By Summit Dental Edmonton TeamOctober 6, 20263 min read

Finding the right family dentist in Edmonton can make looking after your family's oral health much simpler. At Summit Dental Edmonton, we provide general and family dental care for patients of all ages and needs. Our practice serves not just Edmonton itself, but also communities in West Edmonton, Stony Plain Road, Jasper Place, Grovenor, Glenora, Mayfield, and Canora.

Convenient Hours and Location

Our dental clinic in Edmonton is open seven days a week, including late evenings until 8 pm Monday through Thursday. We’re located on Stony Plain Road in west Edmonton, with free parking and easy access for your whole family. Whether you’re a shift worker, have a busy family schedule, or need weekend appointments, our hours are designed to make dental visits easier for you.

Welcoming New Patients and Same-Day Emergency Appointments

We welcome new patients and understand that dental issues can happen at any time. That’s why we offer same-day emergency appointments, call ahead and we’ll do our best to fit you in the same afternoon for urgent needs.

All Ages, All Services Under One Roof

Families can access a wide range of dental services under one roof at Summit Dental Edmonton. These include check-ups, cleanings, children's dental care, orthodontics, cosmetic, restorative, and emergency dentistry. We also offer services like Invisalign, dental implants, night and sport guards, and oral cancer screening. Most of our appointments are unhurried, with time built in to answer all your questions.

Patient-First, Family-Friendly Approach

Our team focuses on comfortable, patient-friendly care and clear explanations for families and new patients so you know what to expect at every visit. Appointments are paced around you and your family, so care fits comfortably around your day. We believe in taking the time to listen to your lifestyle and goals before any treatment begins, ensuring recommendations fit what matters most to your family.

Transparent and Affordable Fees

We offer direct billing to most Canadian insurance plans, meaning we bill your insurer directly and you only pay any difference at the end of the visit. Our fees at Summit Dental Edmonton are below the Alberta Dental Fee Guide, so cost is rarely a reason care gets postponed. For larger treatment plans, we provide a clear written estimate before starting, outlining costs and expected insurance coverage. Complimentary in-office whitening is included in adult check-ups, with small conditions.

Comfort and Sedation Options

For those who feel anxious about visiting the dentist or have longer appointments, we offer sedation options to help make your experience as comfortable as possible. If you feel nervous, let us know when you call so we can discuss sedation or pacing your visit with breaks.

Modern, Mercury-Free Dentistry

We believe in investing in care that patients feel, like digital scanning instead of putty impressions and a mercury-free environment, all restorations use composite or ceramic, never amalgam. Our office feels familiar and comfortable, while our technology keeps your visits up to date.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first visit usually takes about an hour. You’ll start with a short intake at the front desk, then move on to X-rays, an oral cancer screening, a hygiene appointment, and a thorough dental exam. Bring a photo ID, your insurance card if you have one, a list of any medications, and any recent X-rays from another office if available.

Care for Generations

We have looked after west Edmonton families across generations, and many patients have stayed with us for over a decade. If you’re not sure if a treatment is right for your family, a short consultation with our team can help you map out your options and costs before any work begins.
