Why Preventive Dentistry Matters

Preventive dentistry helps you maintain healthy teeth and gums while reducing the need for extensive dental treatment. Regular visits allow our dentists to identify issues early—often before you feel symptoms.

Benefits of preventive dental care include:

Lower risk of cavities and gum disease  
Early detection of oral cancer and infection
Reduced need for complex or emergency treatments
Long-term savings on dental costs
Improved overall health and confidence

As a trusted Edmonton dental clinic since 1959, we believe prevention is always better than treatment. Contact us to schedule your appointment today.

Our Preventive Dentistry Services

Professional Dental Cleaning

Thorough cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing alone can’t reach. Our hygienists focus on comfort, gum health, and education to keep your smile healthy between visits.

Dental Exams & Checkups

Comprehensive exams allow our dentists to monitor your oral health, assess bite alignment, check restorations, and identify early signs of decay or disease.

Dental Fillings

If decay is detected early, tooth-colored fillings restore strength and function while preserving your natural smile.

Tooth Extractions

When a tooth cannot be saved, we perform gentle extractions with comfort-focused techniques and sedation options when needed.

Gum Disease Prevention & Treatment

We help prevent and manage gingivitis and periodontal disease through deep cleanings, monitoring, and personalized home-care guidance.

Oral Cancer Screening

Routine screenings help detect abnormalities early, improving outcomes and peace of mind.

Root Canal Therapy

When infection reaches the tooth pulp, root canal therapy relieves pain and saves the natural tooth whenever possible.

Fluoride & Varnish Treatments

Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent cavities in both children and adults.

Nightguards for TMJ & Teeth Grinding

Custom nightguards protect teeth, reduce jaw pain, and help manage TMJ/TMD symptoms.

Athletic Mouthguards

Custom sports mouthguards protect teeth during hockey, football, basketball, martial arts, and more.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came with chipped tooth. Dr. Laatsch recommended to fix cavity in another alive tooth first. Within initially planned time the doctor and his assistant Yulia fixed both. I got great value for the money I paid. A couple weeks have passed, no complains. Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m sure everyone has concerns and even fear about going to the dentist.  Well let me help you overcome that fear.  I see Dr Wehbe at the Strathcona Dental office, and I have never experienced a more warm and stress free practice as you would experience here.  From Dr Wehbe to the office staff and hygiene department, everyone makes you feel comfortable and relaxed.  Professional is the word that comes to my mind when discussing this dental office.  Please take the time to see this office and agree with me that this is an awesome office, when you are experiencing something you are concerned about.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Strathcona Dental after being very disappointed with my last dentist, and I’m so glad I did.

The staff is extremely professional and welcoming. A big thank you to Claire(Receptionist) for the warm welcome and her clear understanding of my situation.

Tatyana (Dental Hygienist) did a fantastic job on my teeth, I could really tell the difference.

Dr. Abdul Wehbe and his assistant Jenny (Dental Assistant) were outstanding. They were very professional, made me feel completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire appointments. You can tell Dr. Wehbe genuinely loves what he does because his work was excellent.

It was the first time I actually felt excited to go to the dentist! Strathcona Dental isn’t just a dental office it’s a great experience.

Thank you to the whole team! I’ll definitely be back.
