Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that restore both function and aesthetics. Using titanium posts anchored in the jawbone, we create stable foundations for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This treatment prevents bone loss while offering natural-looking results that integrate seamlessly with existing teeth. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability and facial structure preservation.
All-On-X Implants
All-On-X implants deliver full-arch tooth replacement using just four implants per jaw. This innovative approach allows immediate loading of fixed prosthetics, eliminating the need for removable dentures. Patients achieve permanent teeth restoration in a single day while maintaining facial volume and bite functionality through strategically placed implants.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services enhance smiles through veneers, bonding, and smile design. We address discolouration, misalignment, and shape irregularities while maintaining dental health. Treatments combine artistic skill with technical precision to create natural, harmonious results that complement facial features and personal aesthetics.
Dentures
Premium dentures offer functional tooth replacement solutions with improved comfort and aesthetics. We create custom-fitted prosthetics that restore chewing ability and facial support. Advanced techniques ensure secure fit while addressing common issues like bone resorption and tissue irritation through regular adjustments and relines.
Sleep Dentistry
Sleep dentistry services help anxious patients receive necessary treatments through conscious sedation techniques. We offer tailored anxiety management options including oral sedatives and IV sedation. This approach ensures comfortable, stress-free procedures while maintaining patient safety and treatment effectiveness during complex dental work.

Myself also had a really bad experience with this dentist, theyre overpriced, The treatment give it to me no supposed to do, I got my dental referral letter say that, I need to fix up my gum first, instead straightaway cut of my half of the teeth , to do the crown, it cost more than $5000, That was a very disappoint

Dr lidums and staff made me feel extremely uncomfortable. There over priced assessment nearly 1500, was very invasive and embarrassing, hand balled from one staff member to the next, some of them students all trying to persuade me into all on 4 dentures which I dont need and refused to give me the treatment I do need(a couple crowns and a veneer) they kept saying they would get back to me with a treatment plan but never did not even a courteous call as to why, this must of happened a dozen times over some time. Im left feeling hopeless out of pocket and have more dental anxiety then ever

I have been going to Lidum's for over three years now and had a huge fear of Dentists but I can honestly say Wendy has made each and ever visit as calming and relaxing....She is what I call simply the best......and I suffer huge from dental anxiety.......she just is so caring and compassionate to me...I am lucky to have met someone who takes away my anxiety in the chair...Her professional standards and caring for her patients is outstanding.

Lidums Dental is a group of amazing people who have completely changed my life with my All On Four dental implants. I have new implants and couldn't imagine having gotten the anywhere else. The entire team is so friendly, helpful, caring and professional. I almost cry everytime I think about what life would still be like if it weren't for everyone at Lidums and the work they have done to my mouth. I am so happy and look forward to a long lasting relationship with Lidums Dental to keep my All On Four implants up to scratch and in great shape.

I had my 6 month hygiene visit with Joanne and she was amazing. She was gentle and very empathetic. She really understood my concerns and listened without making me feel silly. I suffer a lot from sensitivity, and she was able to provide really great advice on caring for my teeth to reduce sensitivity following my visit. Thanks Joanne, so glad youre on our Team!
