Chinook Mall Family Dental Clinic

Tooth extraction is offered for reasons such as trauma, crowding, or pain. The procedure may involve local or general anesthetic, and the dentist may open the gum tissue, remove bone covering the tooth, and sometimes cut the tooth into pieces for easier removal.

Wisdom teeth that cause discomfort, crowding, or pain can be addressed. The clinic performs oral surgery in the office under anesthesia, with local anesthetic always used and optional IV sedation for additional comfort.

A bridge is attached to two teeth on each side of a missing tooth space, with an artificial tooth in the middle. It can be permanent or removable, and helps prevent biting and chewing problems, gum disease, and tooth decay.

Oral sedation in pill format is offered to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is painless and does not involve injections.

Professional teeth cleaning provides cosmetic benefits and early diagnosis of oral health problems. The clinic recommends brushing twice daily, flossing daily, and regular visits for cleanings and exams.
