All the Care You Need,
Under One Roof

Invisalign® straightens your teeth using a series of clear, customized, removable aligners. They're virtually undetectable — hardly anyone will know you're straightening your teeth. Fenworth Dental is a Certified Invisalign Provider in Hamilton, Ontario.

How It Works

The Invisalign System combines advanced 3D computer imaging with orthodontic science. Each aligner is precisely calibrated to move your teeth in small, controlled steps toward their desired position. Treatment may require as few as 12 or as many as 48 aligners, each worn for about two weeks and removed only to eat, brush, and floss.

Is Invisalign Right for You?

Only a certified provider trained by Align Technology can determine if Invisalign is appropriate. Invisalign is not intended for children and is not suitable for every adult. Contact us to book a free consultation.

Preventive dentistry is the cornerstone of our practice. Regular professional cleanings and check-ups — ideally every six months — are the most effective way to catch problems early, maintain healthy teeth and gums, and avoid costly treatments down the road.

What's Included in a Visit

• Professional scaling and cleaning to remove tartar and plaque
• Comprehensive oral examination
• Digital X-rays as needed
• Oral cancer screening
• Personalized home-care recommendations

Why Regular Check-ups Matter

Even with excellent at-home care, plaque and tartar accumulate in areas brushing and flossing can't fully reach. Professional cleanings remove this build-up and give your dental team the opportunity to spot any early signs of concern before they become bigger problems.

Oral cancer occurs when cells in the mouth — including the tongue, lips, cheeks, and throat — grow abnormally. When detected early, oral cancer can be effectively treated. We encourage all patients to schedule regular screenings, especially those at higher risk.

Risk Factors

• Smoking or using tobacco products
• Heavy alcohol consumption
• Frequent sun exposure
• HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
• Being male and over the age of 40

Warning Signs

• Swelling, lumps, or thick patches in the mouth or throat
• White or red lesions in the mouth
• Pain or numbness anywhere in the mouth
• Sore throat or difficulty swallowing
• Persistent hoarseness in the throat

The Screening Process

Your health history is reviewed, then a dental professional closely examines your gums, cheeks, tongue, throat, and surrounding tissues. A device such as the VELscope® may also be used. Most patients find it quick and completely painless.

Fenworth Dental is an Oravital® Certified Clinic. The Oravital® System is a science-based treatment program designed to combat harmful oral bacteria that cause gum disease and bad breath (halitosis).

How the Oravital® System Works

A hygienist conducts an oral exam and reviews your medical history. Gentle swab samples are taken from the tongue, teeth, and throat and sent to a lab for microbial analysis. If harmful bacteria are detected, a specially designed antiseptic or antibiotic rinse is prescribed for approximately two weeks to restore balance to your oral environment.

Ongoing Maintenance

A follow-up visit evaluates progress. Patients are encouraged to maintain daily oral care and continue professional cleanings. The Oravital® maintenance rinse helps reduce recurrence, and annual microbial testing is recommended for long-term health.

Endodontics (root canal therapy) is performed when the inner wall of a tooth has become infected or damaged — due to a crack, internal decay, or a failing crown. In some cases the outside of the tooth looks healthy while damage occurs internally.

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment removes the tooth's pulp — the small, thread-like tissue in the center of the tooth. Once the damaged or dead pulp is removed, the remaining space is carefully cleaned, shaped, and sealed, protecting the tooth from further damage and preventing the spread of infection.

Why It Matters

Years ago, a tooth with a diseased pulp would simply be extracted. Today, root canal therapy saves countless teeth that would otherwise be lost, preserving your natural smile for years to come.

Prosthodontics focuses on the restoration and replacement of missing or damaged teeth. Our denturist Umesh Prabhu works with patients to provide partial or complete dentures that restore both function and aesthetics.

Partial & Complete Dentures

A full or partial denture fills and strengthens sections of the mouth where teeth have been removed. Whether you need a partial replacement or a full set, our dental care provider will determine the best option based on the overall condition of your teeth, gums, and jaw bone.

Crowns & Bridges

Fixed prosthodontic restorations include crowns (caps that cover a damaged tooth) and bridges (fixed replacements anchored to neighbouring teeth), restoring your bite and your confidence.

Dental implants are the most natural-looking and longest-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are anchored directly into the jawbone — functioning just like natural tooth roots and supporting a crown, bridge, or full arch of replacement teeth.

How Dental Implants Work

A small titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone where the tooth root once was. Over several months, the implant fuses with the bone through osseointegration, creating a stable, permanent anchor. A custom-crafted crown is then attached to complete your new tooth.

Benefits of Implants

• Look, feel, and function like natural teeth
• Preserve jawbone and prevent bone loss
• Do not affect adjacent healthy teeth (unlike bridges)
• Long-lasting — with proper care, implants can last a lifetime
• Restore confidence in eating, speaking, and smiling

Are You a Candidate?

Most adults in good general and oral health are candidates for dental implants. Key factors include sufficient bone density and healthy gums. Our team will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine whether implants are right for you.

Our experienced team performs a range of oral surgical procedures right here at Fenworth Dental, minimizing the need for referrals and keeping your care consistent and convenient.

Common Procedures

• Tooth extractions, including wisdom teeth
• Surgical removal of impacted teeth
• Dental implant placement
• Bone grafting to support implants or rebuild lost bone
• Treatment of oral infections or abscesses
• Soft tissue procedures for gum disease

Your Comfort Is Our Priority

All surgical procedures are performed with appropriate anesthesia and, when needed, with the support of our sedation team. We provide thorough aftercare instructions to support a smooth, comfortable recovery.

Periodontal simply means "the tissue around the teeth." Periodontists specialize in the treatment of this area, which is commonly affected by gum disease. Plaque is the most frequent cause, and problems are often discovered only after they have persisted for an extended time.

Stages of Gum Disease

• Mild — Gingivitis: red, swollen gums that bleed easily
• Moderate — Early Periodontitis: gum recession and early bone loss
• Severe — Advanced Periodontitis: significant bone damage and tooth loss risk

Common Warning Signs

• "Long" teeth caused by receding gum lines exposing the root
• Discolored or deteriorating tooth structure
• Gum depressions between teeth
• Inflamed or infected gum tissue
• Tooth loss or unwanted tooth movement

Treatments are available for every stage of gum disease. Regular professional check-ups significantly reduce your risk.

Dental anxiety should never prevent you from getting the care you need. We work with a professional team including anesthesiologists and nurses to provide safe, effective sedation for patients who are nervous about dental procedures.

Who Can Benefit

• Patients with significant dental anxiety or phobia
• Those requiring lengthy or complex procedures
• Patients with a strong gag reflex
• Anyone who has had a previous traumatic dental experience
• Patients who need multiple treatments completed in fewer visits

Our Approach

We tailor the sedation approach to each patient's anxiety level and treatment complexity. Our team prioritizes your safety and comfort throughout the entire procedure. Many patients wake up with the work already done, feeling relaxed and completely at ease.

Whether you're dealing with a severe toothache, a broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, or a lost crown, the team at Fenworth Dental is ready to help. Prompt, compassionate care can make all the difference in saving a tooth and relieving your pain.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

• Knocked-out tooth: Hold by the crown, rinse gently, try to reinsert or keep in milk. See us immediately — time is critical.
• Broken or cracked tooth: Rinse with warm water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and call us right away.
• Severe toothache: Rinse with warm salt water and call our office. Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth or gum.
• Lost crown or filling: Keep the restoration if possible and contact us to arrange a prompt appointment.
• Jaw injury: If you suspect a broken jaw, go to the emergency room immediately.
