Comprehensive Care for Every Stage of Life
From early childhood visits to senior dental care, our family dentistry services are designed to support healthy smiles at every stage of life. We focus on preventive care, early detection, and personalized treatment plans to ensure long-term oral health for every member of your family. Whether it’s a child’s first checkup or ongoing care for adults, we provide a comfortable and trusted environment for all ages.
Dental Exams & Cleanings
Regular exams and professional cleanings are the foundation of lifelong oral health. At Westside, every exam includes a thorough check of your teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues – supported by digital X-rays when needed for precise early detection. We monitor for cavities, gum disease, bite issues, oral cancer, and the early signs of conditions like sleep apnea and TMJ dysfunction.
Fillings – The Solea Way
Cavities happen – even with the best brushing habits. At Westside, we use tooth-coloured composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. And for patients who want to avoid needles, our Solea laser performs most fillings without any injection – no freezing, no numbness, no needle anxiety.
Children’s Dentistry
We love seeing young patients. Our team is experienced in creating positive, calm dental experiences for children from their very first visit – building the habits and associations that lead to a lifetime of good oral health. We offer fluoride treatments, dental sealants to protect molars, early orthodontic screening, and gentle, age-appropriate care that puts both kids and parents at ease.
Clear Aligners – For Kids & Adults
Straight teeth are healthier teeth – they’re easier to clean, less prone to wear, and better for long-term jaw health. We offer Clear Aligners for both teenagers and adults: clear, removable aligners that straighten teeth gradually without the brackets and wires of traditional braces. Digital scanning means no putty impressions, and treatment can often begin faster than you’d expect.
Crowns & Bridges
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a crown restores its full shape, strength, and function. At Westside, we use CEREC technology to design and mill permanent ceramic crowns in a single appointment – no temporary crown, no second visit, no waiting weeks for a lab result. One appointment, one permanent tooth.
Root Canals
Root canal therapy saves teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted. Despite its reputation, a modern root canal is typically no more uncomfortable than a filling – particularly with our Solea laser option that can handle many soft tissue components without needles. We’ll walk you through every step so there are no surprises.
Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved, extraction is sometimes the best path forward for your overall oral health. We perform routine extractions as well as wisdom teeth removal, always with a clear explanation of what comes next – including implant options to restore the space.

Mouth Guards
Custom-fitted mouth guards protect teeth during sports and during sleep. Athletic mouth guards provide significantly better protection than over-the-counter options. Sleep guards address nighttime grinding and clenching – protecting tooth surfaces and reducing strain on the jaw joint.
What Makes Us Different for Families
Needle-free options with Solea laser For patients who fear injections above everything else – especially kids – Solea laser dentistry changes the experience completely. Most procedures can be performed without any needle at all.
Same-day crowns with CEREC No double bookings, no temporary crowns, no lab delays. Busy families appreciate that we can often handle complex restorative work in a single visit.
Different for Families
One clinic for every age Your toddler’s first check-up, your teenager’s Clear Aligners, your own implant consultation, your parent’s crown – we handle all of it. One team that knows your family.
Weekend appointments We offer weekend hours because families are busy during the week. You shouldn’t have to take a day off work for a dental appointment. Kids’ play room A dedicated play space keeps young children happy before their appointment and gives parents peace of mind.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
For new patients, your first visit is an opportunity for us to get to know you – your dental history, any current concerns, and your goals for your smile and oral health. We complete a comprehensive exam, take any necessary digital X-rays or scans, and create a personalized care plan that prioritizes what matters most to you.
There’s no pressure, no upselling, and no surprises on your invoice. We’ll talk you through everything we find and give you a clear picture of what we recommend and why – and you decide what comes next.
Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child first see a dentist?
We recommend a child’s first dental visit around age 1, or when their first tooth appears. Early visits help children get comfortable with the dental environment and allow us to monitor development from the very beginning.
Do you offer sedation for anxious patients?
Yes. We offer sedation dentistry for patients who need additional support – and we also offer Solea laser dentistry as a needle-free, often drill-free alternative that eliminates the need for sedation in many cases.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes – we are always welcoming new patients and families. You can book online or call us at (587) 288-8190.
Do you accept my insurance?
We work with all major insurance providers. Bring your coverage details to your first appointment and our team will help you understand exactly what’s covered.
Is 0% financing available?
Yes. Dental treatments can be financed through Beautifi at 0% interest – we cover the interest on your behalf. Ask our team for details at your visit.
