The connection between oral health and overall health has never been more clear. As a result, we are committed to preventative care and want to help you maintain healthy teeth and gums for a lifetime, as well as keeping your teeth looking their whitest and brightest. The success of our clinic comes down to the amazing team that we have here at Rainy Lake Family Dental.
At Rainy Lake Family Dental we believe instrument sterilization is critical for both our staff and patients. For this reason, we have made our sterilization area a centerpiece of our office. Many dental offices still use an outdated layout where sterilization areas are often hidden away or placed "behind the scenes".

Most of our kids and teens prefer coloured braces. Nowadays a lot of kids find it FUN to wear braces. It's actually the elastic ties that attach to the wires that are coloured and we have more than 30 colours to choose from. Even better you can change your colours at every adjustment. Choose your school colours, go festive for holidays or twin up with your best friend.
A dental implant is a surgical grade titanium device designed to replace a natural tooth root. Upon it we can place an abutment that can hold a crown, bridge or denture. Implants will replace missing teeth as well as prevent further bone loss and help maintain adjacent teeth. Thorough treatment planning is required, to assess bone quality and quantity.
Veneers are a type of restoration placed on the surfaces of front teeth that change the colour and shape of the teeth. You can think of a veneer as being similar to an artificial fingernail that you can chemically bond to the tooth. Composite veneers are made out of white filling material and can be placed usually in one visit.
Stained teeth can frequently be whitened using at home bleaching trays that we fabricate in our office. Tea, red wine, coffee and tobacco are all agents that can stain teeth. The bleach that we use contains carbamide peroxide in a gel form that is placed in a custom tray that you wear at night. Typically, after seven days your teeth will lighten several shades.

Dr Mike Botsford is an incredible dentist
His voice is so calm and comforting
I had many extractions to get dentures and he did three at a time. I didn’t even know he pulled any and I was done. He freezes the teeth slowly and very well.
During Covid they allowed my husband in to comfort me! Incredible office. I highly recommend Dr. Mike

Rainy Lake Family Dental is hands the down the best dental office I have ever been to. The staff are all super friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. The office is state of the art, comfortable and top notch clean. The hygienist's and dentist's are all amazing with both adults and children. This is by far the best dental office in the Rainy River District!!

Family member had fillings done, after the numbing wore off they had some pain on the top of there mouth. Dentist was kind enough to see her the next day, then proceeded to charge us $100 for looking at what took him 10 min and , xray what he concluded was a cut from possibly biting a chip?... very poor customer appreciation for a family that just supported your business with a1000$ in a months time.

Terrible service. I had an infected wisdom tooth that had been bothering on a Thursday night, and had no choice but to wait until Friday to hopefully see someone. I was in an immense amount of pain, but upon talking to someone over the phone (I called right away the next morning) I received “oh the dentist isn’t in at all today. You haven’t been to see us in 5 years” in a fairly snarky tone of voice. So what, I haven’t been there in 5 years, I didn’t have a reason to and had no coverage. I told them my symptoms and described it as a paining wisdom tooth, the receptionist told me to
