Your Comfort and Experience Matter
Our team is dedicated to making every dental visit as comfortable, clear, and stress-free as possible. We believe dental care should be easy for you and your family, and we welcome new patients of all ages.
What Happens at Your First Visit
Your first visit includes a warm welcome, a review of your health information and any concerns, and a full oral exam. This may include digital X-rays (when due), an oral cancer screening, a gum health assessment, and a personalized hygiene review.. Khushali Bhanushali, DDS, will review findings with you before any cleaning or treatment begins, ensuring you receive a clear explanation with no surprises. Most adult check-ups and cleanings usually take 45 to 60 minutes. We use intraoral cameras so you can see exactly what we see and make informed decisions about your care.
Routine Care, Pricing, and Insurance
Our office direct-bills insurance, including support for CDCP and NIHB plans, but we encourage verifying coverage before your appointment.
Children’s Dental Visits
Children are welcome for their very first dental visit, with appointments adapted to their age and comfort, including gentle techniques and calm explanations. The Canadian Dental Association recommends a child’s first dental visit around their first birthday or when the first tooth comes in, and our team focuses on comfort and establishing positive habits early. We offer flexible booking, including evenings and weekends for busy families in Tamarack and SE Edmonton.
Sedation and Anxiety Management
We provide sedation options for anxious patients or those requiring more complex treatments; nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation are available for both adults and children where appropriate.
Emergency Dental Care
If you have an urgent dental concern like severe pain, broken teeth, lost fillings, or abscesses, you can call us for same-day appointments, it’s often much faster than a hospital ER for these types of issues. Our emergency exams typically range from $75 to $200 CAD, and we direct-bill most major Canadian insurers.
Restorative and Cosmetic Options
We offer dental crowns and bridges, tooth-coloured fillings, dental implants, periodontal therapy, root canal treatment, and teeth whitening. Each treatment recommendation is made after a full assessment and discussed clearly with you, so you understand the options and next steps.
