Frequently Asked Questions
Explore some of the most commonly asked questions about our dental services and clinic policies. If your question isn’t listed below, feel free to contact Trafalgar Dental Oakville — we’re here to help!
How often should I visit the dentist?
You should schedule a dental cleaning and check-up every six months. Regular visits help maintain oral health by providing preventive care, identifying emerging issues early, and ensuring professional cleaning of hard-to-reach areas to avoid more serious problems later.
How are chipped or cracked teeth fixed?
Dentists typically repair chipped or cracked teeth using restorative fillings or bonding. For larger chips, a crown may be necessary. A crown covers the damaged tooth with a durable cap that matches your natural teeth, protecting the structure and enhancing your smile.
What do dentists use to numb your mouth?
We use topical anesthetics and injectables like lidocaine or articaine to numb the treatment area. These anesthetics take effect quickly and typically last 30 to 60 minutes, ensuring a pain-free procedure.
What materials are used for dental fillings?
We use composite resin for our restorative fillings because it blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. Other filling materials include gold, porcelain, and silver amalgam (a mix of mercury, silver, tin, zinc, and copper). All materials are safe, durable, and designed for long-lasting results.
