Their FAQ

Answers from their website.

How does dental bonding work in Vancouver?

Dental bonding in Vancouver treatments use tooth-colored resin to repair chips, gaps, and minor cracks, restoring your smile in just one visit. Our clinic near Granville Island offers personalized, compassionate dental care from Monday to Friday, 9 am–5 pm. Learn more about this cosmetic treatment and its benefits through our Bonding page!

How long does dental bonding last?

Dental bonding in Vancouver usually lasts three to ten years with proper brushing, flossing, and regular checkups. Longevity depends on lifestyle habits and care routines. To extend your results and book a thorough dental checkup or cleaning, schedule a visit by calling (604) 260-1571!

Is IV sedation dentistry safe?

Yes, IV sedation dentistry is designed to be a trusted sedation solution when performed by licensed dental professionals. Our general dentists monitor you closely throughout the procedure to ensure relaxation. Many patients choose IV sedation for anxiety relief during longer treatments. Learn more about it through our IV Sedation page!

How should I prepare for sedation dentistry in Vancouver?

Before your IV sedation in Vancouver appointment, avoid eating for six hours and arrange transportation afterward with a trusted friend or family member. Our team reviews your medical history and aims to ensure all relaxation measures are in place. Located in central Vancouver, we’re open weekdays from 9 am–5 pm. Call (604) 260-1571 with preparation questions!

Does insurance cover dental bonding?
