General Dentistry

General Dentistry for Windsor, Riverside & Tecumseh Families.

As a general dentist in Windsor, ON, East Riverside Dental Centre is the primary dental care provider for patients of all age groups — from young children in Forest Glade to seniors throughout Riverside and Tecumseh. Our team is responsible for the diagnosis, treatment, management, and overall coordination of services related to your oral health needs. Whether you need a routine cleaning, a same-week appointment for tooth pain, or ongoing care for your family's smile, our general dentistry team is here for every stage.

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are one of the most common treatments we provide — whether you're dealing with a new cavity, an aging filling that needs to be replaced, or a tooth damaged from everyday wear. A filling may be necessary to repair decay, old fillings, or even damaged teeth.

With our filling and restoration procedures, we can repair and treat your teeth. Our dental restoration procedures treat cavities with materials designed to help strengthen your teeth so they can last longer and prevent further problems later on.

Catching small issues early with fillings and restorations helps you avoid more invasive treatment, like root canals or extractions, down the road.

Oral Hygiene

As a family dentist, we know great dental care begins with reliable oral hygiene at home and at our office.

While at our office, we will make sure that you receive the highest level of service and ensure you maintain great oral health. We can help you establish a dental hygiene routine that will keep your teeth happy and healthy — preserving your natural teeth and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental disease. Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet.

From your child's first checkup to routine cleanings for the whole family, our team takes the time to teach the habits that protect smiles for a lifetime.

Extractions

If you're searching for tooth extraction, know that it's always our last resort, not our first option. An extraction could be recommended if the tooth is beyond repair — our first goal is always to save the tooth, but if that isn't possible, extraction can prevent further damage from infection.

If your tooth has an infection that's damaging the bone, or is causing you pain or discomfort, the only option may be tooth extraction.

Don't worry about your smile after having a tooth removed — there are many procedures, such as dental implants and dental bridges, that can be suggested to help keep your smile complete. Patients throughout Riverside trust our team to recommend an extraction only when it's truly the best path for your oral health, and to walk you through replacement options afterward.

Crowns & Bridges

When a filling isn't enough, crowns and bridges help re-establish your smile. A dental crown or bridge is a natural-looking tooth replacement that protects and strengthens tooth structures that can't be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.

Dental crowns and bridges can whiten your teeth, reshape your teeth, realign your teeth, repair your teeth, or replace a missing tooth.

They can also protect a heavily filled tooth or one that's had previous root canal treatment — a common next step after completing endodontic therapy with our team.

Endodontics

If you're dealing with sudden tooth pain and searching for root canal treatment, don't wait — some tooth pain can signal a serious infection that requires immediate action. If you have an infected, injured, or damaged tooth, a root canal may be necessary to preserve it.

With successful root canal therapy, or endodontics, the tooth can be saved, restored, and kept for lifetime function. Endodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases or injuries to the dental pulp.

It's one of the reasons Windsor families turn to our general dentistry team before considering extraction.

Dentures

Dentures are artificial teeth and gums formed to your mouth and created by your dentist to replace lost or removed natural teeth. They're custom-made replacements for missing teeth that can be taken out and put back into your mouth.

Dentures can be full or partial — replacing all teeth along the top or bottom gum line, or just the few that are missing.

Regardless of what kind of dentures you need, they'll be custom designed to fit your mouth and visually matched to your existing teeth, so patients throughout Riverside can smile with confidence again.
