From Your First Visit to Ongoing Care

From your first visit to your final result, our goal is a seamless, comfortable experience built around your needs. We accept new patients for all services, including general and family dentistry, emergency care, children’s dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, restorative treatments, orthodontic care, sedation dentistry, TMJ therapy, and sleep apnea appliances. We offer same-day emergency appointments and walk-in emergency care during office hours.

If you experience a dental emergency, you can call us and receive a complimentary emergency assessment by phone to triage your issue and determine the urgency.

What Happens During a Typical Visit?

A typical family visit includes a full exam, teeth cleaning, and oral cancer screening as part of your regular checkup. For younger patients, we take extra time to make visits comfortable and low stress, building positive dental habits early. For older family members, we monitor for age-related concerns like gum health and tooth wear over time. Every visit is tailored to that individual family member's stage of life, not a one size fits all approach.

If your child is visiting for the first time, the appointment includes a visual examination, behaviour assessment, and possibly X-rays. First visits for children are intentionally brief and friendly, we may defer a cleaning to a follow-up appointment so your child can build a comfortable relationship with us before treatment. We make children's dental care approachable and comfortable, from the first tooth through the teenage years.

Insurance, Billing, and Affordability

We offer direct billing to most major Alberta dental insurance providers, including CDCP and NIHB support for those who qualify. For questions about your coverage or eligibility, you can call us before your appointment and we can verify your plan details. We bill insurance directly and collect any remaining balance at the time of treatment.

We follow the recommended Alberta Dental Association fee guide, keeping our pricing fair and transparent.

Comfort for Every Patient: Sedation and Anxiety-Free Options

We offer sedation options, IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide, to help every patient feel comfortable during their visit. If you face unexpected dental pain, swelling, chipped teeth, or other emergencies, we’re equipped to provide urgent care the same day. Calling ahead helps us prepare for your specific situation and get you seen faster.

Efficient Appointments and Little Waiting

Our appointment system is designed to avoid unnecessary wait times, seeing you promptly by appointment. We offer complimentary, no-obligation consultations for dental implants and free phone triage for emergencies.

All Services Under One Roof

We offer general and preventive care, including routine exams, cleanings, X-rays, and night guards. For families looking for one dentist for every age, our dedicated care plans range from a child's first visit to senior dental health. We provide cosmetic services such as porcelain veneers, whitening, and composite bonding.

Orthodontic options include Invisalign clear aligners and traditional braces for teens and adults. For restorative treatments, we offer crowns, bridges, dental implants, dentures, and other solutions for missing or damaged teeth.

Personalized Approach for Your Smile

We develop each treatment plan around your needs through careful records, examination, and diagnosis. We focus on listening to your unique needs, explaining every procedure, and making every visit as relaxed as possible.
