Smileworks Dental
Your General Dentist in SW Calgary
At Smileworks Dental, we provide comprehensive general dentistry for patients across Calgary and the surrounding SW communities — including Chinook Park, Haysboro, Fairview, Acadia, and beyond. Our goal is simple: to keep your teeth healthy for life, with honest recommendations and a gentle, unhurried approach.
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are the foundation of long-term oral health. At each visit, we screen for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and bite issues — catching small problems before they become expensive ones. When treatment is needed, we offer a full range of restorative services in-clinic so you rarely need a referral.
We accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and most major insurance plans. New patients and same-day emergency appointments are always welcome at our SW Calgary location.
