At Brush Dental, we focus on prevention first, so you can enjoy a healthier smile for life. That’s why we take a prevention-first approach to dental care, helping you avoid problems before they start and keeping your smile healthy for life.
Preventative dentistry isn’t just about cleanings and checkups, it’s about protecting your overall health, catching issues early, and making your dental visits easier, faster, and more comfortable. From advanced imaging to cavity-stopping treatments, we use modern tools and techniques to support your long-term wellness.
How We Can Help
With experienced professionals and advanced technology, Brush Dental is your choice for preventative dentistry in Sherwood Park. Our services include:
Routine Exams & Cleanings
Regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential to maintaining strong teeth and healthy gums. During your visit, we’ll assess your oral health, remove plaque buildup, and provide personalized tips to keep your smile shining between appointments.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer is most treatable when caught early. During your annual exam, we carefully check for any signs of abnormalities, such as lumps, discolouration, or changes in your gums, tongue, or cheeks, so you can feel confident in your health.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to prevent food buildup and decay. Ideal for children, teens, and adults with deep grooves in their teeth, sealants offer long-lasting defence against cavities.
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF)
SDF is a liquid treatment that helps halt the progression of early cavities, and it is especially useful for children or patients who need a non-invasive option. It’s a quick, painless way to protect your teeth and avoid more complex procedures.
Digital Dental X-rays
Our digital X-rays provide clear, detailed images with minimal radiation exposure. They help us monitor your oral health, plan treatments, and catch issues early. As a crucial aspect of preventative dentistry, digital X-rays are especially important for children and patients with frequent checkups.
Advanced Cavity Detection and Protection
We use the latest tools to detect cavities early and stop them in their tracks. With NiRi (Near-Infrared Imaging), we can spot decay without radiation, and with Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF), we can treat early-stage cavities non-invasively. For added protection, we may recommend dental sealants, especially for children and cavity-prone teeth, to help block out bacteria and food buildup.
Early Assessment of Cracking Teeth
Using near-infrared imaging, NiRi technology allows us to detect cracks in teeth without the use of X-rays. It’s a safe, comfortable way to spot early cracking and treat it before it becomes a bigger problem.
Proactive Assessment of Tooth Wear and Alignment
We carefully monitor for signs of teeth grinding, misalignment, and enamel wear to help prevent more serious, long-term damage. By addressing these issues promptly, we can save you from more complex and invasive treatments in the future.
Root Canal
When a tooth becomes infected or severely decayed, a root canal may be the best way to save it. Our experienced dentists will walk you through the process, answer your questions, and ensure you’re comfortable during the entire process. We use gentle techniques and modern tools to make the experience as stress-free as possible.
Tooth Extractions
While we always aim to preserve your natural teeth, there are times when an extraction is the healthiest option. If a tooth is damaged beyond repair or causing other issues, our team will guide you through the process with care and clarity. We’ll explore all alternatives first, and if extraction is needed, we’ll make sure you’re comfortable and supported throughout your recovery.
