Dental Implants in Richmond
Seacoast Dental Centre provides dental implant treatment supported by an in-house 3D CT scanner for precise diagnostic imaging and treatment planning. The CT scanner allows Dr. Cadigan to assess bone density, dimensions, and anatomical structures in three dimensions before placing an implant — improving accuracy and reducing the risk of complications compared to planning based on conventional two-dimensional X-rays alone. Implant services at the clinic address single-tooth replacement, multiple missing teeth via implant-supported bridges, and full arch cases.
Root Canal Treatment in Richmond
Root canal therapy at Seacoast Dental Centre removes infected pulp tissue from within the tooth to relieve severe dental pain and save the natural tooth from extraction. Dr. Cadigan's role as a clinical instructor at UBC's dental faculty reflects a high standard of technical expertise that directly benefits patients undergoing endodontic treatment. Following canal cleaning and sealing, the tooth is typically restored with a crown to ensure long-term structural integrity.
Sedation Dentistry in Richmond
Conscious sedation is available at Seacoast Dental Centre for patients who experience dental anxiety or who prefer a more relaxed experience during treatment. The clinic takes a patient-first approach to dental care, offering treatment options that ensure comfort at every visit. Sedation is appropriate for a range of procedures and is always discussed and planned in advance as part of a thorough pre-treatment consultation.
Teeth Whitening in Richmond
Professional teeth whitening at Seacoast Dental Centre lifts stains and brightens the smile using clinically proven whitening products applied under professional supervision. Dr. Cadigan and the team assess each patient's enamel health and existing restorations before recommending a whitening protocol, ensuring that results are both effective and safe. Whitening is available as a standalone treatment or as part of a broader cosmetic improvement plan that may include veneers, bonding, or Invisalign.
Veneers in Richmond
Porcelain veneers at Seacoast Dental Centre are precision-crafted thin shells bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to correct chips, discolouration, gaps, and irregular sizing. Dr. Cadigan's approach to veneer treatment is rooted in listening to patient concerns and ensuring each treatment plan genuinely reflects the individual's aesthetic goals. The 3D CT imaging capability at the clinic supports detailed diagnostic assessment that informs cosmetic treatment planning alongside more complex restorative and surgical cases.
Laser Dentistry in Richmond
Seacoast Dental Centre offers laser dentistry as part of its comprehensive service menu. Dental lasers allow for minimally invasive treatment of soft tissue conditions including gum reshaping, frenectomy, and the treatment of gum disease, with less discomfort and faster healing compared to conventional surgical techniques. Laser technology is also used for certain hard tissue applications and for enhancing patient comfort during treatment.
TMJ/TMD Treatment in Richmond
TMJ dysfunction causes jaw pain, headaches, clicking of the jaw joint, and difficulty chewing — all of which significantly affect quality of life. Seacoast Dental Centre assesses and treats TMJ-related conditions with a thorough diagnostic approach that considers bite alignment, muscle tension, and joint health. Treatment may involve custom occlusal appliances, bite adjustment, or other targeted interventions to reduce pain and restore normal jaw function.
Inlays & Onlays in Richmond
Inlays and onlays at Seacoast Dental Centre provide a conservative restorative solution for teeth with decay or damage that is too extensive for a conventional filling but does not yet require a full crown. These precision-fabricated indirect restorations — made from porcelain or composite material — are bonded into or over the affected tooth, preserving more healthy tooth structure than a crown while providing superior strength and durability compared to a large direct filling.
