Lafleur Family Dentistry

The dentists at Lafleur Family Dentistry use a variety of composite (white) fillings and occasionally amalgam (silver) fillings depending on the location, nature of the filling, and other considerations. White fillings are best for front teeth where they will match the tooth in which they are placed. Silver fillings are best suited for areas where isolation of the restoration proves difficult.

A registered dental hygienist will provide a complete periodontal examination including gingival probing. Treatment provided may include tooth prophylaxis, scaling, root-planing, fluoride application, and oral hygiene instruction. There is a definite emphasis on patient comfort throughout the appointment and our hygienists focus on gentle, compassionate care while providing thorough treatment to achieve proper gingiva and periodontal health. A future treatment schedule will be determined based on your specific needs. We also offer modern air polishing services for a more comfortable experience for sensitive patients.

Includes a TMJ evaluation, oral cancer screening and an examination for cavities, including bitewing x-rays and a panoramic x-ray. Options to restore or replace broken or missing teeth and any other concerns you have regarding your dentition will also be addressed.

Includes an exam and x-rays focused on a specific area of the mouth that is causing pain, discomfort, or concerns. Treatment and/or pain control will usually be provided on the day of the appointment with more definitive treatment to be provided at a later date if required.
