General Dentistry Services at Reliance Dental
Reliance Dental is your local dental clinic in Edmonton to maintain your smile. Our team offers a complete range of services and treatments designed to keep your teeth and gums stable and healthy. General dental care in our Edmonton, AB office includes:
Custom Mouthguard
If you or your child plays contact sports like hockey, football, or basketball, a custom mouthguard is a great way to protect your teeth. Unlike store-bought mouthguards, these are made to fit your mouth exactly. This means they’re more comfortable to wear and offer better protection during sports activities.
Emergency Dental Care
Dental problems can pop up when you least expect them. If you chip or break a tooth, lose a filling, or suddenly feel a sharp toothache, our team offers same-day emergency dentistry care. We’ll treat you quickly to ease your pain and fix the problem so you can get back to your day.
Family Dentistry
We welcome patients of all ages, from little kids to grandparents. Our family dentistry services include regular cleanings, exams, sealants, and fluoride treatments. We’re here to help everyone in your family build good dental habits for life.
Sedation Dentistry
If you feel nervous or scared about going to the dentist, you’re not alone. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry to help you stay calm and comfortable during your visit. Whether you need a simple cleaning or a more involved procedure, we’ll help you feel relaxed every step of the way.
Tooth Extraction
Sometimes a tooth is too damaged or infected to save. In these cases, we may need to remove it to keep your mouth healthy. We perform tooth extractions with care and make sure you feel as comfortable as possible. After the extraction, we’ll give you instructions to help you heal and talk about options to replace the missing tooth if needed.
Preventive Dental Treatments
Routine dental care helps prevent future dental problems by maintaining your teeth and gums today. At Reliance Dental, we provide care at regular dental visits to keep you and your family in good oral health.
Dental Exams
Dr. Chandy will perform a thorough exam at each visit. Dental exams help us find problems like cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer early when they’re easier to treat. These exams give us a chance to check your teeth and gums regularly, so we can catch any changes before they become serious.
Dental Prophylaxis
At Reliance Dental, our professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing at home might miss. This helps lower your chances of getting cavities or gum disease. Regular cleanings with our dental team can prevent gingivitis and more serious gum problems that might lead to tooth loss. Cleanings also help your smile look brighter by removing surface stains.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings that we place on the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (molars). They help keep out food and bacteria that can cause cavities. Sealants can stop cavities before they start to save you money on future dental work.
Sealants are often used for kids, but adults can get them too if their molars have deep grooves that are hard to clean. Our dental team may suggest sealants for adults if they help keep your teeth healthy and strong.
Screenings
Getting regular dental check-ups can help catch problems early, which makes them easier to treat. During these visits, your dentist checks for common issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and even signs of oral cancer.
Dr. Chandy can also look for signs of teeth grinding (called bruxism) or jaw problems, like TMJ disorders. Catching these early means you can get help before things get worse.

General Dentistry FAQs
Do you want to know more? We can help. Read answers to popular questions about general dental care in our Edmonton, AB, dental office.
Do you offer dental cleanings for kids and adults?
Yes, as a family office, we offer professional dental cleanings for children and adults. Regular cleanings help remove harmful bacteria that patients can get when they brush and floss.
For children, these cleanings help prevent cavities and set the foundation for healthy oral habits. For adults, cleanings protect against gum disease, tooth decay, and other dental problems. Our team makes sure every cleaning is comfortable, thorough, and tailored to each patient’s age and dental needs.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes, dental X-rays are safe for patients of all ages. When you visit our office, we use protective lead aprons and thyroid collars to shield your body from unnecessary radiation. X-rays allow Dr. Chandy to see areas that can’t be checked during a regular exam. This helps us detect cavities, infections, impacted teeth, and other dental concerns early.
What is the difference between a dental cleaning and a dental exam?
A dental cleaning and a dental exam are two different parts of your dental visit, and both are important for keeping your mouth healthy. A dental cleaning is when a hygienist removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth. This helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
Dr. Chandy performs a dental exam to check your teeth, gums, and mouth for any problems, like cavities, infections, or signs of oral cancer. Cleanings and exams keep your teeth healthy and catch issues early.
Can I go to the dentist if I have tooth sensitivity?
Yes, you can and should go to the dentist if you have sensitive teeth. You may have sensitivity if you have worn teeth, cavities, gum recession, or tooth damage. We can find the cause and recommend toothpaste, fluoride treatments, or even restorations to reduce your pain.
Can routine visits help if I have bad breath?
Yes, routine dental visits can help manage and prevent bad breath. During your checkups, our dentist and hygienist remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that build up on your teeth and gums. They can also check for underlying issues like cavities, gum disease, or infections that may contribute to persistent odor. Home care and regular dental visits can keep halitosis under control.
Why do I need to visit the dentist twice a year if my teeth are healthy?
Dental visits are still important even if you think you’re in good oral health. Dentists can spot small problems, like cavities, gum disease, or early signs of oral cancer, before they become serious. Regular cleanings also remove plaque and tartar that you can’t completely remove when you brush and floss at home. These visits help prevent bigger dental problems and save you time, discomfort, and money in the long run.
