Botox
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD) occurs when the temporomandibular joints become inflamed or painful. The TMJs connect the lower jawbone to the skull. They allow us to open our mouths wide enough to eat, speak, yawn, and swallow.
Botox injections are used to treat TMJ. They relax the muscles around the jaw joints and reduce inflammation. Injections are usually done every 6 months.

Fillings
Dental fillings are a fundamental aspect of restorative dentistry, which is crucial in repairing cavities and restoring the structural integrity of damaged teeth. Primarily used to repair cavities caused by tooth decay, fillings restore the affected tooth’s integrity, function, and aesthetics. The process involves removing the decayed tooth material, cleaning the affected area, and then filling it with a material such as amalgam, composite, or porcelain. This restores the tooth’s shape and prevents further decay by sealing off any cracks or spaces where bacteria might enter. With advancements in dental technology, today’s fillings are functional and can also be closely matched to the natural colour of your teeth, offering a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.
Crowns
A full coverage crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that fits entirely over your existing tooth. It protects the remaining tooth structure, restores the tooth's ability to function normally, and improves its appearance. Often, the materials used mimic that of a natural tooth, allowing for it to fit in seamlessly with a patient’s smile.
Dental crowns are versatile solutions for several issues:
-
Large cavities: When a filling isn't enough to support the tooth, a crown may be the right option to restore strength.
-
Cracked or broken teeth: Crowns hold a damaged tooth together, preventing further breakage.
-
Root canals: Teeth that have had root canals often become brittle. A crown adds protection and lowers the risk of fracture or infection that could lead to extraction.
