This is our 3rd appointment for our 6 year old boy and 4 year old girl. The dentists here are amazing, really outstanding with kids! Dr. Wong is patient and kind, and still gets the job done with our busy boy. She took the time to explain every detail of each childs dental needs and my kids were asking to come back. Definitely a valuable service in our community!

First time getting dental care in Alberta, since moving from BC. I've always been wary of getting dental care here, after hearing about how opportunistic some dentists can be about doing more procedures than necessary. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised - Dr. Wong and the hygienist Brian were super thorough. Dr. Wong talked through her exam and explained what her thoughts were about the exam, why she would recommend some things and why she would wait and watch for others. The reception staff were super nice and very friendly as well. Very happy, would definitely recommend!
