London Square Dental Centre ★9.7

A northeast Calgary practice that answers in your first language

London Square Dental Centre has been a neighbourhood clinic since 2005, serving Marlborough, Rundle, Pineridge, Castleridge, Falconridge, Martindale and Saddle Ridge. Its dentists trained in the United States, Iran, Punjab and Alberta, and the team works in more than ten community languages. Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu are recorded in the Alberta Dental Association directory; the clinic adds Farsi, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Mandarin and Arabic. Non-Insured Health Benefits paperwork for First Nations and Inuit patients is completed in-house.

Treatments

Check-ups and hygiene, tooth-coloured fillings, oral cancer screening, periodontal therapy, root canal treatment, extractions and wisdom teeth. Restorative and cosmetic work covers crowns, bridges, complete and partial dentures, porcelain veneers, composite bonding, gum contouring and whitening. Orthodontics runs from traditional braces to Invisalign, and the practice is an Invisalign Preferred Provider with more than 500 completed cases. Implant dentistry extends to single teeth, implant-supported bridges, All-on-4 full arches and full-mouth reconstruction, with bone grafting, TMJ appliances and snore guards alongside. Children get sealants, fluoride and space maintainers; walk-in emergencies are seen the same day.

Technology and sterilization

Digital radiography and intraoral cameras, with 3D implant planning done on site. Instruments pass through ultrasonic baths and then hospital-grade STATIM steam autoclaves that are spore-tested monthly, and operatory surfaces are disinfected between patients. The clinic is wheelchair accessible, and two of its registered dentists can transfer a patient from a wheelchair without manual lifting.

Dr. Ravinder (Tanya) Khattra leads the practice and works in cosmetic, implant and sedation dentistry. Dr. Farnaz Yaghoub Pour handles general, cosmetic and preventive care; Dr. Harjeet Singh Jabbal focuses on restorative work, prevention and extractions; Dr. Kevin Kalin, a University of Alberta graduate, brings orthodontics and digital dentistry.

Who it suits

Northeast families who want one chair for toddlers, parents and grandparents; newcomers who would rather describe a toothache in Punjabi, Urdu or Farsi; nervous patients, who are offered nitrous oxide and oral sedation.
