Pacific Highway Dental

Pacific Highway Dental provides full mouth reconstruction for patients requiring the simultaneous restoration of most or all teeth in the upper and lower jaws. This comprehensive approach may incorporate multiple dental disciplines and specialists—including periodontists, oral surgeons, orthodontists, and endodontists—to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Pacific Highway Dental uses advanced digital X-ray technology that exposes patients to 50–80% less radiation than traditional film-based radiographs. The digital sensors allow instant on-screen viewing with enhanced diagnostic features including contrast adjustment, 3-D rendering, and zoom, while eliminating the need for hazardous chemical processing waste.

Pacific Highway Dental restores weak, broken, or heavily decayed teeth with permanent tooth-shaped crowns that improve shape, size, strength, and appearance. Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth, preventing neighbouring teeth from shifting and reducing the risk of associated gum disease or TMJ disorders.

Pacific Highway Dental uses composite (tooth-coloured) fillings made from a mixture of powdered glass and plastic resin to restore cavities with a natural appearance. The durability and longevity of these white fillings depend on material quality, the dentist's technique, and the patient's oral hygiene and dietary habits.

Pacific Highway Dental offers inlays and onlays as a conservative alternative to full coverage dental crowns, also referred to as indirect fillings. These custom-fabricated restorations provide a superior fit and durability for teeth with decay or damage that is too extensive for a direct filling but does not require full crown coverage.

Pacific Highway Dental creates custom-fitted mouth protectors for athletes to minimize the risk of broken teeth, soft tissue injuries, and facial trauma during both contact sports such as hockey and boxing, and non-contact activities like gymnastics and skating. Custom sports guards are recommended from an early age as standard protective equipment.

Pacific Highway Dental places thin ceramic or composite resin veneers on the front surfaces of teeth to address discoloration, wear, chips, slight misalignment, and spacing concerns. The process typically requires two appointments; porcelain veneers are recommended for superior stain resistance compared to composite resin alternatives.

Pacific Highway Dental performs tooth extractions for severely decayed, unrestorable, traumatized, or infected teeth, including wisdom teeth. Extractions are carried out under local anesthesia; healing typically takes one to two weeks, after which replacement options such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures may be discussed.

Pacific Highway Dental addresses the full spectrum of gum disease, from early-stage gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) to more advanced periodontitis (bacterial infection affecting the bone and tissues surrounding the teeth). Treatment includes professional scaling to remove plaque and tartar buildup, targeted bacterial infection management, and ongoing monitoring to prevent recurrence.
