At your first appointment with us at Woodbend Dental in Leduc, we aim to make you feel welcome and comfortable from the moment you arrive. Our clinic is dedicated to serving families, adults, children, and seniors from Leduc, Hawthorn Way, West Leduc, Nisku, Beaumont, and Leduc County, and we are always happy to meet new patients of all ages and backgrounds. Our approach is built on clear communication and patient-friendly care, with the goal of making your experience as smooth and positive as possible.
How Long Will Your First Visit Take?
Your first appointment will usually take between 60 and 90 minutes. We set aside this time so we can get to know you, answer your questions, review your concerns, and ensure you never feel rushed through any part of your care.
Welcome and Health History Review
When you arrive, our friendly team will greet you and review your health and dental history. This helps us understand your unique needs, any ongoing health conditions, and what you are hoping to achieve from your dental care.
Thorough Examination and Modern Diagnostics
We’ll conduct a thorough oral examination and may take digital X-rays if indicated, using modern equipment to ensure both comfort and accurate diagnosis. Our technology includes digital X-rays and intraoral cameras for low-radiation, fast, and detailed assessments.
Gentle Cleaning and Personalized Treatment Plan
A gentle dental cleaning is often included in your first visit, along with a conversation about your oral health goals and any concerns you may have. We explain all recommended treatment options, answer your questions, and work with you to create a personalized plan tailored to your needs.
Open Communication and Patient Support
We believe open communication is essential, so you’ll know exactly what to expect at every stage of your appointment. Our team encourages your questions throughout your visit, whether it’s your first dental check-up or you’re joining us after many years with another office.
New Patient Perks and Upfront Pricing
Every new patient receives a complimentary teeth whitening kit or an electric toothbrush when attending their first check-up and cleaning. You’ll also enjoy a no-obligation consultation for any cosmetic or orthodontic treatment you wish to discuss. We provide direct insurance billing for most major plans, including CDCP and NIHB, and help with your paperwork to simplify the process. For urgent needs, we reserve same-day emergency slots so you don’t have to wait. All treatment plans are explained in detail, with transparent, upfront pricing so you always know what to expect, no surprise bills.
Our Location, Hours, and Booking Options

For Anxious or Nervous Patients
If you feel nervous about your first visit, let us know when booking. We’re experienced in helping anxious patients and can discuss the comfort options available to you, so you can feel supported throughout your care.
Children’s First Appointments
For children, we create a gentle, positive introduction to dental care. This includes a tour of the office, a fun ride in the dental chair, and time to explore some of the tools we use in a non-intimidating way. We gently count and examine your child’s teeth, check gum health, and share brushing tips, fluoride advice, and dietary guidance with parents. Parents are encouraged to stay in the room and are actively involved in their child’s visit.
Treatments Tailored to You
X-rays, cleanings, or additional treatment are only recommended when appropriate to your situation and discussed with you first.
