Your Regular Checkup

Each visit gives us a clear, up-to-date picture of your oral health. We look closely at your teeth and gums, clean away buildup, and take X-rays when they're needed, so small concerns are handled long before they become painful or costly.

Thorough Dental Exams

Your dentist checks your teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues to spot early changes, like a small cavity or gum irritation, while they're still easy to treat.

Professional Cleanings With GBT

Your hygienist uses Guided Biofilm Therapy to gently clear away plaque, stains and tartar for a more comfortable, thorough clean.

Digital X-Rays

X-rays reveal cavities between teeth and problems under the gums that can't be seen during an exam, with far less radiation than older film X-rays.

A Gentler, More Thorough Clean With GBT

Not all cleanings are the same. We use Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), a modern, evidence-based approach that many dental clinics don’t offer. Instead of relying mainly on scraping, GBT uses a gentle stream of air, warm water and fine powder to remove plaque and stains, including in hard-to-reach spots. The result is a cleaning that’s more comfortable and thorough, and it leaves your teeth feeling remarkably smooth.

See What We’re Cleaning

A special rinse highlights plaque so nothing gets missed, and we can show you which areas need extra attention at home.

Comfortable for Sensitive Teeth

GBT is gentle on teeth and gums, making it a great option for anyone who finds traditional cleanings uncomfortable.

Safe for Implants, Crowns and Braces

The gentle technique cleans effectively around implants, crowns, bridges and braces without damaging them.

Extra Protection for Your Teeth

A checkup is just the start. If we spot a small cavity, a tooth-coloured filling repairs it early, before it reaches deeper into the tooth. Sealants smooth over the deep grooves of back teeth, where decay usually begins, and a quick fluoride treatment helps harden enamel against future cavities. If you clench or grind while you sleep, a custom night guard protects your teeth against years of wear and tear.

Tooth-Coloured Fillings

A natural-looking repair that stops a small cavity from spreading and blends in with the rest of your smile.

Dental Sealants

A thin, clear coating painted onto back teeth to keep food and bacteria out of hard-to-clean grooves. It's especially helpful for kids as their adult molars come in.

Fluoride Treatments

A quick varnish applied after your cleaning that strengthens enamel and makes teeth more resistant to decay.

Custom Night Guards

Made from impressions of your teeth for a comfortable fit, so you can protect your smile from grinding and clenching without it getting in the way of sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GBT cleaning, and how is it different?

Guided Biofilm Therapy is a modern cleaning method that uses air, warm water and a fine powder to remove plaque and stains. Compared to traditional cleaning, it relies less on scraping, so most patients find it gentler and more comfortable, especially those with sensitive teeth, implants or braces.

What's the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?

A regular cleaning removes plaque and tartar from your teeth and just below the gumline. A deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, reaches further below the gums to treat gum disease. It's usually done with freezing and may be split into two visits.

Why do my gums bleed when I brush or floss?

Bleeding gums are most often an early sign of gum inflammation, called gingivitis. The good news is that it's usually reversible with a professional cleaning and good habits at home. If the bleeding doesn't stop, it's worth getting checked.

Do I still need a checkup if nothing hurts?

Yes. Most cavities and gum problems don't cause pain until they're advanced. Regular visits let us find and fix issues before they start to hurt.

Where can I get a dental exam and cleaning in Edmonton?

Pleasant View Dental is at 11044 51 Ave NW in south Edmonton, near Southgate Centre, and welcomes patients from Pleasantview, Allendale, Lendrum Place, Royal Gardens and surrounding neighbourhoods.
