Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium posts fused with jawbone tissue. Our dentists use 3D imaging for precise placement, ensuring natural-looking results that restore chewing function and facial structure. Patients benefit from improved speech, comfort, and long-term oral health through this durable alternative to dentures or bridges.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using custom-made, removable clear aligners that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. Our practice utilizes iTero Element Scanners for digital impressions, eliminating traditional molds. Patients appreciate the discreet appearance and convenience of removable trays for eating and cleaning, with treatment typically completed in 6-18 months.
Root Canals
Root canal therapy removes infected dental pulp from inside teeth to relieve pain and save natural tooth structure. Our dentists use advanced techniques to clean and seal root canals, followed by protective crowns for back teeth. With over 90% success rates, this procedure preserves teeth for decades when properly maintained through regular dental checkups.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells bonded to teeth for cosmetic improvements in shape, color, and alignment. Custom-crafted to match natural teeth, these stain-resistant restorations address chips, gaps, and discoloration. The minimally invasive procedure typically requires two visits, providing immediate smile transformation with 10-15 year durability.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting procedures treat receding gums by transplanting tissue to protect exposed tooth roots. We offer connective-tissue, free gingival, and pedicle graft options to reduce sensitivity and prevent further recession. The treatment improves both oral health by preventing bone loss and aesthetic concerns through enhanced gumline symmetry.

Questions
What dental services are available for emergency situations?
We provide same-day emergency appointments for dental trauma, severe pain, or infections. Our team handles extractions, root canals, and temporary restorations to alleviate urgent oral health issues.
How does Invisalign treatment compare to traditional braces?
Invisalign offers removable clear aligners for discreet tooth straightening, while traditional braces use fixed metal brackets. Both achieve similar results, but Invisalign allows easier oral hygiene maintenance during treatment.
What payment options does Chancellor Dental accept?
We accept major credit cards, debit payments, and direct insurance billing. Financing options are available for extensive treatments through third-party healthcare lenders.
Are dental implants suitable for all patients?
Implant candidacy depends on sufficient jawbone density and overall health. Our dentists evaluate each case individually, sometimes recommending bone grafting procedures to support successful implant placement.
How can I schedule a dental appointment?
Book appointments through our website, by phone at 204-727-5885, or via our online request form. New patients receive comprehensive consultations for personalized treatment planning.
What preventative care services do you offer?
We provide bi-annual cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and oral cancer screenings. Our hygienists educate patients on proper home care techniques to maintain optimal oral health between visits.

Dr. Norrie preformed my two teeth extraction with ease, and without any pain.
Im pleased with his knowledge and expertise. I highly recommend him for any dental work. After my gums have healed from the teeth extraction, he and his associates will be installing implants.
Looking forward to having a great smile again.

Office staff called and asked if I could come in a little earlier than scheduled. Worked out great, no wait in waiting room. Dr. Bonar and his assistant were awesome, never felt a thing throughout the procedure. Had an issue with electronical submission. The office staff patiently worked with my insurance provider and all was resolved. Highly recommend Chancellor dental group.
