Dental cleaning
A deep cleaning by a dental hygienist!
Professional dental cleaning involves removing visible plaque and tartar from your mouth, as well as the buildup hidden beneath the gums and around the tooth roots. Once the scaling is complete, a polishing step removes any remaining plaque from all dental surfaces—teeth, crowns, and fillings.
To maintain optimal gum health and fresh breath, it’s essential to have your teeth cleaned by a certified dental professional one to three times per year.
At K. Smile Dental Center, our dental hygienists use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure a thorough and effective cleaning. Our team includes skilled and experienced dentists and hygienists. Contact our dental clinic in Pierrefonds to book your appointment!

Treatment of caries
Treating tooth decay as soon as it appears helps prevent more costly and painful procedures down the line.
Tooth decay is an infectious disease caused by the presence of cariogenic bacteria in dental plaque. These bacteria colonize the surfaces of the teeth and create lesions in the enamel, dentin, or the cementum of an exposed root.
Cavities are often asymptomatic, which is why it is recommended to have a dental check-up twice a year. However, when a cavity progresses, you may experience sensitivity to cold, heat, or sugary foods. As it worsens, the enamel can collapse and the tooth may break. Brown or white spots can also indicate the presence of decay. If you suspect a cavity, consult a dentist promptly.
Our hygienists and dentists emphasize that proper at-home oral hygiene and a low-sugar diet are essential for maintaining good oral health. Dr. Kralievitch treats and repairs cavities with care and precision, following best practices to provide you with long-lasting and comfortable fillings. Book your appointment today!
Gum disease
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss.
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease or gingivitis, is the most common oral health issue among adults and seniors. The buildup of tartar and dental plaque leads to gum inflammation which, if left untreated, can affect the underlying bone and eventually cause tooth loss.
Like cavities, periodontal disease is usually painless. Early signs include bleeding gums during brushing and persistent bad breath. Red, swollen, and tender gums, as well as loose teeth, are often indicators of more advanced stages.
Our hygienists emphasize the importance of proper brushing two to three times a day and daily flossing to help prevent these conditions. At K. Smile Dental Center, our dentists provide comprehensive care for periodontal disease, helping you preserve your natural teeth for as long as possible.

Teeth whitening
Whether in a clinic or at home, professional whitening allows you to whiten your teeth in a safe and supervised manner.
Before considering teeth whitening, it’s essential to consult a dentist to determine if you’re a good candidate. Several factors—such as tartar buildup, cavities, dental composites, and crowns on front teeth—need to be taken into account.
Whitening is also not recommended for pregnant women and young children. K. Smile Dental Center offers professional teeth whitening in Pierrefonds. Contact our clinic for more information about this service in the Montreal area.
