Expressions Dental

The dental hygienist named Jenna is excellent. She takes a lot of time to explain things to you. In the past I’ve had dental cleanings that were quite painful, but I didn’t experience any pain or discomfort my last visit

In Short?
Excellent Service, Incredibly Human, Painless, Comfortable, Very Reasonably Priced!!!
Long story?
First of all, I would like to help you envision the relationship between me and the dentistry.
I have never been scared of the dentists like most people.
I have always been abashed, aghast, apprehensive, cowed, daunted, dismayed, disturbed, frightened, frozen, have cold feet, horrified, nervous, panic-​stricken, perplexed, perturbed, petrified, rattled, shocked, stunned, terrified, terror-​stricken, timorous, trembling, etc…
You got the picture, right?
There were good reasons behind this exceptional fear. To give you a tiny idea — imagine a root canal being done without ANY freezing. Yep. And that would only account to ¹⁄₅ of the pain I once experienced. (Never mind the terrible treatment and intimidation).
If I ever see that dentist again, I will… Let him stay alive… But I do have the pliers… And will make sure I smack him on the cheek the same way I was smacked when I flew out of the chair in extreme agony.
Since then, every time I sat down into the dentist’s chair, I made sure they knew how TERRIFIED I was. Well, who cared? Is it my luck? Always had very harsh, intimidating dentists.

I am not anymore anywhere close to being like that.
And… I found the dentist WHO REALLY CARES!
And she can make you think you are at the Christian Dior store, even though she is about to pull a couple of your fangs… (I know they called canines in humans, just some of my teeth are so stubborn).
First time I got to experience the gentle magic of a true tooth fairy Dr. DAYA was here, at Expressions Dental. A very expensive (custom colored crown) that I had put on at some snobby SW dental clinic came off in about 4 months. Front tooth. I work with public. Can’t be without the front tooth, you know…
I phoned the night before, and I got an 8 am appointment!
So, there I was, shaking like a… like nothing ever shakes at 8 am…
And here was that sweetest nurse/​assistant/​receptionist (sorry, I am just reentering the dental world without fear, I don’t know how to call this amazingly friendly person) invites me to follow her, and… no, she was not trying to smile wider than the room to intimidate me even more with her perfectly white pearlies… She was friendly and she was very calming.
So, I get into the chair. I am ready with my little speech about my fear of dentists… And I hear this voice, saying simple «Hi, how are you?» And I turn my head to see this petite woman, who seems to be HAPPY to see me!
And… to cut the story short, I went back to that clinic to redo my whole mouth. I DID, NO ONE MADE ME TO!
Today’s appointment was long, very tiring… But we made it through! You know why? Because Dr. DAYA makes sure you feel as comfortable as possible, and though I am the WORST patient ever, she did what needed to be done.
Want to hear a funny? They tried to schedule me for my next appointment three weeks from now. You know what I said? Next Week!
The bottom line: TRUST ME!!! This is great place to open your mouth wide!
Oh, shoot, forgot to mention: Their prices ARE VERY REASONABLE!!!

My Mom woke up this past Saturday morning with an unbearable tooth ache, and after having called her regular dentist to no avail, we started researching walk-​in dental clinics in Calgary.
We decided to try Expressions Dental (formerly Petra Dental Group) because they take walk-​ins and emergency appointments. They told us to come in right away (My Mom’s regular dentist, whom she’s been going to for the last 20 years, said the earliest they could get her in was Monday night at 7pm).
As soon as we got there, we were greeted by two lovely ladies at the front who had us fill out some information. Within 5 minutes, my Mom had already gone in to see first the dental assistant Casey, and then the AMAZING doctor, Dr. Lori Gee.
Dr. Gee suggested she pull the tooth, which she did, and scheduled a follow-​up appointment for one week later, which will be free of charge. 3 X-​rays, 1 tooth pulled and a follow up appointment ended up costing $ 295, which is EXTREMELY reasonable, considering my Mom’s regular dentist charges $ 200 for the Xrays alone.
It’s now been 2 days and my Mom is feeling a lot better. If it wasn’t for Expressions Dental, she would have spent the entire weekend in bed with unimaginable pain. Thanks to this great place, she’s now already half-​healed.
We’ve officially made the switch and will no longer be returning to our regular dentist, because let’s be honest, loyalty is one thing, but foolishness is another.
The team at Expressions Dental is one of the best I’ve ever encountered in a dental office and because of their professionalism, accomodativeness, expertise and affordable prices, they have gained a valuable customer.
If you’re unhappy with your current dentist, I strongly urge you to give the fine people at Expressions Dental a try. You and your teeth will thank me :)
