Comprehensive Dental Services
Our dental team strive to understand your specific health goals and concerns and educate you on how oral health impacts your overall well-being. As a holistic Calgary “dental clinic near me,” we recognize that every patient is unique. This is why we aim to create personalized treatment plans that meet your specific needs and oral objectives.
General Dentistry
Maintaining your oral health is essential to your overall dental well-being. This branch of dentistry includes a broad range of services and treatments designed to prevent, detect, and address various dental issues. Our general dentist accommodates every need by offering the convenience of scheduling appointments for the entire family or individually.
Family Dentistry
Comprehensive oral care for all ages, from children to seniors. Services include routine cleanings, preventive treatments, cavity fillings, and gum disease management. The main objective is to prevent dental issues from developing by establishing a strong foundation for long-term oral health.
The dental needs of children and infants are frequently overlooked, yet they also need proper care to support healthy and normal growth. Family dentists meet this need by providing preventive care starting from infancy.
Root Canal Therapy
This treatment allows a patient to save themselves from severe tooth pain without having to resort to extraction. Root canal treatment can restore severely damaged or infected teeth to near full health and function. Rather than removing the tooth, this therapy involves removing damaged tissue within the tooth and resealing it. This allows the patient to be free of pain without a full extraction and any associated issues.
Dental Crowns
Tooth-shaped covering that fits over a damaged or decayed tooth. They strengthen weakened teeth, improve their appearance, or complete other procedures, such as root canals, fillings, bridges, or implants. Custom-made to match the shape, size, and colour of natural teeth for a seamless look. A properly placed crown protects the underlying tooth structure to prevent further damage and preserve oral health.
Crown Implants
A durable and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. After a surgical procedure to place a titanium dental implant into the jawbone, the surrounding bone fuses to the implant, creating a strong foundation. Once healed, we attach the custom-made crown to the implant to restore your tooth’s appearance and function.
The materials used mimic the colour and texture of natural teeth. This long-term solution supports proper chewing, speech, and overall oral health.
Same-Day Emergencies
A dental emergency can arise from a variety of causes, including facial trauma or underlying health conditions like gum disease or infection. These dental emergencies involve severe pain and require prompt attention. If you think you need immediate care, call 403-984-1151, or drop by our location at 100 Auburn Meadows Drive SE #500 Calgary, Alberta.
Laser Gum Therapy
An advanced procedure targeting bacteria and infected tissue with precision to promote healthier gums and reduce the risk of periodontal disease. The laser removes damaged areas while minimizing discomfort and recovery time for patients. Considered as a minimally invasive approach that reduces the need for traditional surgical methods.
The laser operates with a specific wavelength to target and eliminate the dark-coloured bacteria responsible for gum disease, like P. gingivalis. Eradicate up to 99.9% of harmful bacteria, making it highly efficient.
Sleep Apnea Appliances
Custom oral devices that reposition the jaw and tongue to improve airflow during sleep. This reduces snoring and apnea episodes. These appliances provide a comfortable, non-invasive alternative to CPAP machines. By promoting uninterrupted breathing, sleep apnea appliances improve energy levels and overall health and well-being for individuals with sleep-related breathing issues.
Mouthguards
Protective dental appliances that safeguard teeth from damage caused by sports or nighttime grinding. Custom-fitted for comfort and durability, mouthguards prevent fractures, jaw injuries, and enamel wear. These are essential for athletes and individuals with bruxism.
Gum Grafting
A surgical procedure that restores receding gum tissue to cover exposed roots and strengthens support for teeth. Grafting reduces sensitivity and the risk of further recession to preserve function and appearance. The procedure involves transferring healthy gum tissue from another area of the mouth or using donor tissue to restore the affected site. Gum grafting creates a natural-looking gumline while protecting vulnerable tooth structures from damage and decay.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Are you unhappy with your smile? A cosmetic dentistry service can help. Our cosmetic dental treatments can transform your look by focusing on the appearance of your overall smile. We start by determining your overall oral goals and put together a personalized plan to help you achieve them.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a clear aligner we use in our orthodontic treatment. These removable aligners shift teeth into place discreetly and comfortably compared to traditional metal braces. As an added benefit, these can be removed for eating and drinking, removing dietary restrictions associated with metal braces. Made from a smooth, nearly invisible plastic. Each set is custom-fitted to gradually guide teeth into their ideal position.
