Services

Full-scope dentistry, one downtown chair.

Preventive, restorative, and urgent care in one place, with Dr. Wu (DMD). Cosmetic treatment is available too, once your core care is handled.

  • Checkups & cleanings

    Exam, hygiene, and X-rays in one sixty-minute visit. The maintenance baseline most plans cover in full.

  • Tooth-coloured fillings

    Repair for new decay or a worn older filling. The tooth-coloured material is matched to your enamel for a natural, discreet result.

  • Crowns & bridges

    Full-coverage restoration for a cracked, weak, or missing tooth. Modern materials, planned to last.

  • Root canal therapy

    Treatment that saves a badly infected tooth rather than removing it. Performed under local anaesthetic for a comfortable, straightforward visit.

  • Emergency & same-day care

    Chipped a tooth or lost a filling before a meeting? Call before noon and we’ll make room the same day.

  • Whitening & Invisalign

    Cosmetic care for when the essentials are handled: in-chair whitening over a lunch hour, or Invisalign starting with a complimentary consult.

Also offered

Professional Teeth Whitening, done on your lunch hour.

$150, professional-grade — and you're back at your desk inside the hour.

How it works

Four steps from tap-to-call
to your next cleaning.

Request an appointment, or call.

Pick a sixty-minute slot during lunch or pre-9am. Phone tap-to-call goes straight to the front desk during business hours.

We pre-check your insurance.

A sixty-second confirmation of what's covered, before you arrive. So you know what you'll owe. Usually nothing.

You walk in via Plus-15.

We text a one-screen map showing the covered route from your tower to our entrance.

Sixty minutes, then back to work.

Direct-billed. You leave with your next cleaning already on the calendar.

Meet the team

Four people behind your visit.

Small team on purpose. Dr. Wu does the clinical work; Krista runs the front desk and insurance side; Mary-Kim keeps you in your maintenance window; and Kristy supports Dr. Wu chairside. No call centres, no scheduling bots.

Also offered

Free Invisalign Consult, one honest chat with Dr. Wu.

Thirty minutes, no obligation — alignment options, timeline, and exactly what your plan covers.

Yes. Dental at the Bow is currently open to all new patients, with no referral required. New-patient appointments are typically available within the same week, and we hold lunch-hour and pre-9am slots specifically for downtown professionals.

A first visit is usually sixty minutes. Dr. Wu and the hygiene team complete a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, a professional cleaning, and a conversation about anything you'd like addressed. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your current oral health and, if any future treatment is recommended, a written plan and cost estimate so there are no surprises. Most insured patients pay zero at the appointment.

Yes, and you're in good company. A significant number of our new patients haven't been seen in two, five, or even ten years. There's no judgment, no lecture, and no rushing. We pick up from where you are today and work through anything that needs attention at a pace you're comfortable with.

No. Dr. Wu's standard is to recommend only what's clinically indicated, and to explain the reasoning before suggesting any treatment. If you came in for a cleaning, you'll leave having had a cleaning. Elective work like whitening and alignment is available — you'll see it listed on the page if you're curious — but it's only ever discussed during your visit if you ask about it first.

A routine cleaning and check-up is sixty minutes door to door, and we plan our schedule so visits don't run long. Most patients are back at their desk before their lunch hour is over.

For insured patients, we direct-bill every major group plan in Canada and confirm your coverage in a sixty-second pre-check before you arrive. Most insured patients pay zero at the appointment. For uninsured patients, we'll always tell you the full cost before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
