Oral Exams
A thorough oral exam is the foundation of every healthy smile. At Allard Station Dental, we recommend a comprehensive exam every six months to catch tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer at their earliest, most treatable stages.
Our exam includes a visual inspection of every tooth, gum-pocket measurements, a bite assessment, and digital X-rays when needed — all explained to you in plain English so you know exactly what's happening in your mouth.
- Complete head, neck, and oral cancer screening
- Gum-health and bone-level evaluation
- Digital X-rays with up to 90% less radiation than film
- Personalized written treatment plan with cost estimate
Dental Cleanings
We at Allard Station Dental highly suggest patients have a routine dental cleaning every six months — or as recommended by our dentists. While brushing and flossing at home keeps everyday plaque in check, a professional cleaning removes the hardened tartar buildup that no toothbrush can reach.
Beyond a polished smile, regular cleanings let our hygienists check for early signs of periodontal disease, oral cancer, and cavities — so small issues stay small.
- Ultrasonic scaling for stubborn tartar
- Hand-scaling along the gum line for sensitive areas
- Stain-removing polish and full-mouth fluoride treatment
- Personalized at-home brushing & flossing coaching
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy gets a bad rap — but in modern dentistry, it's a comfortable procedure that saves teeth that would otherwise need extraction. When the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected (often from deep decay or a crack), a root canal removes the infection and seals the tooth so you can keep biting and chewing for years to come.
Most of our patients tell us a root canal felt no different than a routine filling — and the relief from pain is immediate.
- Modern rotary instruments for faster, gentler treatment
- Effective local anesthesia plus optional laughing gas
- Same-day follow-up crown often available
- Saves your natural tooth — no implant or bridge required
Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Cavities used to mean a noticeable silver patch in your smile. Today, we use composite (tooth-coloured) resin that blends seamlessly with your natural enamel — so once the filling is placed, even you'll have trouble spotting it.
Composite fillings also bond directly to the tooth, which means we can remove less healthy structure than with old-style amalgam fillings. Stronger tooth, prettier smile, no metal.
- Mercury-free composite resin
- Direct bonding preserves more natural tooth
- Custom-shaded to match your enamel
- Most fillings completed in a single visit
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer is highly treatable when caught early — and a 90-second screening at every checkup is one of the most powerful preventive tools we offer. We visually examine the tongue, cheeks, palate, gums, and throat, and gently feel for any unusual tissue or swelling.
Early-stage oral cancers are often painless and easy to miss in a mirror at home, which is why this routine screening — included with every exam at no extra charge — matters.
- Included with every routine exam
- Visual + tactile examination of all soft tissues
- Risk-factor review (tobacco, alcohol, family history)
- Immediate referral pathway if anything looks suspicious
Wisdom Tooth Extraction & Oral Surgery
Most of us simply don't have room for our wisdom teeth — and when they emerge crooked or stay impacted, they can cause pain, infection, and crowd the rest of your smile. We perform wisdom-tooth removal and other minor oral surgery procedures right here in the office, so you don't need a referral to a separate oral surgeon for most cases.
Sedation options are available so you can stay completely relaxed throughout the appointment, and our team will guide you through aftercare so healing is fast and predictable.
- Single-visit removal of all four wisdom teeth available
- Laughing gas and oral sedation options
- 3D imaging when needed for impacted teeth
- Detailed at-home recovery plan and 24-hour callback
