Convenient Access from Haysboro
Heritage Drive marks the line between Haysboro and Kingsland, and Ultima Dental Wellness sits a short way north of it in southwest Calgary. For households searching for a dentist near Haysboro, that means a drive of about 5 minutes from the middle of the community. Our three dentists handle checkups, fillings, crowns and implants in one office, and free parking is waiting when you arrive.
Starting at Haysboro School on 87 Ave SW, head east to Elbow Dr SW and turn north. Follow Elbow Drive up to Heritage Dr SW, go east to Macleod Trail S, then drive north and turn left onto 71 Ave SW. The whole trip covers about 3.0 km and usually takes roughly 5 minutes. You will find us at 506 71 Ave SW #202, about 150 m west of Macleod Trail, and you can pull up our office in Google Maps before you set out.
Along the way you pass close to Woodman School on Elbow Drive, and Heritage CTrain station on Horton Rd SW sits inside Haysboro near the Macleod Trail edge. We also welcome patients from the nearby communities of Chinook Park and Pump Hill. Macleod Trail gets busier at rush hour, so give yourself a few spare minutes for a first-thing appointment.
Haysboro Households and a Family Practice That Knows Them
Haysboro was established in 1958 on land that had once been a dairy farm owned by Harry Hays, who later served as Calgary's mayor. Elbow Drive runs through the middle of the community, and the Glenmore Reservoir forms part of its western edge. Roughly half the homes are single-detached houses and nearly as many are apartments, so the community mixes long-time homeowners, renters and retirees.
That variety is a good match for a family practice. Ultima began more than thirty years ago as a solo family office and today is a new generation of family dentists led by Dr. Richard Krim. A grandparent with an older bridge and a grandchild due for a first checkup can be seen by the same team, in the same chair, with records kept in one place.
New patients often want to see the office before committing to treatment. Ultima offers a free meet and greet for new patients, a relaxed chance to look around, ask questions and meet the people who will care for you. Multiple languages are spoken here, including English, French, Korean and Spanish.
Scheduling is built around working weeks. The office opens at 7:00 AM on Thursdays and stays open until 6:00 PM on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which helps Haysboro residents who ride the Red Line or drive Macleod Trail to work. Monday runs 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM and Friday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Keeping Haysboro Smiles Strong Through Every Decade
Haysboro's age profile leans a little older than Calgary as a whole, and many households are made up of one person. Most of its housing went up before 1980. In practical terms, that often means mouths with decades-old fillings, crowns that have done their job for a long time, and the occasional tooth that has already been lost.
A gap left by a missing tooth is more than a cosmetic issue. Neighboring teeth can drift, the bite can change, and chewing can shift to one side. Replacing the tooth early keeps more of your options open, whether that ends up being an implant, a bridge or a denture.
Ultima places and restores dental implants in-house, using CBCT 3D imaging to plan where each implant goes. Patients do not need to travel to a second office for the surgical step and back again for the crown. Whether an implant suits you depends on bone and gum health, which our dentists check at an exam before recommending anything.
Regular hygiene visits matter just as much later in life. Gum disease often progresses quietly, and older restorations can leak at the edges without causing pain. Seeing the same team at each visit makes it easier to spot small changes before they turn into bigger repairs.
Hygiene appointments use EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy, an air-polishing approach that clears plaque around crowns, bridges and implants. Digital x-rays help track the bone around older restorations from one visit to the next. If a tooth does need to come out, the extraction is handled in the same office, and the replacement can be planned from the start.
For patients who have lost several teeth, dentures remain a dependable choice. When extractions are needed, immediate dentures can be placed the same day the teeth are removed, so you are not left without teeth while the gums heal.
Care You Can Get From a Dentist Near Haysboro
Implant Dentistry
Implants are placed and restored under one roof, with 3D scans guiding the plan. For Haysboro patients replacing a single tooth or several, that means fewer trips and one team following the case from start to finish.
Restorative Dentistry
Worn fillings and cracked teeth are common in mouths that have been well used for decades. A dental crown can protect a weakened tooth, and the digital intraoral scanner replaces many messy impression trays.
Family & Preventative Dentistry
Exams and hygiene visits for every age, from kids at the local elementary schools to retirees who have lived on the same crescent for years. Prevention is the starting point for every treatment plan here.
Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation are both available for longer procedures or for anyone who finds dental visits stressful. When a missing tooth sits between two healthy ones, a dental bridge is another option our dentists will discuss.
Every plan starts with a conversation about your goals and your budget. Pre-treatment estimates are available on request, so you can see what your coverage is likely to pay before any work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Ultima Dental Wellness from Haysboro, and how do I get there?
From Haysboro School it is about 3.0 km, roughly a 5-minute drive. Take 87 Ave SW east, Elbow Drive north and Heritage Drive east, then go north on Macleod Trail and turn left onto 71 Ave SW. That short run makes Ultima an easy dentist near Haysboro, with free parking at 506 71 Ave SW #202.
Can you place and restore a dental implant in the same office?
Yes. Our dentists place implants and complete the final restoration in-house, so you are not sent to a separate surgical office. CBCT 3D imaging maps the bone before treatment, and an in-house 3D printer can produce surgical guides. An exam comes first to confirm the bone and gums can support an implant.
How long do dental implants last?
With good care, a dental implant can last for many years, often decades. The titanium post fuses with the jawbone, while the crown on top may eventually need replacing after normal wear. Daily brushing and flossing, regular hygiene visits and not smoking all help protect the gum and bone that hold the implant in place.
What options are there for patients who feel anxious about dental work?
Two forms of sedation are offered: nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation. Nitrous oxide is breathed in through a small mask during the visit, while oral conscious sedation is taken as medication ahead of time. Your dentist will review your health history and the planned procedure to suggest which option, if either, makes sense for you.
Can I reach the office by CTrain from Haysboro?
Yes. Heritage station on the Red Line sits inside the community, and Chinook station, further north on the same line, is about 1.0 km from the office. Calgary Transit bus stops are also right by the building at 71 Ave SW and 4A St SW. Plan your connection with Calgary Transit's trip planner before an early appointment.
