Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)

Treatment of jaw problems and occlusion of teeth

The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect the lower jaw to the skull. These joints frequently present with dysfunctions. Common symptoms are jaw pain, misalignment of teeth, jaw or teeth not closing comfortably, tooth wear, fractured or loose teeth, noises in joints, headaches or frequent ears. Make an appointment for a consultation with one of our dentists who has received extensive training at the Canadian Institute of Occlusion. We will carry out an exhaustive evaluation of your TMJ and we will offer a treatment plan adapted to your needs and/or we will refer you to physiotherapists, osteopaths or doctors in our network.

Nitrous Oxide, a conscious sedation

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, can help reduce stress, anxiety, and pain. For people (adults/children) who are fearful or anxious, nitrous oxide is an effective and safe tool to improve your comfort during dental treatments. With calming, relaxing and analgesic (painkiller) properties, nitrous oxide is considered a weak anesthetic which is quickly eliminated from the body after a treatment session under sedation. Nitrous oxide also regularly recommended for, among other things, reducing stress in patients with angina, hypertension or having suffered a heart attack, but also to increase cooperation in children. The patient remains conscious throughout the treatment under nitrous oxide, and can resume his occupations immediately after the treatment.

Bocarmonie’s professionals will be happy to answer your questions about this service, which is really appreciated by many people.

Restorations (fillings) using biocompatible materials

A restoration is the filling of a cavity created by the removal of decay or partial tooth breakage. There are two main choices of materials for fillings: silver-coloured (amalgams) or white (composite), the latter being more aesthetic. We are here to advise and guide you in your choice of filling materials, in order to provide what is best for you.

Ceramic restorations, incrustations

An incrustation is manufactured in a laboratory to repair a tooth with a defective filling or cavity. Instead of using the usual filling materials such as amalgam (silver-coloured fillings) or composite (white fillings), it is possible to use a ceramic restoration. It is more durable, stronger, more aesthetic and more comfortable for the gums.

There are two main types of incrustations:
Inlays, for a minimal tooth restoration.
Onlays, for bigger repairs where there was previously a large cavity or a large filling that broke down at least one of the walls of the tooth.

Inlays, onlays

Oral Surgery

Simple and surgical tooth extraction, impacted or not

After careful evaluation of your mouth and your x-rays, we will be able to reassure you and proceed with the removal of the tooth or teeth in question.

Wisdom teeth extraction

Laser frenotomy

Frenotomy uses a medical laser beam to remove the frenum or membranous muscle attachment of the lingual frenum – the web under the tongue – or the labial frenum – located between the inside of the upper lip and the gums and similarly between the lower lip and gums. This minor surgery may be necessary as part of an orthodontic treatment or to facilitate phonation and swallowing.

Dental Implants

Dental implants can replace missing teeth and thus regain chewing ability and eat well. The dental implant consists of a titanium rod that replaces the root of the missing tooth, in a durable way, to serve as a support for a new ceramic crown. After a short period, the implant is completely integrated into the bone and it is then possible to proceed with the installation of a new tooth on it. The new tooth will have an aesthetic appearance similar to natural teeth, it improves masticatory function and speech. It also reduces bone loss (bone necessary for supporting teeth or prostheses) and consequently premature aging of the face.

Laser treatment of cold sores (herpes labialis)

At the first warning of eruption (tingling feeling), phototherapy can help stop the spread of sores and greatly reduce the time of resolution.

Removal of fibroids

A fibroid is a benign (non-cancerous) tumour, which develops by abnormal proliferation of fibroblasts. Depending on where the fibroid is located, it can be bothersome and require removal.

Periodontics

Treatment of gum disease (gingivitis)

Early detection of gum disease and effective and recognized treatment to help you keep your teeth.

Gengivitis vs periodontal

Periodontitis

Treatment of bone loss around the teeth (periodontics)

Untreated gingivitis leads to bone loss around the teeth, called periodontitis. The earlier periodontitis is detected, the easier it is to stop it and treat it.

Periodontitis affects 7 out of 10 adults, so it is very important to detect it early! At Bocarmonie, we are very careful about this disease, and the whole team is trained to detect and treat it. If neglected, it is a disease that ultimately leads to loss of teeth. Several studies show strong links between periodontitis and other diseases, such as diabetes or, premature birth of underweight babies, to name just a few. Our staff will be happy to take the time to answer your questions on this topic.

Gum graft

Minor surgery on gums to protect the root of a loosened tooth and prevent progression, or to increase the width of gums needed to support the bone around the teeth.

Gum grafts

Alloderm graft

Endodontics

Mechanical root canal

The purpose of this procedure is to clean, disinfect and seal the canal in the root of a tooth. It is thus possible to save a badly damaged tooth or one infected by decay in the tooth nerve. When diagnosed early, most root canals are painless, as the infection or inflammation is only beginning and thus easy to control. Regardless, this treatmenst are performed under local anesthesia.

CEREC (CERAMIC RECONSTRUCTION) technology consists of the digitization of teeth and the fabrication of an all-ceramic dental restoration (crown or inlay) during the same appointment with specialized state-of-the-art equipment. Restorations made with CEREC are the treatment of choice in many situations such as a tooth damaged by decay, a broken tooth or a tooth that has undergone major treatment making it fragile. These restorations are very efficient, very durable and very aesthetic. The thousands of CEREC restorations performed allow us to be very confident in recommending this type of treatment when the situation is favorable.
