Dr. Ludmilla Ciucci received her DDS degree in Brazil in 2001. Her dedication to dentistry led her to pursue post-graduate studies, earning a Specialty degree in Endodontics in 2005 and an M.Sc. degree in Clinical Dentistry (Endodontics) in 2008.
Dr. Ciucci's dental journey took a unique turn when she served as a Dental Officer in the Brazilian Air Force for six years after completing her post-graduate studies. Her passion for dentistry began at a young age when she accompanied her grandmother to the dental office and was fascinated by the little jars and instruments.
In 2013, Dr. Ciucci made Canada her home and successfully completed all dental qualifying examinations to contribute to the dental health of Canadians. She actively pursues continuing education courses in Cosmetic Dentistry and Prosthodontics to enhance her skills and knowledge.
Dr. Ciucci enjoys interior design, travelling, and cooking outside of dentistry.

We all love feeling fresh and clean, and having our mouths feel that way is equally as wonderful. Getting in to check your teeth and gums by an oral health professional, specifically through routine cleaning and checkup, is the best method. Having a clean oral cavity eliminates bad breath and helps reduce plaque and tartar from gathering and spreading along your gum line and down into your roots.

Kids & Teens Dentistry
We love our kids and would do anything for them. A big part of being a parent or guardian is ensuring our children stay healthy, including prioritizing their dental health. As a general rule of thumb, it’s recommended that you bring in your child for their first dental appointment by their very first birthday or when their first tooth emerges.
Regular checkups every six months should then be completed so that good oral health for the kid can be maintained, and any issues may be treated while they are relatively small.
A dental implant is a simple yet highly effective way to replace a missing tooth for most patients.
Dental implant systems consist of a dental implant body and abutment and may include an abutment fixation screw. The dental implant body is surgically inserted in the jawbone in place of the tooth's root. The dental implant abutment is usually attached to the implant body by the abutment fixation screw and extends through gums into the mouth to support the attached artificial teeth.
In addition to how a dental implant can improve a person's physical appearance and restore their confidence, it can also prevent further dental issues.

Bright, Hollywood-ready smiles are not just for celebrities; anyone can achieve the smile of their dreams thanks to modern dental treatments.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that involves bleaching your teeth to remove deep stains; whether done in a professional setting or in the comfort of your home, it is highly effective.
Hydrogen peroxide and Carbamide peroxide are the two most frequently used bleaching agents. Each of these substances can penetrate below the enamel and dentin that reside on the surface of your teeth to get rid of discoloration.

Teeth Whitening Explained
As is obvious, teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that involves bleaching your teeth to remove deep stains. Hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide are the two most frequently used bleaching agents. Each of these substances can penetrate below the enamel and dentin that reside on the surface of your teeth to get rid of discoloration.
There are two ways that you can go about enhancing your smile: professional or do-it-yourself teeth whitening in NE Calgary.
A dental crown is a covering for the tooth, which is generally made from materials like porcelain, metal or ceramic. A dental bridge uses two crowns to fill a gap between one or multiple missing teeth.
The bridge's center is a false tooth called a pontic which fills the gap.
Needing a little extra protection for your teeth is by no means a bad thing. When you receive a dental crown, your tooth will be protected from further damage and strengthen and repair the appearance of your entire smile.
Do you have a fragmented tooth? Are you having trouble eating your favourite foods? Perhaps you’re missing teeth. Regardless of the case, that’s why, here at McCall Dental, we offer restorative dentistry services to all our patients. Life is busy enough; you don’t need to worry about eating, smiling, or speaking on top of that. Dental fillings, crowns, and sealants are just a few of the treatments available. Contact us to learn more.
Once your permanent crown/bridge is ready, you'll return to receive it. Your dentist will make sure that it fits you precisely and that your bite is normal before letting you leave
You’ve no doubt heard of dental fillings. Many people have undergone this treatment, making it a common dental experience. Cavities don’t discriminate, but they can cause damage to your teeth and the entirety of your smile if left unaddressed. Dental fillings treat cavities by removing the decayed portion of the tooth and then filling the area with anesthetic material such as porcelain, zirconia or composite resin.

Root Canal or endodontic treatment is necessary when the pulp, the soft tissue inside the root canal, becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have a variety of causes: deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth or a crack or chip in the tooth. In addition, an injury to a tooth may cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible chips or cracks. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to an abscess.
If your tooth is infected, damaged or develops deep decay, root canal therapy can relieve your pain while saving your tooth.
Here are a few symptoms that mean you might need a root canal:
Severe pain while chewing or biting
Pimples on the gums
A chipped or cracked tooth
Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the sensation has been removed
Swollen or tender gums
Deep decay or darkening of the gums

BOTOX COSMETIC®️ treatment is traditionally used cosmetically for fine lines and wrinkles as an anti-aging solution. For therapeutic reasons, it can be used to relax facial muscles and relieve patients suffering from chronic migraines, headaches, and jaw pain relating to TMJ or bruxism.

Do you have a fear of going to the dentist? Do you find it hard to sit still? Maybe you have an overactive gag reflex. There’s no need to worry; all these issues can be addressed through sedation dentistry. It is a safe and effective way to provide comfort, relaxation, and an amnesiac effect during dental treatment.
At McCall Dental, we believe that all our patients should be kept as comfortable as possible, and our staff will do their utmost to ensure that this happens whenever you come in. Don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions about sedation dentistry.
Types of Sedation Dentistry
1. Nitrous oxide sedation.
The colloquial term for nitrous oxide sedation is “laughing gas.” You’ll inhale this through a mask that covers your nose and mouth. It works very quickly and wears off just as fast. You won’t fall asleep, and you’ll be able to respond to your dentist if need be.
2. Oral sedation.
As the name illustrates, oral sedation involves swallowing a pill that contains the sedative medication at least one hour before your appointment. Oral sedation provides light to moderate sedation for anxious patients. While under sedation, you will be in a deeply relaxed state and will be responsive when spoken to. Your vital signs are monitored throughout the procedure while the dentist completes their work.
Our dental clinic offers Nitrous Oxide sedation and Oral sedation to all our patients. For more information about this, contact us today
