How We're Different
Hygiene-Focused Approach
We prioritize prevention, long-term oral health, and thoughtful care — not upselling or volume-driven treatment plans.

Direct Billing & CDCP Accepted
We offer direct billing to most insurance providers, including the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), and provide clear treatment estimates so you understand costs before moving forward.
Designed for Calm, Private Care
Our two-chair clinic creates a quiet, attentive environment where appointments feel unhurried and comfortable.
Dental Cleanings Without Changing Dentists
Already have a dentist? You’re welcome here for your cleanings. We can provide hygiene care and send notes back to your primary dental provider. Short notice appointments are available!
While we are a prevention-focused clinic, Sidney by the Sea Dental Clinic is a full-service general dental practice. From routine cleanings and exams to restorative treatments and extractions, we provide comprehensive care in a calm, personalized setting.
Preventative Dental Care
Routine dental cleanings are at the heart of our practice. We provide thorough hygiene care including plaque and tartar removal, stain removal, polishing, and cleaning below the gums when needed. Regular cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease, and long-term oral health issues.
Dental Restorations
When teeth are damaged or weakened, we offer restorative treatments such as fillings, crowns, and veneers to repair function and appearance. Our approach is thoughtful and conservative, focusing on long-term strength and comfort.
Extractions / Surgery
If a tooth cannot be repaired due to decay, infection, or trauma, removal may be the healthiest option. Our team provides thorough assessment, local anesthesia, and clear aftercare guidance to help you heal comfortably.
Guards & Bite Appliances
Custom nightguards and bite appliances protect teeth from grinding and clenching, reduce jaw strain, and help manage TMJ symptoms. Each appliance is tailored for comfort and long-term protection.
Botox
Botox can be used cosmetically to soften facial lines or therapeutically to help manage TMJ discomfort, jaw tension, and teeth grinding. We provide careful assessment to determine if treatment is appropriate for you.
Periodontics
Healthy gums are essential for long-term oral health. With more than 20 years of experience, our team carefully monitors and treats gum inflammation and periodontal disease, providing personalized care and ongoing hygiene support to help protect your smile.
Endodontics
If infection reaches the inner portion of a tooth, root canal therapy can relieve pain and preserve your natural tooth. We provide careful evaluation and treatment planning to restore oral health and prevent further complications.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They restore function, support jawbone health, and help maintain a natural-looking smile. We provide consultation and coordinated care for implant treatment.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Although our practice is rooted in hygiene and long-term oral health, we are a full-service dental practice that offers cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening and veneers for patients who desire them. We prioritize natural-looking results and ensure every recommendation supports both aesthetics and overall dental health.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear, removable plastic aligners to straighten teeth without metal wires or brackets. Dr. Andrews is passionate about not only transforming your smile for esthetics, but for function too.
Whether you’re returning, new to our clinic, or simply need a cleaning while your regular provider is unavailable — you’re welcome here.
