Our Services
Some of our services include:
Laughing Gas Sedation
Many people fear visiting the dentist and often neglect seeking treatment. This fear should not stop patients from receiving necessary treatment. We offer laughing gas at our office. It is a popular and effective form of dental sedation because it does not utilize needles or pills. The effects of the treatment are quick acting to dull pain and anxiety prior to receiving dental work. If you suffering from dental anxiety or have put off treatment, allow us to help you find the right option for sedation.
Accurate Diagnostics with Digital X-Rays
At River Side West Family Dentistry Centre, we are one of the only dental clinics in Owen Sound that have completely digitized our dental centre with Rotograph Evo screens by DentX® in each examination room.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth are the molars at the very back of your mouth, and some people may only have 1 or 2, while others may have a full set of 4 covering the top and bottom of their jaw. Once your wisdom teeth start to grow in, they can cause complications such as crowding the rest of the teeth in your mouth, or be prone to developing cavities. Depending on each patient’s situation, we may recommend extracting their wisdom teeth in order to improve overall mouth health and functionality.
Mouth Guards
Typically made from soft plastic or laminate, mouth guards are an important piece of sports equipment during collision sports such as hockey, wrestling and soccer. A properly fitted mouth guard may help reduce the risk of not only dental injuries but concussions.
