Dentist Services at our Burlington Dental Office

We encourage you to have a look at any specific services you may be interested in. Here are some of the top requested services and please inquire if you need anything additional.

Mature patients 65+ require a different approach when it comes to their smile. Not just from what the patient wants, but the changing oral health care needs over the years. We now accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan for Seniors (CDCP).

From dental exams, checkups to teeth cleanings and scheduling, patients with kids require a more gentle approach to dentistry. Due to children’s sensitivity and ever changing body and teeth, we make sure they are properly cared for during these times and to accommodate any dental anxiety.

When you have an emergency, such as toothaches, jaw pain, knocked out tooth, broken tooth, swollen gums, decay, bleeding gums and so on, you want an emergency dentist in Burlington you can trust, that will listen to your concerns and that you can book with in a reasonable timeframe. Walk-ins accepted.

Traditionally for adults that want to straighten their teeth with clear orthodontics, aligner technology has progressed to provide some corrective and functional support for children ages 9 and up.

Did you know that jaw tension, headaches and general TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) pain can be treated with Botox?

Did you know that you can walk into a treatment and get a long lasting, durable natural looking tooth crown while you wait.

Can't say enough good things about Dr. Emma and her team. The whole team is super friendly and really good with kids — they explain things in a fun, easy way so nobody's scared which is a big deal for our anxious kids. If you're looking for a family dentist who actually cares, this is it!

I was visiting Hamilton and had a dental emergency. This is the practice my friend loves and they saw me right away. I ended up needing an extraction and Dr. D’Souza and her hygienist, Mark, took such good care of me. They were so encouraging, professional, and kind. I especially liked how clearly they explained what they were doing and gave me directions for after care. It was a challenging procedure and Dr. D’Souza was very skilled and supportive! I was lucky to be in her care!

Complete series of eras to check all my teeth, done carefully and respectfully by Mark. The receptionist was able to decifer how to send in my bill to my new insurance company with no problem.

Our 86-year-old mother had a dental emergency and required two tooth extractions. We called Burlington Family Dental Centre, and from the very first phone call we knew we were in good hands. Jayati, the administrator, was absolutely wonderful. She immediately made us feel that my mom would receive great care and attention. She gathered all the necessary information ahead of time, so when we arrived an hour later everything was already prepared for us, including estimates and paperwork. She was incredibly kind, patient, helpful, and compassionate with both our mom and us. Then we met Mark, the dental assistant, who was exceptionally attentive, caring, and professional. He thoroughly explained the procedure, detailed all aftercare instructions, prepared an aftercare package, and made my mom feel calm, comfortable, and reassured throughout the entire visit. Dr. Chen was outstanding. She carefully explained all available options and helped us make a truly informed decision. The extractions were performed quickly, smoothly, and very professionally. My mom didn't experience any discomfort during the procedure, which was such a relief for all of us. Our overall experience was amazing. It was an incredible relief to find such a compassionate and professional team who were able to help our elderly mother so promptly during an urgent situation. We are deeply grateful and highly recommend Burlington Family Dental Centre to anyone needing immediate dental care. Truly a 5-star experience!

Patient Focused Dentists

The best oral health teams are the ones that listen to the patient’s needs, desires and anxieties first. Our dentists in Burlington focus on long term relationships with patients and the highest quality oral health standards. We want you to have teeth you are proud of so you can smile with confidence.

What is the best way of finding a good dentist near me?

If you want to find a good dentist near you, then consider the following things: 1. Do they have good reviews from a variety of long term patients? 2. Do they listen to your concerns when you tell them what you want? 3. Do they work with you to solve your health and financial challenges? 4. Do they explain to you the treatment and walk you through what will be done? 5. Do they care about you as a person, or are you seen as just a number?

How much does it cost to check your teeth?

If you do not have insurance, then you might want to know how much it could cost for a regular visit. A full cleaning, with exam and X-rays may cost between $291 (2 units of cleaning and some polishing) and $412 (if there is more plaque than expected). For most people, they wouldn’t have a full exam and x-rays every 6 months unless there is a medical reason. A typical teeth cleaning visit might cost $162 to $197. If you go every 6 months, it could be an average cost of $453 to $609 per year .  If you work it out per month, that’s just $37.75 to $51 a month.

The above are just estimates based on some average numbers. The overall cost you incur depends on various things such as how long since you visited, how much care you take of your teeth at home, exactly how much plaque is on your teeth and so on.  Ask for a breakdown so you can see for yourself!

What is soft tissue management vs. regular dental cleaning?

Periodontal disease or advanced gum disease affects 75% of adults. The bacteria that causes this gum disease can migrate to other parts of the body and can be associated with heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

Our practice will refer to the timely diagnosis and treatment of the signs and symptoms of periodontal disease as Soft Tissue Management for those with lots of tarter build up and gum disease. 

Come in and have your teeth and gum health assessed to prevent future health complications.
