At Cy Becker Dental in Edmonton, we make your first visit to our family dental clinic comfortable and welcoming for all ages. We are currently accepting new patients, including families, adults, children, and seniors from across NW Edmonton, Cy Becker, Crystallina Nera, Schonsee, and McConachie.

Our Location and Arrival

You will find us at 4166 167 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB, just steps from free on-site parking with barrier-free access straight into reception. Our modern clinic is designed for your comfort and convenience, and every space from the reception area to the treatment suites is built to put you at ease.

How We Welcome New Patients

Your first appointment as a new patient usually takes 60 to 90 minutes and follows a clear step-by-step process. We want your experience to be smooth from the start, so you always know what will happen next.

What to Bring to Your First Visit

We recommend bringing photo identification, your dental insurance card and member ID, a list of your current medications and dosages, a summary of your medical history, and previous dental X-rays if you have them. This helps us understand your needs and make your care as efficient as possible.

Insurance, Payment, and Coverage

Our team verifies your insurance benefits and explains your coverage before any treatment begins. We discuss all payment options before you start care, including financing solutions. Our goal is that you feel fully informed about what is included and what costs you may expect.

General and Preventive Care: What Happens in the Chair

We offer general and preventive dentistry, including thorough dental examinations, dental cleanings, digital X-rays as needed, and preventive treatments for long-term oral health. A general dental checkup with us includes a thorough visual examination of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues, as well as digital X-rays if needed. Our team evaluates every patient for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and bite irregularities. Routine general dentistry visits at our Edmonton clinic typically take 45–60 minutes.

Safety, Cleanliness, and Modern Technology

All instruments are cleaned, pouched, and heat-sterilized to Alberta infection-control standards before your visit. We use digital imaging and intraoral cameras at every chair so you can see exactly what we recommend and why. Our private treatment rooms and comfortable design are built to make dental visits easy and relaxed for families.

Children’s First Visits and Family Appointments

If you are bringing a child for their first visit, we offer a gentle approach focused on building familiarity and trust. For young children, the exam may be done with the child on a parent's lap to support comfort. We take time to introduce your child to our dental environment, explain our instruments in language they understand, and answer parents' questions about home care and habits. Our team is trained in techniques to help nervous young patients feel at ease, using positive and age-appropriate explanations. For children who need extra reassurance, we discuss additional comfort options with parents. We provide routine dental cleanings, sealants, fluoride treatments, and cavity care for children and teens. We support building positive dental habits early and partner with parents to answer questions about diet, brushing, and oral habits.

We are equipped to see families together, and often book family appointments back-to-back for convenience.

If You Have an Emergency or Urgent Concern

If you have an urgent concern or toothache, we prioritize same-day emergency appointments whenever possible. Let us know when you call or book online so we can schedule you quickly and help you get relief.

Communication and Your Dental Plan

Every patient receives clear communication about their diagnosis, recommended treatments, and next steps. Before you commit to any treatment, we provide a detailed plan so you understand what to expect.
