Absolutely! We have comfortable indoor and outdoor waiting areas. Treatment rooms are a bit limited in space, but we’ll do our best to accommodate anyone who needs to be with you during your appointment.
That’s completely okay. We understand that life just takes its course! We’d love to welcome you for a new patient visit, including a gentle examination and cleaning. We’ll take the time to listen to your concerns and assess your oral health, then create a personalized treatment plan that works for you. Our goal is to help you feel comfortable, supported, and confident as you get back on track with your dental care.
General dentistry covers a broad range of services including checkups, cleanings, fillings, and preventative care. It encompasses all aspects of dentistry, with a focus on maintaining your oral health and catching issues early before they become more serious.
A typical visit includes a full dental exam, professional cleaning, and any necessary digital X-rays and 3D scans. We'll discuss any findings, answer your questions, and provide care recommendations.
Regular visits help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. They also allow us to monitor any changes and provide early treatment when needed. We recommend visiting every 6 months for a routine exam and cleaning, unless advised otherwise based on your individual needs.
We see patients of all ages. Everyone is welcome!
Absolutely! We’re happy to schedule family visits to make things easier for busy households.
Talk positively about the visit, bring a favourite toy, and let us know if it’s your child’s first time. Our team takes things slowly and uses a gentle, reassuring approach to help children feel safe and calm. We often encourage no-treatment visits so your child can get comfortable in the office and with our team before any procedures.
It's a deep cleaning treatment that removes plaque and bacteria from below the gum line to help prevent and treat gum disease.
Most people benefit from a cleaning every 6 months, but we may recommend more frequent visits depending on your needs.
It’s a gum infection that can damage the bone around your teeth if left untreated. Early care can help prevent or manage it and maintain the foundation that supports your teeth.
It’s a treatment that targets areas below the gum line to remove harmful bacteria and help stop gum disease from getting worse.
With active gum disease, bacteria can build up deep below the gums, where brushing and flossing can’t reach.
It depends on your needs, but many patients benefit from treatments every 3–4 months to manage gum health.
Severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, swelling, or signs of infection are all reasons to seek urgent dental care. Call us at (403) 261-8855 right away!

Common signs include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or tenderness near the affected tooth. A proper exam and X-ray can confirm if a root canal is needed.
Most patients say the procedure feels similar to getting a filling. We use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable, and most patients feel relief after the procedure, not pain.
Saving your natural tooth helps maintain proper chewing, alignment, and overall dental health. In most cases, a root canal is less invasive and more cost-effective than extraction followed by a replacement.
Bruxism is when you grind or clench your teeth, often during sleep. It can cause headaches, jaw pain, and wear down your teeth over time.
Signs include jaw soreness, headaches, worn teeth, or your partner hearing grinding noises at night. We can help diagnose it during your visit.
Custom appliances protect your teeth from damage and reduce jaw tension, helping to relieve pain and prevent further problems.
It’s a high-tech scanner that takes quick, accurate 3D images of your teeth without using putty, making the process easier and more comfortable for you.
No, the scanning process is quick and completely comfortable. Unlike traditional impressions that use messy putty, the iTero scanner uses a gentle digital wand that captures detailed images without causing gagging or discomfort.
It provides highly precise and detailed images of your teeth and gums, which allows us to create dental restorations (like crowns, bridges, or aligners) that fit more accurately. This precision reduces the need for adjustments, making your treatments smoother and more comfortable. It also helps monitor changes in gum recession, tooth movement, and tooth wear, so we can provide appropriate treatment to prevent further deterioration.
Advanced dentistry includes specialized treatments such as dental implants, porcelain veneers, TMJ therapy, Invisalign® clear aligners, and other personalized solutions that go beyond routine care.
We’ll start with a thorough consultation to understand your goals, oral and overall health, and any concerns. From there, we’ll explain your options and recommend the best advanced treatments tailored to your needs, so you can make informed decisions.
You can expect personalized care tailored to your needs. Our team will explain each step clearly, use the latest technology for comfort and precision, and focus on achieving the best possible results for your health and appearance. We’re here to support you throughout the process and answer any questions you have along the way.
We provide a range of treatments including teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding, and injectables like Botox® to enhance your smile and facial appearance. Invisalign® is also a great, non-invasive way to straighten your smile.
We start with a thorough assessment of your oral health and personal goals, then recommend personalized options that help you feel more confident, comfortable, and truly yourself.
The lifespan of cosmetic dentistry results depends on the procedure and your oral care routine. For instance, teeth whitening may last from several months up to a few years, while veneers and dental implants can last 10 to 15 years or even a lifetime when properly maintained.
CEREC restorations are custom-made ceramic crowns, inlays, and onlays created right in our clinic using advanced technology. They are designed to match your natural teeth in colour and shape.
The entire procedure can be completed in a single visit, eliminating the need for multiple appointments or temporary restorations.
Yes, they are strong and long-lasting, providing a reliable way to restore damaged or weakened teeth with a natural appearance.
TMJ stands for Temporomandibular Joint, which is the hinge connecting your jaw to your skull. TMD refers to Temporomandibular Disorders, a group of conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in this joint and the surrounding muscles.
