What to Expect from Your Family Dental Clinic in Edmonton

By Summit Dental Edmonton TeamOctober 3, 20263 min read

When you’re looking for a family dental clinic in Edmonton, it helps to know what awaits you at your first visit and beyond. We want you to feel at home, whether you’re bringing in your children for their first cleaning, booking emergency care, or looking for a new dental home for yourself in West Edmonton.

Who We Are and Who We Serve

We are a family, general, emergency, cosmetic, restorative, and sedation dentistry practice in West Edmonton, serving Stony Plain Road, Jasper Place, Grovenor, Glenora, Mayfield, and Canora. Our clinic offers a full range of dental services for children, adolescents, and adults all under one roof.

Our Approach to Family Dentistry

New patients are always welcome, and we know busy families need flexibility. That’s why we’re open seven days a week, offering both weekday evenings and weekend appointments to suit your schedule.

You’ll find a team focused on comfortable, clear care for everyone. We take time to explain, plan, and make sure you leave knowing the next steps, no rushing, and no feeling left in the dark.

What Happens at Your First Visit?

Your first appointment usually takes about an hour. When you arrive, we begin with a short intake at the front desk. We’ll then take you back for X-rays, an oral cancer screening, a hygiene appointment, and a thorough dental exam. With every check-up, we include a short, painless oral cancer screening.

Creating a Child-Friendly Experience

Dental visits do not have to be stressful for kids. Children of all ages are at home in our practice, our waiting area has gaming consoles for kids, and we've created a calm, gentle space to help young patients feel safe. For parents, it’s comfortable knowing all your family’s needs are looked after in one place.

Routine and Preventive Care

We encourage twice-yearly hygiene visits, X-rays, and exams to catch and address concerns early. This preventive approach helps keep small dental problems from becoming bigger issues down the line.

Cosmetic and Restorative Options

Many families appreciate having cosmetic options available alongside preventive care. We include complimentary in-office whitening for adults with every check-up, and can provide veneers, bonding, contouring, and Invisalign if you wish. Our restorative care includes crowns, bridges, dentures, dental implants, and only mercury-free fillings using composite or ceramic materials.

Specialty Treatments and Emergency Care

If you or your child experience jaw pain, grinding, or sports-related needs, we offer custom night and sport guards, as well as TMJ diagnosis and treatment.

We provide same-day emergency appointments, call ahead during business hours and, in most cases, we can see you the same afternoon. For anxious patients or longer procedures, both oral and inhaled sedation are available, and you only need to mention your preference when booking.

Costs, Insurance, and Billing

We understand the importance of affordability. We direct-bill most insurance plans, so you only pay the portion your plan doesn’t cover at the end of your visit, if any. Our fees are consistently below the Alberta Dental Fee Guide, and for larger or longer-term treatment plans we give you a clear written estimate before starting.

Getting Here and Booking Your Visit

We are located at 14965 Stony Plain Rd NW, Edmonton, AB T5P 4W1, just off Stony Plain Road with free parking and easy access for West Edmonton residents.

When you’re ready to book, or if you have questions for us, call 780-484-3931. We’re here to make dental care comfortable, easy, and welcoming for families across Edmonton and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
