The Ranch Dental Centre offers general dental care for all ages in Strathmore. From preventive checkups to restorative, cosmetic, and emergency treatments, our team delivers all aspects of general practice family dentistry.
At The Ranch Dental Centre, we believe regular dental checkups and cleanings are the foundation of a healthy smile.
For most patients, we recommend visiting our Strathmore clinic at least every six months. These appointments are about more than just a “quick clean” — they are a chance to protect your oral health, detect issues early, and receive personalized advice from a team that genuinely cares.
Our patients tell us they appreciate our friendly, down-to-earth approach. We take the time to explain what we’re doing, answer your questions, and ensure you feel comfortable at every stage. Whether you’ve been visiting us for years or it’s your first time in the chair, we’ll work to make your appointment as relaxed and stress-free as possible.
At The Ranch Dental Centre, we generally recommend routine checkups and cleanings every six months for most patients. These visits are simple but essential for maintaining and promoting your oral health. During your appointment, we may start by taking any necessary dental X-rays to see areas we can’t view directly, then carefully assess your gum health and check for plaque and tartar deposits on the teeth. Your Strathmore dentist will also look for specific areas of concern, such as early cavities or worn or damaged restorations. Our checkups also include an oral cancer screening, a head and neck exam, a jaw joint (TMJ) assessment, and a lymph node exam, along with a review of anything unusual that may appear on the X-rays.
Your hygienist will then remove plaque and tartar using professional instruments, polish your teeth with a gentle paste to lift surface stains, and, when appropriate, provide a fluoride treatment to help strengthen enamel. For our younger patients, we may recommend dental sealants as an extra layer of protection against cavities. Throughout the visit, our friendly team will explain each step, answer your questions, and share straightforward home-care tips tailored to your needs—because feeling informed and comfortable is just as important as the clinical care you receive.
Preventive dental care is all about protecting your teeth and gums before problems start. Good oral hygiene habits at home, combined with regular professional checkups, are the best way to maintain a healthy smile for life. Our team is here to help you understand the best practices, tools, and techniques to keep your mouth healthy every day. Below are three essential habits that every patient should focus on:
Brushing your teeth at least twice a day — ideally in the morning and before bed — is your first defense against plaque and tooth decay. We recommend using a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste approved by Canadian Dental Association, brushing for at least two minutes each time.
When brushing:
The Canadian Dental Association recommends replacing your toothbrush every 3–4 months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed.
Flossing once a day removes plaque and food particles from between your teeth and under the gumline — places a toothbrush simply can’t reach.
When flossing:
Flossing regularly helps prevent cavities between teeth and keeps your gums healthy, reducing the risk of gum disease.
Rinsing can be a simple but effective way to help keep your mouth clean throughout the day. If you’re unable to brush after a meal, rinsing with water can help wash away food particles and reduce bacteria buildup. Some patients may also benefit from using a mouth rinse, but not all products are the same. Before adding an over-the-counter rinse to your routine, it’s best to speak with your dentist or dental hygienist to ensure it’s the right choice for your needs. Depending on your oral health, your dental professional may also recommend additional aids to support your home care.
Whether you’re here for a routine cleaning, preventive care advice, or a more involved treatment, our team takes pride in creating a welcoming, supportive environment. We know visiting the dentist isn’t everyone’s favorite activity, so we go out of our way to ensure you feel at ease from the moment you walk in.
Our focus is on building trust, offering useful guidance, and providing professional care for patients of all ages in Strathmore and the surrounding communities.
At The Ranch Dental Centre, we believe everyone deserves a healthy, confident smile—one that not only looks great but also functions comfortably in daily life.
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged teeth so you can chew, speak, and smile with ease. Whether it’s filling a small cavity, placing a crown for a damaged tooth, or replacing missing fillings, our friendly team is here to guide you every step of the way.
Our approach combines proven dental techniques with a welcoming, patient-first environment, ensuring that your treatment is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. No matter your age or dental needs, we work with you to restore the health and function of your smile.
Cavities, also called tooth decay, are one of the most common oral health issues for children, teens, and adults alike. They occur when plaque and bacteria break down tooth enamel, often due to factors such as:
Small cavities may go unnoticed, but as they progress, they can cause toothaches, sensitivity to hot or cold, visible dark spots or holes, and discomfort while chewing.
