Plaque and tartar build up can lead to gum disease and tooth decay, even if you brush and floss regularly. Our professional scaling treatment removes these harmful deposits, preventing dental issues before they arise. Regular cleanings are key to maintaining oral health and a bright smile.
There’s no special prep needed before a scaling appointment, but brushing and flossing before you come in is always a good idea!
You might feel some sensitivity after the cleaning—this is totally normal! Avoid super-hot or cold foods for the first day or two, and don’t worry if your gums feel a bit tender. Just keep brushing gently, and you’ll be back to normal in no time.
We recommend every 6 months, but if you have gum issues, it might be more frequent.
It’s not painful, but you might feel a little discomfort during the procedure. Our team will make sure you’re comfortable throughout!
Cavities can happen to anyone, but they don’t have to affect your smile. Our dental fillings repair and restore decayed teeth, bringing back their strength and function. We use tooth-coloured materials that blend in with your natural teeth for a seamless finish
Just relax! No need for special prep. It’s a quick and easy procedure, and we’ll make sure you’re comfortable from start to finish.
After your filling, your mouth might feel numb for a few hours. Be careful when eating to avoid biting your cheek or tongue. It’s a good idea to stick to softer foods for the first day, and avoid really hot or cold drinks.
Not at all! We use tooth-colored materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
With good care, your filling can last 10-15 years. Regular brushing, flossing, and check-ups will keep it in great shape.

Sometimes a tooth needs to be removed to protect your overall dental health. Whether it’s due to decay, damage, or overcrowding, our team ensures that your tooth extraction is as smooth and comfortable as possible. We take every step to minimize discomfort and speed up healing
For the first 24 hours, avoid smoking, drinking through a straw, or eating hard foods. Stick to soft, cool foods like yogurt or soup. Be gentle when brushing near the extraction site and use an antiseptic mouthwash if prescribed. Some swelling is normal, but if you experience excessive pain, contact us right away!
Most people feel better in just a few days, but full healing can take up to two weeks.
If the extracted tooth affects your chewing or smile, we can discuss options like bridges or implants.
Wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, or crowding as they emerge. If they’re impacted, removal may be necessary. Our surgical extraction service is designed to remove problematic wisdom teeth with minimal discomfort and a smooth recovery process.
It’s a good idea to stock up on soft foods like smoothies, mashed potatoes, and soups for after the surgery. Also, make sure you have someone to drive you home after the procedure.
For the first 24-48 hours, use an ice pack to reduce swelling and stick to soft, cool foods. Avoid vigorous rinsing, smoking, and straws to prevent dry socket. Keeping your head elevated and following your dentist’s instructions will help ensure a smooth recovery.
Most people take a day or two off to rest, but if your job requires a lot of physical activity, you might want a little more time.
Swelling usually peaks around day 2-3 and starts to go down after that. By the end of the week, you’ll likely feel much better.”

Missing teeth can affect your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Our custom-made removable partial dentures (RPD) provide a comfortable, affordable solution. Crafted to fit seamlessly with your remaining teeth, they restore both function and aesthetics.
No special prep needed! Our team will take precise measurements to make sure your dentures fit perfectly.
Clean your dentures daily with a soft brush and mild soap (no toothpaste!), and soak them overnight in a denture cleaner. Be sure to rinse them before putting them back in your mouth. If they feel loose or cause discomfort, come in for an adjustment.
It might take a little time to adjust, but you’ll soon be eating and speaking as normal. Practice reading aloud or eating soft foods to get used to your new dentures.
With good care, removable dentures can last 5-8 years. Regular check-ups will ensure they continue to fit properly.
Crowns are a great way to restore damaged or weakened teeth. Whether you choose a porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crown for durability or a zirconia crown for its natural look, both options provide long-lasting protection and a flawless appearance.
You don’t need to do much before getting a crown, but feel free to ask us any questions you have before the procedure!
Once your crown is placed, avoid sticky or hard foods for the first few days to allow it to settle in. Continue brushing and flossing around the crown as you would with natural teeth, and let us know if you notice any discomfort or issues.
With good care, crowns can last 10-15 years or longer! Proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups are key.
Absolutely! Both PFM and zirconia crowns are custom-made to blend in with your natural teeth for a seamless, natural appearance.
A straight, aligned smile is not just about aesthetics—it’s about improving your oral health too. At Pristine Medical Center, we offer a range of braces tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re an adult looking for a more discreet option or a parent seeking effective treatment for your child, we have a solution that works. Our orthodontic treatments not only enhance your smile but also correct bite issues, improving your overall dental health.
Metal braces are the tried-and-true option for correcting dental misalignments. Made from high-grade stainless steel, these braces are highly effective in treating even the most complex orthodontic cases. While they’re visible, modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever before. They’re often the go-to choice for children and teenagers, as they are durable and efficient.
A step up in durability and design, stainless steel braces offer a sleek, modern appearance while still providing the same reliable results as traditional braces. They are an excellent option for patients who want the strength of metal braces but with a slightly more polished look. Known for their resilience, these braces are built to last throughout your treatment journey.
For those who want a more discreet look during their orthodontic treatment, ceramic braces are a fantastic alternative. These braces use clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them less noticeable. Popular among adults and older teenagers, ceramic braces offer the same level of effectiveness as metal braces while being much less conspicuous.
Damon braces are an advanced, self-ligating system that uses a slide mechanism instead of elastic ties. This allows the wire to move freely, resulting in faster treatment times and greater comfort. Damon braces apply less pressure on the teeth, meaning fewer adjustments and potentially shorter overall treatment time. They come in both metal and clear options, making them a versatile choice for patients looking for both efficiency and aesthetics.
Once your braces are on, it’s important to brush and floss carefully around them to prevent plaque buildup. Avoid hard, sticky foods (like popcorn, gum, and candy), and attend your regular adjustment appointments for the best results.
Most patients wear braces for 1-2 years, depending on the complexity of the case. Your orthodontist will give you a personalized estimate during your consultation.
It’s normal to feel some discomfort after adjustments, but it usually goes away within a few days. If needed, over-the-counter pain relief can help.
We have carefully curated a team of top-tier medical professionals and support staff who share our dedication to outstanding care and service.
