What to Bring and How to Prepare

To help your first visit go smoothly, we recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork. Please bring your dental insurance card, a list of any medications or supplements you are taking, and any relevant medical history.

If you have access to previous dental X-rays, bring them along, it helps us better assess your oral health and may reduce overall radiation exposure.

Let us know about any dental concerns, special needs, or anxieties you may have, we take extra care to help those who find dental visits challenging and offer sedation options when needed.

What Happens During Your First Visit

Your first visit typically lasts 60–90 minutes, giving us plenty of time for a thorough review, examination, and discussion.

We'll start with a warm welcome and get to know you by reviewing your health history and talking through your dental needs and goals. A comprehensive dental and medical history review forms the foundation for your care plan.

We will conduct a thorough clinical examination and take digital X-rays as needed to get a clear picture of your oral health. After the examination, we review our findings with you and discuss your treatment options so you can make informed choices.

No part of your care is rushed, and we do not proceed with any treatment without your understanding and consent.

We leave time for any questions you have, whether about your oral health, treatment options, comfort, or financial details.

First Visits for Children and Families

For children, early visits are gentle and focused on building comfort with dental care and monitoring development. We recommend a child’s first visit around age one, or within six months of the first tooth appearing, to start positive dental habits early. Our environment is child-friendly and welcoming for families.

We offer appointments for the whole family, often scheduling multiple family members together when possible for convenience.

Support for Your Needs and Concerns

We are committed to making dental care accessible, including direct insurance billing to most major insurers, acceptance of several government plans, and financial options based on the Alberta Dental Fee Guide.

Those with dental anxiety can talk to us about extra support, including sedation options such as nitrous oxide for adults and children.

We welcome patients with physical, cognitive, or sensory needs and will work with you to ensure a comfortable experience.

Your Personalized Treatment Plan

Following your initial assessment, we create a personalized treatment plan for you and make sure you know what to expect at every step. Our team believes that clear communication and a relationship built on trust are the keys to long-term oral health.
