We provide comprehensive examinations, cavity prevention strategies, and gentle treatment approaches tailored to each child's developmental stage. Our specialists use age-appropriate communication techniques to create positive dental experiences that establish lifelong oral hygiene habits.
Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic services include early intervention for children and comprehensive treatment for teens and adults. We offer traditional braces, Invisalign clear aligners, and space maintenance solutions to correct bite issues and misaligned teeth. Our approach focuses on functional improvement and aesthetic enhancement while ensuring patient comfort throughout the treatment process.
Preventive Care
Our preventive care program emphasizes regular checkups, professional cleanings, and fluoride treatments to maintain optimal oral health. We educate families on proper brushing techniques, dietary habits, and sealant applications to prevent tooth decay. Early detection of potential issues allows for timely intervention and minimally invasive treatments.

We provide urgent dental care for traumatic injuries including knocked-out teeth, fractures, and soft tissue injuries. Our team offers immediate assessment and treatment to alleviate pain and prevent complications.

We have had an incredible time at Cool Smiles! Both of my girls absolutely love going to the dentist (.....!), the staff are very welcoming, accommodating, attentive and friendly. We have been going for about 3 years now and I have nothing but great things to say! We also opted for the orthodontist as well, and they took their time to explain everything well. I think my only complaint would be regarding the orthodontist (Dr. Ward) and his lack of building rapport with my 9 year old.

He completed the treatment on her teeth well and I am extremely happy with the results, but he had no interest in speaking to her, never asked her about her day or how she feels about her braces. In 1.5 years, he never spoke to her once which I find very off-putting. While I understand that small talk isn't a major portion of their job title and responsibility, the population he is working with can be very sensitive and a brief conversation could go a long way. Aside from that, I would recommend this office to anyone!

The assistants were great and very friendly. We didnt have to wait long, and everything was done efficiently without taking more time than needed. The consultation and exam were quick, so we were in and out without any delays.

We had a dental emergency and decided to visit Cool Smiles. Initially, I was hesitant because of some previous reviews, but our experience turned out to be excellent. Dr. Rob (I cant recall her first name) and her assistant Elaine made my daughter feel so comfortable. The front desk staff were also fantasticfriendly and welcoming. We will definitely return for routine check-ups and will be requesting Dr. Rob specifically.

Best dentist office around! My kids love going here. I appreciate that hygienists always talk TO my children and explain each step of a procedure in a way they can understand. Front desk staff are friendly and have accommodated us for back to back appointments as we live an hour outside of Red Deer. I am also very impressed by the cleanliness! Even with all the animal figures, fake trees etc, everything is thoroughly cleaned and dust free! And of course, my kids love to use the tokens to gets some prizes! Would highly recommend
