When it comes to your child’s health, finding the right dental care partner matters. As a family dental clinic located in NW Edmonton, we serve families and patients of all ages across Schonsee, the Lake District, 71 Street area, and beyond. Our welcoming environment is designed to put both kids and parents at ease, so every visit feels comfortable and positive.

Pediatric Dental Services for Infants Through Teens

We provide children's dentistry for infants right through to teens, with services that support your child's oral health at every stage. These include gentle dental exams, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, space maintainers, and mouthguards for sports protection. Everything is offered in one convenient location in NW Edmonton.

To set your child up for a lifetime of healthy smiles, we recommend their first visit by age one or within six months of their first tooth. Family-friendly scheduling and direct billing to many insurance plans make it easy for Edmonton families to access care.

Gentle and Educational Approach

Our philosophy is simple: gentle, fun, and educational care helps kids develop healthy oral habits that last. We tailor our approach to suit each child, using age-appropriate explanations and techniques to make every visit positive. Our parent coaching and behaviour-friendly pacing keep visits stress-free for everyone.

We want kids to feel confident in the dental chair, not just for today, but for years to come. Early visits are all about comfort and coaching, with a focus on positive experiences rather than just checking teeth.

Comfort-First Children's Dentistry

Children can feel nervous at the dentist, so we’ve created a space and an approach that help them feel safe. Our team offers nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas) for children who need extra support during visits, whether for routine exams or emergencies.

We explain every step in simple language and take breaks if needed. Our atmosphere is welcoming and gentle, designed to build trust and make dentistry a positive part of your child’s life.

Preventive and Restorative Care Under One Roof

From preventive cleanings and fluoride treatments to restorative solutions like space maintainers or sealants, we provide the full spectrum of care for children. This means you don’t need to visit multiple clinics, everything is available right here in NW Edmonton.

We also focus on oral health education for both kids and parents, with tips and coaching on brushing and flossing to prevent future issues.

Convenient Scheduling for Busy Families

Your family's schedule is busy, so we offer evening and Saturday appointments to help you fit dental care in without hassle. We are open five days a week, and our team is ready to accommodate those extra-early or late-day appointments many families need.

Accessible Emergency Care for Kids

If your child has a dental emergency, a toothache, a dental injury, or a sudden problem, we provide same-day appointments whenever possible. Our team is experienced in working with kids during urgent situations, moving at a pace they can handle, and making use of gentle sedation options for nervous or sensitive children.

For comfort and clear communication, we explain procedures in simple terms and ensure your child knows what to expect.

Direct Billing and Insurance Options

We accept direct billing for most major insurance plans and participate in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), making dental care more manageable for your family. Our office can explain your options and help with insurance questions.

If you prefer, you can also set up a free consultation to discuss your family's needs, learn more about our approach, and get to know our team. We often offer promotions for new families, such as a $50 Visa card with a new patient exam, x-rays, and cleaning.

Personal, Professional Care with a Focus on Community

Our team has years of experience serving Edmonton families, always with a warm and gentle approach to kids and nervous patients. Every member of our team pursues ongoing education to stay current on the latest dental techniques and technology.

As your neighbourhood family dentist, we are committed to delivering clinical excellence with a personal touch, clear communication, and treatment plans tailored to your needs and comfort.

We provide family care under one roof, so you can access a full spectrum of preventive and advanced treatments in one place.

We believe everyone deserves quality dental care, which is why we offer flexible financial options and strive to make dental care accessible and affordable for all families in Edmonton.
