We Would NEVER Do This!

At Acreview Dental Clinic, we truly care about your dental health - and we care about ours too! We would like to share with you seven things we would never do when it comes to our teeth and gums...

Use our teeth to open a bottle cap, tear a piece of fabric, or for any other non-dental use.

• Teeth have many functions, including biting and chewing food, smiling, aiding in proper speech, and more. Using them for things other than these can result in injury that can be difficult and expensive to repair!

Ignore any kind of dental pain or swelling.

• When your body is trying to tell you something, it is important to listen! While dental pain or swelling does sometimes temporarily go away, that doesn't mean the underlying problem has resolved. Treating problems early is always the best solution.

Think that bleeding gums are "normal".

• If blood were coming out of the ear (or any other body part) most people would be concerned. For some reason, many people think that bleeding gums are normal. they aren't! Gums that bleed are usually sensitive or swollen, indicating that there is an underlying infection which could lead to tooth loss. Remember - visiting us for regular hygiene visits will aid in early detection of any gum or tooth problems.

Eat something and then go to bed without brushing.

• The flow of saliva decreases during sleep, and yucky morning breath isn't the only problem it causes! Night time is the right time for sugars, bacteria and food debris to wreak havoc on your pearly whites. Always make sure to give your teeth a thorough brushing before going to bed.

Play any kind of sport without a mouthguard.

• It is estimated that up to 40% of dental injuries occur while playing sports, most of them involving the front teeth. Practically all of these can be prevented by simply wearing a mouthguard. It is an inexpensive and easy procedure (as compared to the over $500 million spent each year repairing dental sports injuries!).

Make dental care decisions based solely on dental benefit coverage.

• While dental benefits can be a great help in offsetting some of your dental costs, coverage does not indicate which treatment is best for you. At Acreview Dental Clinic, we will work with you to maximize your benefit coverage, make suitable financial arrangements, AND provide the best treatment possible! It is our goal to perform the highest quality dentistry in an affordable manner.

Go a day without smiling!

• Smiling benefits your mood, boosts your immune system, makes you look younger, relieves stress, and is contagious. Why would we go a day without it?!

We are here for you at Acreview Dental Clinc. If you would like to discuss any of these points or are in need of a recare examination, hygiene visit or consultation, please give us a call today at 250-338-9085.

Will It Hurt and How Much Will It Cost?

At Acreview Dental Clinic we are asked all types of questions.  The ones most frequently asked are:

"Will it hurt?"

... and ...

"How much will it cost?"

The great news is that the answers to both of these questions will make you very happy!

 

Will it hurt?  

Unlike the old days, modern dental care is easy, quick and typically pain-free.

Current dental anesthetics are extremely effective and do an excellent job of thoroughly "numbing" the area which we will be treating. At our practice, we take extra care to make sure that you are comfortably numb before starting any procedure.

If at any time you are feeling any discomfort, please let us know so that we may stop whatever we are doing and make sure that you are having the best dental experience possible.  We firmly believe that everything we do for our patients should create a positive experience. Our advanced training and caring attitude can help to make that happen for you. 

With today's technology, dental appointments should be totally stress-free!

 

How much will it cost?

There is no question about it, quality health care can be a sizable investment.  However, there is no better investment than your own health and this is not an area to be "penny wise and pound foolish."

Whether you are seeing us for a routine "check-up and cleaning" or an entire smile makeover, we want to make sure that you are comfortable with the financial aspect of dentistry.

Even though we use the highest quality materials and the most advanced techniques, at Acreview Dental Clinic we are dedicated to keeping our fees reasonable.

Our talented and caring business team will be glad to discuss the best financial options for you and help you to obtain an optimum level of dental health. We want to make sure that you understand everything in order to take the stress out of the cost of dental care.

We will work closely with you to maximize your dental benefits, and should you choose, we offer a variety of payment options including 6 months with no interest and no payments.

 

When it comes to all aspects of your dental care, at Acreview Dental Clinic we are truly dedicated to your comfort.

 

If you have any questions, or wish to schedule your next appointment, please feel free to call us at 250-338-9085. We are here to help you!
