Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that mimic natural teeth. Our Thunder Bay clinic offers complete implant services from consultation through surgical placement and crown restoration. We use advanced 3D imaging and customized treatment planning to ensure optimal outcomes. Patients benefit from improved chewing function, facial structure preservation, and long-lasting results that can last decades with proper care.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dental services transform smiles through veneers, teeth whitening, and Invisalign treatments. Thunder Bay patients receive personalized smile design consultations to address discoloration, misalignment, and shape irregularities. We use shade-matching technology for natural-looking results and offer take-home whitening kits with professional-grade gel. These treatments boost confidence while maintaining dental health and function.
Emergency Services
We provide prompt dental emergency treatment for toothaches, broken teeth, and other urgent issues. Thunder Bay residents can access same-day appointments for pain management and trauma care. Our emergency protocols include temporary stabilization followed by comprehensive treatment planning. Timely intervention helps preserve natural teeth and prevent complications from dental injuries or infections.
Restorative Dentistry
Our restorative services address dental damage through crowns, bridges, and fillings. Thunder Bay patients receive mercury-free composite fillings that blend with natural teeth and strengthen weakened structures. We replace failing restorations with durable porcelain options that restore function and aesthetics. These treatments prevent further decay while maintaining the integrity of remaining natural tooth material.
Nightguards
Custom nightguards protect against teeth grinding damage through personalized fabrication. Thunder Bay patients receive precise impressions using digital scanning technology for optimal fit. These appliances prevent enamel wear, jaw pain, and headaches associated with bruxism. Our follow-up care ensures long-term comfort and effectiveness through regular adjustments and maintenance guidance.

I decided to make use of my work benefits and go get a cleaning. I have never had a cavity and always take very good care of my teeth. My regular dentist down south had never had to do much to my teeth and I have certainly never been frozen or drilled at the dentist. The dentist at Oasis told me that my teeth look great but that I should come back in and have my fillings replaced. I asked if there were cavities or any issues and he said no its just good to do occasionally. I went back a different day and he again was stating it was very basic procedure and nothing was wrong. He gave me a ton

Recently during my annual check up & cleaning they found a small cavity that needed to be filled. I was given another appointment and went back 2 days later. Due to my health history they took extra precautions to ensure that the procedure would be safe for me. The cavity was much deeper than anticipated & took a fair amount time to fill. I was told that because the cavity was so deep I may experience sensitivity in the tooth for up to 3 weeks. I left the clinic with no pain and no numbing in my mouth or face which was awesome. Day 2 and everything is great. Thank you to Dr. Dominic Ling & dental

I love the results of my Invisalign's! This was something that I have always thought about and wanted to do and was finally able to do it. After some research and referrals from word of mouth, I decided to go for a consultation. The office is modern, immaculate and the staff are so friendly. They were always so accommodating when it came to my crazy work schedule, doing my insurance papers and always keeping track of my progress. Dr. Chow was so meticulous with how my teeth were to turn out, and listened to what I wanted. Theresa and Mannie were so great with monitoring my teeth and making sure

I am a new patient to Oasis Family Dental and had my wisdom teeth removed. Honestly, I was very nervous for the procedure and the team at Oasis made me feel very comfortable. They had all the necessary Covid screening protocols in place and the team seemed very prepared and organized. The front desk staff were all very friendly, the assistants were very knowledgeable and the doctor was great and got it done quickly with no pain! Overall a great experience. I highly recommend Oasis Family Dental.
