Your dentist downtown, before work.

02About

Built around a downtown workday.

Dental at the Bow is a general dental clinic on the main level of The Bow. If you work downtown, two things matter most: when we are open, and how easy we are to reach.

Easy to reach

+15 connected, with free validated underground parking in The Bow.

Follow the +15 signs to The Bow, then Suite 105, just off the lobby.

A treatment room: white cabinetry, the chair, and a screen at eye level

Before work

Open from 7 am on weekdays, with 60-minute appointments. Time to explain, and time to ask.

And at every visit: we bill your insurance directly, most plans; fees are explained before treatment begins; the front desk calls back within minutes during open hours; families are welcome.

03New patients

Your first visit, in three steps.

Time to talk, a proper look, then the options and costs. New-patient appointments are typically available within the same week.

Book an Appointment

  1. What brought you in

    Tell us about any concerns, changes you have noticed or goals you have for your teeth.

  2. A thorough look

    Dr. Wu examines your teeth and takes any x-rays your visit needs, then explains what he sees.

  3. What comes next

    Options, timing and expected costs before anything proceeds. We can send your insurer an estimate first.

Direct billing

We bill your insurance directly, most plans.

Dental at the Bow participates in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). See Insurance and Fees for CDCP and private-plan information.

04The rooms

Come in and look around.

A clinic built for the building it is in: bright, quiet and modern, a few steps from the lobby of The Bow.

10Questions

Common questions.

If your question is not here, call the clinic and ask.

  • Are you accepting new patients?

    Yes. Request an appointment and the clinic will contact you to confirm availability. Submitting a request does not reserve the appointment on its own.

  • Do you take the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?

    Yes. Dental at the Bow participates in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).

    Your coverage and any amount you pay depend on your eligibility and the services provided. Contact our team about appointment availability and next steps.

  • Do you bill my insurance directly?

    Where your plan permits it, the clinic submits eligible claims and estimates for you and you pay the remaining portion. Your plan determines coverage and whether direct payment is possible.

  • What should I do if something hurts or is broken?

    Call (403) 313-3000 during clinic hours for current urgent availability. If symptoms feel life-threatening, call 911.

  • Will I know the cost before treatment starts?

    Ask for an estimate at your assessment. Estimates reference the Alberta Dental Fee Guide and remain estimates until the assessment is complete. Nothing proceeds before you have seen the number.

  • I am anxious about dental visits. What are my options?

    Tell the team when you book. Appointments are paced with numbing before anything begins, breaks whenever you need one, and an explanation of each step. Comfort options are discussed at your assessment.

  • Where is the clinic and where do I park?

    Inside The Bow, 500 Centre St S Ste 105, Calgary, AB T2G 1S6.

    Free validated underground parking is available in The Bow. Enter the parkade off 5 Ave SE, between Centre St and 1 St SE, and take the elevator to the main floor. Ask the clinic about parking validation at your visit.
