Exams and cleanings
A proper look at teeth, gums and bite, digital X-rays only where needed, and a hygiene appointment.
In one paragraph
What it is.
Most of what happens in this building is ordinary dentistry: an exam, a clean, a filling, a crown, sometimes a tooth out. We see families and children, and we see a lot of people who have not been to a dentist in years.
Nobody here will make a comment about the state of your teeth. We tell you what we find, what it costs, and what can safely wait.
The specifics.
Fillings
Tooth-coloured. We will tell you honestly when a filling will do and a crown is overkill.
Crowns and bridges
Scanned rather than impressed, and shade-matched to the teeth beside them.
Root canals
Offered here. Unusually complex cases go to an endodontist, and we will say so.
Extractions
Including wisdom teeth. Sedation options can be discussed after a health assessment.
Children
Yes. From first teeth onwards.
Money
What it costs.
You get an itemised written estimate before anything starts. We bill your insurance directly, so you usually pay only your own portion on the day, and the Canadian Dental Care Plan is accepted. In-house financing is available through PaySpyre, so treatment can be paid for over time.
Questions.
Do you take new patients?
Yes, and no referral is needed. Book online or call 604-801-6669.
What does a checkup cost?
You get an itemised written estimate before treatment.
It has been years since I saw a dentist. Is that a problem?
No, and it is more common than you think. We start from where you are now, not from where you should have been.
Do you see children?
Yes, Yaletown Dentistry sees families and children.
