Dental Exam

A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by your dentist at your initial dental visit. At regular check-up exams, your dentist and hygienist will perform the following:

Examination of diagnostic X-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.
Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
Gum disease evaluation: Check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
Examination of tooth decay: All tooth surfaces will be checked for decay with special dental instruments.
Examination of existing restorations: Check current fillings, crowns,

Professional Dental Cleaning

Professional dental cleanings (dental prophylaxis) are usually performed by Registered Dental Hygienists. Your cleaning appointment will include a dental exam and the following:

Removal of calculus (tartar): Calculus is hardened plaque that has been left on the tooth for some time and is now firmly attached to the tooth surface. Calculus forms above and below the gum line and can only be removed with special dental instruments.
Removal of plaque: Plaque is a sticky, almost invisible film that forms on the teeth. It is a growing colony of living bacteria, food debris, and saliva. The bacteria produce toxins (poisons) that inflame the gums. This inflammation is the start of periodontal disease!
Teeth polishing: Remove stain and plaque that is not otherwise removed during tooth brushing and scaling.

I have nothing but good things to say about Quarry Park Dental. I’ve been a patient for several years and the staff are all amazing. The service is also superior to any other dental clinics I’ve been to over the years. They use the latest technology and equipment. They are efficient, always on time and super friendly. I have been going through some personal challenges and the compassion they showed me during my last visit was absolutely incredible. I have referred some of my friends to them and they are also very happy. I’d highly recommend this clinic.

I’ve never experienced more helpful and friendly people in any dentist office I have been to. For someone who has high anxiety around going to the dentist or getting the bill, they have helped me to actually not dread going and to come up with good plans without making it overwhelming. I will continue to recommend them to anyone I know.

It really depends on each patient! Typically we recommend that adult patients visit a dentist once or twice a year, even if your mouth is in good condition. This way, you can get your teeth professionally cleaned regularly and maintain excellent oral health.

Toothaches are the main reason patients come to us. Pain is a sign that your body is telling you something is wrong. There could be decay, gum disease, or other dental problems below the surface. We also help those who have lost or broken a tooth. Don’t worry too much and book your next dental appointment with one of our family dentists today!
If your teeth hurt even a little bit, go to the dentist. Even if the pain goes away, there may still be a problem that needs to be checked. This can prevent the problem from getting worse and causing even more discomfort.

The Canadian Dental Association suggests that parents bring their baby to see a dentist when their first tooth comes in (or by their first birthday). This is important because it lets the dentist find any problems early on, before more teeth come in and the problems get worse. Our dentists are great with families and want to help keep your child healthy.

Yes, we do! If you’re looking for a new, family-friendly dentist in SE Calgary, please don’t hesitate to book your appointment today! We would be more than happy to help guide you on the right treatment solution for your oral health needs.
