If you suffer from dental anxiety, having to undergo extensive dental treatment can be very difficult for you. Sedation dentistry can be a good option for patients suffering from generalized anxiety, fear of the dentist, trauma owing to bad experiences in the past or fear of needles and other sharp instruments. It helps avoid trauma as the patient will not have any memory of the dental visit. It also allows the dentist to complete complex treatments in a short period of time.  If you are looking for sedation dentistry in Calgary, Bite Dental Works can help. Our dentist will ensure that you are relaxed throughout your dental treatment. Visit us for a regular dental checkup. We also offer dental crowns and porcelain veneers.

Your dentist may suggest getting a crown if you have a broken tooth or a cavity.  A crown is a cap which protects your teeth. With major advances in modern technology, you can get dental crowns known as CEREC crowns. CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics which uses CAD/CAM to create a crown that fits your damaged tooth perfectly. The CEREC crowns are shaded to match your natural tooth colour and are bonded in place. All this is done in a single dentist appointment.

On December 11, 1844, American dentist Horace Wells pioneered the use of nitrous oxide as an anesthetic in dental extractions. Since then, the colourless and non-flammable gas has been commonly used for local anesthesia in various medical procedures. Every province in Canada has specific guidelines regarding the use of anesthesia that dental professionals must comply with. At Bite Dentalworks, we practise sedation dentistry in Calgary to help our patients overcome their anxieties and fears before each procedure. A good dentist will always discuss anesthetic management before a procedure and review it thoroughly.

Dental crowns are one of the most common restorative dental devices we use in our Calgary dental clinic. These prosthetic restorations, also known as a caps, can transform a damaged or broken tooth to its original size and shape. They look great and allow you to eat and talk comfortably.

Not to burst your bubble, but in short: no, they can’t. For those of you would-be teeth whitening patients, dental crowns are highly resistant to stains caused by coffee, wine and even cigarettes. Unfortunately, this means that they’re also highly resistant to all teeth whitening treatments.

At Bite Dental Works, we take pride in the care and service we provide for our patients. Let our experts show you why you can’t simply whiten your dental crowns.
