Choosing the right general dentist in Edmonton is an important decision for your family’s long-term health and comfort. At Aster Dental Centre, we strive to make this choice clear and simple by offering a wide range of services, accessible hours, and a caring approach that welcomes families, children, and new patients of all ages. Here are some essential tips and insights to help you decide if we are the right fit for your family’s dental care needs.
Comprehensive Services for Every Family Member
We are a family, general, emergency, cosmetic, restorative, and children’s dentistry practice located in Edmonton. Our services are available to residents of Aster, Tamarack, Laurel, Summerside, and surrounding areas, making quality dental care convenient for your whole family. Our clinic offers general, family, emergency, children’s, cosmetic, restorative, orthodontic, and preventive dentistry, as well as government insurance support for CDCP and NIHB.
Convenient Hours and Same-Day Emergency Care
We understand that your schedule is busy, so we are open 7 days a week to ensure you can access dental care when you need it most. If you have a dental emergency, we offer same-day emergency care for situations such as severe pain, dental injuries, swelling, or lost restorations. Our aim is to provide prompt support to relieve discomfort and prevent further problems.
Welcoming New Patients With a Family Focus
We believe that everyone deserves high-quality dental care. New patients of all ages are welcome, and you do not need a referral to book your first visit with us. Our team focuses on comfortable, clear, and patient-friendly care, so every family member feels confident in their treatment.
Insurance and Payment Made Easier
Financial concerns should not stand in the way of your oral health. We direct-bill all major insurance providers and are a provider for both CDCP and NIHB, so you face less paperwork and easier visits. When you come in for a no-obligation consultation, you can ask about all your options without pressure.
Preventive Dental Care: The Foundation of Long-Term Health
Preventive dentistry is a key part of what we do, with regular checkups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and early detection aimed at keeping your smile healthy for life. Our dental check-ups include a full oral exam, digital X-rays if due, oral cancer screening, gum health assessment, and a personalized hygiene review. We use intraoral cameras so you can see exactly what we see, helping you make informed decisions about your oral health.
We track your risk profile and adjust the frequency of cleanings as needed. Most patients book a cleaning every six months, but we recommend more frequent visits in higher-risk cases.
Children's Dentistry Built on Comfort
We know a positive first experience can shape a child's attitude toward dental care for life. Our children's dentistry visits focus on gentle explanations, positive reinforcement, and short appointments to help young patients build confidence and feel safe. We are open 7 days a week and directly accept the CDCP for eligible children.
Preventive treatments for children include fluoride varnish applications and dental sealants, which are tailored to each child’s risk of cavities. For children who need extra support, we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation, keeping visits calm and fully monitored.
Support for Anxious or Special Needs Patients
Dental anxiety is common for adults and children alike. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation based on an initial consultation and your health history, so you can receive care in a comfortable and supportive environment.
Direct Billing, Benefit Verification, and Community Care
Our office provides direct billing and benefit verification for most major insurance plans, helping to remove any surprises and making it easier for you to focus on your family’s care. We are proud to support the oral health of families across Edmonton, Aster, Tamarack, Laurel, and Summerside.
