What Does General Dentistry Include?
Our general dentistry includes dental exams and checkups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, gum disease treatment, root canal therapy, tooth extractions, and more. Everything you need to maintain and protect your family’s oral health is available under one roof.
Why Routine Visits Matter
Regular visits allow us to detect issues like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer early on, helping to prevent small dental problems from becoming more serious or costly treatments. Professional cleanings remove tartar and plaque buildup, support gum health, and contribute to fresher breath. During your general checkups, we use digital X-rays and oral cancer screenings as part of our thorough exams to protect your smile.
Many dental problems do not cause pain or obvious symptoms until they are more advanced, so it’s important to stay on track with routine care, even if you feel fine. We never judge anyone who hasn’t been to the dentist in years; our focus is always on helping you move forward with confidence.
How Often Should You Come?
Most adults benefit from a professional cleaning every six months. Some people with higher plaque buildup or gum disease may need cleanings more frequently. We will always recommend the right schedule for you, based on your initial exam and ongoing needs.
Dental Anxiety and Sedation Dentistry
If you experience dental anxiety or have concerns about treatment comfort, we offer sedation dentistry options to help you relax and receive care confidently and comfortably.
Prevention and Fluoride
Preventive care is central to general dentistry at our Calgary clinic. Fluoride treatments are part of our service, strengthening tooth enamel and reducing the risk of cavities, especially effective for children, teens, and adults with sensitive or cavity-prone teeth.
Gum Disease Detection and Support
Gum disease can be managed with ongoing care. If we find signs of gum disease, we will create a personalised maintenance plan for you, which can include more frequent hygiene appointments and support for long-term control.
Restorative and Emergency Dental Care
We restore damaged or missing teeth with fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, dental implants, and more. Emergency dental care is available, with dedicated time reserved every day to help you quickly if urgent needs arise.
Insurance, Payment, and Special Offers
We know that payment options matter. New patients can also ask about complimentary whitening kits or electric toothbrushes. We are happy to help verify your coverage prior to your visit.
Our Multilingual, Neighbourhood-Focused Team
Our team is multilingual, we speak six languages, and every patient is treated with warmth and respect. At our 17th Avenue SW clinic, you’ll find free parking and extended hours, with appointments six days a week, including Saturdays.
