River City Dental

River City Dental: Family Dentistry in Edmonton

River City Dental is a dental clinic in Edmonton, Alberta, serving patients of all ages, from young children to seniors. Its practice focuses on general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry, with a stated emphasis on clear communication and comfort during visits.

The clinic is part of Canada's 123Dentist network and presents itself as a neighbourhood practice where patients receive explanations in plain language and can plan each treatment calmly.

More Than Two Decades of Service in the City

According to its own historical account, River City Dental has been part of the Edmonton community for more than twenty years. The practice began in 2002 as a small clinic founded by Dr. Von Hagen and Dr. Kevin Zarsky, and over time it grew into a place where families feel at home. The clinic describes a generational continuity among its patients: parents who bring their children and who, over the years, see those children come with their own families.

Professional Team

The practice is led by two general dentists trained at the University of Alberta:

• Dr. Kevin Zarsky (B.Sc., D.D.S.): born and raised in Edmonton, he earned his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Dental Surgery degrees with Distinction. He has been practising since 1996 in preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry, and continues his education in digital techniques and CEREC single-visit crowns.
• Dr. Darcy Burnett (Dip. Hyg., B.Sc., D.D.S.): also from Edmonton, she first completed her Diploma in Dental Hygiene with Distinction and then her Doctor of Dental Surgery, also with Distinction, at the same university. She is described for her calm manner and her interest in ensuring patients feel informed and relaxed during treatment.

Alongside them works a stable team that includes three dental assistants (Darlene, Ericka, and Ashley), three hygienists (Patricia, Jeannie, and Vanessa), and two receptionists (Sonia and Georgette). The clinic highlights that patients often see familiar faces at every visit.

General Dentistry

The general area covers comprehensive oral exams and new patient exams, dental hygiene, oral cancer screening, tooth extractions, root canals, and digital X-rays. The clinic incorporates digital technology into its daily operations.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic treatments include take-home teeth whitening, veneers, dental crowns, the procedure known as Hollywood Smile, and dental bonding.

Restorative Dentistry

For damaged or missing teeth, the clinic offers dental implants, bridges, composite fillings, inlays and onlays, and full or partial dentures. The stated goal is to rebuild strength and comfort with results that look and feel natural.

Guards and Dental Appliances

The clinic also makes and fits night guards, sports mouthguards, and retainers.

Family Care and Flexible Hours

River City Dental presents itself as a neighbourhood clinic designed for families with busy schedules. It offers morning or late-day appointments and is open Monday through Friday, closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Transparent communication, comfort, and treatment predictability are the pillars the clinic itself identifies as distinctive of its care.
