Cosmetic Dentistry

Our dentists have been interviewed on television and in magazines about their work in cosmetic dentistry. The happiest patients we have are those who have decided to improve their smiles. We know that many people hate their teeth, but are completely unaware how we might give them a new, beautiful smile. You might have seen the TV show “Extreme Makeover”. Our dentists can give you that same smile right here in Vancouver. We use a combination of porcelain veneers, crowns, teeth whitening, orthodontics, and laser gum recontouring: the results are incredible! This is truly a life-changing experience and we have seen the difference it makes in people’s lives many times. It is the most rewarding gift you can give yourself. Come in and we will give you an idea of what is possible.

No Mercury fillings!

Our dentists have not used the mercury containing fillings for over twenty years, long before some of the health questions about mercury were being raised. While still an area of debate, the use of mercury has been banned by many countries and Health Canada has recommended limiting the number of fillings that contain mercury in pregnant women. The tooth-coloured fillings are much more difficult and more expensive to place, but our dentists use techniques developed over that time to make them very successful. The added benefit is that the tooth-coloured fillings help to strengthen the tooth.

Teeth Whitening

Our dentists have been whitening teeth for 20 years and have discovered the most favourable laser-bleaching technique called “Deep Bleaching™” we also offer the conventional custom take home trays which work well, but this new technique is superior. If you are perfectly happy with the size and shape of your teeth, but would like to see them whiter, this is the answer.

Treatment of Chronic Headaches, Migraines and Facial Pain (TMJ symptoms)

Most facial pain and headaches are muscular in nature. It has been discovered that most headache sufferers clench and grind their teeth at nighttime while they are sleeping. We were the first in Vancouver to use the elegant and small NTI device that has been successful in eliminating many people’s suffering. We have been able to help about 80% of those clients who suffer from migraine headaches, which are difficult to treat, by reducing their symptoms. You might have seen us on Canada AM being interviewed about our use of this NTI device.

In some cases, reconstructing worn teeth, or replacing missing teeth can also help headache patients.

Dental treatment of Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Snoring is a huge problem for many people. Various treatments, including laser surgery, have had some success. Snoring is a result of the vibration of the soft tissues in the back of the throat. At night, when the jaw and tongue drop back, the airway is reduced and vibration occurs. Utilizing a dental appliance that keeps the jaw forward, many people have found a great reduction in their snoring. Some people who suffer from snoring also have sleep apnea, which usually goes undiagnosed. If you are a poor sleeper, do not wake up feeling refreshed, and often feel tired during the day, this could be your problem. Sleep apnea has been called “the silent killer,” as fatigue can result in many accidents. Our dentists will work in concert with the request of your physician, or with a prescription from your physician.

Sedation Dentistry

Many people are very apprehensive about having dental treatment. Our dentists recognize this fact, and offer a pill that alleviates anxiety, which is taken before your appointment. Many patients find that they are sufficiently relaxed to fall asleep during their treatment. Please let us know if you feel that sedation dentistry might help you.
