Services
Dental Crowns
Custom dental crowns restore damaged or misshapen teeth while protecting against future oral health issues. Our three-step process includes decay removal, mold creation, and secure placement of color-matched crowns. These restorations preserve tooth functionality and prevent more invasive procedures like extractions.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth using titanium posts and porcelain crowns. This two-stage procedure involves jawbone integration followed by crown attachment, offering improved chewing ability and facial structure support. Implants prevent bone deterioration and maintain adjacent teeth alignment.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services use Philips Zoom! technology for dramatic results in-office or gradual improvement at home. In-office treatments achieve up to eight shades whiter in 45 minutes while take-home kits provide customized whitening over one to two weeks with dentist-supervised care.
Root Canals
Root canal therapy eliminates infection from tooth pulp while preserving natural tooth structure. Modern techniques with local anesthesia make the procedure comfortable, typically completed in one visit followed by crown placement for back teeth. This treatment prevents tooth extraction and related complications.
Dental Hygiene
Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup while identifying potential issues early. Our hygienists perform gum depth checks, fluoride applications, and personalized oral care education. Regular six-month visits help prevent cavities, gum disease, and more extensive dental treatments.

I have never been so grateful to a dentist as I am to Dr.Lohues, Darcie and Kira. For years my teeth were in awful condition because of a disease I have involving lots of acid reflux. I couldn’t brush them often because there were nerves showing, and I had a huge fear of dentists after multiple bad experiences in Taber; not to mention I was extremely self conscious when people would say “there’s something in your teeth” and me knowing they were holes. Not only was every problem fixed in a timely manner, but none of them ever made me feel bad about the state my dental hygiene

I switched years ago because I really did not like the way I was treated. Very rough with my mouth and actually caused me to be terrified of dentists for many years. Now years later I'm actually suffering because of things that should have been done years ago when I was still going here for my services.
