Services
Teeth Cleaning
Professional teeth cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup to prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Our hygienists use specialized tools to clean below the gumline and provide education on proper home care techniques. Regular cleanings every 3-9 months help maintain optimal oral health and prevent serious dental issues.
Fillings
We offer durable composite fillings that match your natural tooth color. Our dentists carefully remove decayed material and restore tooth structure using advanced bonding techniques. White fillings provide aesthetic results while maintaining structural integrity for long-term function and comfort.
Root Canals
Our root canal procedures eliminate infection from damaged teeth using specialized instruments and disinfectants. We carefully clean and seal root canals to preserve natural teeth and prevent extraction. Most treated teeth require crowns for long-term protection and functionality.
Crowns
Custom crowns restore strength to damaged teeth using durable materials like porcelain or gold. We prepare teeth for proper fit and work with skilled technicians to create natural-looking restorations. Crowns protect weakened teeth and improve appearance for lasting dental health.
Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through surgical placement of titanium posts. We offer comprehensive implant services including placement and restoration with crowns or bridges. Implants preserve jawbone structure and provide natural-looking, functional replacements.

Our family have been coming to Dr. Olesen's office since the early '90's when we moved from Vancouver. We were in need of a dedicated and professional Dentist because of our dental conditions and we knew that we required many different types of corrective work. Dr. John has always been very thorough, kind and dilligent with all three of us and we each have completely different types of teeth. We are very happy to have found the best of care. Administration, Dental Assistants and Hygienists are all just as equally pleasant and attentive.

The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful.
John is very caring and explains things very thoroughly. Even stayed late to get everything done for me in one visit so I wouldnt have to go back a second time.

Got work done here, didnt do a good job and within a month my tooth has fallen out. It coming our wrecked the rest of my teeth and they wont hold themselves accountable. They said they would fix it and now Ive tried 4 times to get back in and they wont do the work. Go somewhere else where the people at the front desk actually do their job.
