General dentistry includes dental fillings, tooth extractions, wisdom teeth removal, periodontal treatment, and oral surgery. We also provide inlays, onlays, and sedation dentistry for complex cases. Each treatment is customized to restore your oral health and maintain strong, natural-looking teeth.

A tooth extraction may be required for severe decay, infection, or when a tooth cannot be restored. At Coral Dental Langley, we evaluate your condition, discuss options, and carefully remove the tooth. We then guide you on restorative choices (fillings, implants, or other solutions) and after-care to preserve your health.

At Coral Dental Langley, dental crowns are recommended when a tooth has significant damage — such as a large fracture, deep decay, or after root-canal treatment. A crown fully covers the tooth to restore strength, function, and appearance. During your visit, we’ll assess whether a crown is the most suitable option or if a more conservative treatment, such as bonding or a veneer, may work for your specific case.

Dental bonding at Coral Dental Langley is a quick, gentle cosmetic treatment used to repair chips, close small gaps, or improve tooth colour and shape. Our dentist applies a tooth-coloured resin, sculpts it carefully, and hardens it with a special light to enhance your smile. We’ll review your goals, evaluate your tooth structure, and explain how long bonding should last so you can make an informed decision.

We offer professional teeth-whitening solutions at our dental office in Langley, using safe and controlled whitening formulas for brighter, more predictable results. With proper oral hygiene and lifestyle choices, whitening results usually last 6 to 12 months or longer. Before treatment, we’ll complete an exam, discuss your expected outcome, and help you select a shade that looks natural and healthy.

Dental veneers are basically thin porcelain or composite shells bonded to the front of your teeth to improve shape, size, colour, alignment, and symmetry. At Coral Dental Langley, we may recommend veneers when you are seeking a more noticeable transformation than whitening or bonding can provide. During your consultation, we’ll review your smile goals, oral health, and all available options to determine if veneers are the right choice.

Yes, Coral Dental Langley offers neurotoxin treatments designed to soften facial lines and complement your overall smile aesthetics. Before beginning, we review your dental and medical history, explain the procedure, and discuss realistic expectations. This ensures your treatment is truly safe, effective, and aligned with your aesthetic goals.

Root canal therapy is highly recommended when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or severely inflamed because of deep decay, a crack, or trauma. The procedure removes the damaged tissue, thoroughly cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to avoid further infection. At Coral Dental Langley, we examine your symptoms, take diagnostic imaging when needed, and recommend a root canal only if it is the best option to save and restore your natural tooth.

Partial dentures are particularly designed for patients who still have some natural teeth left, while full dentures substitute all the teeth in the upper or lower arch. Both options improve your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. At Coral Dental Langley, we customise your dentures to fit securely and comfortably, and we guide you on care and long-term maintenance so they perform well in daily use.

Dental implants change missing teeth by placing a titanium post into the jawbone, where it connects very naturally with the bone for strong, long-lasting support. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants do not rely on neighbouring teeth and help preserve jawbone health over time. During your consultation at Coral Dental Langley, we assess your bone quality, oral health, and goals to determine whether implants are the most suitable choice.

A dental bridge changes one or more missing teeth just by anchoring an artificial tooth to the natural teeth or implants beside the gap. Bridges restore chewing ability, improve appearance, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting. At Coral Dental Langley, we evaluate the space, supporting teeth, and your overall oral health to determine if a bridge is an effective and stable option for you.

Selecting the right treatment depends on multiple factors, including the condition of your remaining teeth, the number of teeth missing, your bone health, and your personal goals. At Coral Dental Langley, we review diagnostic findings, discuss all available options—such as root canal therapy, dentures, implants, or bridges—and create a tailored plan that supports both your function and long-term oral health.

Invisalign utilizes a series of clear, conveniently removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into right alignment. It’s often a great option for teens and adults with medium to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite concerns. At Coral Dental Langley, we assess your teeth, bite, and lifestyle to determine whether Invisalign is a comfortable and effective alternative to traditional braces for your needs.

ClearCorrect is another clear-aligner system designed to straighten teeth using thin, nearly invisible trays. It works similarly to Invisalign, while traditional braces use fixed brackets and wires. During your consultation, we compare factors such as treatment complexity, estimated results, cost, and your day-to-day routine to recommend the option that fits you best.

Traditional braces may be recommended when teeth need significant movement, when bite correction is more complex, or when wearing removable aligners consistently could be challenging. At Coral Dental Langley, we review your goals, dental health, and expected outcome to help you decide whether braces or clear aligners will give you the strongest long-term result.

To get the best results, aligners must be worn for about 20–22 hours a day. You’ll remove them to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss. It’s important to clean your aligners daily and store them safely when they’re not in your mouth. One major benefit is that you can continue enjoying most foods without restrictions since the trays are removable.

Treatment timelines vary based on your bite and how much your teeth need to move, but many patients complete aligner therapy in roughly 12–18 months. After your teeth are aligned, you’ll wear a retainer to keep them in their new position. At Coral Dental Langley, we provide a personalized plan outlining your expected timeline and long-term maintenance for a lasting, healthy smile.
