Missing or damaged teeth affect more than your appearance — they can change the way you eat, speak, and feel day to day. At Houston Dental in Burlington, Dr Tom Houston draws on over 30 years of experience to help patients regain function and appearance with solutions such as dental crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, composite fillings, and wisdom tooth extractions.
Decades of Hands-On Expertise
Dr. Houston has dedicated over three decades to restorative dentistry. His experience enables patients to make informed decisions and ensures treatment plans are thoughtfully tailored to each individual.
Clear, Precise Diagnostics
We use DARYOU intraoral cameras and Planmeca ProOne digital X-rays so you can see what we see. These tools support accurate diagnoses and predictable outcomes without unnecessary exposure.
A Comfortable, Low-Stress Visit
If dental work makes you nervous, we offer nitrous oxide to help you stay relaxed. Patients often comment that the appointment felt easier and quicker than they expected.
When a tooth is weakened by decay, a crack, or a large filling, a crown covers and reinforces it so you can bite and chew comfortably again. Each crown is custom-made to match your natural tooth shape and colour.
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to crowns on the neighbouring teeth. This restores your bite and keeps surrounding teeth from drifting into the gap. The process typically involves two visits — one for preparation and impressions, and another to secure your final restoration. With routine care, crowns and bridges can provide many dependable years of use.
Dental implants are an excellent option for patients who want a stable, natural-feeling replacement for missing teeth. A small titanium post is placed in the jaw, where it bonds with the bone over time. After healing, a custom crown is attached, allowing you to speak, eat, and smile again.
Because implants stand on their own, they don’t rely on neighbouring teeth for support and can help maintain jawbone density. The process is completed over a few months, and most patients describe the recovery as easier than expected. With proper care, implants can last for many years.
Today’s dentures are designed for a natural look and a comfortable fit. We provide full dentures for patients who need to replace all teeth in an arch, and partial dentures when some natural teeth remain.
Full dentures rest on the gums and improve chewing and speech. Partial dentures attach to nearby teeth using discreet clasps to hold them in place. Creating dentures is a collaborative process — impressions, adjustments, and customized tooth selection ensure the final result feels right. Patients seeking added stability can also explore implant-supported dentures that snap securely into place.
Composite (white) fillings blend with your natural tooth structure, making them an ideal choice for treating cavities or repairing small chips. Because composite material bonds to the tooth, less healthy structure needs to be removed. The result is a smooth, natural-looking repair completed in a single visit.
Wisdom teeth often don’t have enough space to emerge properly, leading to discomfort, infections, or pressure on neighbouring teeth. When removal is recommended, we use digital imaging to evaluate their position and plan the procedure.
With sedation options available and Dr. Houston’s extensive surgical experience, the extraction process is typically straightforward. Most patients recover in a few days with mild, manageable discomfort.
You don’t have to live with damaged or missing teeth. Our team combines decades of experience with technology to deliver restorative care that’s comfortable and built to last.
