Lonsdale Dental Centre

It’s holiday time!  For most of us that means we are gearing up for visits, dinners, parties and brunches with our loved ones this holiday season.  We all want to look our best this time of year – especially when we are surrounded by our friends and family.

What better way to “wow” your friends and family than by whitening your smile at Lonsdale Dental Centre. Our in-office whitening treatments can dramatically brighten your smile, taking years off your appearance and uncovering your natural radiance.

We understand that time is valuable. Especially during the busy holiday season, so why not treat yourself to an enhanced, brilliant white smile amidst the flurry of shopping and celebration?

Over time our teeth become stained by age, smoking, drinking tea, coffee or red wine. With all the whitening kits available in stores these days, why should you visit Lonsdale Dental Centre to get your teeth whitened?

First, our in office whitening procedure is fast! We can brighten your smile up to 10 shades whiter in only an hour, as opposed to retail whitening systems, which can require 30 or more treatments to achieve lackluster results.

Second, our whitening treatments are designed for your comfort and convenience! That means no more awkward, uncomfortable strips or trays. We can help you achieve incredible results in as little as one relaxing visit to our office.

Call now to book your holiday whitening treatment, and smile with confidence this season!

Halloween is on the horizon and your health partners at Lonsdale Dental Centre want to help you protect your kids from something even scarier than zombies, ghosts and goblins this Halloween. There’s something even more bone-chilling called tooth decay!

We all remember the joys of trick-or-treating, and coming home to unload our sugary spoils and eat candy until our tummies ached. Parents are in the scariest position at Halloween, predicting the cavities, temper tantrums and hyperactivity that will result from the copious candy intake by their youngsters.

The best way to avoid any of these truly tricky consequences in the aftermath of Halloween is not to consume any candy at all. However, we know that’s highly unlikely and that’s why your experts at Lonsdale Dental Centre have created a Halloween candy guide to help protect your kids from tooth decay and thereby ensure their optimal oral health for life.

Below is a listing from most harmful to the safest treats your kids should be choosing from their trick-or-treat bag:

Sour Power – Sour candies are the absolute worst in that studies have revealed that the acids in sour candies are so destructive because they dissolve enamel on contact!

Hardly Harmless – Hard candy needs to be sucked on for an extended period of time and very chewy candies are harmful in that they get stuck between the teeth. Both hard and chewy candy allow bacteria to wreak havoc on your child’s teeth for a much longer period of time.

Resist Raisins – Don’t be fooled by their natural derivative. Raisins easily damage dental work because they are very sticky and do not mix well with fillings, braces or retainers.

Candy Bars Get Four Stars – While we can’t say candy bars are good for your oral health, they are less harmful because they are eaten quickly allowing less time for the sugar to damage with acid.

Dissolve Your Worry – Powder candy is fairly safe as the sugar dissolves quickly and makes little contact with the teeth.

Eat Two or Three if They’re Sugar Free – As obvious as it seems, sugar-free candy is the most highly recommended Halloween treat for your children’s teeth. You can even prevent cavities by chewing sugar free gum! Sugar free gum promotes increased saliva which neutralizes harmful bacteria.

If your little monsters will be in need a routine dental cleaning after Halloween give us a call and book an appointment today!

The Academy of General Dentistry has confirmed that historically, on average men are less likely to visit the dentist than women. Studies further revealed that men have been either afraid to go and embarrassed about it, or they just don’t have the time for it.

Interestingly, these days men are getting back into the dental chair as they realize that a dazzling smile is an invaluable asset in the business world. More and more male patients are coming into our office asking for cosmetic dentistry procedures like whitening and veneers!

The truth is, nothing closes the deal like a healthy, handsome smile care of your dental experts at Lonsdale Dental Centre. We no longer live in the days were most men worked one job for their entire life, in today’s world a man will go though many interviews and work for a variety of employers.

It’s also now common place for middle aged gentlemen to be in competition with young men in the workplace which has placed greater importance on a man’s appearance.

In today’s world, a winning smile is the key to success in business, but aside from that routine 6-month hygiene visits are imperative to maintaining optimal oral health.

Modern dentistry is safe, relaxing and keeps you feeling energetic and youthful. The days of being afraid of the dentist are over thanks to sedation dentistry. More and more men and realizing the benefits of great oral health extend into helping you achieve your personal and professional goals.

So guys, it’s time you give us a call at 604-988-3222, we’ll get you looking and feeling great for your next interview, boardroom meeting or sales call!
