Savanna Dental

In most cases, the same day. We hold appointment time open every day for urgent care, so when you call with an emergency we do everything we can to see you right away.

Severe or lasting tooth pain, a broken or knocked-out tooth, swelling, a dental abscess, a lost filling or crown, and any bleeding or injury to your mouth all warrant prompt care. If you’re unsure, call us — we’ll help you decide whether you need to be seen immediately.

No. We welcome both new and existing patients for emergency care, including patients whose regular dentist isn’t available.

It depends on what’s causing the problem and the treatment needed. After we assess you, we explain your options and costs upfront — no surprises. We work with most insurance plans and can discuss financing so cost never stands between you and relief.

Yes. Relieving your pain is our first priority. We assess the problem, make you comfortable, and treat what we can the same day.

Yes. We offer sedation options to help anxious and nervous patients stay relaxed and comfortable throughout emergency treatment.

Most patients do well with a checkup and cleaning every six months. If you have gum disease, a higher cavity risk, or another ongoing concern, we may recommend more frequent visits.

We check for cavities, examine your gums for early signs of disease, look at your bite, and take digital X-rays when needed. Your hygienist will also clean and polish your teeth to remove plaque and tartar buildup.

Not necessarily. X-ray frequency depends on your oral health history and risk factors — most patients need them roughly once a year, though we may recommend them sooner if we’re keeping an eye on a specific area.

We recommend a first visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth coming in. Starting early helps us catch issues sooner and helps kids get comfortable with the dentist from a young age.

Yes. We offer sedation dentistry for patients who feel nervous about treatment, so you can stay relaxed and comfortable throughout your visit. Let us know about your anxiety when you book, and we’ll tailor your appointment around it.

Most dental insurance plans cover some or all of the cost of routine checkups and cleanings, though coverage varies by provider. Our team can help you understand your benefits and any out-of-pocket costs before treatment.

We’ll walk you through what we found, explain your options, and answer any questions before moving forward. Nothing is treated without your understanding and agreement, and most fillings and minor treatments can often be scheduled during a follow-up visit.

Yes, we offer direct billing to help make payment options manageable. You will be notified if there are any issues with billing your insurance company directly.

We follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide.
