General Dentistry in Edmonton
Reliable General Dentistry Services in Edmonton
Focused on quality, comfort, and affordability, our team provides exceptional dentistry services for our patients. As a locally owned and operated dental clinic, we take every appointment seriously. Your dental health, and that of your family, is our primary concern. With over 20 years of experience, we are proud to offer you a host of dental services to keep your oral health in check.
Professional Dental Cleanings
Our highly trained dental hygienists make sure you always get the highest quality dental cleanings. After a dental exam, our hygienists will get to work removing calculus, aka hardened plaque, from your teeth. It’s important to remove this invisible colony of bacteria to avoid periodontal disease. We will then provide teeth polishing, which prevents tooth discoloration.
You can trust our hygienists to ensure your teeth are healthy and beautiful with regular teeth cleanings.

You are welcome to contact us about our appointments, exams, and our procedure options that may be right for you.
Dental X-Rays for Better Oral Health
For comprehensive oral health, you need dental x-rays. At our clinic, we provide dental x-rays to see what lurks beneath the surface of your mouth. This allows us to examine your jawline, teeth, and soft tissues more thoroughly. It is also the best way to detect cavities, bone loss, and wisdom teeth that are invisible to the naked eye. Our process is fast and pain-free, and our dentists access images instantly while you’re in the office.
Restorative Dental Crowns
Another area we specialize in is dental crowns. Dental crowns are widely used in dental restoration. They cover damaged teeth, which are often caused by a cavity. We fasten them to your tooth to ensure long-term protection from further tooth decay.
General Dentist vs. Specialist: What's the Difference?
A general dentist is your dental home base, the provider you see for routine exams, cleanings, fillings, and preventive care on a regular basis. A specialist, on the other hand, focuses on one specific area of dentistry after completing additional years of training beyond dental school. Common specialists include endodontists for root canals, periodontists for gum disease, oral surgeons for extractions and jaw surgery, and orthodontists for braces and clear aligners.
Our general dentists at Edmonton Smiles handle the vast majority of dental problems you'll encounter, from a routine checkup to a filling to a same-day crown. When a case calls for a specialist, such as a complex root canal or an impacted wisdom tooth extraction, we'll refer you to a trusted colleague and coordinate your care so nothing falls through the cracks.
