General Dentist
in Cloverdale

Finding a dentist in Surrey, BC, can feel like a difficult undertaking, especially if it’s been a while since your last appointment. At Clover Park Dental, we understand. That’s why we strive to make our practice a safe space—no matter your background or how long it’s been. Whether you need a routine checkup or have specific concerns, we’re here to listen and provide care based on your oral health needs.

We Offer
Family Dentistry

Life is busy, so we aim to offer flexible appointment scheduling to accommodate both your family’s dental health and schedule. As your dentist in Surrey, BC, we offer care for patients of all ages, from toddlers sitting in the dental chair for the first time to seniors requiring specialized attention in their golden years. 

We focus on providing continuity of care over time. We get to know your household so that every member of your family receives the attention that meets their unique needs.

Small Smiles:
Children’s Dentistry

Introducing children to dental care in a positive way is crucial for a lifetime of good oral health. The kids’ dentist you choose can influence your child’s early perceptions of care. At Clover Park Dental, our team is experienced in working with children and works to create a non-intimidating environment. 

We explain things in a way kids can understand, focusing on preventive care, checkups, and good habits. In short, we work to provide care that fits children’s needs and supports good oral health.

Treatments for Tooth and Jaw Pain

Dental pain is more than uncomfortable. It causes stress, disrupts your day, and makes it hard to think about anything else. Our priority is to gently diagnose the cause and provide effective relief.

Cleanings & Checkups
Regular cleanings and checkups play an important role in maintaining a healthy smile, and we’re here to play our part. At Clover Park Dental, our Surrey dentist offers care that supports your long-term dental wellness. We listen, educate, and partner with you to help you maintain your smile over time.
TMJ Disorder

Experiencing jaw pain, clicking sounds, or difficulty opening your mouth? These are symptoms of TMJ disorder, a.k.a. temporomandibular joint dysfunction. 

We can explore treatment options, including dental night guards that could relieve pressure and protect your teeth while you sleep.

Tooth Pain

A toothache can stop you in your tracks, and some issues can worsen over time without care, making timely evaluation important. 

We provide prompt care to identify the source, which could range from worn enamel to decay. Whatever the cause, we offer treatment options for your needs and long-term health.

Jaw Pain

Jaw pain isn’t always TMJ. It can stem from various issues and even radiate, causing jaw and ear pain on one side. 

Our team assesses your situation to develop a treatment plan. From addressing wisdom teeth problems to fitting you with a night guard for grinding teeth, our Surrey dentist works to find a solution.

Dental Repairs for Damage

Sometimes, teeth need a little help to restore their health, strength, and appearance. We offer a range of restorative services performed with a focus on patient comfort and careful technique.

Dental Fillings

Cavities are common, but getting them fixed doesn’t have to be stressful. We provide comfortable dental fillings in Surrey using tooth-coloured materials that blend in with your natural smile as much as possible.

Cracked Tooth Repair

A cracked tooth can cause pain when biting and temperature sensitivity. We’ll recommend the appropriate repair, whether it’s a dental filling or a crown, to protect the tooth and restore its function.

Root Canal Treatments

Root canals are often misunderstood, but they can relieve pain and save teeth that would otherwise need extraction. Our techniques, anesthesia, and sedation help provide comfort throughout the process.

Tooth Extractions

We want to save your natural teeth, but sometimes a tooth extraction in Surrey is necessary for severe decay, infection, or crowding. We’ll go over the steps and follow up with restorations to reunite your smile.

Gum and Soft Tissue Health:
Supporting Your Foundation

The health of your gums and surrounding soft tissues is just as important as your teeth. We offer treatments to keep your periodontic health on track and address common issues.

Halitosis Treatment

Persistent bad breath can be a sign of gum disease. Scaling and root planing (SRP) goes below the gum line to remove bacteria and tartar buildup. As a result, this could help manage the source of your bad breath.

Laser Bacterial Reduction

Using soft tissue lasers, we can reduce the bacteria in your child’s mouth before their cleaning. This provides an additional form of hygiene treatment before routine care.

Frenectomies

This procedure releases a tight or restrictive piece of tissue (frenum) that can affect speech, eating, or gum health. We can potentially use a laser to encourage faster healing and reduce discomfort.

Soft Tissue Lasers & Growth Removal

This technology allows us to perform minor gum procedures and may lead to less bleeding and quicker healing compared to traditional techniques. We can also remove small growths or reshape gum tissue.

Optional Add-On:
Oral Conscious Sedation

This commonly used form of dental sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your dentist appointment that helps you relax and feel calm throughout your treatment. Don’t worry—you’ll remain awake and able to respond. Many patients report feeling more comfortable or having little memory of the procedure afterward. Never hesitate to ask us about this option if you feel sleep dentistry could benefit you.

FAQs

At-home remedies could help with gingivitis. Brush twice daily, floss daily, and use mouthwash. If this doesn’t help, you may need professional assistance from our South Surrey dentist.

It depends on the location and extent of decay, but most fillings can be done in one 30- to 60-minute appointment. We respect your time, so we’ll give you an idea of how long your dental filling will take.

Generally, we try to save your natural tooth with a root canal before opting to remove it. That said, if we’re concerned about infection spreading to other teeth or the rest of your body, or if your tooth is too damaged for a root canal, we’ll remove it.

In some cases, a hairline crack in a tooth, also called a craze line, isn’t something to worry about. However, do you know the difference between a hairline crack and a real one? When in doubt, if there’s something new going on with your smile, check with us.
