I recently had the full-arch dental implant procedure done at Smith Dental, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final follow-up, the entire experience was top-notch. Dr. Smith and his team were incredibly knowledgeable and caring throughout the process.

I’m thrilled with Dr. Finlayson’s work! His skilled craftsmanship, knowledge, attention to detail and patience make for the perfect combination in a dentist. He always takes steps to ensure that my experience is as comfortable and pain-free as possible – and that is very much appreciated.
What Patients Are Saying
I can not express how amazing this place was as a whole. I can get anxiety at times, and haven't been to the dentist for quite a while. Dr. Finlayson and his assistant were the kindest people. They made me feel so comfortable and finished everything with ease.
Abella R.
Highly recommend this dentist. Every time I go there they are all professional and pleasant. Never have had an issue and everything is always explained to me in detail. I just had a tooth extracted and everything was smooth and quick. Dr. Finlayson explained the process and did a great job.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I floss?
You should floss at least once a day to maintain optimal oral health. This helps remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth and under the gum line, where a toothbrush can't reach.
What should I do about my tooth sensitivity?
For tooth sensitivity, use a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth, avoid extremely hot or cold foods and drinks, and maintain good oral hygiene. If sensitivity persists, consult your dentist for a thorough examination and personalized treatment options.
What does fluoride do for my teeth?
Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. It helps to prevent cavities by remineralizing areas of early decay and inhibiting the growth of harmful oral bacteria.
Is my bad breath related to my oral health?
Yes, bad breath can be related to oral health issues such as gum disease, tooth decay, or poor oral hygiene. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups can help manage and prevent bad breath.
