5 Best Dental Clinics in Calgary Actually Picked by Locals (Not Ads)
A buddy of mine once went to this dental clinic in Calgary, which looked (and cost) fancy. But the dentist? Hands like concrete blocks—it was a nightmare.
Several months later, he moved across town and found a new clinic. Not only were the prices more reasonable, but the dentist had hands so light, he didn’t feel a thing.
That goes to show that dental clinics might all seem the same from the outside, but the experience inside can be wildly different.
So if you’re looking for top-notch care, here are the best dental clinics in Calgary that people actually like going to.
How much do dental fees cost in Calgary?
Dental fees in Calgary can vary, but most routine services like cleaning and checkups usually range from $100 to $300. More involved procedures—like fillings, root canals, or crowns—can cost a few hundred to over $1000.
Some clinics offer direct billing or payment plans to make things easier.
1. Galaxy Dental
Address: 250 E Hls Sq S E #4110
Phone: (587) 318-0318
Business hours:
- Mon – Sun: 9 AM – 9 PM
Galaxy Dental is a one-stop spot for the whole family, offering pediatric, adult, and senior dentistry. Their goal is to give you that “out-of-this-world grin.”
They’re known for sedation dentistry—perfect for nervous patients. Their IV sedation puts you in a twilight-like state, where you’re relaxed but responsive.
Teeth whitening is another popular service, both in-clinic and at-home, to help erase stains and freshen up your smile.
Root canals, Invisalign, fillings, implants, wisdom teeth removal, as well as emergency dental services are offered too.
An upside is their online promos, like a free electric toothbrush when you book a complete adult exam and cleaning. It’s worth checking out if you’re due for a visit anyway.
You can begin with a free consultation to figure out your treatment plan. We recommend asking for a quote upfront before committing to anything since we heard reports of overcharging.

Northland Smiles is a locally owned and operated dental clinic that has a mission: to create a warm and welcoming vibe that makes even nervous patients feel more at ease.
The clinic is owned by Dr. Maria Astrid Urrutia, who brings over 20 years of experience to the chair. She’s a member of the Alberta Dental Association and College and the Canadian Dental Association, so you know you’re in good hands here.
We like that her clinic is family-focused, providing general dental care across all age groups—from little kids to grandparents.
Cosmetic dental services are offered as well. As a certified Invisalign provider, they use custom clear aligners and 3D scanning tech to craft a personalized treatment plan.
Other services include smile makeovers, veneers, crowns, bridges, and more. Emergency care is available as well.
Best dental clinic ever!
“Best dental clinic ever! I was traveling many dental clinics for years in Calgary. Northland Smiles Dental’s staffs are very knowledgeable, skilled and compassionate care, every visit. I am very happy to find right dental clinic:)” — Azusa Hirota, Google Review
The best days are the days at the dentist!
“The best days are the days at the dentist! Well at least it’s true for me at MY Dentist… lol. Dr. Maria-Astrid Urrutia and her Team have been absolutely amazing. Since returning back to their office to fix my 8 years of “Dental Denial” or “Oral Hygiene Hiatus”… they have been nothing but welcoming and empathetic of my situation. With a view to get me back on track, Lucy (the smile that greets you at the door) worked on getting me signed up and booked for what would be a series of Hygiene sessions and assessment appointments.” — Samson Lau, Google Review
3. Beacon Smiles Dental

Tucked right next to the CIBC, Beacon Smiles Dental is owned by Dr. Jagatjit Dhillon, who has over 20 years of experience under his dental lab coat. He believes that everyone deserves a healthy, beautiful smile without the stress.
His clinic specializes in dental hygiene, removing plaque, tartar, and stains to keep your teeth clean and healthy. Orthodontics is another focus, covering Invisalign, as well as clear and hidden braces, and even Myobrace for kids.
Beyond these, TMJ and sleep apnea therapy, crowns, bridges, sedation, and implants are handled too.
We like that they offer the Alberta Dental Fee guide, which makes their cleaning services more affordable. They even throw in a free full-mouth digital scan using iTero 3D imaging for new patients.
Just a heads up—we heard about appointments being changed without notice, which sucks if you’re juggling a busy schedule.
Easily the best dentist I have ever been to
“Dr Law is easily the best dentist I have ever been to. Really shows she cares in her work. Her and her assistant are always a pleasure whenever I come for my appointment and are very attentive. Staff at the front are wonderful too and I love how they come up with a plan that works with your benefits and timeline. I recommend them anytime someone mentions a dentist and my wife and daughter also come here.” — Derek, Google Review

4. Rō Dental Studio

Phone: (403) 287-3544
Business hours:
- Monday: 8 AM – 4 PM
- Tue – Wed: 7 AM – 6 PM
- Thurs – Fri: 7 AM – 4 PM
- Saturday: 9 AM – 4 PM
Rō Dental Studio was named after Rō, a Scandinavian word meaning rest and tranquility. They want to provide a tranquil and relaxing place that’ll make you look forward to your dental visits.
X-rays here are scanned using AI, which helps diagnose issues with up to 95% accuracy.
And their cleanings are super thorough, including a full oral exam and removal of plaque and tartar build-up. They even include free in-studio whitening with every cleaning, which is a pretty nice perk.
Same-day crowns are offered, using computer-aided design on-site to fit your crown in just one visit. And a cool perk is their virtual consults—you can discuss your oral concerns via phone or laptop.
We appreciate the fact that they accept walk-ins and are ready for dental emergencies.
Unfortunately, you might have to pay a premium for their services—if you’re on a budget, this might not be the best choice.
Had an amazing spa-like experience at Ro Dental

Business hours:
- Mon – Thurs: 8 AM – 8 PM

Inglewood Family Dental is a multilingual office, which is great if English isn’t your first language. They focus on cosmetic, preventative, restorative, and sedation dentistry.
They’re experts in crafting porcelain veneers, offering patients a natural-looking smile that balances beauty and function. The clinic also provides Invisalign, custom sports mouthguards, crowns, and dentures.
Wisdom tooth extraction, root canal therapy, and sleep apnea are offered as well.
Another big plus is their financing options—they even offer senior discounts and freebies like white teeth whitening and Botox treatments. They also follow the 2022 ADA Fee Guide and offer direct billing.
If you have a busy schedule, you’d appreciate their extended evening hours—they’re open on Sundays.
Do note that it can be hard to get an appointment, not because of availability but because the front desk seems unorganized.
Without a doubt, the best in the city
“I have been going to Inglewood Family Dental for several years and will 100% continue to indefinitely.. This clinic is, without a doubt, the best in the city, and no other clinic I have attended gets even remotely close. Every single staff member is polite, professional, in addition to being personable, and showing a genuine care for your dental health. Dr. Arash is superb and will do everything he can to make sure you are happy with the treatment and care you receive.” — coolhud, Google Review
Best dentist in the city
“I have been visiting this dental clinic for more than one year and have had a very good experience here. In my opinion, Dr. Arash is the best dentist in the city. I also see Dr. Vaishnavi and Dr. Sheila for dental hygiene, and they are very professional and patient. Today, I had a wisdom tooth extraction done by Dr. O’Malley, and I can confidently say that he was very skilled and professional. The staff are also very nice, helpful, and friendly.” — Sepideh Hashemi, Google Review
