Brighton

At your first appointment you can expect to have your teeth examined for different issues, such as potential signs of gum disease, plaque, tooth decay and oral cancer. The examination is crucial as having healthy teeth and gums means avoiding certain health conditions that are often linked to poor oral hygiene.

During your first appointment at our Brighton Dental Clinic, you will speak to a dentist about any concerns you have. Your dentist will complete a full examination, review the findings and present a treatment plan to you. We like to be thorough during your appointment, address all your concerns and give each tooth the attention it deserves.

As a dental patient, there are times you may feel nervous or worried about undergoing a procedure. It is normal to feel anxious. To combat any nerves you may experience, we offer a variety of sedation dentistry options. Our sedation options include oral sedation, intravenous, or nitrous oxide which is commonly referred to as laughing gas. These sedation options are in keeping with our philosophy of providing quality dental care in a comfortable environment.

You may not expect a dental emergency to happen to you, especially if you are taking good care of your oral health. Unfortunately, you cannot predict when an accident will occur that would warrant a visit to a dental office for emergency treatment. For an example, if your tooth has been chipped from grinding or clenching, or you fall and break your tooth, you should visit an emergency dentist to receive treatment immediately. If this is your adult tooth, you are going to need to see a dentist to understand the options of repair or replacement.

Another reason you may require emergency dental care is experiencing a sudden onset of pain. If your tooth hurts to the point you can not sleep or eat properly, you should see your dentist right away. An emergency visit will allow your dentist to determine if you have an infection by carefully examining your teeth and gums. The dentist can determine the cause of pain and prescribe medication, or conduct emergency procedures if necessary.

In addition to offering general dentistry services, sedation for anxious patients, and emergency services for those in need of immediate dental attention, we also offer cosmetic dentistry to fully satisfy all your oral health needs. Our list of cosmetic dentistry services includes: veneers, crowns, dental implants, inlays and outlay, and bonding. See our services tab for further information on all of our services offered.

Chagger Dental Brighton is happy to provide aligner therapy to straighten teeth. Rather than the metal and elastics of standard braces, Invisalign, SureSmile and ClearCorrect use a unique tray system to realign your teeth. If aligner therapy is right for you, you will be custom fit with a number of plastic aligners designed to carefully move your teeth from their current position to a straight and beautiful smile. Over the course of your treatment, a number of different aligners are utilized, each one slowly moving your teeth to their perfect position. Many of our Brighton Dental Clinic patients appreciate the convenience and anonymity of clear trays. Not only are they discreet in appearance, making it nearly impossible for others to detect, but they are also removable as well! As they are removable, gone are the days of navigating food debris lodged in your braces, or dealing with a high-maintenance brushing schedule; trays are easy to wear, remove and clean. Fearful of an extended treatment plan if opting for Invisalign over metal braces? Fear not! Studies have shown that aligner therapy use does not lead to an extended treatment plan, and in some case, can even lead to shorter time frames. The length of treatment is unique to each smile and is dependent on the hours of wear per day, as well as the extent of realignment required.
