Services
Dental Implants
Our dental implant services provide permanent solutions for missing teeth. Using titanium posts fused with jawbone tissue, we create stable foundations for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This restorative treatment preserves facial structure while restoring full chewing function for patients seeking long-term tooth replacement options.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments effectively remove stains and discoloration from daily wear. We offer customized take-home trays and in-office treatments that safely lighten enamel while minimizing sensitivity. Our ADA-approved solutions help patients achieve brighter smiles through proven bleaching techniques tailored to individual tooth composition.
Root Canal Treatment
Our root canal procedures relieve dental pain caused by infected or inflamed pulp tissue. Using advanced techniques, we remove damaged tissue, clean root canals, and seal teeth to prevent reinfection. This treatment preserves natural teeth while eliminating bacterial threats to overall oral health.
Porcelain Veneers
Custom-crafted porcelain veneers address cosmetic dental imperfections including chips, gaps, and discoloration. These thin shells bond to tooth surfaces to create uniform, natural-looking smiles. Our veneer process combines aesthetic design with durable materials for long-lasting cosmetic improvements.
Emergency Dentistry
We provide prompt treatment for dental emergencies including cracked teeth, severe toothaches, and knocked-out teeth. Our team prioritizes same-day appointments for trauma cases, offering pain management and immediate interventions to preserve dental health and prevent complications from acute oral injuries.

I've had to have virtually all the fillings done by Dr. Claire Jamieson replaced. Beyond that the support staff were great and appointments were easily booked.

Hygeinists are friendly enough but expect a LOT of extras on the bill as they prefer to add things at the front desk rather than ask for consent, especially on children. They do the same thing to adult clients too. Never going back here. Do not recommend.

WORST Customer service ever. Caled to book an appointment and they said they would call back with a date. No one ever called back. Called back a few days later only to be told that I can't be seen due to missed appointments, when I didnt even have any booked. Also alot of extra charges on your bills after the fact. See someone else if I were you.

I've had good experiences here but the last little while I've become frustrated. They cancelled and rescheduled my appointment two or three times. Will find a new dentist.
