West 17th Avenue Dental Care clinic
Our Story

30+ Years of Care,
Community & Excellence

West 17th Avenue Dental Care has been a trusted cornerstone of Calgary's 17th Avenue SW community since 1995. Four expert dentists. Ten dedicated team members. One philosophy: every patient deserves exceptional, compassionate care.

Our History

A Practice Built on
Trust & Relationships

West 17th Avenue Dental Care was founded in 1995 with a single, enduring goal: to deliver dental care that feels less like a clinical appointment and more like a visit with a trusted neighbour. Located in the heart of Calgary's vibrant 17th Avenue SW community, we've grown from a small single-dentist practice into a full-service multi-dentist clinic — without ever losing the warmth that defines us.

Today, our team of three dentists and seven support professionals care for thousands of Calgary families each year, spanning every stage of life — from a child's very first visit to complex full-mouth rehabilitation for adults and seniors. We speak six languages, accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan, offer 0% interest financing, and are open six days a week.

What hasn't changed in 30+ years? Our belief that the best dental experience is built on genuine relationships. Many of our patients have been with us since day one — and their children are now bringing their own children in to see us. That continuity of care is something we treasure deeply.
