These are all situations where the roots of the tooth need to be treated. More accurately the small canals within each root need be addressed immediately. Once Dr. Bazylak has completely anesthetized (frozen) the tooth and surrounding area, a small opening is made within the tooth to reveal the complex canal system (pulp). This entire system is completely cleaned out and disinfected right up to the tip of the root and then sealed. This procedure is commonly referred to as a "root canal". Any discomfort after the anesthesia wears off can usually be handled by most common over the counter medications.

Sometimes in life, the unexpected can happen. A large cavity can get out of control and start to infect the tooth. A traumatic incident can seriously harm the living tissue within the tooth. A tooth that has been extensively treated in the past can suddenly become painful.
There many ways to permanently and safely have whiter teeth and a brighter smile.

The broken or weak tooth is reduced in size all around to create space for a brand new one piece outer shell usually made out of esthetic porcelain. The tooth will regain its original strength and natural appearance. In rare situations where the damage to the tooth is so severe that it cannot be repaired and has to be removed then a permanent replacement is the only option. There are two main ways in which a missing tooth can be replaced namely bridges and implants. A bridge usually consists of placing a crown on the tooth on either side on the space with a solid porcelain tooth attached to both of these "bridging" this space. A bridge is permanely attached to your natural teeth. Another option to consider is by placing a dental implant. These are completely independant and free standing. Its is typically completed in two stages. An initial stage where an artificial root form (fixture) is surgically placed into the supporting bone, and a second restorative stage where a new tooth is secured to this.

Prevention of dental problem is certainly the best approach but sometimes a tooth can unexpectantly break. If the break is minor a filling can usually repair the damage. In some cases where the tooth itself is weakened surrounding the entire tooth with a crown (cap) is the only option.
Almost all of your oral health needs can be met in a general office setting but for complex or highly specialized conditions, Dr. Bazylak will set up an appointment with a specialist for you. A common example of this is being referred to a board certified Orthodontist for straightening your teeth.

This can cause many problems with our teeth such as cracks, fractures, or sensitivity. It can also damage our jaw joints (TMJ) and contribute to muscle tenderness and even headaches. A custom nightguard, fitted to the top teeth, should be comfortable and unobtrusive.

Dr. Bazylak now has the option of taking a small 3-dimensional view of an area using a dental CT (computed tomography is also known as a CAT scan) right in his office. It is as quick and easy and taking a traditional dental x-ray. The resulting 3D image provides information that we never thought would be possible in the world of dentistry!

Using dental anesthetics (freezing), the affected tooth and surrounding area are completely anesthetized before the tooth is removed by applying gentle yet firm pressure.

Dr. Bazylak has developed a close relationship with the oral surgeon specialists in Saskatoon and can provide you with a referral for tooth removal when the procedure is deemed to be complex or you require or prefer sedation for the extractions.
