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.

“Been a patient here for just over a year and couldn’t recommend this place more. Every aspect of the experience is as pleasant as possible. The team here is excellent on every level right from reception, to hygienists, to the dentists themselves. They are thorough yet efficient. Flexible yet directed. Great accessible location too. It is good to see them busy as well as they really deserve all the business they receive.”

They are always very accommodating when booking any appointments. I highly recommend them, I've been coming here for a long time.”
“An honest, professional and welcoming environment. We recently started making the trip back to Smile Works after moving to a new neighborhood because the team here is just awesome. It's worth the longer drive to come here.”
