General Dentistry
Our general dentistry focuses on preventive care and oral health maintenance. Services include cleanings, restorations, and comprehensive examinations to address dental issues early. Experienced dentists provide personalized treatment plans for long-term oral wellness.

Dental Implants
Implant solutions replace missing teeth permanently. This service includes surgical placement and restoration with crowns or bridges. Implants preserve jawbone structure and provide durable, natural-feeling replacements for improved confidence.

Specialized root canal procedures treat infected tooth pulp. Using modern techniques, we remove infection while preserving natural teeth. This treatment alleviates pain and prevents extraction, maintaining your natural smile.

Report
It's been over 3.5yrs since I saw a dentist last & before that over 10yrs. Childhood trauma prevented me from ever going to another dentist ever again. But I had a 45yr old filling fall out & within days a major infection. I wasn't going back to the last dental clinic so I took a chance on River Dental. The front staff are amazing. Friendly & extremely helpful.
Dr. Leeann(Wasylyshen) made my first visit more calming than I could have prayed for.
Sarah was also a great calming voice as she did the x-rays. Dr. LeAnn recommended I go see Dr. Gallimore for the extraction. I took her advice & last

Either a big ticket procedure or a 100$ handshake. If you only want a filling instead of crown or a root canal you should probably just find someone else.

Always very knowledgeable. They always go the extra mile to answer any of my questions and make me feel comfortable with them. I have spent a lot of time here in the past due to losing a tooth and I can honestly say I won't go elsewhere.

At reception she was quite professional. My hygienist was warm and friendly and chatted with me to ensure I'm comfortable. The environment was clean and organized. I'd definitely recommend and we'll certainly return.

Ten plus years of excellent dental care, professionalism, friendliness, and esp now ~ cleanliness in times of Covid. I've never been happier with a dental service. Thankyou !
