Treatments for tooth pain at Burnaby Dental Centre
Dental fillings
Eliminate tooth pain with dental fillings! Decay-induced cavities often result in painful tooth sensitivity. At our clinic, we'll clean out the cavity and use fillings to revive the affected area and fortify your teeth to prevent future discomfort.
Root canal treatment
Say goodbye to tooth decay with a root canal treatment at Burnaby Dental Centre! Our team will remove the infected tissue, prevent further spread, and in most cases, preserve your natural tooth. Let us work with you to determine if a root canal is the best solution for your specific situation.
Wisdom teeth removal
Uncover a pain-free future with wisdom teeth removal at Burnaby Dental Centre! While wisdom teeth, the molars located in the back of your mouth, are common, not everyone needs them. This can result in bite problems, oral discomfort, or difficulty maintaining proper hygiene. Let us help your other teeth thrive and prevent future dental issues.
Dental bridges
If you’ve lost a tooth, or if your tooth has become damaged beyond repair, a restorative treatment option like a dental bridge may be a great solution. We’ll work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your smile based on your unique dental issues and needs.
The appropriate treatment will depend on the specific cause of your tooth pain and the severity of the problem. It’s important to see a dentist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
What to expect at your tooth pain appointment
- You’ll speak with our staff about what you are experiencing, as well as your past oral health history.
