Services at Aurora Family Dentistry
Gum Disease Treatment
Periodontitis is a painful and serious conditions that can lead to other systemic infections if not diagnosed in time or treated well. At Aurora Family Dentistry, you can be assured of getting a timely and correct diagnosis, if you have been showing the signs of gum disease.
We provide Gum disease treatment solutions with a full range of periodontal therapies.
These gum disease solutions include deep cleaning, scaling, and root planing. Additionally, we offer gum surgery options that include gum pocket reduction, grafting, and regenerative procedures to assist with periodontal disease as well as for Dental Implants.
Veneers
Veneers are an essential aspect of Cosmetic Dentistry in terms of how they can impact the brightness of your smile.
Veneers are thin, custom porcelain laminates that are bonded directly to the teeth. They are an excellent option to improve the shape of teeth or to close gaps between teeth.
Most often, veneers are useful on teeth that are difficult to whiten. Your dentist can have the porcelain laminates custom created to match your teeth size and shape and align it with your gum contour and smile line.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are perhaps the nearest option to tooth replacement. With suitable implant placement, patients in some cases can’t tell the difference between their original teeth and their new dental implants that have replaced the lost teeth.
The dental Implant placement process involves the surgical placement of a titanium post directly into the jawbone.
A crown is placed on the abutment of the implant to complete the replacement of the missing tooth. This tooth is visually indistinguishable from other teeth in your mouth.

White Fillings
Dental filling materials are principally used to fill cavities in a tooth. These materials are also used to repair damage to teeth that have been caused by bruxism or teeth grinding and can also be used to replace a part of a broken tooth.
There are broadly three types of dental fillings materials. These are Silver, Amalgam (Silver & Mercury), and Composite.
Composite fillings are also called White fillings. These are durable. These fillings can match the colour of your tooth and aesthetically blend into the surface of the tooth.
Historically gold has been used as a dental filling material, although this is not generally a common material of choice these days.
Children’s Dentistry
To make sure that your children grow up with excellent oral health, you have to make sure that they grow up with exceptional dental and oral care habits.
These habits have to inculcated when the children are young. At Aurora Family Dentistry, we can help your Children with their very first visit to the dentist.
We can then help prepare the children with excellent oral health routines that, with your supervision, can become valuable lifelong habits.
At our offices, we have games for children to play and an aquarium with colourful fish that can be a fascinating and friendly distraction for children.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy is a treatment that is done to repair and even save a tooth that is either decayed or has become infected.
A root canal procedure involves the removal of the nerve and pulp from inside of the tooth. Once cleaned of the pulp and nerve, the tooth is cleaned and sealed.
For an infected tooth, if the root canal treatment is not performed, then the area around the tooth could potentially get infected, an abscess could form, and there can be a real possibility of losing the tooth.
Do you have an abscess or a tooth infection that needs to be looked at by a dentist? Call us today to set up an appointment.
Crowns & Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges are both fixed prosthetic devices. These are custom restorations whose job is to increase oral function.
Crowns are used to cover or cap a damaged tooth entirely, or to restore a chipped or broken tooth.
While placing a crown, your dentist has the opportunity to use the crown to change the appearance of the tooth cosmetically.
A dental bridge, on the other hand, is a series of connected crowns used to fill a gap between teeth. This gap between teeth could be the result of a lost tooth.

Dentures & Partials
We help patients who have recently lost some of their teeth, or who have been wearing dental prostheses for years. Our dentures are all custom created. They are well-fitting, and they look natural.
We focus on the long term comfort of our patients and take great care in making sure that each denture has a properly aligned bite. And more so that you are satisfied with how the dentures look in your mouth.
We offer full dentures, partial dentures, flexible partials, and implant-supported dentures.
If you are looking to get dentures to replace teeth or if you would like to replace an old set of dentures that you are unhappy with for any reason, come right in for a consultation.
Our Dentists will conduct an exam, take panoramic x-rays if needed, and then discuss treatment options with you.
Invisalign
If you are looking to straighten your teeth and you do not wish to choose the option of metal braces, then your choice should be Invisalign.
Invisalign treatment involves the use of virtually invisible and removable aligners made of a flexible and comfortable polymer.
Each aligner is designed to be worn for about two weeks. As aligners are changed, the teeth begin to move slowly into their desired positions.
A vital advantage of the aligners is that you can eat and drink during treatment with comfort. You can also brush and floss as you would normally do, and ensure that you don’t have any dental hygiene concerns.
The Invisalign system shows you how your smile will look at the end of the treatment, right at the time that you start the procedure.
Teeth Whitening
If you live in the Aurora, Newmarket area, you can benefit from a teeth whitening procedure at the Aurora Family Dentistry. We offer a multitude of teeth whitening options; these include a teeth bleaching process. This treatment is generally scheduled right after your dental hygiene and cleaning appointment.
The next option is whitening trays. The in-office whitening trays are custom made for your teeth.
We also offer Philips Zoom teeth whitening treatment in our office. Zoom teeth whitening is a safe and effective method that can brighten teeth by a factor of 8 shades in an hour of application.
If your goal is teeth whitening, speak with our dentists about the treatment option that they would recommend for you. Don’t be surprised by how young you end up looking after the procedure!
Tooth Extraction
Teeth that have been damaged or decayed beyond repair, or those teeth that have no room available in the mouth to grow, like wisdom teeth, may need to removed by a Dentist. This procedure is called Tooth Extraction. The goal of a tooth extraction, in most cases, is to prepare your mouth for restorative therapies.
At Aurora Family Dentistry, our dentists perform tooth extractions that are close to painless. Recovery after a tooth extraction is generally quick.
We offer Nitrous oxide sedation for those patients who need to calm their nerves.
If you need a tooth extraction, call our office for a consultation. Our dentists will advise you on your options, as well as on aftercare after the tooth or teeth removal.
