When you visit our family dental clinic in Edmonton, you can look forward to gentle, patient-centred care in a modern, welcoming environment. We are located in NW Edmonton in the Schonsee and Lake District area, at 16729 71 St NW, and serve families and patients of all ages, including children, teens, adults, and seniors.

Our Location and Who We Serve

Our clinic is conveniently situated near the Schonsee neighbourhood and the Lake District, serving NW Edmonton, Schonsee, Lake District, the 71 Street area, and North Edmonton. We strive to make every member of your family feel at home each time you visit us.

Our Approach to Dental Care

We combine gentle, patient-focused dentistry with advanced technology to provide preventive care, same-day emergency relief, and a range of treatments from Invisalign to dental implants and cosmetic smile enhancements. Our team prioritizes clear communication, so you always know your options and the steps of your care. You can expect professional, compassionate support every step of the way.

What Services Are Available?

We offer a full spectrum of dental services under one roof: general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, restorative care, dental implants, children's dentistry, orthodontics, emergency dental care, sedation dentistry, and gum disease treatment. Whether you are coming in for a checkup, a dental emergency, cosmetic treatment, or family dental care, we are here to help.

What Happens During a Typical Visit?

At your appointment, you may receive a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth, including a review of existing dental work and a gum health assessment. We use digital X-rays and perform an oral cancer screening as part of every exam. Routine checkups and cleanings help us catch problems early and keep your smile healthy.

Children’s Dental Care

We provide gentle, fun, and educational care for children of all ages, starting with their first visit by age one or within six months of their first tooth. Our goal is to help children feel comfortable and confident at the dentist. We use behaviour-friendly pacing, parent coaching, and offer fluoride treatments, sealants, mouthguards, and space maintainers for young patients. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available for kids who feel nervous or need extra comfort. Every visit is designed to support lifelong dental habits in a friendly, patient-centred space.

Frequency of Visits

For optimal dental health, we generally recommend visiting us every six months for a checkup and cleaning. These routine appointments allow us to spot potential issues early and keep your oral health on track.

Your Comfort and Options for Nervous Patients

If you or your child experiences dental anxiety, let us know. We offer sedation options, including nitrous oxide, and always take extra time to ensure your experience is as calm and positive as possible. Our compassionate team explains each procedure step-by-step and moves at a pace you are comfortable with.

Handling Emergencies and After-Hours Care

We welcome same-day emergency appointments and urgent walk-ins. Our clinic provides evening and weekend hours to help suit your family’s schedule. At an emergency visit, we begin with a fast triage and focused exam so your main concern is addressed first, whether it’s pain relief or another urgent issue. You will leave your visit understanding what was found, what treatment was done, and the plan for any follow-up care.

Our Team and Commitment to Excellence

Our dentists and hygienists maintain the highest level of certification and stay current with the latest techniques and technology through ongoing training. We believe in transparency, providing clear explanations of treatments, costs, and what to expect, so you never face surprises. Every treatment plan is unique to you and your comfort, and we combine clinical excellence with personal care for your whole family.

Insurance, Direct Billing, and New Patient Information

We bill directly to most major insurance providers, accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan, and welcome new families with open arms. Our clinic follows the Alberta Dental Fee Guide for pricing and offers free no-obligation consultations. New patients are also eligible for promotions, like a $50 Visa card with a new exam, X-rays, and cleaning.
