Preventative Care
Our preventative services include professional cleanings, oral cancer screenings, and personalized hygiene instruction. We use digital panoramic x-rays and intraoral cameras to detect issues early. Patients receive tailored advice for maintaining optimal oral health between visits.
Invisalign Treatment
As an Invisalign Preferred Provider, we offer customized clear aligner therapy for straightening teeth discreetly. The treatment includes digital planning with iTero scanning and follow-up adjustments. Patients benefit from removable trays that allow normal eating and cleaning routines.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We provide porcelain veneers, crowns, and ZOOM2 bleaching to improve smile aesthetics. Our BOTOX treatments address facial wrinkles and TMJ-related pain. Each procedure is customized to maintain natural facial expressions while achieving desired cosmetic results.
Restorative Services
Our restorative options include composite fillings, porcelain crowns, and implant-supported bridges. We use bonded materials that match natural tooth color and strength. The practice maintains an amalgam separation unit for environmentally responsible dental care.
Surgical Procedures
We perform extractions, including impacted wisdom teeth, and periodontal surgeries like gum grafts. The clinic offers frenectomies and referral services for dental implants. All procedures utilize magnification loupe technology for precision.

Questions
What dental services does Great Slave Dental offer?
We provide preventative care, Invisalign treatment, cosmetic dentistry, restorative services, surgical procedures, and emergency dental care in Yellowknife.
Are amalgam fillings safe compared to white fillings?
While amalgam fillings are safe, composite fillings bond better to teeth and reduce cracking risks. We recommend white fillings for their aesthetic and structural benefits.
What should I do for a knocked-out tooth?
Contact us immediately at 873-2450 or emergency line 444-9090. Keep the tooth moist in milk or wrapped in tissue. Avoid cleaning the tooth before reimplantation.
How does BOTOX treatment work for dental patients?
BOTOX relaxes facial muscles causing wrinkles and treats TMJ pain. The procedure takes minutes with minimal discomfort using fine needles, lasting 3-6 months.
What safety measures are in place at your clinic?
We use state-of-the-art sterilization, maintain a latex-free environment, and take thorough medical histories to ensure patient safety during all procedures.
