Convenient Access from Fairview
Fairview sits on the southeast Calgary side of Macleod Trail, and Ultima Dental Wellness is right across it in Kingsland, about 5 minutes away by car. For parents who want a dentist near Fairview that can see the whole family, our three dentists offer checkups, children's hygiene, orthodontics and emergency care at one address.
Leaving Fairview School at 7840 Fairmount Dr SE, follow the school access road to Fyffe Road SE, head west, and turn south on Fairmount Drive SE. At Heritage Drive turn west, then go north on Macleod Trail S and turn left onto 71 Avenue SW. The office at 506 71 Ave SW #202 sits between Macleod Trail and 4A St SW, about 2.8 km and roughly 5 minutes from the school. Free parking is available, and our Google Maps location loads the route in one tap.
Le Roi Daniels School on Fyffe Road SE is near the start of the drive, and Heritage CTrain station sits just southwest of the community across Macleod Trail. Our closest neighboring pages cover Kingsland, directly west across Macleod Trail, and Acadia, south across Heritage Drive. Macleod Trail is busier at rush hour, so allow a little more time around school drop-off and pickup.
Family Dentistry for Fairview Households
Fairview is a City of Calgary community bounded by Glenmore Trail to the north, Blackfoot Trail to the east, Heritage Drive to the south and Macleod Trail to the west. Calgary annexed the area in 1956, and it grew with late-1950s and early-1960s bungalows on large lots along curving streets. Fairmount Drive SE runs north to south through the middle and splits the community into its two main areas. The City's Fairview community profile has more background on the area.
About three in four homes are single-detached houses, and most are owner-occupied. Two Calgary Board of Education schools, both offering the Traditional Learning Centre program, sit inside the community. Le Roi Daniels serves kindergarten to grade 3, while Fairview School teaches older students.
Ultima started more than thirty years ago as a solo family practice, and it still runs on that idea: one team that knows every member of the household. Parents can book their own visits alongside their kids, and each person's history stays in the same chart. When a younger sibling starts coming in, the dentists already know the family's habits and risk factors.
That continuity also helps adults. Parents who last saw a dentist years ago can come back without judgment, starting with a thorough exam and a clear plan. Multiple languages are spoken at the office, including English, French, Korean and Spanish, which helps families who are more comfortable discussing care in another language.
Protecting Young Smiles East of Macleod Trail
Most childhood cavities can be prevented, but each child's risk is different. Diet, brushing skill, saliva and the deep grooves on newly erupted molars all change how likely decay is to start. Dr. Amy Yoo believes that good oral habits formed in childhood are crucial to preventing disease for life, and that belief shapes how young Fairview patients are seen here.
Hygiene visits for kids are hands-on. Children learn the right brushing angle along the gumline, how long to spend in each area, and when to start flossing, and parents get the same coaching to use at home. Fluoride and a personalized recall schedule help keep enamel strong between visits.
As adult teeth arrive, the dentists watch how the jaws and bite are developing. Early orthodontic treatment during active growth can simplify or shrink the scope of later care. Thursday visits begin at 7:00 AM and Tuesday and Wednesday visits run until 6:00 PM, which gives Fairview parents options around the school day.
Older teens bring their own questions, from wisdom teeth to straighter smiles before graduation. Wisdom teeth are evaluated with 3D imaging and removed in-house when the evidence supports it, while well-positioned teeth may simply be monitored. Clear aligners fabricated on our in-house 3D printer let many teens straighten their teeth without visible brackets.
Care for Every Age From a Dentist Near Fairview
Family & Preventative Dentistry
Thorough exams check each tooth for decay and wear, measure gum pockets, screen soft tissue for oral cancer and assess the bite. Our Children's Dental Hygiene visits teach kids brushing and flossing that actually works.
Orthodontics
Options include interceptive treatment for younger children, braces for complex movement and clear aligners printed in-house for teens and adults. Each plan looks at bite, jaw alignment and airway as well as appearance.
Emergency Dentistry
Playground falls and sports collisions happen. The office will make every effort to see emergency patients the same day, whether the problem is a knocked-out tooth, a broken tooth or sudden swelling.
Restorative Dentistry
When decay does get started, the dentists choose the smallest restoration that will reliably fix it. Digital x-rays and 3D imaging help them see the full extent of a problem before treatment.
Sedation Dentistry
Parents who have put off their own dental work because of anxiety have options. Nitrous oxide calms within minutes and wears off quickly, and oral conscious sedation is available for longer or more complex visits.

What Our Patients Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Ultima Dental Wellness from Fairview, and how do I get there?
Our office is about 2.8 km from Fairview School, roughly 5 minutes by car. You take Fyffe Road SE and Fairmount Drive SE to Heritage Drive, go west to Macleod Trail S, head north, then turn left onto 71 Avenue SW. Families looking at a dentist near Fairview will find free parking when they arrive.
How often should my child have a dental checkup?
Twice a year suits many children, but not all of them. Kids with a higher risk of decay, braces or other concerns often benefit from more frequent visits. Our dentists look at each child's diet, habits and tooth anatomy and recommend a recall schedule that fits what your child actually needs, rather than a fixed rule.
Why does my child keep getting cavities even though they brush?
Brushing alone often misses areas, and other factors raise risk too. Diet, saliva, deep grooves on new molars and brushing technique all affect how easily decay starts. A hygiene visit can pinpoint what is driving the problem, teach your child a more effective routine, and add fluoride to help strengthen the enamel.
Can our whole family see the same dentist?
Yes. The practice cares for children, teens, adults and older patients under one roof, from a child's first visit to adult maintenance and restorative care. Families who stay together here benefit from dentists who know their history and risk factors, and who can spot changes over time that a new provider might miss.
Do you offer fluoride and sealants for children?
Yes, both are offered when they are clinically appropriate. Professional fluoride strengthens developing enamel and helps reverse very early decay before it becomes a cavity. Sealants coat the deep grooves of newly erupted molars, blocking bacteria and food from the spots most prone to decay during the years when children are most vulnerable.
