Preparing for Your First Visit

When you arrive for your first visit, we recommend that you come at least 15 minutes early so we can review your information and ensure a smooth experience.

Please bring a government-issued photo ID, your dental insurance card and policy details (if you have insurance), a list of current medications and known allergies, and any previous dental records or X-rays if available.

Our Comfortable, Modern Office

Our friendly front desk team will welcome you to our modern, spacious, and fully accessible clinic, designed for your comfort from the waiting area to private treatment suites.

We offer amenities such as comfortable seating, complimentary refreshments, complimentary Wi-Fi, private suites, blankets, noise-cancelling headphones, aroma therapy, and ceiling-mounted screens in every treatment room.

Our clinic includes a dedicated children's area with engaging activities to help young patients feel excited and comfortable about visiting the dentist.

Meeting the Dental Team

At your first dental visit, you will meet one of our experienced dentists or hygienists who will listen to your concerns and answer your questions.

We begin with a comprehensive dental exam, which may include modern digital X-rays and an evaluation of your teeth, gums, jaw, and bite.

A professional dental cleaning is often provided at the first visit, where our hygienists remove stubborn plaque and tartar to help keep your smile healthy.

We offer oral cancer screening and periodontal assessments to ensure your full oral health is thoroughly checked.

Throughout your visit, our team explains every step in plain language so you feel informed and at ease.

Children’s First Dental Visit

If you are visiting for your child’s first dental appointment, we use gentle techniques and age-appropriate language to make the experience positive and help establish healthy habits.

We encourage parents to schedule their child’s first visit by their first birthday to help establish a dental home and ensure healthy development from the start.

We Support Anxious Dental Patients

If you have dental anxiety, we offer comfort amenities such as private rooms, weighted blankets, noise-cancelling headphones, and aromatherapy to help you relax.

We prioritize clear communication and individualized care, making sure every treatment plan is explained and tailored to your needs.

Smooth Records Transfer and Insurance Options

Transferring dental records to our office is easy, and our team coordinates everything for a smooth transition.

For payment, we offer direct insurance billing to most private plans, follow the Alberta Dental Association fee guide, and have flexible payment plans including PayBright financing.

We also welcome CDCP and NIHB patients and provide support in verifying your coverage before your appointment.

If You Need Urgent Dental Care

If you need emergency dental care, we offer same-day urgent care and walk-in appointments when possible, seven days a week.
