General Dentistry in NE Calgary

A Family Dentist Close to Home in Northeast Calgary

General dentistry is the care that keeps your mouth healthy day to day, and it is where most dental relationships begin. We see patients from across Northeast Calgary, including Pineridge, Rundle, Marlborough, Whitehorn, Temple and Falconridge, and we welcome everyone from young children to older adults.

Our dentists include Dr. Tanya Khattra, DDS, a graduate of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio with more than 10 years of experience, and Dr. Kevin R. Kalin, DDS. We describe our approach as gentle, honest and judgment-free, and our staff speak English, Punjabi, Arabic and Tagalog.

General Dentistry Services at Our Clinic

Four services make up the core of our general dentistry care. Each has its own page with more detail.

• Dental cleaning and checkups: plaque removal, a careful exam and detailed imaging, with deep cleanings and fluoride treatments available when you need them.
• Night guards and sports guards: custom-fitted guards that protect teeth from grinding and from impact.
• Tooth-colored fillings: composite fillings that match the shade of your natural tooth.
• Oral cancer screening: a quick, comfortable check of the mouth, tongue, throat and palate.

What Happens at a New Patient Visit

Your first appointment is built around getting to know your mouth and your goals. It usually follows this order:

1. A comprehensive exam of your teeth, gums and mouth.
2. X-rays if they are needed, using digital imaging.
3. A consultation where we talk through what we found.
4. A personalized care plan.
5. Guidance on caring for your teeth at home over the long term.

If anxiety makes dental visits hard, tell us. We offer sedation options for comfort, and you can read about them on our sedation dentistry page.

Who General Dentistry Is For

Almost everyone. Most patients benefit from a check-up about every six months, and some need to come more often based on their gum health or risk of decay. Parents can bring the whole family to one clinic, and children have their own page on children's dentistry.

If you have a sudden toothache, swelling or a dental injury, call right away. Emergency walk-ins are welcome, and our emergency dentist page explains what to do.

Preventive Care That Protects Your Smile

Preventing a problem is almost always easier than repairing one. A regular exam and cleaning lets us catch a small cavity before it grows, notice gum changes while they are easy to manage and check your mouth for anything unusual.

Protective care is part of the picture too. A custom night guard can cushion teeth from grinding, a sports guard helps protect against injury, and screening gives early detection a chance. Together, these small habits help you avoid larger treatment later.

Comfort, Anxiety and Clear Communication

Many people put off the dentist because of a bad experience or simple nerves. We aim to be the opposite: we explain what we see, tell you what each step will feel like and never judge you for how long it has been. If you need extra reassurance, ask about sedation options, and our team will talk through what suits you.

Because our staff speak English, Punjabi, Arabic and Tagalog, many families find it easier to ask questions and understand their care plan in the language they are most comfortable with.

General Dentistry Cost, Insurance and Financing

We follow the ADA Fee Guide and keep our pricing transparent, and you receive a detailed estimate before any work begins. We direct bill most insurance plans, file your insurance claims for you and help you get the most from your benefits.

We accept CDCP, NIHB for eligible First Nations and Inuit patients, and the Alberta Child Health Benefit. Affordable payment options include 0% financing, in-office financing, third-party financing and other flexible plans.
