Prosthodontics Clinic

We treat a range of issues, such as missing teeth, damaged teeth, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain or dysfunction, cosmetic concerns and obstructive sleep apnea.

What to expect

Before your first appointment, you may be asked to complete a patient health questionnaire to help us understand your medical history and needs. Please bring your completed questionnaire with you to your first appointment.

At your first appointment, we will talk with you about your dental history, symptoms and concerns. A prosthodontist may examine your teeth and gums and assess your oral health. We may also take X-rays or perform other tests as part of your visit.

We will then work with you to decide on a care plan specific to your care needs. Your treatment plan may include:

• Dentures
• Crowns (tooth-shaped caps)
• Bridges (prosthetic teeth and crowns that replace one or more teeth)
• Implant-supported prostheses (crowns, bridges or dentures that attach to dental implants)
• Oral splints
• Night guards for TMJ disorders and sleep apnea

Please note that we are a teaching hospital, so you may see medical students, residents or other medical trainees as part of your care. Learners are supervised by other members of our dedicated health-care team who work together to provide you with comprehensive care.

Please be aware that OHIP does not cover most dental treatments, and you will be required to pay for your dental care. See our dentistry fees page for more information.

What to bring

• Health (OHIP) card or valid health-care coverage
• Your hospital card
• A list of your current medications
• Your completed patient health questionnaire, if applicable
• A method of payment (Visa, Mastercard, Interac debit or cash) for dental fees following your appointment
