Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium screw placement that fuses with jawbone tissue. Our team offers comprehensive implant services including surgical placement and crown restoration. Patients benefit from improved chewing function, facial structure preservation, and natural-looking results that last decades with proper care.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using custom-made, removable clear aligners that gradually shift teeth into proper position. We provide personalized treatment plans for adults and teens seeking discreet orthodontic solutions. Benefits include improved bite alignment, enhanced smile aesthetics, and removable trays for easy eating and cleaning.
CEREC Restorations
CEREC technology enables single-visit dental restorations using precision 3D imaging and milling machines. We create durable ceramic crowns, veneers, and inlays during one appointment. This eliminates multiple visits while maintaining natural tooth structure and providing immediate functional improvements.
Preventive Hygiene
Our preventive care includes regular exams, professional cleanings, and early detection of oral health issues. We emphasize patient education about proper brushing techniques and home care routines. Regular maintenance helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and costly dental emergencies.
Children's Dentistry
We specialize in creating positive dental experiences for children through gentle treatments and age-appropriate education. Services include routine checkups, fluoride treatments, and early orthodontic assessments. Our team focuses on establishing lifelong oral health habits in a welcoming environment.

Dr. Wotton was my family dentist for years until I had to move away.. He was always very caring and pleasant to deal with along with the rest of the staff. Dr. Wotton clearly cares about his patients well being, there is nobody else I could possibly recommend more. if you're in the Antigonish area, go see the Wottons! true family dentistry, now offering pain free fillings!!! how can you lose?!
