At Sierra Dental, we are aware that dental costs in Alberta are the highest in Canada. As such, it’s more important than ever for Calgary families to find an affordable family dentist.
If the entire family is cared for by the same dental practice, there are likely some other qualities that you will look for as well as affordability.
You will likely expect experienced and skilled dentists, a children-friendly environment, and the use of leading dental technology to ensure that procedures are as least invasive as possible.
As one of the most affordable family dentists in Calgary, the team at Sierra Dental prides itself on delivering the best value without ever compromising on quality.
Here’s a little more detail on how we do that…
Five qualities that set us apart as a family dentist

What should I do if I have a dental emergency?
Emergency dental situations simply cannot wait for the morning or until a slot opens up in our schedule.
To provide timely treatment in emergencies, we provide an after-hours number that we encourage patients to call if required.
What sedation options are offered by Sierra Dental?
We provide several sedation dentistry options to relieve the stress that some family members experience with visits to the dentist. Dental sedation is available in pill form, nitrous oxide gas or, less commonly, via IV sedation.
What services does Sierra Dental provide for children?
Children are treated with great care at Sierra Dental. We aim to create a fun and educational environment that welcomes children and encourages trips to the dentist rather than being something to dread. That way, children grow up naturally looking after their teeth.
Our pediatric dentists offer a full range of services via our kids’ program — from caring for baby teeth to healthy tooth development and prevention of dental diseases including cavities and tooth decay.
We also provide routine teeth cleaning services and monitor developmental changes to educate your child on healthy habits. Sedation dentistry is also available (as a last resort) for children.
