About Us

Family Dentistry

Family dentists are primary care dental providers who offer a wide range of dental services to meet the oral health needs of individuals and families.

Key aspects of family dentistry:

Preventive Care: Family dentists emphasize preventive measures to maintain good oral health. This regular check-ups, cleanings, and oral hygiene education to prevent dental issues like cavities and gum disease.

Diagnosis and Treatment: Family dentists are trained to diagnose and treat a variety of dental conditions and diseases. They can address issues such as tooth decay, gum problems, and oral infections.

Convenience

A dental practice can provide greater convenience for patients by offering a range of services and amenities that prioritize comfort and accessibility. Here are some factors that contribute to making a dental practice more convenient:

Location: A convenient location, preferably close to where patients live or work, reduces travel time and makes it easier for patients to schedule appointments.

Extended Hours: Offering flexible appointment hours, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends, can accommodate patients with busy schedules.

Online Booking: An easy-to-use online booking system allows patients to schedule appointments at their convenience, without the need for phone calls.

Better Dental Experience

Better dental experiences can be achieved through a combination of factors that focus on patient comfort, effective communication, skilled dental care, and a positive atmosphere. Here are some key elements that contribute to better dental experiences:

Compassionate and Skilled Dental Professionals: Dentists and dental hygienists who are not only skilled but also empathetic can make a significant difference. They listen to patients' concerns and provide clear explanations of procedures and treatment options

Effective Communication: Good communication between the dental team and the patient is crucial. This includes explaining procedures, discussing treatment plans, and addressing any questions or concerns the patient may have.

Personal Dentistry

Taking care of your personal dental care is crucial for maintaining good oral health, and having a dental practice to support you is an integral part of that care. Here's why.

Regular Checkups: Dentists play a pivotal role in preventive care. Regular checkups allow them to detect and address issues early on, preventing more serious and costly problems down the line

Professional Cleanings: Dental hygienists can provide thorough cleanings that remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of gum disease and cavities.

Regular checkups and cleanings are vital to maintaining healthy gums and teeth – and for keeping up your overall health. DS Dental makes office visits simple. We offer flexible appointment times, a convenient location, and a friendly, experienced staff, so you’ll be in and out in no time.

Your wisdom teeth are the four molars that appear when you’re in your teens or early twenties. Unfortunately, many of us have jaws that are too small to comfortably accommodate them. When there isn’t enough room for the teeth to grow in properly, wisdom teeth can become impacted, which can be painful, and create problems that affect the rest of your mouth. We will do an exam and take a panoramic x-ray to see how your wisdom teeth are coming in, and determine if they are causing problems. We usually deal with wisdom teeth removal between the ages of 14 and 18, but it’s never too late to address them

If you have tender jaw muscles, a reduced ability to open or close your mouth, discomfort when you bite or chew, headaches, ear, neck, shoulder or facial pain, or joint clicking or popping, there’s a good chance you have temporomandibular joint disorder (or TMJ for short). But don’t worry, you’re not alone. A whopping 60 million North Americans suffer from TMJ issues.

Snoring occurs when the tongue falls back and blocks the airway, and the resulting sound is the struggle for breath through that blockage. It can wreak havoc on relationships by keeping partners from getting a good night’s sleep, but it can also be a sign of a more serious medical problem. Snoring is one of the indicators of sleep apnea, a disorder characterized by long pauses in breathing of up to several seconds at a time. Sleep apnea has been linked to stroke; while you’re struggling to breathe, your blood pressure goes up, and any blockages in your arteries can block blood flow to your brain.

Large cavities, infections or trauma can lead to a painful infection of the nerve, also known as an abscess. In a root canal, the infected nerve and bacteria which lies within the root of the tooth, is removed and replaced with a filling called gutta percha. A tiny hole is created to access and remove the infection. The hole created is then cleaned thoroughly and sealed upon completion. A dental crown is then placed over the tooth for protection and longevity. Most people are worried about root canal pain. At DS Dental, we know how to keep the patient feeling comfortable during the procedure. It’s a treatment that saves the tooth, which is ideal both in terms of function and cosmetics. Alternatively, the tooth would have to be removed, making root canals an excellent procedure to save and maintain your teeth.

If your gums aren’t healthy, your teeth won’t be either. Same goes for the rest of your body. So as part of your regular checkups, we always take a look at your gums. If we find evidence of periodontal disease, we will sit down with you to come up with a plan to get them back on the road to health. Options run from scaling and root planing to antibiotics to surgical options such as bone and gum grafts. All gum surgery is performed under local anaesthetic, unless you request another type of sedation.

Your bite (the way your teeth meet each other when your mouth is closed) affects your face, your jaw, your head, your neck – and your overall health. So if it isn’t properly aligned, you can end can up dealing with chronic pain. Patients with imperfect bites can suffer from headaches, migraines, neck pain, jaw pain, jaw clicking or popping, problems swallowing, snoring or sleep apnea, vertigo, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), sensitive teeth, and posture problems.

If the thought of being in the dentist chair fills you with anxiety, don’t worry. At DS Dental, we encounter a lot of people who are nervous about dentistry. Perhaps they’ve had a bad experience, or maybe a parent who passed along their own anxieties. Many have told us that their fears haven’t been taken seriously in the past.

Your smile is your calling card. It’s one of the first things people notice about you. If your teeth are crooked, yellowed, damaged or decayed, it can impact other people’s perception of you – and, more importantly, it can affect how you see yourself. You don’t have to live with a smile you don’t love. The team at DS Dental has a wide range of cosmetic services that can enhance the look of your teeth. From whitening to veneers to Invisalign®, we’ll take your smile from dull to dazzling. At DS Dental, we will make your smile what you want it to be – bright, younger looking and beautiful.

When it comes to replacing lost or failing teeth, you have a number of options, including bridgework and partial dentures. But if you’re a good candidate for dental implants, nothing provides the same level of permanence and stability. It’s the closest thing to having a real tooth, and it’s designed to last a lifetime. Implants are made of titanium, which works best with living bone and tissue and can be implanted without threat of infection. They are surgically placed into the jawbone below gum level, with the sturdy metal post acting as a replacement for the tooth’s root. Implants are good for replacing a single tooth, many teeth, or for providing support for dentures.

WTime can definitely take a toll on your teeth. Accidents, decay, lifestyle choices and hereditary factors can leave you with a smile that’s not as attractive as it could be. But thanks to all the modern materials and approaches we have at our disposal, you don’t have to live with that broken front tooth or missing molar. Offering reconstructive dentistry in Burlington, we’re here to help you achieve the smile you desire through our various reconstructive dentistry services.
