FAQ

Do you have a hygienist?
We have two full-time hygienists who serve patients of all ages. Their training in periodontics ables them to achieve perfect tissue.

How soon can I get in?
We try to keep openings in the schedule for new patients and emergencies. These appointment times are usually shorter in length but within a week is likely if you are flexible with your appointment times.

Do you see children?
Yes we do. In addition to cleaning and general dental care, Dr. Stringham also performs orthodontic treatment for children. (Dr . Stringham is not an orthodontist but has received training in neuromuscular orthodontics.)

Do you provide denture care?
Yes we do. In fact, using TENS and other neuromuscular techniques, we will provide you with dentures.

Do you use Mercury fillings?
No. We stopped using mercury fillings in 1998. Since that time adhesive dentistry and the materials used have greatly improved; we just can't see mercury fillings ever being needed.
See our photo gallery for examples of what is often found under old mercury silver fillings.

How long has Dr. Stringham been in practice?
Dr. Stringham graduated from the University of Alberta in 1988. He has maintained a practice in Riverbend since 1990 and we recently moved our office to its present location in 2002.
