Services
CEREC Restorations
CEREC technology creates precise porcelain restorations in a single appointment. This eliminates traditional impressions and multiple visits while maintaining natural tooth aesthetics. Ideal for damaged or decayed teeth requiring durable, esthetically pleasing solutions.
Sedation Dentistry
Intravenous conscious sedation helps anxious patients receive necessary treatments comfortably. Administered by specially trained dentists, this service ensures relaxed experiences while maintaining safety protocols. Particularly beneficial for complex procedures or dental phobia sufferers.
Dental Implants
Titanium root replacements integrate with jawbone tissue to support permanent prosthetics. This solution prevents bone loss while offering stability superior to traditional dentures. Our team guides patients through every stage from initial placement to final restoration.
Orthodontic Treatment
Modern orthodontic solutions straighten teeth and improve bite alignment. We offer traditional braces and contemporary alternatives for children, teens, and adults seeking enhanced dental function and confidence-boosting smiles.
Preventative Care
Regular cleanings and examinations detect early decay or gum disease. Our hygienists provide personalized oral hygiene education alongside professional treatments. This proactive approach prevents costly dental issues while maintaining optimal oral health.

So happy I started seeing Dr. Macisaac at Community Dental. He is an amazing dentist and has helped improve my quality of life by fixing my significantly grinded down teeth so I can eat and drink normal things again. His team is also amazing, they are efficient and love to help any way they can. I can't recommend this place enough.

Report
My husband went in a few years ago for a cleaning. For some reason, they thought it would be a good idea to remove the glue from his space maintainer. It then caused it to snap, causing cuts in his mouth. Due to being over 18, we couldn't get insurance to cover the removal at a proper dentist's office. Not impressed.
