Bow View Dental Care

At Bow View Dental Care we believe that coming to the dentist as a child should not be a fearful experience and we put a strong focus on developing caring and trusting relationships between your children and our team.

Dental implants are natural-looking replacements for missing teeth that provide the same support and function as your natural tooth root would. They are the most advanced therapy available for replacement of lost teeth.

The thought of having a tooth extracted can be an anxiety causing ordeal, but with Dr. Leong, you can rest assured that he will do everything he can to make the experience as comfortable for you as possible.

Even when we are doing our best to keep our mouths in good health with proper home care and regular dental visits, problems with our teeth can still arise, and Dr. Leong and his team are here to help you when you need it.

Sometimes when a problem becomes more extensive, a root canal may be necessary to treat the pain or infection you are experiencing and keep you from losing the tooth involved. Although they have received a bad reputation, a properly done root canal is no more uncomfortable than having a cavity filled and is a fairly routine procedure.

One of the best ways to avoid having to come to the dentist for major dental work is to come to see us routinely for care that helps you keep your teeth and smile healthy and problem free. Dr. Leong and his team truly believe that the best dentistry for you is that which results in not needing treatment at all.

At Bow View Dental Care, we use tooth coloured composite resin to rebuild teeth affected by cavities. This modern filling material is widely used for most cases in dental clinics today.

Cochrane kids today are extremely active with many involved in some form of organized sports. Proper protective gear for children playing in any sport that may result in bodily contact, whether intended or by accident, should include a custom made, well fitting sports guard to protect the teeth from possible trauma.

A crucial part of helping you keep your teeth healthy is early detection of any problems that might be occuring in your mouth. Our digital x-ray system allows us to take highly detailed images of your teeth with less radiation than conventional x-rays.

Sometimes a filling alone is not enough to build a tooth back up to its original size and strength after being affected by decay or fracture. In these cases, a crown (sometimes called a 'cap') is recommended to reinforce the overall structure of a tooth.

Teeth grinding, if present, often happens at night and can result in severe wear and sensitivity of teeth, as well as causing you to wake up with headaches or jaw and neck pain. The fabrication of a night guard is a very common dental procedure and wearing this acrylic appliance can protect the teeth from damage.

Sealants are a thin plastic coating that is placed into the deeper grooves of certain teeth in order to help prevent the development of cavities. A sealant will be placed in the fissures of the biting surface of the tooth after it has been specially cleaned in order to seal off these grooves and prevent anything from getting into them.

Fluoride is a natural mineral that can be found in soil, water, and various foods and is one of the most effective agents available to help prevent tooth decay. In Cochrane, there is relatively very little fluoride in our drinking water and so at Bow View Dental Care we recommend the application of fluoride onto the surfaces of your child's teeth twice a year to help resist against tooth decay.

Your first patient experience with Dr. Leong is about getting to know you and identifying your needs and concerns regarding your oral health. He will have a comprehensive discussion with you about your medical and dental history, your life circumstances, any problems you might currently have with your teeth, and your desires regarding your teeth and smile.

At Bow View Dental Care we believe in a team approach for the maintenance of your teeth and gums. We provide comfortable ultrasonic scaling which uses vibration and gentle water flow to flush the tissues and remove hard and soft plaque, along with hand scaling using fine instruments to gently and carefully smooth the teeth.

Coming to the dentist for routine recare visits, and not just when we feel pain or see a problem, can go a long way in helping you to keep your smile healthy and avoid having to undergo extensive dental treatments.