At The Ranch Dental Centre Strathmore, our goal is to detect and treat cavities early, before they become larger and lead to more serious problems such as infections or abscesses. During your visit, we’ll gently remove the decayed portion of the tooth and restore it with a durable filling that blends naturally with your smile. Regular dental checkups (ideally every six months) help us monitor your oral health and catch any new cavities before they worsen.
When a tooth is severely damaged, cracked, worn down, or weakened by decay, a dental crown can restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns act like a cap or helmet placed over the tooth, protecting it while restoring full function. They can be made from materials such as porcelain, gold, or a combination, offering both durability and a natural look.
For patients missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge is a fixed restoration that fills the gap by anchoring an artificial tooth to the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges not only restore your smile’s appearance but also prevent nearby teeth from shifting out of position.
The crown and bridge process typically involves:
At The Ranch Dental Centre in Strathmore, we believe a confident smile can make all the difference.
Our cosmetic services are designed to enhance the look of your teeth while protecting your comfort and oral health. Whether you’re considering a brighter smile, straighter teeth, or natural-looking restorations, our team is here to guide you through your options.
Teeth can lose their brightness over time due to everyday habits like coffee, tea, or wine, as well as natural aging. Professional teeth whitening can safely lift stains and restore a whiter, more youthful-looking smile. At The Ranch Dental Centre in Strathmore, we offer whitening treatments that are both safe and effective, giving you noticeable results in less time than over-the-counter options. If you’re interested in brightening your smile, reach out to our team to see if professional whitening is right for you.
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front of your teeth, improving their shape, size, or color. They are a great solution for teeth that are chipped, stained, uneven, or slightly misaligned. At The Ranch Dental Centre in Strathmore, our veneers are designed to blend naturally with your smile, offering long-lasting results that look and feel authentic. If you’re considering veneers, connect with our team to find out whether this option is the right fit for you.
If you’d like a straighter smile without the look and feel of traditional braces, Invisalign® could be the solution. This system uses a series of clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into place, with minimal disruption to your lifestyle. At The Ranch Dental Centre in Strathmore, we provide personalized Invisalign® treatment plans to help improve your alignment discreetly and comfortably. If you’re interested in learning more about Invisalign®, schedule a consultation with our team to see if it’s the right choice for your smile.
Facial neuromodulators, often known as Botox, have applications that go beyond cosmetic enhancement. In dentistry, Botox can help manage conditions such as jaw tension, teeth grinding, and certain facial pain issues by relaxing overactive muscles. Our team will work with you to assess whether this treatment is right for you and provide safe, professional care in a comfortable environment.
If you’re curious about how Botox could benefit you, we invite you to schedule a consultation with our team to learn more.
Sometimes saving a tooth isn’t possible, and removal or surgical treatment is the best option for protecting your overall health and comfort.
At The Ranch Dental Centre, we provide a range of oral surgery services, including extractions, wisdom tooth removal, and dental implants, with a focus on long-term oral health.
Our Strathmore dental team takes time to review your medical history, discuss treatment options, and ensure you feel informed and relaxed at every stage of your procedure.
Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary to relieve pain, prevent further complications, and maintain your oral health. A tooth may need to be removed if:
Before every extraction, our dentists carefully review your medical history and any medications to minimize risks of bleeding or infection. Depending on your needs, we use different surgical techniques to ensure a safe, and comfortable procedure.
If you feel anxious about extractions, please let us know—we are here to provide reassurance and make your visit as stress-free as possible. Contact The Ranch Dental Centre to learn more about whether extraction may be the right solution for you.
Wisdom teeth can sometimes cause pain, infection, or crowding if they do not erupt properly. In these cases, removal may be the best option to protect your oral health. Wisdom tooth extractions are performed with the same care and focus on patient`s needs as other tooth removals.
If you are experiencing discomfort or swelling around your wisdom teeth, reach out to our Strathmore dental team to discuss whether removal is recommended in your situation.
A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw to support a crown, bridge, or dentures. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, or a combination may be used to replace several teeth. Implants can also serve as an anchor to support a complete denture.
Most of the cases that we do at The Ranch Dental Centre are called guided implant placement, which requires you to take a CBCT scan (CAT scan) in order to fabricate a surgical stent. After the implant is fused to the jaw bone, an implant-supported crown will be fabricated in collaboration with our lab.
Benefits of dental implants include:
From start to finish, our team will walk you through the process, working closely with our dental labs to create restorations that bring you function and aesthetics.
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile.
