General Dentistry in Langley
When it comes to your health, we don’t take chances. At Willoughby Town Centre Dental, our team is here to address all your dental needs in one place. Our general dentistry services cover everything from routine exams and sealants to more complex procedures, such as root canal therapy.
Oral Exams & New Patient Exams
Our oral exams go beyond the basics. We check teeth, gums, bite alignment, and even screen for early signs of oral cancer. It’s our way of making sure everything looks (and feels) right, not just today, but in the long run.
Dental Hygiene Appointments
Dental hygiene appointments are about more than just a fresh smile. Our hygienists gently remove plaque, check your gums, and share simple tips to help keep your mouth healthy between visits. It’s one of the easiest ways to prevent bigger (and more expensive) problems down the road.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting helps cover exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession. This not only improves the look of your smile but also protects against sensitivity, decay, and further damage, preserving your teeth for the long haul.
Oral Cancer Screening
We perform routine oral cancer screening at every oral examination to ensure your health is on track. The screening is quick and comfortable, requiring us to gently touch the gums, cheeks, lips, and neck to feel for irregularities. We may also use the VELscope, which is a simple light that uses fluorescence to illuminate any potential problem areas in your soft tissue.
Dental X-Rays
To paint a more thorough picture of your oral health, we use digital dental X-rays to show us under the surface level of your teeth and mouth. The X-ray technology can help us monitor the growth and eruption of new teeth, the health of the entire tooth (including the tooth roots), and other areas of the mouth that aren’t visible to the eye. This helps us in diagnosing issues and creating personalized treatment plans.
Dental Sealants
When the teeth need an extra layer of protection against decay-causing bacteria and build-ups, we can paint a dental sealant over the teeth for an additional barrier. This simple material gives a back-up layer of protection for those hard-to-clean areas, which can be particularly important for children and teens. The sealant is simply painted onto the teeth and dried.
Root Canals
Root canal therapy is a common need, and we’re pleased to be able to handle most cases right here, including the tricky ones other clinics often refer out. That means fewer appointments, familiar faces, and faster relief from pain and sensitivity. We’re here to help you get back to your usual routine.
Teeth Extractions
We’ll always explore ways to save your natural tooth first. But if an extraction is the healthiest choice, we’ll explain everything clearly and help you make an informed decision. Our team can also discuss restoration options with you, ensuring you’re left with a full and functional smile.
