At Smith Family Dentistry we strongly believe in the benefits of preventing dental problems rather than waiting for a problem to happen. You can greatly benefit from preventative dentistry because it can mean: reduced cost, reduced pain, stronger teeth and gums, as well as increased overall health and wellness.

We are proud to offer the service of designing a customized dental plan based on your individual needs that will help you best prevent and reduce dental problems. This service is part of a Complete Oral Exam (COE) but can also be completed during any visit to our office. A COE is similar to your physician’s physical exam but for your mouth - it’s where our team looks at all aspects of your gums, teeth, and surrounding structures.

At Smith Family Dentistry we offer multiple ways to replace missing teeth so that you can achieve a beautiful, healthy smile. We are confident that you will find a treatment that meets your dental needs as well as your budget.

Implants

Using modern technology, we can place your implants so that you feel very minimal discomfort during and after. Most patients are pleasantly surprised with the implant procedure, and we are sure that you will be too. Contact us for a free consultation!

Dentures and Partial Dentures with onsite Denturist

We offer replacement of a single tooth or a small area of multiple missing teeth. We also offer implants under dentures so you don't have to worry about your denture being loose. Our dentures and partials are so natural looking that many of our patients say that people have no idea they are wearing dentures.

Bridges

Bridges are a beautiful and functional way to replace a missing tooth or two without having to spend too much time going about it.

At Smith Family Dentistry we want to help you achieve a happy & confident smile. We offer a range of cosmetic services to meet your needs and desires. Just contact us to discuss any of the following services, and we'd be happy to meet with you for a consultation!

When Should You Bring Your Child in for a Check-Up?

We strongly believe in protecting your child’s teeth from a young age. If they have teeth, they can get cavities – we recommend a check-up when your child gets all their teeth in: 12-18 months old. You can even start younger by bringing your youngster with you for your hygiene appointment so he/she will see that coming to Smith Family Dentistry is a fun place!

A modern approach to orthodontics that focuses on beautiful and healthy straight teeth, broad arches as well as a healthy TMJ (jaw joint) and attractive facial profile.

Traditional braces, including fun shapes and colours

Clear braces

Invisalign

At Smith Family Dentistry we welcome everyone, no exceptions. This includes people who desire a bit of a different approach to Dentistry than is commonly done in most dental offices.

X-ray alternative: For people who want another option to X-rays because they are pregnant or want to reduce the number of X-rays they have we have the Cari-Vu scanner. The Cari-Vu scanner uses a light to scan teeth and not radiation. It’s still not quite as effective as an X-ray but it’s the best alternative technology available and is really pretty amazing.

More natural products are available for those who wish to have them used during their visit with both a hygienist and dentist.

If you are interested in a more natural approach to dental care let a member of our team know and you will be matched and scheduled with a provider who will fulfill your desires.

At Smith Family Dentistry we accept everyone with no exceptions. And that includes people with different desires for their filling material.

Composite

By far the most common filling material these days, composite fillings are “white” or tooth coloured and are a type of plastic.

Porcelain/Ceramic

Porcelain/ceramic inlays/onlays are a superior option that can last longer than composite fillings. They are sort of like little (tooth coloured) crowns for the filling.

Amalgam

This very strong filling material isn’t commonly used anymore, but can be an option at Smith Family Dentistry if you desire.

If you have a preference for which material you would like for your filling please notify a member of our team and you will be matched up with a provider who will fulfill your preferences.

At Smith Family Dentistry we care about your comfort and if you are in distress we are here to help.

If you have an emergency during business hours call the office and we will see you as soon as possible.

If you have an emergency after business hours call the office and follow the instructions on the voicemail. You will be in good hands as soon as possible.

Having dental treatments done can be scary and we want to make your experience at Smith Family Dentistry relaxing and pleasant.

That’s why we offer sedation dentistry. You can choose between light sedation with nitrous oxide or heavier sedation with IV sedation.

If you are a bit (or a lot!) nervous about a dental procedure, being sedated is the way to go. At Smith Family Dentistry, we always want to make sure you leave with a smile!

Lasers are the way of the future. They allow for some gum surgeries to be more gentle and less traumatic to the tissues.

In addition to gum surgeries, we are able to treat the following using our laser:

• Tooth sensitivity

• Canker sores

• Cold sores (when treated in early stages with the laser the cold sores will resolve)

• Periodontal disease
