Question 1

Routine Oral Health Exams and Cleanings

Accepted Answer

Regular dental visits are the foundation of lifelong oral health. We recommend most patients come in every six months for a checkup and cleaning. These visits allow us to monitor your teeth and gums, catch small concerns before they become bigger problems, and give your mouth a professional cleaning that goes beyond what you can do at home.

During an exam, our dentists check for cavities, gum disease, bite alignment, and other issues that may not show symptoms early on. With digital imaging, we can show you exactly what we see and explain your options clearly. Cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish your teeth for a fresh finish, and leave you with healthier gums and fresher breath.

Who it helps:
 • Children developing healthy habits early
 • Adults preventing cavities or gum disease
 • Seniors protecting teeth and gums as needs change

Benefits:
 • Early detection of problems
 • Fresher breath and cleaner teeth
 • Stronger foundation for lifelong oral health

Routine visits at Evergreen Family Dentistry give you the reassurance of knowing your oral health is on track and well cared for in Spruce Grove.

Question 2

Comprehensive Exams

Accepted Answer

A comprehensive exam gives us a complete picture of your oral health. These visits go beyond routine checkups and include a detailed look at your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw. They are especially valuable for new patients or when planning more complex treatments.

We take the time to review your medical history, listen to your concerns, and provide a clear explanation of our findings. With this information, we create a personalized treatment plan that supports your oral health today and into the future.

Who it helps:
 • New patients joining Evergreen Family Dentistry
 • Patients with multiple dental concerns
 • Individuals planning restorative or cosmetic care

Benefits:
 • Thorough understanding of your oral health
 • Customized treatment planning
 • Confidence in moving forward with care

A comprehensive exam ensures you have a clear plan for your dental health, guided by a team you can trust in Spruce Grove.

Question 3

Fillings

Accepted Answer

Cavities are one of the most common dental concerns, and when caught early, they can be treated quickly and comfortably with a filling. At Evergreen Family Dentistry in Spruce Grove, we use tooth-coloured filling materials that blend naturally with your smile, so your restoration looks and feels like part of your own tooth.

A filling works by removing the decayed portion of a tooth and sealing it with a durable material that restores strength and prevents further damage. This not only relieves sensitivity but also protects the tooth from future decay.

Who it helps:
 • Patients of all ages with small to moderate cavities
 • Anyone with worn or chipped enamel that needs repair

Benefits of tooth-coloured fillings:
 • Natural-looking results that match your teeth
 • Long-lasting durability and protection
 • Preserves more of your natural tooth compared to older silver fillings

If it’s been a while since your last checkup, a routine exam is the best way to catch cavities before they become bigger problems. Our Spruce Grove team is here to provide fillings that are comfortable, effective, and designed to last.

Question 4

Root Canal Therapy

Accepted Answer

When decay or infection reaches the inner layer of a tooth, it can cause pain, swelling, or sensitivity. Root canal therapy allows us to clean out the infection, preserve the tooth, and restore it with a crown if needed.

Despite its reputation, modern root canal therapy is often no more uncomfortable than a filling. Our Spruce Grove team focuses on gentle techniques, clear communication, and comfort options to make the experience stress-free.

Who it helps:
 • Patients with tooth pain or infection
 • Individuals with deep decay or cracks
 • Those wanting to save a natural tooth

Benefits:
 • Relieves pain and discomfort
 • Saves teeth from extraction
 • Restores full function and appearance

Root canal therapy at Evergreen Family Dentistry helps you return to comfort while protecting your natural smile for the future.

Question 5

Dental Bridges

Accepted Answer

Missing teeth can affect how you chew, speak, and smile. A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. Anchored to neighbouring teeth or implants, a bridge is custom-made to look and feel like your natural teeth.

Bridges not only improve appearance but also prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place, protecting your bite and overall oral health.

Who it helps:
 • Patients missing one or more teeth in a row
 • Individuals wanting a fixed, non-removable solution
 • Those seeking a natural-looking alternative to dentures

Benefits:
 • Restores ability to chew and speak clearly
 • Prevents shifting of surrounding teeth
 • Blends seamlessly with your smile

A custom bridge from Evergreen Family Dentistry restores your smile’s function and appearance, helping you feel more confident day to day.

Question 6

Dental Implants

Accepted Answer

Dental implants are a durable and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. They restore both appearance and function by anchoring securely to the jawbone — allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

At Evergreen Family Dental, we offer a range of implant options designed to meet your unique needs:

Single Dental Implants
 A reliable solution for one missing tooth. Each implant is topped with a custom crown that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth.

Immediate Implants (Same-Day Placement)
 In some cases, an implant can be placed immediately after an extraction — reducing the number of visits and helping maintain bone and gum health.

Implant-Retained Dentures
 For patients who wear dentures, implants can improve comfort and stability. A few secure anchors hold your denture firmly in place, preventing slipping while you eat or speak.

Fixed Implant Dentures (All-on-4 / All-on-6)
 A permanent, full-arch solution for patients missing multiple teeth. Fixed implant dentures provide a secure, natural-looking restoration that stays in place — no removal required.

Each treatment plan is designed around your goals for comfort, function, and aesthetics — helping you enjoy a healthy, confident smile that lasts.

Question 7

Orthodontics (Invisalign)

Accepted Answer

Straightening your teeth doesn’t have to mean metal brackets or wires. With Invisalign® clear aligners, you can achieve a beautifully aligned smile through a series of removable, nearly invisible trays designed just for you. Each aligner gently shifts your teeth into place, giving you effective results with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Who it helps
 Invisalign® can treat a wide range of alignment concerns, from crowding and spacing to overbites, underbites, and crossbites. It’s an excellent option for both teens and adults who want a more discreet, flexible way to improve their smile without traditional braces.

Benefits
 • Comfortable and removable for easy cleaning and eating
 • Virtually invisible design for a more natural look
 • Fewer in-office appointments compared to traditional braces
 • Helps improve oral hygiene and overall confidence

Whether you’re considering early orthodontic treatment for your child or exploring Invisalign® for yourself, our team will create a personalized plan to guide you toward a healthy, confident smile.

Question 8

Extractions

Accepted Answer

While we aim to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, there are times when an extraction is the healthiest option. This may be due to severe decay, infection, trauma, or overcrowding.

Our dentists in Spruce Grove perform extractions with care and comfort in mind. After removal, we’ll provide aftercare instructions and discuss replacement options such as implants, bridges, or dentures to restore your smile and protect long-term health.

Who it helps:
 • Patients with teeth that cannot be saved
 • Individuals with overcrowding or spacing issues
 • Those experiencing pain from damage or infection

Benefits:
 • Relief from pain or infection
 • Protection for surrounding teeth
 • Clear path forward for tooth replacement

At Evergreen Family Dentistry, extractions are carried out with compassion and a focus on long-term solutions, so your smile stays healthy well into the future.

Question 9

Sedation Options

Accepted Answer

For many people, dental visits can feel stressful. At Evergreen Family Dentistry, we understand that anxiety is common, and we’re here to make your experience as comfortable as possible. That’s why we provide sedation options to help you feel more relaxed during treatment.

Sedation dentistry is especially helpful for patients with dental anxiety, children who are nervous about care, or those undergoing longer procedures. Our team will walk you through the options available and recommend what’s most appropriate for your needs.

Benefits of sedation in dentistry:
 • Reduces feelings of stress or anxiety
 • Makes longer appointments easier to manage
 • Creates a calmer, more positive dental experience

If you’ve been putting off dental care due to fear or worry, sedation at Evergreen Family Dentistry may be the support you need to feel confident about your treatment.
