Invisalign
The virtually invisible aligners, which are made of a thermoplastic material uniquely developed for the Invisalign treatment plan, look similar to teeth-whitening trays. A series of Invisalign aligners are custom-made for you, to move your teeth in the sequence determined by your doctor. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving onto the next set of aligners in your treatment plan.
Laser Dentistry
Laser Dentistry procedures reduce bleeding and improve recovery time. Often gum surgery or routine fillings can be conducted without the need for freezing or stitches.
Oral Surgery
Oral surgery is the removal of teeth, including wisdom teeth. Extracting wisdom teeth can be a source of anxiety for many patients, which is why the dentists at Mount Pleasant Dental are happy to offer sedation options for all our patients. Please remember that early removal of wisdom teeth means that there will be much less of a chance for complications to occur.
Pediatric Dentistry
Promoting the importance of oral health to children is very important to the dental team at Mount Pleasant Dental group. Regular dental checkups and cleaning will help children build a strong foundation for a lifetime of good oral hygiene. The dental staffs are trained in providing treatments to infants, children, and teens. We work together with the parents to help the children understand why it is important to take care

Crowns And Bridges
Crown lengthening treatment adjusts the levels of your gum and bone, it is done to expose more of the tooth so it can be properly restored. Sometimes the procedure is done to improve “gummy” smiles; this occurs when there is an excess amount of gum tissue surrounding the teeth and the teeth appear smaller in size.
Sedation Dentistry
Often called “laughing gas,” is used as a mild sedative. It is delivered through a nose hood and is administered throughout the entire procedure. It relieves anxiety and reduces pain during the dental procedure.
Inlays And Onlays
Inlays and onlays are partial crowns; they use the existing tooth structure as a base to fit the inlay or only on to the tooth. This procedure is done to give strength to the tooth and to help prevent possible damage. Depending on the severity of the decay the dentist will recommend either an inlay or an onlay.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Veneer is a thin layer of material usually made from porcelain that is bonded on to the anterior tooth. It is generally used to improve the aesthetics of a tooth or to protect the tooth from damage. Veneers are customized to match the shape and colour of your tooth and can often be an alternative to crowns. The material used is durable but may need to be replaced in the
Orthodontics (Braces)
Orthodontics is a field of dentistry that looks into aligning the teeth and jaws to improve a patient’s smile and oral health. A dentist usually recommends braces to improve the patient’s physical “orofacial” appearance. Through orthodontic treatment, problems like crooked or crowded teeth, overbites or underbites, incorrect jaw position and disorders of the jaw joints are corrected.
