or a trauma to a tooth. There are various teeth whitening options available, including in-office and at-home bleaching.
Porcelain, zirconia, lithium disilicate, and composite resin are tooth coloured materials that are all metal free and they look and feel completely natural. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing they are also very durable.
A method of conscious sedation where you will feel relaxed and sleepy throughout the appointment and often have little recollection of it afterwards.
A method of conscious sedation where you will remain awake throughout your procedure but will be in a deep state of relaxation while at the dentist office. With nitrous oxide sedation adults are even able to drive home after 100% oxygen is administered to wear off the sedative effects.
Sedation dentistry may also be appropriate for people who:

Combining some of the latest technology and services to offer you a great experience with every visit.
In addition to our comprehensive head and neck exam, at Henley Dental we have VELscope® Vx technology to assist in discovering oral disease as early as possible. This may help lead to less invasive, more effective treatment, and improved outcomes. In some cases, it may even save a life.
Read moreSometimes it is difficult for patients to fully understand the condition of their teeth in the same way that our team does – MouthWatch intraoral camera is a state of the art dental technical device that really helps you see for yourself exactly what is happening in your mouth.
Read moreWe believe it is important that children have a good experience at the dentist from a young age. Our fun-loving team is known for being excellent with children.
Many of our patients love our new Text Message & Email Reminders service to efficiently confirm your appointments and remind you of your next visit at the dentist. It's quick, easy to use and more efficient for both you and our busy team. If you prefer not to use this, that's no problem at all! We will continue to make reminder calls for patients who are a little less tech savy.
The VELscope® Vx is a non invasive handheld device that emits a bright blue light which is used to inspect the mouth and tongue by identifying fluorescent patterns: oral cancer cells have different patterns then healthy tissue cells. During the procedure we ensure that your eyes are protected from this light.
