Twin Dental

We recommend bringing your child to the dentist within 6 months of getting their first tooth, or by the time they turn one. The very first visits are very brief, and allow us to give you helpful advice for caring for your child’s developing smile.

Bring your child in for preventive care at least once every 6 months. If we need to more closely monitor your child’s oral development or a specific concern, we may discuss quarterly visits instead.

The first children’s dental visit includes a brief check of your child’s smile. Even if they only have a few teeth, we will check on how their teeth are coming in and how they are looking. We’ll take our time and help your child feel as comfortable as possible, while also providing you with helpful educational advice.

Yes, they are. We use digital dental X-rays, which emit a tiny fraction of the radiation that older machines did. They are safe for patients of all ages.

Caring for your child’s teeth begins with diligent brushing and flossing. Monitor your child’s at-home oral hygiene, offer reminders, and step in to help. Additionally, limit snacks with added sugar, and have them rinse with water after consuming any sweet treats or beverages. Schedule regular preventive visits for a thorough clean and fluoride application.

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the visual appeal of your smile. It includes treatments like teeth whitening, dental bonding, implants, Invisalign, and veneers to improve smile symmetry.

At Twin Dental, we offer a full range of aesthetic treatments, including professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, composite bonding, Invisalign® clear aligners, tooth-coloured fillings, dental implants, gum contouring, and fully customized smile makeovers.

The right choice depends on your specific goals and timeline. For example, minor flaws might only need quick composite bonding, while multiple concerns could benefit from veneers. Our cosmetic dentist in Edmonton will evaluate your smile and design a plan to help you improve your smile.

Absolutely. Many aesthetic treatments also support your oral health. Straightening your teeth with Invisalign makes them easier to brush and floss, while replacing missing teeth with dental implants helps restore your eating ability and supports jawbone density.

Longevity varies by procedure and your home care. Options like veneers and implants can last a decade or more with proper care. Fast touch-ups like bonding or whitening may need maintenance every few years. Regular checkups can help maintain your results.

Most adults looking to enhance their smile are good candidates. However, an attractive smile needs a healthy foundation. If you have active tooth decay or gum disease, we will treat those structural concerns before moving forward with your cosmetic enhancements.

Your consultation is a collaborative conversation about your goals. We will perform a thorough exam, take digital images of your mouth, and discuss your options. From there, we map out a straightforward, step-by-step plan that fits your vision and goals.

A dental emergency generally includes any unexpected oral health issue that involves severe pain, active bleeding, visible swelling, or structural trauma to your teeth or gums. If a condition prevents you from sleeping, eating, or managing your day, it is a good idea to seek emergency dental care.

For structural dental issues like toothaches, lost fillings, or a cracked tooth, a dental office is usually a suitable place for treatment. However, seek medical care first if your concern impacts breathing or swallowing, or if you believe your jaw is broken.
