General Dentistry

Investing In Good Dental Health

We provide general and preventative dentistry services in the Essex community. Fillings, crowns, bridges and implants are common restorative options to replace missing or damaged teeth. Our dental team emphasizes the importance of ongoing hygiene procedures and daily practices to prevent tooth decay and infection.

Dental Cleaning & Examination

We believe that preventative care is essential for staying in good oral health. Our goal is to keep our patients as healthy as possible. The best way to do so is through ongoing dental care and teaching our patients how to practice good oral hygiene at home.

Composite Fillings

Our team has extensive experience with fillings and will ensure that you are comfortable throughout the procedure. This is one of our most frequently used procedures since a filling is typically placed after removing tooth decay (common cavities).

Extractions

The team at Essex Family Dental is able to perform most dental extractions with a focus on care and comfort. If you feel that you are in need of a dental extraction, call us today to schedule your consultation!

Root Canal

A root canal works by carefully making a tiny hole in the surface of the tooth to access the inner nerve within the tooth. Specialized instruments are then used to remove any infectious material or bacteria-filled debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a dental cleaning worth it?

Yes. Dental cleaning is 100% worth it. Unlike the body, which can be seen if dirty, this isn’t the case with your dental health. Dental cleaning requires an experienced dentist who is well aware of future problems depending on your lifestyle. A dental cleaning is carried out by learning more about your lifestyle during consultation. Dental cleaning saves you money because our experienced dentist can detect and fix a significant dental problem before it’s too late.

What is a general dental examination?

A general dental examination is a series of procedures where an experienced dentist checks your teeth for problems and reports depending on how severe the pain is.

Toothaches are unbearable, and it is a good idea to get your teeth checked periodically through a dentist to avoid severe problems like tooth decay, infection, or the need for a root canal. A lot of trouble can be avoided by performing regular dental examinations.

Are dental extractions painful?

No, dental extractions are not painful. The dentist will provide local anesthesia, if needed, during the procedure to eliminate the pain.

How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?

It takes around two weeks to completely recover from a tooth extraction. It is also advisable to take any prescription drugs prescribed by the dentist to avoid the chances of infection, as open wounds can cause illness due to food intake and other factors.

Is a root canal painful?

A root canal procedure might sound painful, but root canal procedures are more sophisticated due to today’s advanced techniques and instruments. The dentist may use local anesthesia to ease the pain. Root canal procedures can be carried out without any pain.

How long does a root canal last?

A root canal lasts a lifetime. The root canal treatments are very successful and offer benefits like pleasing aesthetics, restoring the strength and bite power of the teeth, and decreasing the chances of tooth decay or other problems that might need more time, attention, and money.
