A dental crown (also known as a tooth cap or tooth crown) is a fixed prosthetic device, which simply means it’s a tooth restoration that you don’t remove – it stays permanently in your mouth to support, strengthen, or conceal a tooth. It also refines its shape, alignment, color, and function. In days past, most crowns were made of gold, but now, because of their beauty, strength, and natural look, most crowns are made of porcelain. They’re so life-like, only you and your dentist in Etobicoke – us! – know that you’re sporting one.

The most common uses for crowns include:
• Preventing a weak tooth from breaking
• Restoring a broken tooth
• Preserving & supporting a tooth that has had root canal treatment
• Supporting tooth structure when a significant portion of the tooth has been filled
• Covering severely discolored or poorly shaped teeth
• In combination with a false tooth to create a dental bridge.

Dental crowns are extremely durable, function the way your own teeth do, and with proper care, can last for 10 years or more. Let us help you love your functional and beautiful smile. Contact us today for your no-obligation consultation!

Dental implants are a revolutionary way to replace missing teeth, regain form and function, and avoid the bone loss and facial changes that come when teeth are lost. When you have more than one missing tooth, bone loss can give you a prematurely aged look, your ability to enjoy the foods you love can be diminished (as chewing may become compromised), and your nutrition may also suffer. Dental implants can intercept these risks.

A dental implant is a biocompatible post that is inserted into your jawbone and continually stimulates the bone to prevent further bone loss. A crown is placed on this replacement tooth root to replace your lost tooth and let you chew the foods you love. They are self-supporting (they don’t need crowns on neighbouring teeth for support as you’d need with a dental bridge) and are beautifully crafted to look like a natural tooth.

If you’re looking for dental implants from a dentist in Etobicoke, we can help! As with all of our services, we offer a variety of solutions to meet your needs. Whether you want to replace a single missing tooth with one implant, or all your teeth with All-On-4 implant-supported dentures, this procedure could be the solution you’re looking for. Call today for a no-obligation consultation to see if this fantastic tooth-replacement option is for you!

JM dental provides a 24-hour dental emergency hotline! Call Dr. John right away and we’ll help you through. Dental emergencies can be stressful – partly because of not knowing what to do. Here’s a quick cheat sheet to help until you can get in to see us for an emergency dentistry appointment.

Knocked-Out Tooth – Adults: Carefully handle the tooth by the crown (white enamel top) – never the root – and, if possible, gently rinse the root it under clean water – never scrub it. Try to put it back in its place and call us right away. If you can’t place it back in the socket, either put it next to your cheek or in a container of cold milk. Call us right away and bring the tooth to your appointment.

Knocked-Out Tooth – Children: If the socket is bleeding, have your child bite on a clean piece of gauze, fabric, or paper towel. Put the tooth in a container of milk and call us right away.

Toothache: Most toothaches are cause by decay or infection, so it’s important to come see us right away. If you have pain that comes and goes, know that it will never stay away … and it will quite possibly get worse. Call us, and first, we’ll get you out of pain. Then we’ll diagnose and treat the issue.

Chipped or Broken Tooth: In many cases we can save a broken tooth, so give us a call and we’ll get you back to smiling as quickly as possible. If you can find the piece that broke off, bring it to us when you come.

Family dentistry refers to a wide range of dentistry services provided for your family members of all ages, in a family friendly environment. Family dentists are general dentists who understand that children’s smiles aren’t the same as adults’ – and that older adults need a different kind of care than younger ones. And they take the time to listen to your needs, concerns, and wishes. They’ll be upfront – at all times – about your oral health and work closely with you to achieve an optimal smile and help you keep it that way for life.

We are a child-friendly practice eager to accommodate little ones with a lot of love and attention. Contact us today to be welcomed into our dental family!

If you’re like most people, you’ll have some or all four of your third molars (wisdom teeth) removed at some point in your life. Perhaps you’ve already had this done and now your son or daughter needs assessment. Are they experiencing discomfort or pain at the back of their mouth or in their jaws? Do they have swelling around the jaw? Is the pain affecting their sleep? Are they having trouble opening their mouth or eating? Do they have chronic bad breath or an unpleasant taste in their mouth? They could have impacted wisdom teeth – and they’ll need to see a dentist in Etobicoke for help. For complicated extractions, our on-site oral surgeon is here to help you get the care you need, from the same familiar office you have come to trust.

Wisdom teeth extraction isn’t always the answer. In some cases, close monitoring and special cleaning techniques are enough to keep wisdom teeth in check… But the only way of knowing what action should be taken is by calling JM Dental for a thorough examination. We’ll help determine the best course of treatment, and no matter the best option, we can help! Call today!
