Canary Dental - ABOUT US

                                OUR NAME

     

   I’ve always loved my hometown and wanted our new name to be unique and identify with Atchison’s history. In 1921 Amelia Earhart bought her first aircraft, a yellow biplane, that she nicknamed “Canary”!

   Amelia’s courage, determination, and adventurous spirit continues to be apart of this town, and sheds light on the joy we want to share at Canary Dental. We want our team and patients to feel welcomed in our cheerful and positive office. Through identifying with Atchison’s historic connection to aviation and the bright outlook we have for our patient's smiles, we created the name, Canary Dental! 

      At Canary Dental, we are honored to be your dental home. We look forward to providing you with a sense of comfort and many smiles each time you visit us. Our team feels sincerely blessed to have a strong growing practice made up of wonderful patients, friends, and neighbors that we deeply care about. We look forward to another great year of growth and healthy smiles!

About Us

OUR DENTAL SERVICES

Routine Exams & Dental Hygiene

 

Routine check ups are important to help keep your smile in its best condition! Visual examination, digital radiographs, and intraoral photos are used to diagnose and educate our patients. Oral cancer screenings are also performed at this time. 

​

Periodic cleanings help rid the mouth of harmful bacteria and tartar that collects on our teeth over time. Regular cleanings will help prevent, cavities, gingivitis, periodontal disease and bad breath. 

Invisalign

 

The quick, comfortable, and discrete alternative to traditional brackets and braces. Some advantages include a clear and intimate fit, convenient, and easier brushing and flossing. Aligners are removable and double as a nighttime appliance. Aligners can also provide a strong, healthy foundation for cosmetic restorations and the potential for excellent whitening results in the future. 

Dentistry for Kids

​

Pediatric care focuses on caries prevention and teaches good hygiene habits at an early age. Our young patients are evaluated for cavities, and also facial development and sleep habits. Jaw development is crucial for the overall health and growth of a child!  We are Healthy Start Providers and screen all children  for sleep breathing disorder which can affect the behavior, emotions, and growth of the child! We are very passionate about dental care for our children! 

Cosmetic Dentistry

​

Let us bring you the bright smile you've always wanted! An easy way to brighten a smile is through in office or take home whitening. Other cosmetic treatments include conservative tooth bonding to enhance the shape and shade of the teeth or Porcelain veneers and restorations to offer maximum aesthetic results. Dr. Allyson is a member of the American Academy of Facial Esthetics!

Let us find the best possible treatment for you!

Restorative Dentistry

 

Tooth decay affects the majority of people in their lifetime. White fillings are bonded into the tooth after the decay is removed. When the filling is large or teeth are cracked, a porcelain crown is created to cover and protect the tooth. If teeth are missing, bridges and implant crowns can give a patient a fixed solution.

Botox, TMD & Sleep Dentistry

 

Bruxism, or teeth grinding, affects millions of children and adults in the US.  Left untreated, bruxism can be detrimental to teeth. Bruxism can also be an indicator of sleep apnea and poor sleep habits. TMJ disorder, or TMD, is a dysfunction of one or both jaw joints. These painful and destructive disorders can be treated with appliances and botox that protect from further damage. 

Dentures & Partial Dentures

 

Partial dentures are custom designed to fit around remaining natural teeth and fill in the spaces where teeth are missing. Complete dentures are designed when a patient is missing all of their teeth on the upper or lower jaw. Both partial & complete dentures can be supported by implants to give a more secure fit. 

Urgent Care & Extractions

 

Our goal is to optimize your smile's health and beauty. However, some dental infections and cracks can severely damage a tooth and removal is required. Infections and extractions are treated as necessary and options are given to replace  the missing teeth.
