Take a Virtual Office Tour of Our Calgary Clinic
If you haven’t visited Bite Dental Works, we want you to know what to expect from our Calgary clinic. On this page, take a tour of our office, complete with photos. Once you’re ready, contact us to schedule your appointment.
Patient Reception Area
We have a patient refreshment area stocked with coffee and tea for your comfort while you wait. If you have children, they can amuse themselves in our children’s play area.
Private Consultation Room
Discuss your treatment or financial options in our private consultation room. Patients can view digital pictures of their mouth and learn about their treatment options with our multimedia patient education system. You can discuss financial issues with our treatment coordinator in complete privacy, out of the earshot of others.
Treatment Rooms
Watch cable television or listen to music under a warm blanket while we look after your dental needs. Our treatment rooms are fully computerized so that we can digitize pictures of your teeth, book your next appointment, and print insurance forms or photos before you leave and go to the checkout/account desk.
Checkout/Account Desk
When you leave our office, we make the checkout process as quick and easy as possible. We have office chairs at our checkout/account desk, and your insurance forms will be ready for you when you finish your appointment. You’ll book your next appointment, sign your insurance form, swipe your debit or credit card, and then leave. If you want to that is—feel free to linger in our comfortable reception area!
Children’s Play Area
Your children can enjoy themselves in our play area during your appointment or before and after their own appointments. We have games, puzzles and toys for their entertainment, or they can watch a cartoon or kids’ movie. No adults are allowed—dentists included!
Sterilization Area
We use the most up-to-date sterilization methods available to protect you and your family from cross-contamination. Our sterilization procedure includes a commercial, high-temperature dishwasher and a steam autoclave (which is monitored by the University of Alberta to guarantee efficacy).
Panoramic X-Ray Machine
A panoramic X-ray shows all of your teeth in addition to your full upper and lower jaw. It’s an excellent screening X-ray that uses only very small amounts of radiation to get an image of the entire mouth. It’s also an effective way of viewing the wisdom teeth.
For Your Comfort, We Offer Anaesthetic and Amenities
Bite Dental Works takes extra steps for your comfort. If you’re concerned about experiencing pain during your appointment, we offer a variety of anaesthetic options. To keep you entertained during your stay at our Calgary clinic, we also have a range of amenities.
Pain Prevention
Expert Freezing
When Doctor Hoe was a child in Thompson, Manitoba, his father Bill—who was, of course, a dentist—did all of his dental work for him. He says, “When I was a kid, I had no idea that my dad was giving me a needle—I thought that he made my lip go numb just by wiggling my lip. Needless to say, I made sure that dad showed me how to give expert injections after I got into dental school”. Today, Dr. Hoe is known amongst his patients for these injections.
Topical Anaesthesic
We will numb your mouth with a powerful topical anesthetic before you receive any injections. Many times, patients don’t even feel the freezing after the topical anaesthetic is applied.
Intraosseous Anaesthetic
When Doctor Hoe was a child in Thompson, Manitoba, his father Bill—who was, of course, a dentist—did all of his dental work for him. He says, “When I was a kid, I had no idea that my dad was giving me a needle—I thought that he made my lip go numb just by wiggling my lip. Needless to say, I made sure that dad showed me how to give painless injections after I got into dental school”. Today, Dr. Hoe is known amongst his patients for these injections.
