New Patients – Your First Visit at Westside

Your first visit, made simple

Welcome. Whether you are coming for a dental check-up, to join the family practice, for a sleep assessment or for a free aesthetic consultation, here is exactly what happens, how long it takes, what to bring and what it costs – so there are no surprises.

What happens at your first visit

Dental – your new patient exam

With Dr. Zubaida Hussain and our hygiene team. A comprehensive exam of teeth, gums, existing dental work, jaw joints and bite, including an oral cancer screening; low-dose digital X-rays only as clinically needed; a professional cleaning in the same visit; and honest findings with a written plan you can take home. Plan for about two hours. New patients are welcome, no referral needed.

Medical – joining the family practice

A relaxed meet-and-greet with Dr. Sabah Jarullah to talk about your health, your history and what you are looking for in a family doctor. Bring your Alberta health card. We arrange transfer of your previous records and book any follow-up you need. Insured visits are covered under the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan.

Sleep – your first step

A physician consultation with Dr. Sabah, then two nights at home with a clinical-grade sleep test recorder if it is indicated, and a results visit to go through your options. No referral needed; the consultation is an insured service.

Aesthetics – a free consultation

Aura 3D skin imaging, an honest conversation about your goals, and a plan built from that – never from a menu. Medically supervised by Dr. Sabah Jarullah and delivered by Noora, our medical aesthetician. The consultation is free.

What to bring

  • Your Alberta health card (medical and sleep visits)
  • Your dental insurance card or plan details – we bill most insurers directly
  • A list of your current medications and any allergies
  • Previous X-rays or reports if you have them – or tell us where they are and we will request them
  • Any referral letter, if a provider sent you (not required)
  • Your questions – write them down; we answer all of them

What it costs

Westside follows the Alberta Dental Fee Guide. You can read the 2026 guide yourself – it lists the suggested fees for common dental services across Alberta – and every treatment plan comes with a written estimate before we begin. We bill most dental insurers directly and send a predetermination to your insurer for larger work, so you know your portion in advance. Physician visits are insured; wellness and aesthetic programs are private-pay and always identified clearly before you book, with financing through Beautifi at 0% interest.

Then, a welcome gift

Complete your new patient exam, X-rays and cleaning and choose a welcome gift before you leave – an Oral-B iO electric toothbrush, or a professional whitening session scheduled after your cleaning. Details and conditions are on the Current Offers page.

Questions before your first visit

Do I need a referral?

No – not for any part of the clinic. Book online or call us.

How long is the first dental visit?

About two hours for the exam, X-rays and cleaning together. If you would rather split it into two shorter visits, just tell us when you book.

Is the first visit covered?

Dental: we bill your insurer directly and explain any portion not covered before treatment. Medical and sleep consultations: insured under the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan – bring your health card. Aesthetic consultations: free.

I am anxious about the dentist. Can you help?

Yes. Tell us when you book. Many routine treatments here are needle-free with the Solea laser, and sedation is available when it helps.

Where do I park?

Ground-level parking outside the door at Suite 1120, 930 – 85th Street SW, with a step-free entrance.
