Fillings
The advances of modern dentistry are many, but we yet have to find a way of reversing the ravages of tooth decay. Once caries has been detected in a tooth the only way to stop its progression is to remove the decay until sound tooth structure has been reached, and replace it with a filling material.
Fillings fall into the following categories:
Silver fillings
This is one of the commonest permanent filling materials and has been used successfully for the past 150 years. It is durable, economical and easy to use.
Composite resins
This filling material is a tooth coloured plastic mixture filled with glass. It is esthetically pleasing as it can be matched to fit the shade of the tooth. Composite is placed in layers, each layer being hardened by means of curing light.
Inlays
These types of fillings are made up of gold or porcelain and require two visits. An impression is taken of the tooth after the decay is removed and the filling in gold or porcelain and the inlay is cemented in at the second visit.
All filling materials have advantages and disadvantages, after a complete examination of your mouth we will be able to recommend the filling best suited to your needs.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

ROOT CANALS
Endodontic therapy treats the irreversibly damaged nerve and blood vessels of the tooth and returns the tooth to a comfortable functioning state and felicitates its preservation.
CROWNS
Fabricated covering that encases the tooth entirely to the gum line. Crowns are one of the best techniques available to restore compromised teeth to full function and strengths.
IMPLANTS
An implant is a small biocompatible titanium screw that is inserted in the jaw. The use of implants provides patients with a superior technique to replace missing teeth resulting in improved comfort, speech and chewing.
DENTURES
A denture is a removable appliance that replaces missing teeth. Dentures are made of an acrylic or metal base with porcelain or acrylic teeth. Dentures are divided into two main categories: Partial Dentures and Complete Dentures.

Dr. Imran Mitha was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything to me in a way that I could understand. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire visit. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating. Overall, I would highly recommend this dental office for anyone in need of dental care. Rahim Tejani2023-02-06 Definitely my favourite dental office in Vancouver. I now reside in Montreal, but often wait until we’re back in Van for the holidays to go see them. My kids feel really comfortable there as well which is great! Bliss P2023-02-03 Kind dentists and staff, and flexible booking. They accommodated to my schedule and made room for my appointment.

Best in the area. Nice staff Thomas Eville2022-11-18 Dr Imran Mitha created a treatment plan for me that included a crown replacement and facilitating a tooth implant. While performing the procedures Dr Mitha was kind, patient and understanding. He never pushed the surgery if I was feeling uncomfortable and he was always cognizant of my feelings. Every precaution was upheld during the time of Covid. He also helped organize a cleaning program with his dental hygienist. I wish Dr Mitha much success with his new practice in Vancouver. He will be missed at the Dental School in Cleveland. Edgar Guerra2022-11-05 Yueming Zhou2022-11-04 Staff is super friendly and trustworthy. Definitely recommend to everyone!
