Uptown Park Dental
General Dentistry in New Westminster
General Dentistry
Healthy teeth start with regular care. Our clinic in Uptown New Westminster provides general dentistry for patients of all ages — simple, steady, and built around comfort. Every visit gives us a chance to keep your teeth and gums strong while catching small problems early.
When you come in, we take time to talk first. You can mention any changes you’ve noticed, or things that have been bothering you. Then we complete a thorough exam, check your bite, and review your gum health. If something needs attention, you’ll always know what’s happening and why.
General dentistry includes a wide range of everyday treatments: dental cleanings, fillings, sealants, X-rays, and gum care. We also provide root canal therapy, wisdom tooth evaluations, and emergency appointments when needed. Each treatment is explained clearly, and nothing begins until you’re ready.
Good oral health depends on good habits, so we always share practical advice you can use at home — simple routines for brushing, flossing, and protecting enamel between visits. Many of our patients come from across New Westminster, Burnaby, and the surrounding area, often referred by friends or family who’ve been with us for years.
We accept new patients and offer direct billing to most insurance plans, along with guidance for those eligible under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).
If you’re searching for a general dentist near you who values comfort, conversation, and long-term results, we’d be happy to help.
New Patients
If you’re new around Uptown or just looking for a different dental office, our doors are open. The idea is simple — make that first visit feel easy. You’ll meet the team, talk about what’s going on, and see how we work before anything happens.
Comprehensive Oral Exam / New Patient Exam
A comprehensive oral exam is the best way to understand where your oral health stands today. During your first visit to our New Westminster clinic, one of our dentists will complete a full check of your teeth, gums, bite, and overall mouth health. It’s a simple process that gives you a clear picture before any treatment begins.
Dental Hygiene
Clean teeth make a difference. So does a calm visit. Our hygiene team focuses on both.
When you come in, we start with a quick chat — how things have been feeling, what’s been easy, what hasn’t. Then we begin. Plaque and tartar come off carefully, a bit at a time, while we check your gums and enamel. It’s simple, steady work that keeps small problems from turning into bigger ones.
Gum Grafting
Gums can pull back for a few reasons — brushing too hard, clenching, age, or simply genetics. When that happens, teeth can look longer and feel sensitive, especially near the roots. Gum grafting helps rebuild that missing coverage and gives your teeth better protection.
Oral Cancer Screening
An oral cancer screening takes only a few minutes but can make a big difference. It’s a simple part of your regular dental visit — quick, gentle, and often unnoticed — yet it helps us spot changes early, when treatment works best.
Dental Sealants
Even with good brushing, it’s hard to clean every tiny groove on the back teeth. That’s where sealants help. A sealant is a thin, protective coating that covers those deep pits and ridges, keeping food and bacteria out. It’s a simple way to prevent cavities before they start.
Root Canals
Sometimes a tooth hurts because the nerve inside has become infected or inflamed. It can happen after a deep cavity, an injury, or even from old fillings that have worn down over time. When that happens, a root canal is usually the best way to fix it and keep the tooth.
Teeth Extractions
There are times when a tooth can’t be saved. It might be too damaged, infected, or simply crowding other teeth. When that happens, removing it can help protect the rest of your mouth and stop ongoing pain.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to come in, usually between the late teens and early twenties. Sometimes they fit in just fine. Other times, there isn’t enough room, and they start pushing against other teeth or growing in at an angle. When that happens, removal is often the safest way to prevent future problems.
Teeth Whitening (In-Office)
Over time, teeth pick up colour from food, drinks, or just daily life. Coffee, tea, red wine — they all leave a mark. In-office whitening helps lift those stains and restore a cleaner, brighter look in one appointment.
Teeth Whitening (Take-Home)
Some people like whitening at their own pace — that’s where take-home kits come in. The idea is simple: you get custom-fitted trays made for your teeth and use a whitening gel at home for a short time each day.
X-Rays (Digital)
Dental X-rays show what we can’t see by looking alone. They help us find cavities, check bone levels, and monitor changes under fillings or crowns. With digital imaging, that process is faster, clearer, and safer than ever before.
Emergency Dentistry
Tooth pain can come on suddenly — a chipped tooth, swelling, or a filling that’s come loose. When that happens, getting seen quickly matters. Our team sets time aside each day for emergency patients, so help is close when you need it.
Night Guards
A lot of people grind their teeth in their sleep. Some don’t know it until a dentist points out the signs — flat edges, small chips, sore jaw in the morning. It happens from stress, bite alignment, or just habit.
Retainers
When braces or aligners come off, your teeth aren’t done moving. The bone and gums around them are still settling. Without support, they can slowly shift back to where they started. A retainer holds them steady while everything firms up.
Oral Sedation
Some people feel uneasy at the dentist. That’s completely normal. Oral sedation is one way to make visits easier — a simple pill taken before your appointment that helps you stay calm while we work.
