Our promise

Three things we sort
before you sit down.

In pain?

Seen within two hours.

Call ahead during business hours and we'll fit you in the same afternoon — most days, much sooner.

Anxious?

Sedation, on request.

Laughing gas or oral sedation for patients who'd rather sleep through urgent treatment. You're awake, but comfortable.

Cost concerns?

Free written estimate.

We bill insurance directly, our fees sit below the Alberta Dental Fee Guide, and we offer interest-friendly payment plans for anything left over.

*Two-hour same-day promise applies during business hours. After hours, leave a message and we’ll return your call first thing.

Need a dentist fast?

Pick up the phone —
we'll do the rest.

An appointment isn't necessary in the event of an emergency. Walk-ins are welcome and emergency dental care is given right away. We're open seven days a week, with late evenings Monday through Thursday.

Walk-ins welcome

No appointment? No problem. Stop by during business hours and we'll fit you in — most days, much sooner than two hours.

Sedation on request

Laughing gas or oral sedation for anxious patients or longer treatment. You stay awake but comfortable; many patients don't remember the visit at all.

Children's emergencies

Knocked-out front teeth, chipped corners, orthodontic wires poking the cheek — paediatric emergencies seen the same day, in a calm operatory built for kids.

Common signs

When something feels off,
don’t wait it out.

Most dental emergencies are easier and cheaper to treat the sooner they’re caught. Here are the signs we’d rather see today than next week.

Call 780-484-3931
01

Severe toothache

Persistent or radiating pain usually points to infection or a deep cavity reaching the nerve. Diagnosis and relief on the same visit — usually with a filling, root canal, or extraction depending on what we find.

02

Chipped or fractured tooth

If a piece breaks off, save it in milk or saline and call us right away. Bonding, a crown, or a porcelain restoration can rebuild the tooth on the same day in most cases.

03

Knocked-out tooth

Place the tooth back in its socket if you can; otherwise, store it in milk and come straight in. Reimplantation is most successful within the first hour.

04

Dental abscess

Swelling, fever, or a bad taste in the mouth can signal infection that's spreading. We'll drain pressure, prescribe antibiotics if appropriate, and plan definitive treatment.

05

Lost filling or crown

Even when there's no pain, exposed tooth structure decays quickly. Bring the piece in if you have it — we can often re-cement on the same visit.

06

Swollen jaw or face

Facial swelling combined with fever, difficulty breathing, or trouble swallowing is urgent. Call us immediately — or proceed to emergency if symptoms are severe.

07

Bleeding, aching gums

Persistent bleeding after brushing or flossing is an early sign of gum disease and shouldn't be ignored. We'll diagnose the cause and start treatment the same week.

08

Sports & impact injuries

Loose teeth, displaced jaws, soft-tissue lacerations from a hit during sport or an accident — assessed and treated quickly to preserve the tooth long-term.

What we treat

The most common urgent
visits we see.

Most urgent visits are resolved in a single appointment so you walk out without lingering pain. Here's what we end up doing most days.

Same-visit fillings

For severe toothache or fractured teeth, a composite filling can restore function and seal the nerve in one appointment.

Emergency root canal

When infection has reached the pulp, a root canal relieves pain and saves the tooth from extraction.

Extractions

When a tooth is beyond saving, we extract gently and walk you through replacement options — implants, bridges, or partial dentures.

In an emergency

Call us first.
We’ll go from there.