Veneers
Veneers are custom-made and come in porcelain, resin, or ceramic, that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. A small amount of enamel is removed before fitting the veneers for a more natural look and secure fit. Veneers can address various cosmetic issues, including crooked teeth, damaged enamel, gaps, and discolouration.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures can be temporary, full or partially placed on the same day as your tooth extraction. They serve as a protective layer for your gums while they heal and provide a more natural appearance than traditional dentures during the healing process. Immediate dentures maintain facial structure while you eat and speak more comfortably as your mouth adjusts.
White For Life
Provides long-term teeth whitening benefits with professional take-home kits. This service maintains your bright smile with high-quality whitening products. Get ready to enjoy lasting results for a confident appearance over time. The treatment effectively reduces stains caused by coffee, tea, and other common discolouration factors.
Surgical Dentistry
A wide range of surgical procedures is performed on oral structures such as teeth, gums, and jaws. These dental treatments aim to restore the health of oral structures. Surgical dentistry may be required to improve both function and aesthetics.
Bridges
A replacement for one or more missing teeth. They are made up of multiple connected parts to replace the gap and restore your smile. Bridges offer several advantages over partial dentures, including improved eating, speaking, and appearance. A fixed solution that feels more natural than removable options—with greater stability and comfort.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
A wisdom tooth can lead to complications, including pain, crowding, and infection. To prevent these issues, our dental professionals may recommend extraction. Common reasons for removal include impacted, crowded, or decayed wisdom teeth.
Extraction helps maintain overall oral health by preventing damage to surrounding teeth and reducing the risk of gum disease. Do not delay removal, as the infected tooth may result in persistent discomfort and more complex dental concerns over time.
Sedation Dentistry (Minimal & Oral)
Many people feel anxious about dental visits, so we want to make your experience as comfortable as possible. To help alleviate anxiety, we offer a variety of sedation options, including minimal and full sedation. Our Calgary dentists provide the sedation method that best suits your needs.
Dental Scans and Exams
A thorough examination of your oral health to identify potential issues before they become major concerns. Advanced imaging technology allows for precise evaluation of teeth, gums, and jaw structure, ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Detect cavities, infections, and abnormalities that may not be visible during a routine checkup. Regular dental screening supports long-term oral health by monitoring changes over time.
Oral Exams and Cleanings
Our oral exams are a preventive measure that helps identify health issues early on. We examine signs of cavities, gum disease, even cancer and a variety of other diseases that, if detected early on, can prevent tooth decay, mitigate associated complications, and ensure prompt treatment.
Regular cleanings will maintain your optimal dental health. Our expert dental hygienists remove plaque and tartar while ensuring your smile is at its optimal. They can additionally provide the following services at your request: polish and fluoride treatments.
Oral Cancer Screening
Cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow in the mouth, lips, tongue, throat or anywhere else in the body. Early detection of oral cancer significantly improves treatment outcomes. Our standard oral exams involve checking for unusual changes, discolouration, or lumps that may require further evaluation.
Digital X-rays and Impressions
These technologies are safe and offer accurate dental diagnosis and measurements. Digital x-rays provide clear, detailed images with lower radiation exposure than traditional methods. They detect issues early to improve diagnosis and treatment planning. On the other hand, digital impressions replace messy moulds. Patients experience more comfortable and precise measurements for crowns, aligners, and restorations with impressions.
iTero Wellness Intraoral Scans
Capture high-resolution 3D images of teeth and gums in real-time. The technology supports accurate treatment planning for orthodontics, restorative work, and preventive care. The process is quick and non-invasive. Modern scanning systems eliminate the need for traditional impressions for a more comfortable experience while ensuring detailed and reliable diagnostic results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my insurance to cover cosmetic procedures?
Some elective treatments may qualify for insurance coverage if they address functional issues. Cosmetic procedures like veneers and teeth straightening require out-of-pocket payment. Insurance may offer partial coverage for procedures, such as misaligned teeth affecting chewing or hygiene. If you don’t have insurance or benefits, we proudly cater to the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). If your household income is under $90,000 per year, you may qualify for a comprehensive dental care subsidy.
Do you perform oral procedures or checkups on kids?
Yes, ideally schedule your child’s first visit when their first tooth erupts, around six months of age. Early visits allow our family dentist to assess oral health and provide preventive care advice. Regular checkups throughout childhood will maintain good health and prevent future issues.
What service should I book if I need a regular oral exam or checkup?
To schedule an appointment, please contact our dental clinic by phone or email. Our staff will assist you in scheduling the appropriate appointment type.
