From our Cosmetic Dentistry page (Teeth Whitening):

Do you have stained teeth or wish your smile was whiter and brighter?

Everyday use of coffee, tobacco, and staining foods can dull and darken teeth. The dentists at Bloor West Village Dental can help you get your teeth their whitest in the convenience of your own home with “Nite White,” a proven take-home teeth whitening kit.

One of our dentists will provide you with a comfortable custom fitted tray and teeth whitening gel. This gel is to be worn overnight while you sleep, and through a series of applications, usually lasting from 2 to 4 weeks, this proven whitening system will transform dull and discolored teeth into a gorgeous smile.

Invisalign Invisible Braces Now Offered

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

We would like to announce that Bloor West Village Dental Care now offers Invisalign.

Invisalign Clear Braces now at Bloor West Village Dental Care

From Our Cosmetic Procedures Page:

Invisalign is a relatively new dental procedure (founded in 1997), consisting of a series of clear, removable teeth aligners used by dentists and orthodontists as an alternative to traditional metal dental braces.

A series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth, and each aligner is worn for about two weeks at a time before being replaced by the next until the desired position of your teeth is achieved.

Invisalign technology is especially appealing for cosmetic reasons, as the aligners are completely transparent and much harder to detect than traditional braces. They are also removable, so you can eat and drink what you want during treatment.

The Invisalign treatment time varies from patient to patient based on specific needs, and will be determined by one of our dentists.

Invisalign Pricing starts at $4500-

Dr. Birgiolas on Mini Implants

We are pleased to announce that we now offer IMTEC Mini Implants at Bloor West Village Dental Care.

Mini Implants

I just returned from a mini implant course given by 3M Imtec and am really excited about this new development.  These implants have been in use for about 7 years and are showing great long term results.

Why am I excited?  I am now able to offer a one appointment implant overdenture solution to a complete denture patient at a reasonable cost.   This treatment is for the complete denture case, the individual with no lower teeth and a wobbly denture.  Sneeze and you can catch your denture an arms length away.  You know who you are and you are suffering.  Here is the solution.

Four mini implants are placed in the anterior region of the mandible.  Four studs are placed in your existing denture.  The denture snaps on to the implants and is a great fit, no wobble, no loose denture, confidence to eat whatever you desire.

Treatment time about an hour, cost about $3000, a third to a half of regular implant cost.  Need a new denture?  That must be made before the implants are considered at additional cost.  Success rate for implants is about 95%.  Long term results are good.  Maintenance requirements?  Just brush them well and have a twice yearly check-up.  They work well in other situations where additional retention is required with full or partial dentures.  Darn right I’m excited.  It may make your life a whole lot better.
