FAQ

Think of us as a specialized boutique for your oral health. While traditional dental offices focus on a wide range of procedures like fillings, crowns, and surgeries, APX focuses exclusively on preventative care and whitening. We specialize in the "wellness" side of dentistry, providing a more relaxed, spa-like atmosphere dedicated to keeping your smile healthy and bright.

Yes. We view ourselves as a vital part of your healthcare team. While we handle your cleanings, gum health, and whitening, you should still see a traditional dentist for your annual exams, X-rays, and any restorative work like fillings. If we notice something during your cleaning that needs a dentist’s attention, we will let you know immediately so you can book an appointment with them.

It’s simple: Specialization. Traditional dental offices require expensive surgical equipment and high overhead to perform complex procedures. Because we focus specifically on hygiene and whitening, our overhead is lower. This allows us to invest in the very best technology (like our EMS Airflow) while passing the savings directly to you.

Actually, it’s often more thorough. Because hygiene is our sole focus, our clinicians are experts in the latest preventative techniques. Using the 8-step Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) protocol, we can identify and remove plaque (biofilm) that is often invisible to the naked eye—something that traditional "scraping" methods can miss.

Absolutely. We accept most private dental insurance plans and are proud to be one of the few clinics in Renfrew County that welcomes patients on ODSP. Our mission is to make high-quality oral health education and care accessible to everyone in our community.

Since we don’t perform fillings or surgeries, we don't use the aerosols, chemicals, or high-speed drills that create those stressful sounds and smells. Our studio is designed to feel like a spa—quiet, clean, and calming—making it the perfect choice for anyone with dental anxiety.
