Services offered at the clinic
Bruxism (occlusal splint)
Installing an occlusal splint can help persons with bruxism and solve certain problems with teeth grinding.
Cerec 3D
CEREC® 3D restoration: once your cavity or filling has been removed, the surface of your tooth is sprinkled with CEREC® powder. Using an intraoral laser camera, we obtain a digital image that we transfer to the computer. Using the CEREC® 3D computer program, the restoration of your tooth is planned using 3D drawings. The information is then relayed to a separate milling machine to create the restoration (it takes 8 to 18 minutes depending on its complexity). The restoration is tried in your mouth to ensure proper fit, bonded to your prepared tooth with a high-strength cement, and polished.
Crowns and bridges
Dental crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic devices that restore or replace one or several teeth that have been permanently damaged.
Endodontics (root canal treatment)
A root canal treatment, otherwise known as endodontics, can preserve a tooth that has been damaged or is dead. Keeping the natural tooth helps maintain the alignment of the teeth and avoid various other problems.
- Root canal treatment
- Root canal retreatment
- External and internal resorption
- Management of supra- and infra-bony perforations
- Removal of prefabricated posts
- Periapical surgery
- Apexogenesis
- Apexification
- Reimplantation

Esthetic treatments
Esthetic treatments encompasses all treatments aimed at improving the appearance of the smile while preserving oral health. Thanks to technological advances and modern techniques, it is now possible to achieve a harmonious, natural, and radiant smile.
Whether it’s correcting tooth color, shape, alignment, or closing gaps, several solutions are available, such as teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, and aesthetic orthodontic treatments.
Implant prostheses
Implant prostheses is a procedure aimed at replacing one or several teeth completely by inserting implants to replace the root of the tooth and affixing prostheses to these implants. The resulting teeth are stable, comfortable, and esthetic.
Laser gum treatments
Laser gum treatments solve frequent gum problems and can improve the aesthetics of the teeth and smile. The laser reduced the amount of gum by eliminating the inflamed portion.
Oral surgery (extraction of wisdom teeth)
Oral surgery services are offered in our clinic. The extraction of wisdom teeth is a procedure that is necessary in many cases to preserve oral health.
Removable protheses
Removable prostheses are appliances that replace natural teeth. Designed for the upper or lower jaw, these appliances are easily removed from the mouth for daily cleaning.
Teeth whitening with custom-made trays
Teeth whitening: Get your bright smile back by simply using clear custom-made trays along with a professional bleaching product. Talk to your dentist about this convenient solution and enjoy the results!
Periodontics
Periodontitis
Periodontitis is an infection of the gums that results in the loss of bone and support around the teeth. Like gingivitis, periodontitis is caused by the accumulation of bacteria on the tooth, under the gum line. In addition to redness and bleeding, periodontitis is characterized by the formation of a space between the gum and the tooth called a periodontal pocket. The pocket is the result of bone loss around the tooth. These spaces are difficult to clean and, therefore, favour the progression of the disease. Without treatment, periodontitis can cause the loss of the affected tooth.
