Explore the common dental hurdles we help our patients overcome every day

Dental Problems

Broken or Chipped Teeth

A fracture in your tooth can compromise the tooth’s internal structure. We use advanced restorative techniques, including one-day dental crowns and composite bonding, to reinforce the enamel and prevent further cracking. By restoring the tooth’s natural shape, we maintain your bite and dental balance.

Managing Dental Anxiety

Dental care is a stressful and intimidating experience for many, but we do everything we can to change the stigma. At Alba Dental, we’ve reimagined the patient experience with a relaxing and supportive environment. For those with severe phobia or more complicated procedures, we discuss sedation dentistry options.

Tooth Pain

Pain of any kind is a signal that something is off, and the same is true for tooth pain. You may experience a dull, constant ache, sharp pain, or unpredictable discomfort. No matter what type of pain, addressing it as soon as possible is ideal.  Our diagnostic process uses 3D imaging to pinpoint the exact source of discomfort, allowing us to provide targeted relief and preserve your natural tooth structure.

Discoloured Teeth

Daily habits like coffee or tea can leave their mark, but some discoloration happens deep within the tooth. We offer professional teeth whitening systems that penetrate the micro-pores of your enamel to lift stubborn pigments. For internal staining that doesn’t respond to whitening, our custom-crafted veneers provide a permanent, radiant transformation.

Missing Teeth

Even a single missing tooth can have a profound impact on your smile. Nearby teeth can shift into the gap, disrupting alignment and oral health. We offer dental implants and bridges as permanent replacements for missing teeth. By replacing the root and the crown, we restore the full function of your jaw and the natural contour of your face.

Infection or Abscessed Teeth

A dental abscess is an infection that has reached the root or the space between the gum and the tooth. We treat infection right away to prevent it from spreading and causing more damage. Through precise root canal therapy or surgical drainage, we work quickly to eliminate the bacteria and save the affected tooth.

Uneven Bite (Malocclusion)

An uneven bite accelerates tooth wear, and is the primary cause of chronic headaches and TMJ disorders. By evaluating how your upper and lower teeth fit together, we can use minor adjustments or restorative treatments to redistribute pressure. Resolving an uneven bite protects your jaw joints and prevents premature tooth loss.

Crooked Teeth

Misaligned teeth can be difficult to clean, often leading to hidden decay between crowded areas. A straighter smile is also on the top of most people’s cosmetic dental wishlists. We offer discreet solutions like Invisalign® and Fastbraces® to guide your teeth into their ideal positions and create an environment where your gums and teeth can thrive.

Decay, Cavities, and Caries

Tooth decay is a progressive process where oral acids demineralize your enamel. Using high-definition intraoral cameras, we catch warning spots in their earliest stages so we can treat them right away.Our tooth-colored fillings bond directly to your natural tooth, creating a seamless seal that stops decay and renews your tooth. 

Sensitive Teeth

If cold air or hot drinks cause a sudden flash of pain, your dentin (the layer beneath the enamel) may be exposed. Gum or enamel erosion are the most common reasons for sensitivity. We provide specialized desensitizing treatments and protective coatings that seal the tooth nerves to prevent pain.
