FAQ

Does a dental surgery procedure hurt?

We use minimally invasive techniques and effective anesthesia so you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure, and any tenderness afterward is usually mild and manageable. For patients who feel anxious, we also offer sedation dentistry to help you stay calm and comfortable from start to finish.

Do you offer sedation for surgical treatments?

Yes, we do. We understand that surgical procedures can feel intimidating, which is why we offer sedation dentistry at Kensington Square Dental to help ease anxiety and keep you relaxed throughout your appointment.

When do wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Wisdom teeth often need removal when there isn’t enough room for them to come in properly, which can lead to crowding, infection, or other dental problems. Taking them out early helps prevent future complications. If you’re unsure whether your wisdom teeth need attention, book an assessment at our Burnaby clinic and we’ll take a look and walk you through your options.

Is a root canal painful?

Despite their reputation, root canals are a routine treatment and far more comfortable than most people expect. The procedure removes inflamed or infected tissue from inside the tooth, which actually relieves the pain you may have been experiencing.

What is a gum graft, and do I need one?

A gum graft, also called a gingival graft, is a periodontal procedure that covers exposed tooth roots by grafting tissue to the receded area. It can reduce sensitivity, protect the tooth from further damage, and improve the look of your smile. If you have gum recession, a team of specialists can assess whether a graft is the right solution for you.

What is a bone graft, and why might I need one?

A bone graft replaces missing bone using natural or synthetic materials, and it’s often used to repair bone defects or to rebuild support after tooth loss, sometimes in preparation for dental implants. It’s a common procedure, and our Burnaby team will explain whether it’s needed in your case.
