Downtown Dental, a general and sports dentistry clinic in downtown Calgary

Downtown Dental is a general dentistry clinic located in downtown Calgary, in the Canadian province of Alberta. Its dentists, Dr. Kristin Yont and Dr. Claire Whitney, approach their work as a long-term relationship with the patient: according to their own presentation, they seek to balance oral health, function, and aesthetics, and they create a personalized treatment plan for each person. The clinic describes itself as a full-service center, treats patients of all ages, and accepts new patients, in addition to working with all types of insurance.

The clinic's catalog covers several areas of dentistry:

• General dentistry.
• Cosmetic dentistry, from tooth whitening to full cosmetic procedures.
• Sports dentistry, with custom-made mouthguards.

• Dental surgery, with some procedures performed in the clinic itself and with IV sedation in certain cases.

When a case goes beyond their area of expertise, the clinic states that it refers the patient to specialists and supports them through the process.

Sports dentistry and ties to the Calgary Flames

The clinic presents itself as the official dentist of the Calgary Flames, an NHL team. Based on that relationship, it notes that it also works with young athletes, both amateur and professional, and that it values the use of mouthguards to protect teeth, gums, and mouth, as well as to reduce the risk of concussions from impact. The mouthguards it offers are custom-made.

Patient-focused approach

Downtown Dental describes the first visit as the foundation of a relationship of trust and mutual respect, and states that it takes time to listen to each patient's needs. The clinic encourages its patients to make it their long-term dental home. In the cosmetic area, it maintains that there is no single aesthetic standard to which a person should conform, and it links the alignment of the bite and jaw not only to aesthetics, but also to respiratory health, blood oxygen levels, and overall health.
