Composite/White Fillings At Your Ironwood Dental Clinic
Used to repair teeth that have had decay removed.
One of the most common dental procedures is the standard filling. When a tooth begins to decay, a cavity forms. Our dentists will remove the damaged part of the tooth, cleaning and filling the resulting hole with composite (plastic) resin. You may also choose a porcelain or gold inlay. The exact material used varies based on the size of the filling, your budget and other factors such as allergies. For more information, visit our dental fillings and routine check-ups page.
Getting your teeth cleaned at least every 6 months, brushing and flossing regularly and avoiding too much sugar will help keep your smile cavity-free. But also remember that over time, your fillings might wear down and need to be replaced.

Root Canal Therapy
Dental procedures that repair badly decayed teeth involving infected roots and often requiring the use of dental crowns to restore the strength of the tooth while protecting it from damage
A root canal is typically required when a tooth is cracked or damaged by physical force, or in the case of a deep cavity. Your dentist here at your Ironwood dental clinic, carefully removes the thread-like tooth pulp; tissue that is found in the centre of the damaged tooth. Once the pulp is removed, we clean and fill the tooth.
In the past, infected or diseased pulp would require the removal of a damaged tooth. But these days, we can repair and restore damaged teeth more easily than ever. A root canal treatment often results from an untreated cavity and is more complicated than a standard filling. If left untreated, infected tooth pulp can lead to abscess teeth and damage the surrounding bone.
Don’t leave your cavities untreated of you could end up needing this procedure. For more information visit our root canal treatment page

Laser Gum Sterilization
Your hygienists here at Coppersmith dental have extra training to help you rid your mouth of the dangerous bacteria that causes gum disease and eventual tooth loss. After the tartar is removed from the teeth, this painless procedure involves gently inserting a small laser tip into the affected gum pocket around the tooth, where the energy from the laser kills any harmful bacteria.
This procedure can improve the health of the gum by decreasing inflammation, bleeding, swelling, and can aid in reducing the depth of the pocket which helps in keeping the pocket clean. Ask your hygienist if you could benefit from this latest technique!
