Life in Edmonton is busy. Between work, school pickups, hockey practice, and the never-ending pile of laundry, finding time for yourself feels impossible sometimes. So when you realize you’re due for a cleaning, or worse, something starts hurting, where exactly are you supposed to fit that in?
We hear this from our patients all the time. “I can’t take time off work.” “The kids have activities every weekday afternoon.” “By the time I’m done with everything, it’s 6 PM and every dental clinic is closed.” That’s exactly why Reliance Dental offers Saturday dentist appointments and late weekday hours.
We Built Our Schedule Around Yours
Most dental clinics run a pretty standard 9-to-5, Monday through Friday. That works great if you have a flexible job or don’t work outside the home. But for everyone else? It means burning a sick day or pulling your kid out of school just to get their teeth checked.
We didn’t think that was fair. So we did something different. Here are our hours:
- Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 9 AM – 5 PM
- Tuesday & Thursday: 11 AM – 7 PM
- Saturday: 9 AM – 3 PM
- Sunday: Closed
See those evening hours until 7 PM? And Saturday until 3 PM? Those aren’t accidents. Those are for the parents who work during the day. The university student who has classes every morning. The shift worker who sleeps until noon. The family that can’t afford to miss another afternoon of work.
No More Choosing Between Your Smile and Your Paycheck
We’ve had patients tell us they put off dental care for years simply because they couldn’t get an appointment that fit their life. Years. And by the time they finally came in, a small cavity had turned into a big problem. That’s what we want to help you avoid.
When you know there’s a Saturday dentist in Edmonton who welcomes walk-ins and actually stays open, you’re way more likely to book that cleaning. And regular cleanings prevent bigger, more expensive problems down the road. It’s that simple.
What to Expect on a Saturday Visit
Saturday at our clinic feels just like any other day: calm, friendly, and pressure-free. You’ll still see our same team members. Dr. Chandy is still here. The only difference is the parking lot might be a little fuller, because guess what? Everyone else had the same idea.
We direct bill to insurance, follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide, and never upsell you on things you don’t need. So whether you come in on a Tuesday at 6 PM or a Saturday at 10 AM, you’re getting the same honest, gentle care.
A Few Things to Know
Saturday appointments do tend to fill up faster because they’re popular. If you know you need a cleaning, a checkup, or you’ve been dealing with a toothache, it’s a good idea to call ahead. Same-day emergency appointments may be available, but for a routine visit, booking in advance helps you get the time you want.
Also, our clinic is completely wheelchair accessible, and our team speaks multiple languages. So if you’re bringing a family member who has mobility needs or feels more comfortable communicating in their first language, Saturday is no different from any other day.
Stop Putting It Off
We’re not going to lecture you. Seriously. But if you’ve been scrolling past our posts thinking “I really need to make an appointment” for the last six months, take this as your friendly nudge. You don’t have to miss work. You don’t have to pull your kid out of school. You can just come see us on a Saturday.
Give us a call at 587-840-9984 (new patients) or 780-466-6789 (current patients). Or book online. Tell us you need a Saturday spot, and we’ll find one for you. Your smile has waited long enough. Let’s get you back on track, on a day that actually works for you.
