Malo Molars

Dr. Steve Malo opened his dental practice on Union Street to Simcoe area patients back in 1978. He worked steadily and by 1985 the practice outgrew it's location and moved into the newly constructed Malo Professional Building on Colborne Street North. As Dr. Malo continued to provide exceptional dental care the practice has continued to grow including the addition of his son, Dr. Ian Malo, in 2005.

Many people assume they will wear dentures eventually. However, with proper care, your teeth can easily last a lifetime. That said, should you lose the majority of your teeth, full dentures can replace them and restore your smile. Even if you are only missing a few of your natural teeth, you may want to think about filling out your smile with partial dentures.

Gum Disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults: it attacks the gums and bone that support the teeth. Beginning with slight swelling and redness, and sometimes sensitivity of the gums, Gingivitis, the early stage of periodontal disease, can go undetected if a patient avoids regular dental checkups.

A crown or cap is a cover that fits over a tooth that has been damaged by decay, broken, badly stained or mis-shaped. It is prepared by your dentist, and usually requires more than one visit to complete. A crown can be made of acrylic, metal, porcelain, or porcelain bonded to metal.

All-porcelain crowns look more like your natural teeth, and therefore are usually used for front teeth, while porcelain bonded to metal is stronger and better for crowns in the back of the mouth.Sometimes all-metal crowns are used for back teeth because of the metal's strength. To prepare your tooth for a crown, the tooth is first frozen with anaesthesia, and then filed down so the cap can fit over it.
