Oral Cancer Screening

When it comes to your oral health, early detection is key. That’s why we offer oral cancer screenings at our dental clinic, helping you stay healthy and catch any potential issues before they become more serious.
Oral cancer can be a serious and life-threatening condition, but with early detection, it is highly treatable. Our oral cancer screening is a quick, painless, and non-invasive procedure that can help detect any potential issues early, giving you the best possible chance for successful treatment.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often cause dental problems due to their location at the back of the mouth and the difficulty in cleaning them properly. This can lead to issues such as decay, infection, gum disease, and even misalignment of other teeth. Fortunately, our skilled professionals can help you safely and effectively remove these problematic teeth. Our goal is to ensure that your wisdom tooth extraction is a seamless and hassle-free experience, so we offer a range of financial options to help you get the care you need on your budget. And after your extraction, our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a quick and smooth recovery.

Root Canal Therapy

If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, consider root canal therapy at our dental clinic. Root canal therapy is a common dental procedure that can help save a damaged or infected tooth, preventing the need for more extensive treatments like extraction. At Smile Makers Dental, we understand that the thought of undergoing root canal therapy can be daunting. However, our skilled professionals are here to provide you with a comfortable, stress-free experience. We use the latest technology and techniques to ensure your root canal therapy is as painless and efficient as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions on Comprehensive Dental Care:

  • What does “comprehensive dental care” mean?
    Comprehensive dental care means looking after your full oral health—teeth, gums, bite, and long-term risk factors—through prevention, diagnosis, and treatment planning, not just fixing problems as they appear.

  • What services are usually included in comprehensive dentistry?
    It typically includes checkups and cleanings, X-rays, oral cancer screening, fillings, crowns, root canals, gum care, extractions, and tooth replacement options like bridges, dentures, or implants—plus cosmetic services when needed.

  • How is a comprehensive exam different from a regular checkup?
    A comprehensive exam is usually more detailed, often for new patients or long gaps in care. It may include full-mouth assessment, gum measurements, bite evaluation, and a long-term treatment plan.

  • Why are X-rays important for comprehensive dental care?
    X-rays help detect issues that aren’t visible during a visual exam—like decay between teeth, bone loss from gum disease, infections, impacted teeth, or problems under existing fillings/crowns.

  • Does comprehensive dental care include gum disease screening?
    Yes. Gum health is a major part of comprehensive care. Your dentist or hygienist may measure gum pockets, check for bleeding/inflammation, and recommend cleaning frequency or gum therapy based on findings.

  • Can comprehensive dentistry help with jaw pain, clenching, or TMJ symptoms?
    Often, yes. Comprehensive care can include evaluating bite, wear patterns, and symptoms of grinding/clenching. Treatment may include night guards, bite adjustments, or referrals when needed.

  • How do you prioritize treatments in a comprehensive plan?
    Dentists typically prioritize by risk and urgency: pain/infection first, then active decay and gum disease, then structural needs (crowns/bridges), and finally cosmetic improvements if desired.

  • How often should I come in for comprehensive care?
    Most people benefit from exams and cleanings every 6 months, but some need more frequent visits based on gum disease, cavity risk, smoking/vaping, medical conditions, or orthodontics.

  • Is comprehensive dental care covered by insurance in Canada?
    Many plans cover preventive care (exams, cleanings, basic X-rays) and contribute toward restorative work (fillings, crowns, root canals), but coverage depends on your plan’s annual maximums and frequency rules.

  • How do I get started with comprehensive dental care?
    Book a new patient exam. Bring your insurance info, medical history, and any concerns (pain, sensitivity, cosmetic goals). After assessment, you’ll receive a clear treatment plan with options and cost expectations.
