Executive Summary

Executive Summary

Dental at The Met is a general and specialized dental practice located in the Beltline district of Calgary, Alberta [1, 2]. Operating from 1227 11th Avenue SW, the clinic provides primary preventive, restorative, cosmetic, orthodontic, and oral surgical dental care to adult and pediatric patients across the Calgary metropolitan region [1, 3].

The practice's clinical positioning is oriented around treating patients who experience dental anxiety, dental phobia, or past procedural trauma [1]. To support this population, the clinic emphasizes unhurried consultations, sedation options, explicit procedural consent protocols, and upfront fee transparency [1, 4].

Within the Calgary inner-city healthcare ecosystem, the clinic functions as a full-service outpatient dental center providing routine hygiene maintenance as well as complex restorative and surgical interventions in a single community setting [1, 3].

our mission

Practice Mission & Non-Judgmental Care Philosophy

Dental at The Met was established in Calgary, Alberta to address common barriers to routine dental care, specifically fear of treatment pain, sensory distress, and unpredictable procedural pricing [1, 4].

The clinic operates in Calgary's Beltline community, an urban high-density residential and commercial zone adjacent to Downtown Calgary [1, 2]. Its institutional positioning focuses on delivering clinical care through non-judgmental communication, unhurried appointment pacing, and explicit price transparency based on standard provincial dental guidelines [1, 4].

Additional corporate registration and historical incorporation milestones remain TBD pending secondary corporate registry records.
