Our Services
The chief objective of our practice is to provide high-quality and preventive dentistry to everyone we welcome into our office. If at any time during the appointment process you have a question or concern please let us know.
Your comfort is of the utmost importance to us.
Invisalign
Invisalign is the best way to align your teeth and improve your oral health without having to live with the “metal mouth” look of traditional braces. That’s because Invisalign is a series of clear, removable, plastic aligners that are custom-made for your teeth.
It’s easy to get started. After discussing your concerns, an examination of your teeth with be done including photos and a digital scan of your mouth. One of our certified Invisalign dentists can provide you with a detailed bite assessment and recommended treatment plan. Invisalign is virtually invisible and doesn’t interferes with your daily habits or activities.
Solea Laser
Comfortable, preventive, flexible care
We’re pleased to announce that we’ve added a leading-edge laser system to our practice. The Odyssey Diode Laser is very patient-friendly. It provides you with comfortable, preventive, minimally invasive treatment options. It provides us with greater flexibility in administering them.
Solea is a dental laser that can replace the dental drill in the majority of procedures in our practice. In fact, nearly every patient skips anesthesia because they just don’t need it. Solea is our way of keeping you happy. Because more than anything, we love to see you smile.
Solea Sleep
Solea® Sleep reduces or eliminates snoring by tightening tissue in the soft palate and reducing vibrations that cause snoring. Unlike surgical procedures that require incisions, stitches, and long recoveries, Solea® Sleep is a nonsurgical laser treatment that takes only a few minutes with no recovery time and immediate relief. Enjoy a better night’s sleep for you and your partner.
Healthy Start
An estimated nine out of ten children suffer from one or more symptoms related to Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB). – JAOS, Bergersen / Stevens
The HealthyStart® System has been specifically designed to promote the proper growth and development of the jaw and airway to optimize airflow and promote proper nasal breathing while straightening your child’s teeth. As these areas develop many of the symptoms of Sleep Disordered Breathing disappear. When kids can breathe properly, they can begin to learn, grow, and blossom into their true genetic potential.
Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide sedation, also known as “laughing gas,” is used for its calming effect. It’s a colorless, almost odorless gas that is combined with oxygen, then administered to you through a small mask that covers your nose. It can help to relax you, ease your fear and make you feel more comfortable during your dental treatment.
Botox Therapeutic
Dr. Michele Nielsen is trained and certified to administer therapeutic Botox treatments.
Deputy registrar Alex Penner stated, in a National Post article about a Victoria dentist trained in Botox, that “dentists know the musculature and anatomy of the face better than most physicians because that’s all we do.” And they are certainly more comfortable providing facial injections.
Digital X-Ray
High-tech diagnostic tools help detect tiny problems so they don’t become big problems. We utilize digital radiography which dramatically decreases the amount of radiation required for an x-ray. Our clinicians will be wearing tiny ‘microscopes’ on their glasses, or loupes as they are called in the dental field, which enable them to get a better view of your oral condition. You can see these magnified images on our computer screen when we take intra-oral photos.
Smile Design and Makeovers
Smile makeovers combine facial aesthetics and smile design to create the best and most beautiful smile for your face. As dentists who focus on creating beautiful smiles, our team understand you are looking for someone who will listen to your goals regarding your smile and exactly what you would like to accomplish with your cosmetic dental treatment. It is then important for us to discuss with you the pros and cons of your individualized aesthetics goals. This is an important decision and we want to make sure you are informed to make the best decision for your future smile. Smile design can use a combination of Invisalign, crowns, veneers and even Botox Cosmetics to accomplish your goals.