Conditions such as TMJ disorders, bruxism (teeth grinding), and dental infections can contribute to migraines by causing pain and tension in the jaw and facial muscles, which may trigger or intensify migraine headaches. Treatment focuses on relieving jaw tension and correcting bite alignment through custom appliances, muscle relaxation techniques, and sometimes bite adjustments.
Most treatments are non-invasive and designed to reduce pain and discomfort, helping you feel relief without surgery or harsh procedures.
Invisalign® is a clear, comfortable way to straighten your teeth without braces. We use a custom series of removable aligners to gently guide your teeth into better position. Each set is made just for you and changed out every week based on a plan you create with the doctor. Because the aligners are nearly invisible and easy to wear, you can move through treatment with comfort and confidence.
Invisalign® is ideal for mild to moderate alignment issues like crowding, gaps, or bite problems. A consultation with Dr. Kellen Smith or Dr. Marie-Catherine French will help determine if it’s the right fit for you.
No, Invisalign® can be an option for teens and even some pre-teens too, depending on their stage of dental development. The best way to know if it’s right for your child is to book a consultation to assess their oral health needs.
Invisalign® aligners are clear, removable, and often considered more comfortable than metal braces. Because you can take them out to eat and brush, they make it easier to maintain your routine and enjoy everyday life during treatment.
Sedation dentistry can help patients who feel anxious or fearful about dental treatment. It reduces stress and discomfort and makes it possible to complete more complex or lengthy procedures in fewer appointments. For patients with a strong gag reflex or difficulty sitting still for long periods, sedation can make dental care much more manageable and comfortable.
There are different types of sedation available depending on your needs and the procedure. At our office, we offer oral sedation. Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed pill before your visit to help you feel calm and deeply relaxed. If you’d like to know if it’s right for you, just ask!
During your procedure, sedation will help you feel calm, relaxed, and in some cases drowsy or unaware of the details. The level of awareness will vary based on the type of sedation used. Afterward, it’s normal to feel a bit groggy or disoriented as the medication wears off. You’ll need someone to drive you home, and it’s best to rest for the remainder of the day. We will provide you clear post-sedation instructions to help ensure a smooth and safe recovery.
Most people with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates. We’ll assess your goals and oral health first to make sure whitening is safe and effective.
Yes. If you have sensitive teeth, we can adjust the strength of the treatment or use desensitizing agents to help minimize discomfort. We’ll always recommend the safest option based on your dental and medical history.
With good oral hygiene and a few simple lifestyle habits, like limiting coffee or red wine, your whitening results can last anywhere from several months to a few years. Occasional touch-ups can help maintain brightness over time.
Implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or denture. If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants can help restore both function and confidence. They’re designed to feel secure, look natural, and support long-term oral health.
Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. We’ll assess your oral health, bone structure, and medical history to determine if implants are the right option for you.
The full process can take several months, depending on your needs. It typically involves placement of the implant, a healing period for the bone to integrate, and then placement of the crown or restoration.
Yes, dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. Once healed, most people can eat, speak, and smile, often forgetting they even have an implant.
Porcelain veneers offer a simple, lasting way to enhance the look of your smile. They can improve the shape, size, and colour of your teeth, helping to address chips, gaps, discolouration, or uneven edges with a natural-looking finish.
Veneers can improve chipped, discolored, uneven, or gapped teeth, giving your smile a natural and balanced appearance.
Accidents can happen, however with proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or more before needing replacement.
The process involves removing a small amount of enamel to fit the veneers, but it’s generally comfortable and minimally invasive when done by an experienced dentist.
Dental Botox® is commonly used to relieve symptoms of bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMJ disorders by relaxing the muscles that cause tension and pain. It can also soften wrinkles and fine lines around the forehead, eyes, and brow for a smoother appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Kellen Smith or Dr. Marie-Catherine French will assess your needs and health to determine if this treatment is a good fit.
The treatment is quick, typically lasting about 10 to 20 minutes. Most patients begin to notice improvements in muscle tension and wrinkle reduction within a few days to two weeks after the procedure.
Yes, Dental Botox® is safe when administered by a licensed professional like Dr. Kellen Smith or Dr. Marie-Catherine French. Treatments are carefully planned and precisely administered to ensure comfort and minimize any potential side effects.
If you’re missing one or more teeth and have healthy teeth or implants on either side of the gap, you may be a great candidate for a dental bridge. During your consultation, Dr. Kellen Smith or Dr. Marie-Catherine French will assess your needs and health to determine if this treatment is a good fit.
A dental bridge fills the gap left by missing teeth using one or more artificial teeth, anchored in place by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or implants. It restores your bite and helps keep surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, a bridge can last 10-15 years or more. Proper care helps protect the surrounding teeth and ensure the bridge remains strong and stable.
Gum grafting is often recommended if your gums have receded, exposing the roots of your teeth. This can reduce sensitivity, protect your teeth from further damage, and improve the appearance of your smile.
We use advanced techniques and local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. You may feel some tenderness during healing, but we’ll provide clear aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.
Most patients heal within 1 to 2 weeks, though it can vary slightly depending on the extent of the graft. We'll check in with you regularly and make sure you're healing well every step of the way.
