Millions of people across Canada suffer from tooth loss. Losing teeth is not only an oral health concern but also a cause for financial stress as teeth replacement treatments can be expensive. This isn’t just physical and can affect one’s mental health and self-confidence as well.
Dental sealants act as a protective barrier to prevent decay and consists of thin layers of resin that are placed onto the fissures, grooves or pits in a tooth. They form a shield on each tooth and helps keep away food particles that can lead to cavities. Although daily brushing and flossing are required to maintain your oral health, it is difficult to remove food particles from the back of the mouth. So, sealants are applied to molars that are more prone to decay. Sealants can protect everyone but are usually beneficial for young kids who are more prone to cavities. Getting sealants is an easy and painless process and can be done in a dental clinic in one setting. Count on Northland Village Dental Centre for preventive dentistry services, such as dental sealants and dental hygiene services in Calgary. We offer comprehensive dental treatment, including cosmetic dentistry and preventive care.
Dentures are removable artificial teeth and gums for missing teeth. Dentures help you restore your smile. Since patients have the option of getting partial dentures or complete ones, selecting one can be confusing. Count on Northland Village Dental Centre in helping you make a final decision.
One of the most common procedures performed in general dentistry is root canal therapy. Dentin and enamel are the outer covering of teeth. Underneath them is a chamber with pulp.
Who doesn’t want strong and beautiful teeth that last a lifetime? Despite tooth enamel being harder than bone, it still needs safety from wear and accidental breakage. This is why wearing mouthguards is essential for individuals who play contact sports, grind their teeth at night or have temporomandibular joint problems. Our dentists recommend mouthguards to such patients. Northland Village Dental Centre is dedicated to providing quality dental care to patients in Calgary. Our dentists will make your overall visiting experience as comfortable as possible. The health of our patients is very important to us.
Dental crowns and bridges are prosthetic devices that are cemented to your existing teeth by a dentist. A crown or cap is used to cover up discoloured and broken teeth. Bridges, on the other hand, are used to fill the space between your teeth. At Northland Village Dental Centre, your oral health is our top-most priority. Our dental services include dental sealants, hygiene and oral care, root canal treatments, porcelain veneers, dental bridges and dental implants.
Proper dental care helps prevent dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, gingivitis, and tooth decay. Some of the symptoms of dental problems are severe toothache, bad breath, bleeding gums and facial swelling. Visit a dentist immediately if you are experiencing any of these symptoms. Northland Village Dental Centre has been providing dental services in Calgary since 2003. We offer cosmetic dentistry, esthetic makeover dentistry, zoom whitening and home tray bleaching.
If you are concerned about your stained or discoloured teeth, a smile makeover treatment can help you in several ways. Our dentists at Northland Village Dental Centre can provide your teeth a uniform look along with working on the natural translucency and colour. The teeth whitening process is a part of it and can help you achieve a whiter smile.
If you are considering dental implants, you don’t have to be intimidated or scared. It is one of the most reliable options for replacing missing teeth and has gained a lot of popularity. They are made to feel, look and act like natural teeth.
In Northland Village Dental Centre, our dentists are dedicated to providing high-quality dental care services. We are capable, compassionate and try our best to make the overall experience of clients as relaxing as possible.
In this blog post, our dentists explain about what happens during a dental implant treatment.
Dental implants are a boon for people with problems like loose, damaged or absent teeth. People with missing teeth face problems in speech, dental uniformity, oral health and while eating. Implants offer a permanent tooth substitute and restore adequate functionality. At Northland Village Dental Centre, you can get both implants and dentures under restorative dental services.
Your dentist will surgically position a titanium post into the jawbone beneath the gum line. This is followed by a replacement tooth or bridge mounted on the post, which looks and feels totally like a natural tooth. It won’t come loose and isn’t required to be anchored to other teeth like bridges.
Most people know it’s important to take care of their teeth, but did you know that even with brushing and flossing at home you still need to have regular dental check-ups?
At Northland Village Dental Centre, we are passionate about preventive care. Annual or bi-annual cleanings at your dental office in Calgary provide routine maintenance that keeps your teeth and gums in optimal condition.
Aside from a professional cleaning and polishing, your dentist will look for any developing problems that, when caught early, can save you time, money and prevent related health issues.
Your smile says a lot about you. A healthy white smile not only shows you take great care of your teeth, it lets others around you know you’re confident, friendly and self-assured. Likewise, having bad or crooked teeth usually makes us feel self-conscious and uncomfortable, and is often a sign of a more serious issue such as tooth decay, gum disease or even oral cancer. That’s why regular checkups and a proper oral health regimen will go a long way in improving your overall quality of life.
Dental implants have revolutionized dentistry over the last two decades. This is not to say that they are altogether new—their earliest known existence dates back to Mayan civilization in 600 AD—but they sure have come a long way.
At Northland Village Dental Centre we understand that tooth pain is no picnic. Ranging from a subtle fleeting sting to a raging agony of ouch, no two toothaches are the same. Across the board, Calgary dentists cite tooth pain as one of the leading reasons patients visit dental clinics and yet the diagnosis is different from case to case. If your pearly whites are increasingly sore, only a qualified dentist can make an accurate assessment. However, the cause might well be one of the following:

Dental Mission Trip
Dr. Lu traveled to Nepal for a three-week mission trip in October 2012, where he joined his fellow peers to provide dental care for those in rural communities at the Tansen Hospital and Dental Clinic.
Dr. Lu’s passion for dentistry and for the community was a tremendous help to those living in rural Nepal. Many of the patients coming from rural Nepal cannot afford the dental attention they require to sustain a basic quality of life.
On average, the mission has been able to treat about 350 patients every month, treating cases as simple as a cleaning to oral facial trauma.
This mission was a success as Dr. Lu was determined to use his skills to support others in need and gain new friends along the way.

Candy Art Competition
Founded by Dr. Ta Sen Lu, the Candy Art Competition is an annual youth leadership event held by the Calgary Chinese Community Service Association to promote multiculturalism and diversity in the community and to bring awareness to any challenges they have faced.
Candy Art is a fun and whimsical way to use old Halloween candy to create imaginative 3D structures.
Last year, our team members created a life size Calgary Tower that was made with every colorful gumball, cherry red licorice and much more!
Our team loves to promote fun and wellness in the office as well as in the community.
