Your Surrey or Vancouver Orthodontist Visit

The Pacific West Dental Group has two offices.  Our Vancouver Office is at 182 East 15th Avenue, near Main.  Our Surrey Orthodontics Office is on 137th Street, close to 74th Avenue.

At PacificWest Dental Group, we take pride in providing our patients with a beautiful smile, healthy bite and the confidence that comes from having straight teeth. Often people associate braces as the only means of straightening teeth, however, if treated at an early age; many Orthodontic issues can be treated with a less involved technique such as removable appliances like retainers or, in some cases, headgear.

If done at the appropriate time, jaw growth can be modified, offering very successful results from these techniques and avoiding the need for braces. However, if braces are required, you will discover that technology has advanced significantly since the first “railroad track” braces for teeth models.

Whether your treatment requires Invisalign, In-ovation, Clarity, lingual or labial orthodontics or one of our other modern treatment options – we will ensure that your specific dental needs will be matched with the latest, most effective innovations in Orthodontic technology.

Whatever your Orthodontic concerns, the orthodontists at PacificWest Dental Group in Vancouver and Surrey can help. Please call us to arrange an initial consultation and take the first step towards a healthy and radiant smile.

Our orthodontic patients receive the highest level of care and professionalism, through the strict set of standards that British Columbia adheres to for an Orthodontist to be licensed to practice within the province. Each Orthodontist is required to obtain a license to practice dentistry in Canada by successfully completing at least two years of advanced training in the specialized field of Orthodontics from an accredited university and pass all provincial dental licensing exams in the field of Orthodontics. Only dentists with such advanced specialty education will be able to offer you and your family the specialized Orthodontic services you require.

A New Experience: What to Expect

We understand that a new dental experience can be an intimidating process, which is why we strive to keep you and your family well-informed and why we help you feel as comfortable and confident as possible. To ease your nerves about what to expect, the following steps offer an overview of a typical treatment process:

We encourage our orthodontic patients to ask any questions that you may have along the way, as it is an important part in determining the treatment that is right for you.

While the type of treatment and severity of the issue determines the length of treatment, the usual treatment time for full braces ranges between 18 to 30 months. For this type of treatment, visits of four to eight week intervals are required to adjust your braces to ensure the most successful results of your treatment.

Although our Orthodontists are fully trained as dentists, we specialize only in the treatment of Orthodontic issues. We strongly recommend that you continue a regular schedule of check-ups and cleanings with your family dentist for the maintenance of your dental health.
