Downtown Calgary  ·  T2P 1K3  ·  Accepting new patients

Two dentists.
One downtown clinic.
Calgary's, for the long haul.

Dr. Kristin Yont and Dr. Claire Whitney run a boutique practice at 215 9 Ave SW — the same two faces, every visit, for general, cosmetic, sports, and emergency dentistry. Insurance and the Canadian Dental Care Plan welcomed.

The Calgary Credential

The clinic an NHL team already trusts.

The Calgary Flames hold their medical partners to a higher bar than any marketing claim could meet. We are the team's official dentist — which means the bar for elite-athlete dentistry in Calgary is the same bar we hold for everyone who sits in our chair.

/ The Problem 01 / 04

The Calgary dentist problem.

There are around four hundred dental clinics in Calgary metro. Most want your insurance card by Tuesday and your loyalty by Friday — but rotate a different dentist through your chair every six months until you stop coming back.

That model works for the clinic. It does not work for the patient. Continuity is what lets a dentist notice the small change before it becomes the expensive change.

Downtown Dental is built the other way: two dentists, one chair you'll recognise, and a treatment plan that gets longer each time you visit — not shorter.

/ The Mechanism

How a two-dentist clinic actually changes the appointment.

/ 01

The same two faces.

Dr. Kristin Yont or Dr. Claire Whitney sees you every visit. Your history lives in one of their heads — not in a chart-only handoff between five rotating providers. You stop having to re-explain the back molar you've been worried about since 2022.

/ 02

Time on the clock.

We take our time and listen to your needs — verbatim from the dentists themselves. The 7am weekday opening was designed for the downtown commuter who cannot afford a two-hour appointment in the middle of the workday.

/ 03

Calgary-trusted credentials.

Official Dentist of the Calgary Flames. The trust threshold an NHL team holds its medical partners to is higher than any marketing claim could meet. If we are the bar for elite-athlete dentistry in Calgary, we are easily the bar for everyone else.

At Downtown Dental, our dentists aim to create long-term relationships with our patients.

The Dentists

Two dentists. One clinic. Calgary, for the long haul.

Downtown Dental is built around a small idea: the dentist who saw you last is the one who should see you this time. We treat our team as family and our patients as an extension of it — and we encourage you to make our office your dental home for the next decade, not the next visit.

Health and lifestyle are at our core. We balance overall dental health, function, and aesthetics — and we take our time doing it.

/ Services

Eleven services. One chair.

From a child's first cleaning to a same-day emergency, the full clinic moves under one roof at 9th Avenue SW.

/ 01

General & Family Dentistry

Cleanings, fillings, kids' first visits, the recurring care that keeps everything else easy. Open at 7am so the appointment fits the day.

/ 02

Cosmetic Dentistry

Whitening, veneers, cosmetic restoration. Work that matches you, not a template — "no single aesthetic standard a person should fit."

/ 03

Sports Dentistry

Custom-made mouthguards built to the standard the Calgary Flames hold their medical partners to. Recreational athletes are welcome on the same chair.

/ 04

Emergency, Surgery & Sedation

Same-day emergencies. Implants, wisdom teeth, oral surgery (with IV sedation when appropriate). Specialist referrals when a case is beyond our scope.

Downtown, the CORE. The mountains in the backyard, the river one block north, and the chair you'll sit in for the next ten years on the ground floor of a tower at 9th Avenue.

/ Questions

Four honest answers.

The blockers that come up most often, answered without marketing.

Yes — Dr. Yont or Dr. Whitney, depending on availability. It is a two-dentist practice on purpose. You will not be passed across a rotating roster.
All insurance plans are accepted, plus the federal Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). We will direct-bill what we can.
No. The first visit is the new-patient experience — listening first, then a plan you co-decide. We don't moralise the time away.
