What to Expect from Your Local Dental Office in Edmonton

When you visit us at Aster Dental Centre in Edmonton, you can expect comfortable, clear, and patient-friendly care for individuals and families, including adults, children, and those with urgent dental needs. We are a family, general, emergency, cosmetic, restorative, and children’s dentistry practice located in the Aster neighbourhood of SE Edmonton, also serving Aster, Tamarack, Laurel, and Summerside. Our clinic delivers a wide range of dental services, including general dentistry, emergency care, children’s and family appointments, cosmetic treatments, restorative dentistry, orthodontics (including Invisalign), preventive care, CDCP and NIHB supported services.

Convenient Hours and Same-Day Appointments

We are open seven days a week with evening and weekend appointments available to fit your schedule. Same-day emergency dental appointments are frequently available and can be confirmed by phone.

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.
