Our Services
The Preventative Treatment Appointment
This appointment is your first official visit with a Fresh Dental hygienist and it consists of a thorough oral health exam, with X-rays if needed, as well as dental hygiene treatment. During this 1.5 hour visit, we utilize Sopro intra-oral camera and Velscope cancer screening device to establish a baseline for your oral health, create a treatment plan for moving forward and if needed propose referrals to other healthcare providers. A subsequent dental hygiene visit may be needed if more scaling/root planing is required.
We’ll See You Back For A “Re-Fresh”
These appointments are recommended after you’ve gone through a deep cleaning and are a one hour maintenance visit for our returning clients. The protocol during a re-care appointment is not only to have your teeth cleaned, but to re-evaluate areas of concern that may have been detected at the previous appointment. Your oral health is our number 1 priority and we are here to ensure that your teeth continue to shine bright and remain strong throughout your entire life.

Digital Radiography
Dental x-rays are important not just for detecting cavities but also for evaluating the health of bone and supporting tissues.
At Fresh Dental in Kelowna, BC - we use digital x-rays which emit over 80% less radiation than traditional x-rays and can be easily forwarded to other dental professionals.
Do you need some X-rays done? We can definitely help with that!
Oral Cancer Screening
Prevention is key! Historically, the death rate associated with oral cancer is particularly high, not because it is hard to discover or diagnose, but due to the late discovery of the cancer development. Although approximately 55% of oral cancer patients survive more than 5 years post-diagnosis, early detection can increase survival rates up to 90%.
Fresh Dental uses Velscope technology for soft tissue cancer screening, a procedure that makes it possible to identify changes below the surface up to four years before they become clinically visible. Learn more about oral cancer.
Laser Gum Treatment
Do you have pockets in your gums that seem to become inflamed? Are you experiencing long term discomfort along the gum line but do not know how to help with the healing process?
At Fresh Dental we use Picasso Lite soft tissue diode laser to help decontaminate any infected areas and have you feeling more comfortable over night.
Laser use in dentistry has many benefits. As an adjunct to scaling and root planing procedures, its powerful laser light helps decontaminate pockets, decrease the number of periodontal pathogens and increase post-treatment healing. The laser light is effective in eliminating dark-pigmented bacteria, which is the primary bacteria we are trying to eliminate in periodontal disease.
Massage Therapy
Fresh is proud to offer massage therapy by Courtney Barnes, RMT. Services include treatment and prevention of physical dysfunction, injury, pain, and disorders of soft tissue and joints.
Courtney uses various techniques such as neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy and hot/cold stones to provide a high standard of care in a relaxed environment. Direct billing to most insurance companies is available for your convenience.
Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional therapy targets and treats disorders of the facial muscles and dysfunctions such as mouth breathing, thumb sucking, clenching, grinding, jaw pain, snoring and sleep apnea.
Through retraining of muscles, we work to establish a normal resting position of the tongue, lips and jaw to improve breathing patterns and correct parafunctional habits.
