Dental Exams & Cleanings

Regular exams and professional cleanings are the foundation of lifelong oral health. At Westside Dental, every exam includes a thorough check of your teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues – supported by digital X-rays when needed for precise early detection. We monitor for cavities, gum disease, bite issues, oral cancer, and the early signs of conditions like sleep apnea and TMJ dysfunction. For children, we track development, spacing, and eruption patterns at every visit.

Fillings – The Solea Way

Cavities happen – even with the best brushing habits. At Westside Dental, we use tooth-coloured composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. And for patients who want to avoid needles, our Solea laser performs most fillings without any injection – no freezing, no numbness, no needle anxiety. Most patients are genuinely surprised by how comfortable and fast it is.

Children’s Dentistry

We love seeing young patients. Our team is experienced in creating positive, calm dental experiences for children from their very first visit – building the habits and associations that lead to a lifetime of good oral health. We offer fluoride treatments, dental sealants to protect molars, early orthodontic screening, and gentle, age-appropriate care that puts both kids and parents at ease. Our in-clinic kids’ play room keeps little ones happy before and after their appointment.

Invisalign – For Kids & Adults

Straight teeth are healthier teeth – they’re easier to clean, less prone to wear, and better for long-term jaw health. We offer Invisalign for both teenagers and adults: clear, removable aligners that straighten teeth gradually without the brackets and wires of traditional braces. Digital scanning means no putty impressions, and treatment can often begin faster than you’d expect.

Crowns & Bridges

When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a crown restores its full shape, strength, and function. At Westside Dental, we use CEREC technology to design and mill permanent ceramic crowns in a single appointment – no temporary crown, no second visit, no waiting weeks for a lab result. One appointment, one permanent tooth.

Root Canals

Root canal therapy saves teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted. Despite its reputation, a modern root canal is typically no more uncomfortable than a filling – particularly with our Solea laser option that can handle many soft tissue components without needles. We’ll walk you through every step so there are no surprises.

Extractions

When a tooth cannot be saved, extraction is sometimes the best path forward for your overall oral health. We perform routine extractions as well as wisdom teeth removal, always with a clear explanation of what comes next – including implant options to restore the space.

Mouth Guards

Custom-fitted mouth guards protect teeth during sports and during sleep. Athletic mouth guards provide significantly better protection than over-the-counter options. Sleep guards address nighttime grinding and clenching – protecting tooth surfaces and reducing strain on the jaw joint.

What Makes Us Different for Families

Needle-free options with Solea laser For patients who fear injections above everything else – especially kids – Solea laser dentistry changes the experience completely. Most procedures can be performed without any needle at all.

Same-day crowns with CEREC No double bookings, no temporary crowns, no lab delays. Busy families appreciate that we can often handle complex restorative work in a single visit.

Different for Families

One clinic for every age Your toddler’s first check-up, your teenager’s Invisalign, your own implant consultation, your parent’s crown – we handle all of it. One team that knows your family.

Weekend appointments We offer weekend hours because families are busy during the week. You shouldn’t have to take a day off work for a dental appointment.
Kids’ play room A dedicated play space keeps young children happy before their appointment and gives parents peace of mind.

Netflix at every chair Pick your show, put on the headphones, and let us handle the rest. For anxious patients of any age, distraction is one of the most effective comfort tools available.

All major insurances accepted We work with all major dental insurance providers and help you understand and maximize your coverage at every visit.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment

For new patients, your first visit is an opportunity for us to get to know you – your dental history, any current concerns, and your goals for your smile and oral health. We complete a comprehensive exam, take any necessary digital X-rays or scans, and create a personalized care plan that prioritizes what matters most to you.

There’s no pressure, no upselling, and no surprises on your invoice. We’ll talk you through everything we find and give you a clear picture of what we recommend and why – and you decide what comes next.
