About General and Family Dentistry
At Martindale Smiles, we believe a healthy smile is more than appearance. It is a reflection of your overall well-being. Our team of dedicated dentists and hygienists provides general and family dentistry for Northeast Calgary residents of every age, from a child's first visit to routine care for parents and grandparents.
General dentistry is the foundation of good oral health. It covers the exams, cleanings and screenings that catch small problems early, so you can avoid more complex treatment later. Our approach focuses on prevention and healing rather than only treating disease, and we take the time to explain every step so you always understand your options.
If you are searching for a family dentist in NE Calgary who is accepting new patients, we would be glad to welcome you and your loved ones.
Our General and Family Dental Services
Every general and family service below is designed to protect your teeth and gums, catch concerns early and keep your whole family comfortable. Select a service to read the full details.
Dental Cleaning and Check-Ups
Routine dental exams and professional cleanings keep your teeth and gums healthy and help us spot cavities, gum disease and other concerns early. We recommend visiting at least twice a year. Each visit includes a thorough exam, digital X-rays when needed and a gentle cleaning that removes the plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing cannot reach.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screening is a quick, painless check of your mouth, tongue, throat and neck for early signs of oral cancer and precancerous changes. Finding changes early gives you the best chance of successful treatment. Ask our team about including a screening in your next visit.
Night Guards and Sports Guards
Custom-fitted guards protect your teeth from the damage caused by nighttime grinding and clenching, as well as from impact injuries during sports. Unlike over-the-counter options, a custom guard is made from impressions of your own teeth for a comfortable, secure fit. We provide guards for both adults and children.
