Why Choose Hazel Dell Dental Care to Fix Your Dental Problems?
Choosing the right dentist in Vancouver is one of the most important decisions you can make for your health. Here’s why patients in Vancouver trust Dr. Erik Jenson:
Dawson-Trained Expertise
Dr. Jenson has completed advanced post-graduate training at the prestigious Dawson Academy. This means he evaluates how your teeth, gums, jaw joints, and bite all work together as one integrated system. This Complete Dentistry approach allows him to diagnose and treat the underlying causes of dental problems, not just the symptoms.
Comprehensive, Personalized Care
We offer a full range of general, cosmetic, and restorative services in one location. Whether you need a routine cleaning, a dental implant, or a complete smile makeover, you’ll receive a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Gentle, Anxiety-Free Experience
We understand that dental visits can cause anxiety. That’s why we offer sedation options and take extra time to ensure your comfort throughout every procedure. Our team is compassionate, judgment-free, and committed to making every visit a positive experience.
Advanced Technology
Our office uses modern diagnostic tools, including digital X-rays and 3D imaging, to ensure accurate diagnoses and comfortable, efficient treatment.
Common Dental Concerns That We Can Fix
Misaligned Bite & Tooth Wear
Do you wake up with jaw pain or headaches? Do your teeth look worn down or feel sensitive? These are signs of occlusal disease or a bite that’s out of balance. When your teeth don’t come together properly, it puts stress on your jaw joints and muscles. You feel discomfort and accelerated tooth wear.
Dr. Jenson’s Dawson training makes him uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat occlusal disease. He will evaluate your bite, jaw function, and tooth wear patterns to create a personalized treatment plan that restores balance and protects your smile for the long term. Treatments may include occlusal adjustments, orthodontics (like Invisalign), or restorative work to rebuild worn teeth.
Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)
Do you grind your teeth at night? Bruxism can cause significant damage to your teeth, leading to worn enamel, cracked teeth, and jaw pain. It’s linked to stress, an unbalanced bite, or sleep disorders.
We offer custom-fitted nightguards to protect your teeth from grinding and clenching. Dr. Jenson will also evaluate your bite to see if there is an underlying cause that can be addressed. For patients with TMJ disorders, we offer specialized TMJ treatment to relieve jaw pain, headaches, and clicking or popping sounds.
Tooth Cavity
Are you experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity? A cavity may be the culprit. While we always do our best to catch cavities early through routine exams, we also offer gentle, painless tooth-colored fillings for when they do occur.
Dr. Jenson uses composite resin fillings that match your natural tooth color and bond securely to the tooth structure. We also offer sedation options for patients who feel anxious about the procedure. Our goal is to make your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can affect your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. Whether you’ve lost one tooth or several, Dr. Jenson offers a range of tooth replacement solutions:
- Dental Implants: A permanent, natural-looking solution that acts as an artificial tooth root.
- Dental Bridges: A fixed restoration that fills gaps and prevents shifting.
- Dentures & Partials: Custom-fitted appliances for replacing multiple missing teeth.
Dr. Jenson will evaluate your bone health and overall oral condition to recommend the best option for you. We offer All-on-4 same-day implants for patients who need a full arch restoration.
Dental Anxiety
Do you avoid the dentist because of fear or anxiety? You’re not alone. Many patients experience dental anxiety, and we’re here to help.
We offer sedation dentistry options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation, to help you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout your treatment. Our team is gentle and patient, and we will never rush you. We explain every step of the process and answer all your questions, so you feel in control and informed.
Discolored Teeth
Are your teeth stained or yellowed from coffee, tea, tobacco, or aging? Professional teeth whitening can help restore your smile’s natural brightness.
We offer both in-office and take-home whitening options. In-office whitening can brighten your teeth several shades in about an hour, while take-home trays allow you to whiten at your own pace. Dr. Jenson will evaluate your teeth to determine the best approach for your needs and sensitivity level.
Crooked Teeth
Are your teeth crowded, overlapping, or misaligned? Crooked teeth aren’t just a cosmetic issue. They can also make cleaning more difficult and increase your risk of cavities and gum disease.
We offer Invisalign clear aligners as a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces. These removable aligners gradually straighten your teeth over time, with most treatments completed in 12-18 months. As a certified Invisalign provider, Dr. Jenson uses 3D imaging to plan your treatment and show you your projected results before you even begin.
Bleeding Gums
Do your gums bleed when you brush or floss? This is often one of the first signs of gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis). Left untreated, gum disease can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss.
We offer comprehensive periodontal therapy, including deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) and ongoing maintenance to restore your gum health. Dr. Jenson will create a personalized care plan to help you prevent further damage and maintain healthy gums for life.
Gaps Between Teeth
Do you have unwanted spaces between your teeth? Gaps, chips, and uneven edges can make you feel self-conscious about your smile.
Porcelain veneers are a versatile solution for these concerns. These thin, custom-made shells are bonded to the front of your teeth to correct gaps, chips, discoloration, and minor misalignment. In just two comfortable visits, you can have a flawless, natural-looking smile that blends seamlessly with your facial features.
