What to Expect at Your First Visit to a Family Dentist in Edmonton

At My Smile Family Dental in Edmonton, your first visit is designed to be easy, friendly, and comfortable for every member of your family. We welcome patients of all ages, from children having their very first dental experience to adults who need preventive, cosmetic, restorative, or emergency care. Our dental clinic is located in Edmonton, AB, and serves Edmonton, South Edmonton, Mill Woods, and Ellerslie.

How We Welcome You

From the moment you arrive, our focus is on making you feel at home, with a calm, modern space and friendly team members ready to answer any questions. We use advanced technology such as digital X-rays for safety and precision, only taking them if needed.

Your first appointment will include a review of your medical history. We encourage you to update us on any changes at each future visit.

Your Dental Exam and Cleaning

Most first visits include a complete, professional dental cleaning. During your exam, we take a visual look at your teeth and gums to check for signs of decay or disease. We'll talk through any medications you're taking, your lifestyle factors, and discuss treatment options, like crowns, bridges, implants, or dentures, if they're relevant. Everything is explained in plain language, so you know what's happening at every step.

If X-rays are recommended, we use modern digital imaging to get clear results with lower radiation. You’ll never be rushed or pressured to make decisions.

Services Available at Your First Visit

We provide preventive dental care, routine cleanings and exams, restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, children's dentistry, orthodontics, and sedation options for patients with anxiety or special needs. If you have specific concerns or needs, just let us know, we’ll make sure your visit fits you.

Insurance and Payment

We bill insurance companies directly, so you usually pay nothing or only the balance not covered at the time of your appointment. We also accept social service insurance, but please verify your coverage first. Our fees are lower than the ADA Fee Guide, making care accessible for families.

Appointment Scheduling and Availability

We strive to keep visits on schedule and offer appointments seven days a week, with early-morning, evening, and weekend slots to fit your busy life.

Your Child’s First Dental Visit

Children’s first visits are kept short and friendly. We take a gentle look, count their teeth, give brushing tips, and help your child feel completely safe in our office, no pressure, no rush. The appointment may not include cleaning or any further treatment on the first day, as the main goal is to help your child have a positive, non-threatening experience with the dentist.

We may ask parents to wait in the reception area during part of their child's visit, to build trust between your child and the dentist. You can prepare your child by letting them know the dentist will count their teeth and that it will be a fun experience.

Welcoming New Patients in Edmonton

We welcome new patients of all ages, whether you have just moved to Edmonton or are looking for a new dental team that values comfort and honesty. We are happy to explain every step and answer all your questions, so you know what to expect before your appointment starts.
