Thunderbird Dental Group Langley

General Dentistry

Excellent oral health is a key factor to your overall health and appearance, and the best dental medicine is consistent home care supported by regular thorough professional hygiene treatment.

We offer the following general dentistry services:

General Dentistry Walnut Grove

Dental Hygiene

Excellent oral health is a key factor to your overall health and appearance, and the best dental medicine is consistent home care supported by regular thorough professional hygiene treatment.

Hygiene treatment by our professional experts helps to improve the health of your gums by removing plaque and tartar from your teeth.  Left unattended, tartar build-up can lead to gum disease – which can cause early tooth loss and infections.  And the bacteria associated with gum disease are also linked to heart attacks, strokes, and other serious health problems.

Oral Cancer Screening

Taking care of your oral health also means assessing your mouth for any abnormalities in your gums and soft tissue.

We use the revolutionary Velscope system – it shines a painless blue light in the mouth that allows our dental experts to more effectively scan for lesions that are the early signs of oral cancer.  If a lesion is found it is photographed under the blue light, measured, and followed up to make sure it is not serious.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a procedure that provides sizeable value for investment when restoring a youthful and vigorous appearance.

For rapid results, we use the professional quality Zoom® Teeth Whitening system, which uses a bleaching gel and a dental laser to brighten your smile up to 8 shades in one appointment (of about an hour).

Alternatively, by using our professional take-home whitening kits, you can whiten teeth up to 6 shades over the course of several days.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-Rays help us respond to your dental health needs more quickly and accurately. They create easily accessible insight by letting us quickly create and view current and historical images of suspect areas.  In addition, Digital X-Rays use up to 90% less radiation when compared to film-based traditional x-ray technology and do not require environmentally unfriendly film processing.

Cosmetic Dentistry Walnut Grove

Cosmetic Dentistry

At Thunderbird Dental Group, we help patients in Langley achieve the attractive, confident smile they’ve always wanted.

We offer the following cosmetic dentistry services:

Veneers

Ultrathin porcelain veneers are a simple but effective solution for enhancing your smile.  They can be used to permanently whiten teeth, straighten crooked teeth, improve the shape of teeth, repair damaged teeth, or resurface previous porcelain crowns or bridges.

Because veneers are so durable and thin, your existing teeth may need little or no modification before the veneers can be applied.  This may mean no local anaesthesia and no pain during or after treatment.

Veneers are also a relatively rapid esthetic solution – often they can be prepared and seated in just a few appointments!

Restorative Dentistry

Our compassionate and gentle dentists relieve the suffering caused by a damaged tooth or bite dysfunction. If you have a dental emergency, we can quickly stabilize the damage so that you can be in comfort while we create a plan to restore your former functionality.

We offer the following restorative dentistry services:

  • Bonding
  • Dental Bridges
  • Dental Crowns
  • Dental Implants
  • Fillings
  • Inlays and Onlays
Restorative Dentistry Walnut Grove
Invisalign Walnut Grove

Invisalign® Treatment

Invisalign is the clear, modern solution to achieving the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted, at any age.

Whether you have an overbite, underbite, crossbite, widely spaced or crooked teeth, Invisalign invisible braces can help.  Impressions of your teeth are converted into a 3-D digital image so that our dental experts can accurately and effectively design your new smile with computer software.  We will then provide you with a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your smile without the inconvenience of metal braces or the social issues associated with “metal mouth”.

This “lifestyle friendly” solution is a very effective way to improve your smile and your bite.

Guards & Appliances

We offer the following guards and appliances:

  • Night Guards
  • Retainers
  • Sports Mouth Guards
Retainers Walnut Grove
Sedation Dentistry Walnut Grove

Sedation Dentistry

Sedation Dentistry is an excellent option for patients that are anxious, sensitive, or requiring the convenience of extended appointments.

With Sedation Dentistry, your dental treatment can be done quickly with little or no discomfort.  You’ll be sedated just enough to be unaware of the treatment as if you were relaxing. When finished, you will feel refreshed with little or no memory of what was accomplished.

We offer the following sedation dentistry services:

  • Oral Sedation
  • Nitrous Oxide Sedation

VELscope Oral Cancer Screening

Oral Cancer can be a potentially deadly type of cancer but if detected early, the survival rate for patients with oral cancer is 83%.

Late detection of oral cancer, however, gives patients only a 32% chance of survival.

What is the VELscope System?

The VELscope is a safe and revolutionary handheld device that shines a blue light and highlights abnormal oral tissue and lesions that could indicate oral cancer. VELscope doesn’t use any dyes or rinses and is completely non-invasive and pain-free.

How Long Does an Exam Last?

A VELscope exam will typically take no more than 5 minutes and has no side effects. In this short time, your oral health care professional can investigate any abnormal oral tissue and help prevent not just oral cancer but fungal infections and bacterial growth.

Book Your VELscope Appointment

Early detection is Key in the fight against oral cancer so contact our friendly dental staff and book your VELscope appointment for your peace of mind and excellent oral health. Please feel free to ask us any questions about VELscope, online or on the phone.
