Preventive dentistry is the foundation of our practice, helping families stay proactive about oral health through routine exams, cleanings, and treatments for all ages. Preventive care is about addressing small dental issues before they become bigger, more complicated, or costly problems, and it supports improved oral health for your entire family.

What Preventive Dentistry Includes for Families

We provide comprehensive preventive dental care, including fluoride treatments and sealants for children to protect developing teeth, regular professional cleanings, oral cancer screenings for adults, and guidance on brushing, flossing, and diet.

Our preventive services are designed to catch small problems early, making them simpler and less costly to address.

Routine checkups and professional cleanings are essential in detecting potential issues, reducing cavity risk, and maintaining gum health, helping your family enjoy strong, healthy smiles.

How Preventive Dentistry Helps Children

For children, preventive dentistry includes regular exams, cleanings, digital X-rays when needed, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to protect against cavities.

Preventive care supports building positive dental habits and confidence for children, making each visit educational, gentle, and comfortable so that your child grows to feel at home at the dentist.

We offer a calm, family-friendly environment for all visits, including preventive care, to encourage healthy habits and reduce dental anxiety.

Guidance on Healthy Habits for All Ages

We serve patients of all ages, providing guidance on proper brushing techniques, flossing, and tooth-friendly food choices at every visit. Our clear communication and practical tips help parents model good habits, supporting confident, health-conscious children and adults.

Even with good home care, plaque and tartar can build up in areas a toothbrush can't reach, so regular professional cleanings remain a vital part of every family's routine.

Extra Protection with Fluoride and Sealants

We will assess which teeth would benefit from these treatments and explain options clearly, so every child’s smile gets the appropriate level of care.

Preventive Dentistry for Adults

Our preventive care extends to adults as well, with regular cleanings and exams that check for cavities, gum disease, and even oral cancer. Oral cancer screenings are always included as part of our preventive services for adults, offering the benefit of early detection.

We recommend most patients, including children, come in for a cleaning and exam every six months, though we may tailor the schedule for individual needs.

Convenient, Accessible Preventive Care

We offer gentle, patient-centred care in a calm environment to help children and anxious patients feel comfortable during their preventive dentistry visits.

Many preventive treatments, such as cleanings, sealants, and fluoride treatments, are covered by most insurance plans and we offer direct billing to make payment easy.

Our clinic is open seven days a week from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, making it easier for families to book preventive dental appointments that fit their schedules.

What to Expect at Your Family’s Visit

During your family's preventive dental visits, we will always explain options clearly, listen to your concerns, and build a care plan that suits your needs and comfort. We welcome open conversations about any worries or questions you may have.

We serve communities across Cornerstone, Cornerbrook, NE Calgary, Redstone, Skyview Ranch, Cityscape, Livingston, and Saddle Ridge.