At The Ranch Dental Centre, we emphasize preventive and therapeutic care to protect your gums and support long-term oral health. Whether you are managing early signs of gum disease or experiencing concerns with your bite, our team provides thorough, personalized care to restore health and function.

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is one of the most common oral health issues—but it’s also highly treatable when detected early. Signs may include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or gum recession. Left untreated, gum disease can progress and threaten both your oral and overall health.
At The Ranch Dental Centre, we offer tailored treatment plans to stop the progression of gum disease, protect the supporting bone structure, and help you maintain a strong, healthy smile. From routine cleanings to more advanced periodontal referrals, our focus is on restoring your oral health and preventing future complications.
Dentures are artificial teeth and gums designed to replace missing teeth and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
At The Ranch Dental Centre in Strathmore, we provide custom-made dentures that are carefully crafted to fit comfortably and look natural.
Beyond replacing teeth, dentures also help support your lips and cheeks, preventing the sunken appearance that can occur after tooth loss. With proven techniques and materials, today’s dentures are more durable, functional, and natural-looking than ever before.
The process of creating dentures typically can take up to a few appointments, including precise impressions and multiple try-ins to ensure the best fit and appearance. Throughout this process, our dental team collaborates closely with the dental lab, ensuring meticulous attention to detail at every step.
If you are considering dentures, we encourage you to connect with our team at The Ranch Dental Centre Strathmore. We’ll walk you through your options, answer your questions, and help determine if dentures are the right solution for restoring your smile.
At The Ranch Dental Centre, we believe healthy smiles start early.
Children benefit from regular dental visits not only for their oral health but also to develop comfort and confidence in the dental office. By introducing dental care in a positive, supportive environment, we help set the foundation for a lifetime of good oral habits.
The Canadian Dental Association recommends a child’s first dental assessment within six months of their first tooth eruption, or by their first birthday. Early visits allow us to monitor development, provide preventive care, and address concerns before they become bigger issues.
We understand that a child’s first dental appointment sets the tone for how they feel about dental care in the future. Our focus is to make the experience positive, and reassuring—for both children and parents.
During the visit, our team will:
Parents are welcome to stay with their child throughout the appointment. We take time to explain every step in simple, easy-to-understand terms so children begin to feel comfortable and confident in the dental chair. This approach helps them become active participants in their own oral health journey—setting the stage for lifelong healthy habits.
Dental emergencies can happen at any time, whether it’s a sudden toothache, a broken filling, or an unexpected injury.
At The Ranch Dental Centre, we understand the importance of getting care quickly when you need it most.
Our clinic is open Monday to Thursday from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm and Friday & Saturday from 9:00 am – 3:30 pm to help accommodate urgent situations.
If you are experiencing a dental emergency contact us immediately at 403-934-5292. Our team will provide guidance on what to do next and arrange for a same-day or next-available appointment.
At The Ranch Dental Centre Strathmore, we know that imbalanced bite can lead to a range of issues.
Whether you’re struggling with teeth grinding or an imbalanced bite, our team is here to guide you through safe and effective solutions tailored to your needs.
An imbalanced bite can lead to a range of issues, including jaw pain, teeth grinding (bruxism), headaches, and uneven tooth wear. Bite therapy is designed to address these concerns, ensuring your teeth come together properly for improved comfort and function.
Our team evaluates the alignment of your teeth and jaw to recommend the most effective treatment, whether it’s an adjustment, protective appliance, or restorative care. By correcting bite issues early, you can prevent long-term damage and enjoy a healthier, more comfortable smile.
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is more than just a habit—it can seriously impact your oral health. Over time, grinding can wear down enamel, chip or fracture teeth, and contribute to jaw pain, headaches, and muscle soreness.
At The Ranch Dental Centre, our dentists carefully monitor for signs of bruxism during your regular checkups. Because stress, sleep disturbances, or bite alignment can all contribute, we aim to identify the root cause and create a personalized plan.
One common solution is a custom-made night guard, a thin, transparent device worn over your teeth while you sleep. This helps protect your enamel, reduce strain, and prevent further damage from grinding.
Root canal therapy allows us to save a tooth that would otherwise need to be removed.
The pulp inside the tooth—which contains nerves and blood vessels—can become damaged by deep cavities, cracks, or trauma. If left untreated, this can lead to infection, swelling, and severe pain.
Root canal treatment involves:
This routine procedure helps relieve pain while preserving your natural tooth. If you have questions about whether a root canal is right for you, connect with The Ranch Dental Centre team today.
