Chinook Dental Centre

Oral surgery for tooth extractions and surgical treatment of jaw bone problems. They offer extractions of all types, from simple to complex including wisdom teeth. For complex extractions or apprehensive patients, general anesthesia is available.

Dr. Mathew offers orthodontic treatment to correct simple to moderate crowding with clear (practically invisible) aligners.

When a tooth is compromised by decay, the decayed structure is removed and a filling restores the tooth. They offer composite, amalgam, gold, and porcelain onlays/inlays, with details on each type's benefits and drawbacks.

The dentist and hygienists examine gums and determine the appropriate level of cleaning. Patients who haven't had a cleaning in years may require a deeper cleaning, sometimes with local anesthetic. Optional fluoride treatment is provided, which is important as Calgary stopped adding fluoride to tap water in 2011.

For all new patients, a thorough examination is performed including digital x-rays and intra oral cameras. The x-rays help see inside jawbones and teeth, and intra oral cameras display teeth and gums on a large screen for better understanding of treatment options. Patients with specific concerns can have an examination of that area only.
