The Dental Health Centre welcomes new patients!

Our office is ready to serve your 

dental health and cosmetic needs.

You are our main concern.  You get personalized, complete treatment in a pleasant setting at the Dental Health Centre.

• "Dental Health" refers to the partnership undertaken by the patient with the dental team to ensure a lifetime of dental health.  Our office is a Dental Health "Centre" because of the wide range of services provided at one location  This is possible because of the diverse abilities of our team.

• Our new patient experience begins with an interview that allows our team to become familiar with your immediate and long-term dental health goals.

• Our unique preventive program - the Oral Hygiene Program - offers our patients the information to best take care of their teeth.  We have proven over and over again that patients with the correct cleaning technique can maintain a state of good health and not generate new problems.  Our goal is to help our patients achieve optimum oral health.

• We offer the finest cosmetic dentistry.  Please look at our case examples page to see our work.

• We realize your time is important! With rare exceptions we see our patients at their scheduled time.

• We pride ourselves on dealing with each patient on  an individual basis.

• We have a very comfortable atmosphere in the office.

Our office uses current technology:

• Velscope Oral Cancer Screening  The Velscope allows us to check for oral cancer cells which cannot be seen by the naked eye.  This can literally save people's lives by early detection of cancerous cells.

• Dental Implants allow us to replace missing teeth without involving adjacent teeth as in conventional bridge-work.  Another use of implants is the stabilization of dentures. There are approximately 50,000,000 people in North America who are "edentulous" (lacking teeth.)   Many suffer a great deal of discomfort as a result of loose  dentures because there is not enough jaw bone to stabilize the dentures. Many denture wearers simply withdraw from any type of social engagement as a result of being compelled to wear them. Denture patients all over the world have experienced relief from loose dentures thanks to Dentists who are trained to place Mini Dental Implants. 

• Digital X-Rays. Our digital X-ray machine requires 80% less radiation than traditional methods.

• Panoramic X-Rays allow us to examine the mid-face, jaw joints, teeth and supporting structures and lower jaw in one X-Ray.  This procedure is not uncomfortable and uses much less radiation than non-digital X-Rays.

• Air Abrasion allows for preparation of teeth without anesthesia in certain situations and enhances the retention of bonded restorations.

• CAD/CAM Technology enables us to do crowns and inlays in one appointment.

• Digital Integration of Patient Information makes for efficiency in our office and easier communication with our patients.

• Interossious Injections allow for the numbing of individual teeth without making the face numb.

• Tooth colored restorative dentistry replicates the form and function of natural teeth.
