Choosing a family dental clinic for your children means finding a practice that offers convenience, a full range of services, accessibility, and a welcoming atmosphere for all ages. At Royal Oak Smiles, we provide family, general, emergency, cosmetic, restorative, children’s, and sedation dentistry for our neighbours in NW Calgary, including Royal Oak, Rocky Ridge, Tuscany, Arbour Lake, Citadel, Scenic Acres, and Nolan Hill.
Our clinic welcomes families, adults, children, and seniors, and provides emergency dental care in a comfortable, personal, and stress-free setting. Every treatment is tailored to the specific needs and comfort of each family member in a gentle, child-friendly environment.
Serving Families at Every Stage
We serve as one trusted dental team for every member of your household, from a child’s first visit to ongoing care for adults and seniors, all under one roof. Our three dentists offer the flexibility and experience to treat every age group, from a toddler’s first dental visit through senior dental care. This continuity means your family's dental history, concerns, and preferences are known and remembered, visit after visit.
When Should Your Child First Visit?
We recommend an initial dental exam for your child by their first tooth or first birthday, whichever comes first. For most children, we recommend visiting every six months for a checkup and cleaning, though we may advise more frequent visits if your child is at higher risk for cavities.
First visits are intentionally brief and friendly. We focus on building a comfortable relationship with your child, often deferring cleanings to a follow-up appointment so your child can get to know us at their own pace.
Gentle and Child-Friendly Approach
We offer a gentle, child-friendly approach for every age, making dental care approachable and comfortable from the first tooth through the teenage years. Visits are made positive through gentle care, kid-friendly explanations, and involving parents at every step. Our team takes extra time to make each visit calm and approachable for young patients, helping build positive associations with dental care from an early age.
We love working with young patients and create a welcoming, calm environment for children of all ages.
Comprehensive Children's Dental Services
Our children's dental services include dental sealants, tooth-coloured fillings, sports mouthguards, and space maintainers. We provide preventive and restorative care for kids of every age. For example, dental sealants provide extra protection for your child’s back teeth, cavity fillings are quick and gentle, and custom-fitted mouthguards protect teeth during sports.
We closely monitor children’s dental development and recommend treatments like space maintainers when they’re needed to help prevent bigger orthodontic issues later.
Accessible Care for Busy Families
Our practice is open evenings until 8 PM Monday through Thursday, plus weekends, so appointments can fit around school schedules. We prioritize comfort and flexibility, with direct billing to most major Alberta insurance providers and as a participating provider for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and NIHB.
We accept new patients for all services, including children's dental care. Cost depends on the specific treatment your child needs, and we provide a clear estimate after the exam. We follow the Alberta Dental Association fee guide to keep our pricing fair and transparent.
How We Support Your Family
We offer same-day appointments for urgent situations and prioritize comfort for children experiencing dental emergencies. Many families choose our clinic because one trusted team can care for everyone, from a toddler’s first checkup to parental visits and senior smile transformations.
Whether you are new to the area, looking for a child-friendly dentist, or need care for the whole family, we look forward to welcoming you.
