We are committed to providing a gentle, patient-focused experience, with an emphasis on preventive care to help your family maintain healthy smiles for life.

Convenient Appointments and New Patient Welcome

We welcome new patients of all ages, including children, teens, and adults. Our Edmonton dental team provides direct insurance billing for most major plans for your convenience, and we are proud to participate in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). For busy families, we offer flexible evening and weekend appointments so you never need to miss work or school to visit us.

What Happens at Your First Visit

Your first appointment at Schonsee Dental usually includes a professional dental checkup and cleaning. This visit involves a comprehensive examination, gum health assessment, digital X-rays to spot hidden cavities or problems, an oral cancer screening, and a review of any existing dental work. We recommend regular visits every six months, allowing us to catch issues early and provide timely care. Each exam includes a personalized oral hygiene plan and education to support your long-term oral health.

Family-Focused Children’s Dentistry

Children’s dentistry at our clinic is gentle, positive, and educational, building healthy habits for a lifetime of confident smiles. We provide gentle cleanings, preventive treatments like fluoride and sealants, mouthguards for sports, space maintainers for early tooth loss, and nitrous oxide sedation for kids who feel nervous. Our approach includes behaviour-friendly pacing, family-friendly scheduling, and parent coaching to help your child feel comfortable at every visit. We recommend a child’s first dental visit by age one, or within six months of their first tooth.

Emergency Dental Care, When You Need It

Dental emergencies can happen at any time, which is why we offer same-day emergency appointments to provide fast relief and a clear next step. During an emergency appointment, our focus is to identify the problem, relieve pain, and help you understand what was done and what needs to happen next. We make comfort a priority, offering sedation for anxious children, flexible evening and weekend hours, and taking the time to explain everything so you never feel rushed.

Enhancing Your Smile with Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry

If you’re looking to improve the appearance of your smile, we offer cosmetic treatments such as professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, composite bonding, and gum contouring, using digital smile previews and clear fee estimates before you start. Our restorative services include dental implants, crowns, bridges, dentures, and tooth-coloured fillings, all designed to blend naturally with your smile and restore comfort and function.

Orthodontics for All Ages

We provide orthodontic solutions, including Invisalign clear aligners and traditional metal braces, for children, teens, and adults. Both options begin with digital scanning, a written treatment plan, and regular progress visits to guide you through your journey to a straighter smile.

Comfort for Anxious Patients

If dental visits make you nervous, know that we offer several sedation options, including nitrous oxide, to make your visit more comfortable. Our clinic environment and gentle approach are designed to put patients at ease, whatever their needs.

Modern Facility and a Dedicated Team

We use modern dental technology and our team stays up-to-date through ongoing professional development for advanced, effective care. Our friendly team believes in clear communication and compassionate care, helping patients of all ages feel at ease from the moment they arrive.

Welcoming Families in NW Edmonton and Beyond
