Gum disease is sneaky. It often develops without obvious pain, and by the time you notice bleeding or recession, it has already been at work for a while. The good news is that it responds well to treatment, especially when caught early. We screen for gum disease at every exam and offer everything from deep cleanings to advanced periodontal therapy.

Research continues to show links between gum health and conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Taking care of your gums is not just about keeping your teeth. It is part of taking care of your whole body.

Little teeth need big attention. We recommend a first visit around age one, or whenever that first tooth shows up, whichever comes first. Early visits are gentle, quick, and focused on building a positive association with the dentist.

As your kids grow, we are here for cleanings, sealants, fluoride, and everything in between. Parents are always welcome to sit chairside. Our goal is to raise kids who actually do not mind going to the dentist, and based on the smiles we see in our waiting room, we are doing okay on that front.

If your jaw clicks, locks, or aches, or if you wake up with headaches that never quite go away, the problem might be your temporomandibular joint. We evaluate jaw function, identify what is driving the discomfort, and build a plan that could include a custom night guard, bite adjustment, or referral to a specialist depending on the situation.

A cracked tooth after a weekend hockey game. A sudden toothache that wakes you up at 3 a.m. A filling that comes loose right before a meeting. Emergencies do not wait for a good time, and neither do we.

Call us at 778 907 8896 and we will get you in as quickly as possible. If you are in pain right now, tell our front desk and we will prioritize your visit. In the meantime, keep the area clean, take over the counter pain relief if needed, and try to save any pieces of a broken tooth.

Dental anxiety is more common than you might think, and there is no shame in it. Some patients have had bad experiences in the past. Others just find the sounds and sensations uncomfortable. Whatever the reason, sedation can make your appointment feel like it is over before it started.

We offer options ranging from mild relaxation to deeper sedation for longer or more involved procedures. Your comfort level guides the decision, and we monitor you carefully throughout.
