Dental Care Services in Saskatoon

Riverbend Dental Centre provides a number of services for patients in Saskatoon. We offer direct billing to your insurance company so you won’t have to worry about the paperwork.

Invisalign®

Invisalign® clear aligners are a virtually invisible solution to gradually move your teeth toward the smile you always wanted. We work with patients that have moderate to severe conditions by creating a comfortable solution to fit your lifestyle. Because the aligners are removable, you can continue to eat your favourite foods and brush and floss normally to keep your gums and teeth healthy. Average treatment time is about one year.

Botox

BOTOX also known as botulinum toxin (“Botox Cosmetic”) is an injectable treatment used to treat multiple issues such as; TMJ, chronic head aches/ migraines, tense facial musculature. It can also treat cosmetic “frowns” “crows feet” and “worry lines” on the face. These treatments are effective but they do require multiple visits and continued injections to keep the desired esthetic look and functional properties. Your treatment results may last 3-4months or longer depending on the frequency of the injections. Cosmetic BOTOX may not be covered by your insurance, but dental related BOTOX could have some insurance coverage for specific treatments stipulated by your insurance plan.
Dr Rajapaksha is certified in BOTOX treatment at our clinic. Book your consult today!

Teeth Whitening

Whitening

If your teeth have become stained yellow by coffee, tea, acidic foods, or genetics, Riverbend Dental Centre offers teeth whitening to lighten your teeth up to three shades. We do in office ZOOM whitening that allows the teeth to reach their brightest white after one visit. We make custom whitening trays for your upper and lower teeth for you to take home and use until your desired results. We provide you with industrial grade whitening paste that will gradually whiten your teeth in multiple uses. These treatments are safer and more effective than over the counter whitening kits.

Sport/Night Guards

Our Saskatoon dentist also provides sport and night guards, custom fitted for your teeth, gums, and jaw line. Sport guards offer vital protection in contact sports such as wrestling, football, rugby, and hockey and protection against impact in basketball, volleyball, softball, and other sports. If you grind your teeth while you sleep at night, we have night guards available to keep your teeth apart, avoiding the dulling of the edges of your teeth caused by repeated grinding.

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns & Bridges

Crowns cover teeth that have had root canals, large fillings/restorations, cracks, chips, redecay, or worn down. Crowns help to preserve the teeth from breaking, wearing down and esthetic purposes. Bridges “bridge the gap” created by an extracted tooth, filling in the space with a veneer and supporting the surrounding teeth. Both are available at Riverbend Dental Centre, each custom fitted for your teeth.

Root Canals

When there is decay or infection at the base of tooth, a root canal may be necessary. Root canals clean out areas in and around the tooth, removing the nerve to relieve pain. We will determine if you are a good candidate for a root canal and if the process is necessary to remedy your tooth pain.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

It is common for patients to have impacted wisdom teeth, which crowd the other teeth, can make them crooked, and cause pain and discomfort in the teeth and gums. Riverbend Dental Centre can extract one, multiple or all wisdom teeth. This is done by numbing the mouth. In our office we provide localized freezing to the extraction site. We offer nitrous oxide conscious sedation (aka laughing gas) at our clinic. If a general anesthic is required or requested, we will provide a referral to an Oral Surgeon for your procedure. Recommendations for recovery and follow up care are given after the procedure is completed and required medications if needed are prescribed.

Fillings

When a tooth gets a cavity, fillings are often needed to fill in the hole and stop the spread of decay. Today’s fillings are composed of a clear resin that matches the color of your tooth, as we use a variety of filling material that are safe for you and strong that will last for years to come.

Orthodontics

We offer a wide range of orthodontic treatment, from complex to simple cases. We do traditional braces and Invisalign.

Implants

Our office offers implant placements with bone grafting. We do implants with crown restorations and denture implants. What are dental implants? They are titanium screws that function like natural tooth roots that become integrated into your bone. They are done to replace missing teeth and restore your smile and function. Implants look and feel similar to a natural tooth.

Oral Cancer Screening

Oral Cancer Screening

During your dental exam, our dentist will check your face, tissues, tongue, throat, gums, lips, and neck for any signs of oral cancer which can be difficult to detect with the naked eye. We will refer to a specialist for a biopsy and further investigation if required.

Dental Sedation

Our office offers Nitrous Oxide gas (laughing gas) to patients who experience dental anxiety or are nervous about any dental treatment. Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) is inhaled through the nose and mouth. Patients remain awake and able to communicate with the feeling of ease while getting your dental treatment completed. The nitrous oxide tends to reduce gag reflex and increase pain threshold.
