About Us


Redcliff Family Dental Centre is committed to building long-term relationships between our staff, patients, and the community of Redcliff and area. We strive to provide consumer-friendly dental services the whole family can value and afford in a happy, safe environment.

Each patient deserves our focused attention and best efforts to make the experience one that stands far above the norm.

A comprehensive approach to dental care is the foundation of our practice.  Our goal is to maintain a quality and service-oriented practice that offers prevention, aesthetic smile enhancement, and function.

We love our technology at Redcliff Family Dental Centre. We are happy to offer our patients same day crowns, digital x-rays and digital impressions that eliminates the need for dental impressions.
