Your next dental exam at All Smiles Dental Care in Calgary is designed to be comfortable and informative, whether you are a new or returning patient. As your family and general dentist in NW Calgary, we aim to make every visit as stress-free and helpful as possible. Here is what you can expect during your next checkup with us.
Our Approach: Dental Exams with Your General Dentist in Calgary
At All Smiles Dental Care in Calgary, our dental exams provide gentle, personalized care for people of all ages, including families, adults, children, seniors, and new patients. We offer dental exams, dental checkups, and dental cleanings as part of our general and family dentistry services in NW Calgary. Our clinic is located on Country Hills Blvd NW, with flexible appointment options, including evenings and Saturdays, to fit your schedule.
Booking Your Visit and Preparing
When you schedule your appointment, you can book online or by phone. We welcome new patients, including those who have not visited a dentist in a while, and children of all ages. When you first arrive, we ask new patients to complete forms, either ahead of time online or by arriving 15 minutes early at the clinic. Please bring your insurance card, photo ID, a list of your medications, and any previous dental records to your dental exam appointment.
What Happens During a Dental Exam?
Dental exams at our clinic are usually paired with a cleaning to check your teeth, gums, and mouth for problems and to remove the plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing leave behind. During your exam, one of our dentists carefully checks your teeth, gums, the soft tissues of your mouth, and existing dental work, looking for cavities, gum disease, signs of oral cancer, and problems with fillings or crowns.
We use digital X-rays when needed to see between teeth, bone loss, or issues under the gums, and utilize intraoral cameras so you can see your teeth on a screen during the exam. Not every visit requires X-rays; your general dentist will recommend them only as needed.
A routine dental exam may also include oral cancer screening, which we can provide using VELscope technology as part of your regular visit. After the exam, your dentist discusses any findings, reviews your treatment plan, and explains the next steps with you.
Dental Cleaning: What to Expect
Your cleaning visit removes plaque, tartar, and stains, polishes your teeth, checks your gums, and includes advice on brushing and flossing that fits your needs. Our family dental clinic welcomes children and adults, and we strive to make visits comfortable for nervous patients with sedation options including nitrous oxide and oral sedation.
Personalized Care and Technology
Every procedure at our clinic is performed by a general dentist, who takes time to explain your options and to create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. We use digital X-rays and intraoral cameras for accurate diagnosis and to help you see and understand your oral health.
Children and Family Dental Exams
Most people do well with a cleaning and checkup about every six months, but your dentist will recommend the right schedule based on your oral health. If you have gum disease or are prone to cavities, we may recommend visits every three to four months. Children’s visits help build good habits early, and regular checkups let us monitor how their teeth are developing.
If You Are Anxious or Have Special Concerns
If you are nervous about your visit, our dentists offer sedation options and are happy to discuss what would make you most comfortable. We strive to support each patient’s unique needs and to explain every option in plain language.
Insurance, Payment, and Flexible Appointments
We are open Monday through Saturday, with extended hours including evenings to suit busy schedules.
