Step 01
Say hello
Call (403) 651-0007 or send a note through the form on our home page. We'll find a time that suits you and your family.
New Patients
Your first visit. Nothing to dread.
Here's exactly what to expect — no surprises, no pressure, just an unhurried hello from a small team that's glad you came.
"Switching dentists — or walking back in after a long while — can feel like a big step. So we built the first visit around one thing: getting to know each other. No rush, no sales pitch. Just a real conversation about your smile and what matters to you."

Step 02
Come up the porch
Arrive about 10 minutes early for a short health-history form — we'll have it ready. Bring your insurance card and photo ID.

Exam and a real conversation
Digital X-rays, a thorough look, then we sit down and go through what we found in plain language — no jargon, no rush. You'll see everything on screen.

What's included in a first visit
- Comprehensive oral examination

Nervous about visiting?
You're not alone. Dental anxiety is one of the most common reasons people put off care — and we completely understand. Here's how we help.
Tell us how you're feeling
Say so when you book or when you arrive — we hear it every day and never judge. Six months or sixteen years since your last visit, you'll get the same patience.
You set the pace
Want a break? Raise your hand and we stop. Want more explanation before we go on? We'll take the time. Your comfort sets the schedule, not the other way round.
The same faces every time
Three chairs, one dentist, and a small team you'll actually get to know. Familiar faces make nervous visits a whole lot easier.
What makes us different
Unhurried appointments
We don't double-book or rush. Your slot is yours — enough time for a thorough exam, your questions, and a real conversation.
Small team, familiar faces
You won't meet a different face every visit. We remember your name, your history — and the names of your kids and dogs.
No financial surprises
We confirm your insurance, explain costs up front, and never start treatment without your go-ahead.
Easy to find

Insurance & payment
We direct-bill most major Canadian insurance providers, so you only pay your portion at the time of your visit. No insurance? You'll get a clear estimate before any treatment begins — no surprise bills, ever.

Your first visit is about getting to know each other. Zero pressure, zero judgement — just honest care from a team that's happy to have you.
