Prevention is the
Best Treatment
General and preventive dentistry forms the cornerstone of everything we do at Edgemont Dental. Regular check-ups and cleanings aren't just maintenance — they're your first line of defence against decay, gum disease, and more serious conditions.
Our team uses the latest digital technology to identify concerns early, often before you feel any symptoms. This means smaller, less invasive treatments and lower long-term costs.

The Benefits of
Staying Current
Early Detection
Routine exams catch problems — cavities, gum disease, oral cancer — before they become painful and expensive.
Cost Savings
Prevention is always less expensive than treatment. A routine cleaning today can help you avoid far costlier procedures down the road.
Fresher Breath
Professional cleanings remove tartar and bacteria that cause persistent bad breath that brushing alone can't address.
Healthier Gums
Gum disease is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Regular cleanings protect your overall health.
Your Neighbourhood
Dental Home
Edgemont Dental Clinic sits right on Lessard Road in Southwest Edmonton, a few minutes from Callingwood, Lymburn, and the Edgemont community itself. Many of our patients are neighbours before they're patients: people we see at the grocery store, at the rink, or walking the same trails after work.
That familiarity shapes how we practice. Dr. Scott Kershaw and Dr. Nicole L'Heureux built this clinic to feel less like a clinical stop and more like a place families return to year after year, from a child's first cleaning to a parent's next crown.
What to Expect
01
Comprehensive Exam
A thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues. We use digital x-rays and intraoral cameras for a complete picture.
02
Professional Cleaning
Our hygienists remove plaque and tartar from areas your toothbrush can't reach — including below the gumline.
03
Oral Cancer Screening
A quick, painless check of your soft tissues for any signs of concern. Early detection dramatically improves outcomes.
04
Personalized Plan
We review findings with you and create a customized preventive care plan — including home care advice and next-visit scheduling.
Common Questions
How often should I come in for a check-up?
Most adults benefit from a professional cleaning and exam every six months. Some patients with gum disease or higher cavity risk benefit from more frequent visits — we'll recommend the right schedule for you.
What happens if I haven't been to the dentist in years?
No judgment — it happens. We start with a comprehensive exam and a thorough cleaning. Some patients who've been away for a while need a deeper clean (scaling and root planing), which we'll discuss beforehand.
Are dental x-rays safe?
Our digital x-rays use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film. The exposure is minimal — roughly equivalent to a few hours of natural background radiation. They're essential for detecting problems we can't see with the naked eye.
