Comprehensive, Preventive Dentistry
At Wren Street Dental, we offer numerous general dentistry services for the whole family, including:
Dental Exams and Cleanings
The Canadian Dental Association (CDA) recommends visiting a qualified general dentist yearly for routine dental exams and cleanings. These appointments help you keep your smile healthy and functional all year round by:
- Removing tooth-destroying plaque from the teeth and around the gumline
- Reviewing digital x-ray images to verify the health of underlying oral structures
- Conducting oral cancer screenings for early detection and treatment
- Applying tooth-saving fluoride and sealants for long-lasting cavity protection
Not only do routine dental exams and cleanings keep your smile looking its best, but they are also your frontline defense against cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
Oral Cancer Screenings
This year alone, experts estimate that roughly 5,400 Canadians will be diagnosed with oral cancer. Of those, an estimated 1,500 will not survive the disease. That’s why we offer fast and accurate oral cancer screenings at Wren Street Dental.
Dr. Shergill recommends getting oral cancer screenings every three years for patients under the age of 40. After 40, we encourage patients to get yearly screenings, as the risk of developing oral cancer increases with age.
Bruxism Treatment
Bruxism is the medical term for unconsciously grinding and clenching the teeth. Typically, bruxism occurs while patients are sleeping. It is for this reason that the damaging effects of bruxism largely go unnoticed by patients until they visit our dentist in Mission, BC.
A routine dental exam with Dr. Shergill can easily reveal the telltale signs of bruxism. And once diagnosed, then we can help you get lasting relief with orthodontic treatments and personalized night guards.
Sedation Dentistry in Mission, BC
Do you suffer from dental anxiety? Also known as odontophobia or fear of the dentist, dental anxiety can make it more challenging to get the dental care you deserve. Luckily, our compassionate dentist in Mission, BC, offers safe and effective sedation dentistry so that you can comfortably enhance or restore your smile.
No matter the procedure, we encourage patients to ask us how we can make treatments more comfortable for them. With options like oral conscious sedation, we have ways to make dental work as pain-free and beneficial as possible.
