What does a dentist in Dover do?
Our dentist handles routine work like cleanings, exams, and fillings alongside treatment that cannot be scheduled in advance, such as a tooth that breaks at dinner or an infection that flares overnight. At Eagle Point Dental, the goal is to diagnose accurately and treat efficiently, ideally in one visit when possible. Our dentists also help anxious patients work through dental fear using sedation options that range from light to deeper relaxation. Plain explanations matter here. We tell you what is happening, what your choices are, and what each choice will cost before any treatment begins. When you are in pain, that kind of clarity is often as reassuring as the treatment itself.
Caring dentists and a suite of dental care services
Two general dentists lead the practice. Dr. Heather Chisholm has over 40 years of experience and focuses on restorative and cosmetic work. Dr. Rodney Herchak who previously owned a solo dental office in Southwest Calgary for 20 years before joining our clinic, focuses on helping nervous patients feel at ease. Together they cover the full general-practice range, including root canal therapy, same-day crowns, bridges, extractions, and routine care, without sending patients across town for most procedures. We use digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and a CBCT 3D scanner to plan treatment accurately. Patients leave each visit with a written plan, a clear cost breakdown, and pain relief when that was the reason for the appointment. Handling most treatment in-house keeps care coordinated and saves patients from repeated trips.
What dental services do we offer?
Eagle Point Dental covers urgent and restorative treatment from our office on Dover Rd., including root canal therapy, sedation dentistry, crowns, and bridges. Beyond these, we provide preventive cleanings, fillings, dentures, implants, cosmetic bonding, veneers, and wisdom teeth removal. Children's services, senior care, and family hygiene visits round out the practice. We see urgent cases the same day whenever the schedule allows, with priority given to facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, and severe pain. The aim is to handle as much as possible in-house, so patients do not need separate referrals for routine root canal or crown work. One team, one location, one record for your whole family.
Dental treatments and oral care services in Dover
An emergency root canal becomes necessary when nerve pain, infection, or trauma threatens a tooth. Root canal therapy removes the infected pulp from inside the tooth, disinfects the canal, and seals it, saving the natural tooth rather than extracting it. Trusted endodontics is designed far more soothing than its reputation suggests. Most patients describe the appointment as no worse than a long filling, especially when sedation is added. After the canal is treated, a crown is usually placed to protect the hollow tooth from fracture. We complete many crowns the same day using CEREC milling technology, which means fewer appointments and no temporary crowns to manage. Pain relief is typically immediate once the inflamed nerve is removed.
Restorative dentistry and advanced technology
Crowns and bridges restore teeth that are damaged or missing. A crown covers a tooth that has been cracked, heavily filled, or treated with a root canal, acting as a custom-fitted cap that protects what remains underneath. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to the natural teeth on either side, restoring chewing function and keeping neighbouring teeth from drifting. For patients missing more teeth, or those who prefer not to alter adjacent teeth, implants supported by osseointegration are discussed as an alternative. Our CBCT scanner and intraoral scanner let us plan and mill same-day crowns in many cases. Patients leave with a restored smile, an accurate bite, and the function they had before the tooth was damaged.
Additional services we offer
Sedation dentistry is available for patients who feel anxious, need a longer procedure completed in one visit, or have struggled with dental fear in the past. We offer nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, which wears off within minutes, and oral sedation for deeper relaxation. Our admin team direct-bills most major Canadian insurance providers, so patients do not pay the full amount upfront and wait for reimbursement. If you are unsure about your coverage, call ahead and we will check your plan limits before booking. Some treatments, such as crowns and bridges, may need pre-authorization, which we handle on your behalf. Wheelchair access, free Wi-Fi, and early-morning slots round out the practical details.
Why choose Eagle Point Dental?
Our office sits on Dover Rd. itself, so patients in the Dover area are only minutes from the chair, with easy access from Departure Bay, Hammond Bay, and the rest of North Nanaimo. Having two general dentists means flexibility, because when one is fully booked, the other often is not. Our team handles routine cleanings and complex root canal emergencies under the same roof, which matters when you are in pain and do not want to call three different offices. We invest in diagnostic technology like CBCT, intraoral scanning, and digital X-rays, because accurate diagnosis saves patients money and discomfort. Costs are reviewed before treatment begins, second opinions are welcome, and most of our growth still comes from word of mouth.
