Dental implants are a permanent, natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. Whether it’s for a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, or securing a denture, we have the solution. Call us today to learn more!

You may be surprised to learn that fillings don’t last forever. Depending on the type of materials used, fillings can last from 5 to 15 years. During a dental exam, we examine fillings and may take X-rays to help determine when a filling needs to be replaced.

Dental implants allow you to eat comfortably, just like you had a full set of natural teeth. No more worrying about a slipping denture when you bite, or only being able to chew foods if they’re cut into tiny bites. Enjoy meals with your loved ones again.

Regular hygiene appointments are essential to your child’s oral health. We start by reviewing your child’s medical history and asking about any changes in their health. Then we dive into the exam, where we check the condition and development of their teeth, gums and jaw. We will take X-rays as needed. Then we clean the teeth, removing tartar build-up, polishing and offering fluoride. Sometimes we’ll apply a sealant which is a thin coating that is placed on the teeth to protec...t them from cavities. We’ll explain every step of the appointment to your child and how it relates to their dental health. We’ll educate them on proper brushing and flossing techniques, as well as how to choose tooth-friendly snacks. We’ll finish up by discussing your child’s treatment plan and answering any questions. We do this in a calm and peaceful environment to benefit you and your child. We look forward to seeing you both at your child’s next hygiene appointment!

Happy 2021! We look forward to helping you achieve your oral health goals this year and every year!

Happy New Year! If you make one new year's resolution this year, may we suggest that you floss every day? Your teeth and your overall health will thank you!

Dental checkups are an essential part of maintaining good oral health. First, we remove stains and build-up on teeth above and below the gumline. Then we look for signs of tooth decay and gum disease, check the bite and jaw for problems, evaluate any new risk factors such as a change in medication, conduct an oral cancer screening, assess problem areas, and make recommendations for further treatment. Sometimes this involves taking a closer look with a dental X-ray. We also demonstrate proper cleaning techniques or provide tips to help patients reach any problem areas when brushing and flossing at home. Call us today to book a dental checkup (519) 672-0733!

We love treating kids at Cherryhill Family Dentistry! We try to make every visit as positive as possible and involve children and parents in their oral health. That includes demonstrating proper brushing and flossing techniques and evaluating and discussing risk factors for tooth decay or other oral health issues. In addition to educating patients and removing stains and plaque from the teeth, a children's dental exam may involve X-rays, sealants, fluoride treatment, pre-orthodontic evaluations, or restorations.

When you brush your teeth, are you also brushing your tongue? It’s a prime spot for bacteria to build up. Bacteria on your tongue can also cause bad breath, so be sure to brush your tongue before rinsing, and you’ll feel fresh and clean.

It only takes 24-36 hours for plaque to harden into tartar. Once plaque becomes tartar, it is bonded to the tooth enamel and only a dental professional can remove it. However, flossing once a day, every day can help prevent plaque from hardening into tartar.

Brushing too hard can wear away enamel. To get the right amount of pressure, try to imagine you’re brushing a tomato. If you brush too hard you’ll strip the tomato of the skin. Light pressure will keep your teeth and the tomato clean and intact.
