I have decades of history with the "wrong" dentists to the point, I was terrified to even call when…read moremy teeth needed care. I have had to take medications pre-dental appointment to calm my anxiety and stopped that strategy after one incident when I found out I actually drove a car and went to work while under the influence of tranquilizers. I went to one dental clinic in Lacombe, and that was just another sorry episode that only confirmed my fears about dentists. Until my daughter-in-law and son took their family to Aurora. I was so fortunate that my first experience was with Dr. Lowry. The whole clinic, receptionists, assistants and Dr. Lowry, were consistently reassuring me, and comforting me in the first visit - and that was only an examination. My second visit involved two difficult extractions - I felt barely a pinch and the experience was almost cathartic, in terms of my almost lifelong fear of dentists. I just finished my third visit, another extraction - of an infected molar - again.... nothing but reassurance and comfort. I am so confident in Dr. Lowry's ability to handle any dental procedure, especially to those who are terrified of dentists. Thank you so much Dr. Lowry & staff.

I found Riverstone when I was searching for a mercury-free dentist in Red Deer. Their web site…read morementions the concept of Holistic Dentistry: Dentistry should do no harm, and dentists must look at the mouth, teeth, gums and jaws as integral parts of a larger, whole-body system. The health and structural integrity of the mouth both influence and are influenced by everything else going on in the body. Health professionals tend to focus on their area of expertise rather than looking at the body as a whole. Holistic Dentistry looks at the mouth and teeth as they integrate with the rest of the body. Along with being mercury and fluoride free, Riverstone Dental also uses cutting edge technology such as digital X-rays that use a fraction of the radiation as traditional x-ray equipment as well as ozone infused water as part of cleaning and other procedures. Riverstone staff are very friendly and I was delighted to be able to get a next day appointment for a cleaning and general check-up. I had made an in-person visit because of a tooth that was hurting quite badly. Erika handled my cleaning. I have some areas that are very sensitive and she was awesome. Most dental cleanings are quite uncomfortable for me and this is the most comfortable I've been with a cleaning in a very long time. Dr. Price is very friendly and knowledgeable. He explained what was going on along with treatment options in a manner that was simple and easy to understand.
