Services
CEREC Same-day Crowns
Our CEREC technology creates custom dental crowns in one visit using precise digital impressions. This eliminates traditional multiple appointments and temporary crowns. Patients receive durable, natural-looking restorations while preserving healthy tooth structure through minimally invasive techniques.
SureSmile Clear Aligners
SureSmile aligners offer discreet teeth straightening with custom-fitted, removable trays. This orthodontic solution gradually repositions teeth without metal brackets, allowing easier oral hygiene maintenance. Treatment plans use digital imaging to visualize progress and ensure predictable smile transformations.
Dental Implants
We provide permanent tooth replacement solutions through titanium implant posts fused with jawbone tissue. This restores chewing function and prevents bone loss while supporting crowns, bridges, or dentures. Advanced imaging ensures precise placement for long-term stability and natural aesthetics.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening services remove deep stains using concentrated bleaching agents under dental supervision. Custom take-home trays ensure even application while protecting gum tissue. Results typically show significant improvement in tooth color within weeks of starting treatment.
Night Guards
Custom-fitted night guards prevent tooth damage from bruxism using durable acrylic materials. These appliances distribute grinding forces evenly across dental arches while maintaining comfortable jaw alignment. 3D printing technology ensures precise fit for effective long-term protection.

Very good disinfecting practices. Feel safe in the office. They have HEPA air filters and an aerosol suction device, plus individually sealed rooms. Great team who are compassionate and knowledgeable.

I just came back from my appointment here and it was great! I noted that I get anxious when Im at the dentists office due to bad past experiences, and all the staff were really friendly and kept asking me how I was doing throughout the appointment and making sure I was okay. They take very good precautions for COVID and I felt very safe while I was there. Being able to choose a Netflix show to watch while everything was going on was an added bonus and a good distraction! The dentist sat with me and explained the results of my x-rays, showing me pictures so that I could understand exactly

Outstanding experience at Dentistry in Waterloo. Great service, friendly and skilled staff across the board, thorough explanations of everything they found and reasons for any work required. I have insurance which covers my expenses for dental, but the pricing and speed of service here is top-notch. I have never experienced any delays during visits, plus Netflix during your apportionment is a bonus. Cannot recommend strongly enough!

Seriously has been the BEST dentist I have experienced - and I've been to a lot... Very friendly receptionist, Idalia from the initial correspondence to coming into the office, and even when I was confused/disorganized with my insurance she was very understanding, patient and helpful. Amazing! She really set the tone for the experience. In terms of the dental work - they asked for and addressed any concerns I may have had as a new patient, the most comprehensive new patient exam that has ever been performed on me and the team walked me through every step when performing work. I got a cleaning
