Our patients are treated like they are family! We continually advance by staying current with our education in the industry, and with modern technology and best practices.

What is your favourite dental procedure and why?
I enjoy all aspects of dentistry, especially dental implants, oral surgery and endodontic treatment. The experience is paramount.
What are dental implants?
Dental implant is a prosthesis that interfaces with the bone to support the replacement of a tooth or multiple teeth.
Are dental implants common?
Dental implants are very safe and very common.
What should I expect to experience during a dental implant procedure?
My patients’ feedback is that a dental implant placement procedure is a lot less traumatic than having a tooth removed, and recovery is a lot faster.
What are the benefits of replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant?
Dental implants are the ideal tooth replacement and provide the closest experience to natural tooth in function and aesthetics.
Are implant consultations complimentary?
Yes, we offer complimentary implant consultations.
SLEEP DENTISTRY
In addition to providing treatment with laughing gas, Jackson Square Dental provides dental treatment while patients are asleep under oral sedation or general anesthesia.
Is there a minimum age to be treated with sleep dentistry?
Generally speaking, the minimum age for general anesthesia in a dental office setting is 3 years of age.
Are there any procedures that cannot be completed under sleep dentistry?
All treatments can usually be performed under general anesthesia, and with a consultation this would be further decided.
Is there a recovery period from sleep dentistry?
In general, recovery time for sleep dentistry sedation is 24 hours.
For those with limited availability, do you offer sleep dentistry on Saturdays?
Due to high demand, we do offer sleep dentistry on Saturdays.
Other dental practices advertise that they offer sleep dentistry but the highest level offered is oral sedation. What is the difference between oral sedation and general anesthesia offered at your location?
Oral sedation is a lighter modality than general anesthesia, done by having the patient ingest a sedative pill. The patient is in a relaxed state throughout the procedure, aware of surroundings, and able to communicate.
General anesthesia is only provided by an anesthesia specialist, with medication administered by IV. The patient is completely unconscious.
