Finding a dentist for yourself is one thing. Finding a dental home for your entire family, from your toddler to your teenager, and even Grandma, can feel like a completely different challenge. You want a place where a wiggly five-year-old feels as comfortable as a busy professional getting their teeth cleaned on a lunch break.
At Hermitage Dental in Edmonton, we’ve spent over 33 years building exactly that kind of place. We’re not just a family dentistry clinic. We’re a practice built on the idea that your family’s smiles deserve compassionate, honest care at every single stage of life.
What Does “Family Dentistry” Really Mean?
To us, it’s more than a sign on the door. It means our team, led by Dr. Ranveer Chandy, is just as comfortable showing a child how the “tooth tickler” (we call it a polisher) works as we are discussing the best options for a parent’s worn-down smile.
It means we offer the full spectrum of care under one roof. You don’t need to drive to different specialists across the city for basic needs. From your child’s very first exam to Invisalign for a teen, dental implants for a parent, or gentle care for a grandparent, we handle it all. We never upsell. Our treatment plans are built on need, not commission. It’s the same honest advice we’d give our own family members.
Making the First Visit Fun (Yes, Really!)
We know that a child’s first impression of the dentist can stick with them for life. That’s why we try to make it positive from the get-go. Our team speaks multiple languages. English, Tagalog, French, Hindi, Punjabi, and Ukrainian, so we can connect with kids and parents in a way that feels most comfortable.
And, let’s be honest, a little bribe never hurts! For our young new patients, we offer a free electric toothbrush with their first exam and cleaning. It turns that first appointment into a mission: they come in, do a great job letting us count their teeth, and leave with a cool new tool. It helps build excitement about taking care of their smile.
Built for Real Life
We also understand that “family time” is often just “running around time.” Between school, activities, and work, it’s tough to squeeze everything in. That’s why we offer evening and Saturday appointments. You can often book a visit without your kids missing school or you missing work.
And for our patients with mobility challenges, or for parents pushing a stroller, our clinic is fully wheelchair accessible with convenient parking right outside. We want everyone in the family to be able to get through our doors easily.
It’s the People Who Make the Difference
You’ll hear it in our patient reviews: people don’t just stay with us because we’re convenient. They stay because of the team. Many mention front desk staff who remembers details, checks in on patients, and may even entertain younger patients so mom and dad could have a stress-free appointment.
They mention hygienists who are so funny and kind that you actually enjoy your cleaning. When you walk into our clinic in Edmonton, you’re walking into a team that genuinely likes each other and genuinely likes caring for you. That family feeling is something you can’t fake.
