Why Choose Sky Dental Centre

Why Choose Sky Dental Centre as Your Thunder Bay Dentist?

Two Dentists You Can Get to Know

Dr. Ameen and Dr. Ibrahim lead our clinical team. Seeing the same dentists visit after visit means they know your history, your concerns and your goals, so your care stays consistent from one appointment to the next.

One Office for Most of Your Dental Needs

From cleanings and fillings to braces, Invisalign and implants, many treatments happen right here. That means fewer referrals and less travel across the city or the region for the care you need.

Care for Every Age

Our family dentistry covers toddlers getting their first checkup, teens in braces, busy parents and seniors with crowns or dentures. Families can often book back-to-back visits to save a trip.

Flexible Scheduling

With hours five days a week, we work with students, shift workers and working parents to find appointment times that fit. Let us know your schedule when you call, and we will try to match it.

Emergency Care When You Need It

Toothache, swelling or a broken tooth? Call us first. We set aside time for urgent problems and will look for the earliest opening, whether you are a current patient or new to Sky Dental Centre.

Dental Services

Dental Services in Thunder Bay

All dental services at Sky Dental Centre are provided by general dentists.

Dental Crowns and Bridges

A crown covers and strengthens a tooth that is cracked, heavily filled or treated with a root canal. A bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth by anchoring to the teeth on either side. Your dentist will explain which option suits your situation.

Dental Implants

An implant replaces a missing tooth with a small post placed in the jawbone, topped with a crown. Our on-site 3D CBCT imaging helps your dentist plan placement. We will also review alternatives, such as bridges or dentures, so you can compare your choices.

Emergency Dentistry

Severe toothache, swelling or a broken tooth? Call us first. We keep time in our schedule for urgent visits, find the cause of your pain, and explain your treatment options before we begin, whether you are a current patient or new to our office.

Invisalign

Invisalign uses a series of removable clear aligners to shift teeth gradually. Our general dentists provide Invisalign for suitable teens and adults. An exam and digital scan help determine whether aligners are a good fit for your teeth and bite.

Orthodontics

Our general dentists provide traditional braces in our office for teens and adults, so adjustments happen in the same place as your regular dental care. At your consultation, we will explain whether braces or Invisalign may suit your goals, or whether a referral is the better route.

Root Canal Therapy

When the nerve inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, root canal therapy removes the damaged tissue and seals the tooth. It can relieve toothache and may let you keep your natural tooth. Most treated teeth then need a crown for protection.

Technology & Comfort

Modern Dentistry With a Personal Touch

3D CBCT Imaging

Sky Dental Centre holds a CT scanner facility permit, so 3D cone beam imaging is available on site. It shows teeth, bone and nerves in three dimensions, which helps when planning implants or looking into complex problems. You will not need to travel elsewhere for the scan.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays display on a screen in seconds and use less radiation than film. Your dentist can enlarge the images and show you exactly what they are seeing, so you understand your treatment options.

Comfort Options for Nervous Patients

Feeling uneasy about dental work? Tell us. We take things one step at a time, explain what to expect, and agree on a signal for breaks. Minimal sedation, such as nitrous oxide, may be available for patients who qualify.

In-House Orthodontic Care

Because braces and Invisalign are provided in our office, your adjustments and checkups happen in the same place as your regular dental care. That can make treatment easier to fit around school and work.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Every plan starts with listening. After your exam, your dentist explains what they found, outlines your choices, and gives you a written estimate so you can decide on the timing that works for you.

Payment & Financing

Flexible Dental Payment Options

We believe you should know what to expect before treatment starts. Your dentist will explain the treatment, the expected cost and what your coverage may pay, so you can plan ahead.

Dental Insurance

We accept most dental insurance plans and can submit claims directly to many insurers on your behalf. Benefits vary from plan to plan, so we can send a pre-treatment estimate to your insurer before larger treatment.

Canada Dental Care Plan (CDCP)

Sky Dental Centre accepts patients covered by the Canada Dental Care Plan. To confirm whether you qualify, or what the plan covers, visit the Government of Canada CDCP website or contact Service Canada.

Payment Options

For larger treatments like braces, Invisalign or implants, ask our front desk about ways to spread out the cost.

Written Estimates

You will receive a written estimate before any treatment, so the cost is clear and there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you accepting new patients?

Yes, Sky Dental Centre is accepting new patients of all ages in Thunder Bay. You can book online or call our office. Bring your insurance or CDCP details and a list of any medications you take, and let us know if you have dental records from a previous dentist we should request.

What dental services do you offer?

Our general dentists offer crowns and bridges, dental implants, emergency dentistry, Invisalign, braces, root canal therapy, same-day veneers, tooth extractions, TMJ therapy and oral appliances for sleep apnea diagnosed by a physician. If you need care we do not provide, we will refer you to an appropriate provider in Thunder Bay or the region.

Do you provide emergency appointments?

Yes, we set aside time each day for dental emergencies such as severe toothache, swelling or a broken tooth. When you call, describe your symptoms so we can judge how soon you need to be seen. If swelling makes it hard to breathe or swallow, go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911.

Do you accept private dental insurance?

Yes, we accept most private dental insurance plans and can submit claims directly to many insurers. We also accept the Canada Dental Care Plan. What your plan pays depends on your coverage, deductibles and annual maximums, so for larger treatment we can send a pre-treatment estimate to your insurer before you decide.

Is the practice suitable for nervous patients?

Yes, many of our patients feel anxious about dental visits, and we plan around that. Mention it when you book so we can allow extra time. Your first visit can be a conversation and exam only, with no treatment that day. For patients who qualify, minimal sedation such as nitrous oxide may be an option.

Where is the practice located?

Sky Dental Centre is at 2817 Arthur Street East in Thunder Bay. Parking is available on site. Patients come to us from across the city and nearby communities, including Kakabeka Falls, Shuniah, Neebing and Nipigon, so we try to book longer or combined visits for those travelling a distance.

How do I book an appointment?

You can book online using the Book an Appointment button on this page or call our office during business hours. Tell us whether you are a new patient, have a dental emergency or need care for several family members, and we will find a suitable time.
