Convenient Access from Innisfail
Three dentists, in-house CBCT imaging and surgical care for difficult wisdom teeth are about 40 minutes down Highway 2 from Innisfail at Didsbury Dental Centre. People researching a dentist in Innisfail, AB, sometimes widen the search when they want implants, sedation or cosmetic work planned and finished by one team. Our office is in downtown Didsbury, and the QEII does most of the work of getting you here.
From the Innisfail Town Office on 53 Street, take 49 Avenue to 50 Street and follow 50 Street south to the Queen Elizabeth II Highway. Drive south on Highway 2, take the Highway 582 exit and head west into Didsbury. Once you reach 20 Street, turn left and continue a short distance south to the office.
The trip is about 52 km, a little longer than a typical commute but simple to drive. You will find us at 2220 20 St, Didsbury, AB T0M 0A2, and the practice's map listing gives live directions. Neighbours in Bowden and Olds make the trip to our office too.
One Team for Bigger Plans: Why Innisfail Patients Choose Us
Innisfail grew from a settlement called Poplar Grove, drawn by fertile land along the Red Deer River, and took its current name from a Gaelic word the town translates as "Isle of Destiny". The railway arrived in 1891, and farming, ranching and small industry shaped the town that followed. You can read more on the town's own About Innisfail page.
The 2021 Census counted about 8,000 residents in Innisfail, a town in Red Deer County with a full calendar of its own. Centennial Park, the town's largest, sits at 50 Street and 60 Avenue, and the town has about 20 km of trails, with Napoleon Lake and Dodds Lake adding more room to get outside. The Innisfail & District Historical Village bills itself as one of the largest museums in Central Alberta, and Gleniffer Lake Reservoir to the west offers camping, day use and boat launches.
For patients in a town with its own services, the drive makes sense for a specific reason. For some it is a complex extraction or an implant that needs bone grafting; for others it is the comfort of IV sedation or a cosmetic plan that combines several treatments. Having three dentists in one office means those needs can be met without a chain of referrals.
Implants, Wisdom Teeth and Cosmetic Care: What Innisfail Adults Should Know
Wisdom teeth tend to cause trouble in the late teens and twenties, when they come in crowded, tilted or only partly through the gum. Dr. Jaiswal treats complicated surgical wisdom tooth extractions, and our CBCT scanner shows the roots and nearby nerves in 3D before surgery is planned. Sedation is available for patients who are anxious about the procedure.
For adults replacing a missing tooth, implants offer a fixed, natural-feeling option. Planning, bone grafting where needed, placement and the final crown all happen here, and the crown is made in our on-site lab. New patients can book a Free Dental Implant Consultation to find out whether an implant suits them and how the steps would fit their schedule.
Cosmetic concerns are just as valid a reason to visit. Chipped edges, small gaps and worn front teeth can often be improved with Cosmetic Bonding & Same-Day Injectable Veneers, while straightening may call for Invisalign or traditional braces. Dr. Orser also provides facial rejuvenation treatments, which can be discussed alongside smile work.
Gum health sits underneath all of it. Implants, bonding and veneers last best in a mouth with healthy gums, so a thorough cleaning and periodontal check usually come first. Our hygiene team uses guided biofilm therapy with the GBT Airflow system, which removes plaque and stain gently before the dentist looks at bigger plans.
Timing helps on a 40-minute drive. Every weekday starts at 7:00 AM, so an early cleaning or consult can be done before a full day of work, though winter roads on the QEII can stretch the trip.
Services That Make Us a Practical Choice When You Need a Dentist in Innisfail, AB
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Complicated and surgical wisdom tooth cases are handled in our office with 3D imaging for planning. Innisfail teens and young adults can have the consult and the surgery in one place.
Dental Implants
When a tooth is lost, Dr. Jaiswal can graft thin bone and place the implant at the same office that scanned it. The new crown is then made in our on-site lab.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Bonding, injectable veneers and other cosmetic treatments refresh chipped, worn or uneven front teeth. The dentist matches the plan to what bothers you most about your smile.
Orthodontics
Invisalign, traditional braces and Myobrace give teens and adults several ways to straighten teeth. Aligner check-ins can be timed for early-morning slots.
Preventative Care
Cleanings and exams keep implant work, bonding and natural teeth healthy for the long run. Regular visits also let the team spot a cracked filling or early gum change before it needs bigger work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Didsbury Dental Centre from Innisfail, and how do I get there?
From the Innisfail Town Office it is about 52 km, roughly 40 minutes by car. Head south on 50 Street to the QEII, follow Highway 2 south, then take Highway 582 west into Didsbury and turn left on 20 Street. Patients who would otherwise search for a dentist in Innisfail, AB, often find the highway makes the trip easy.
How many dentists work at your practice?
Three. Dr. Richard Krim, Dr. Hemant Jaiswal and Dr. Lindsay Orser share the schedule, working alongside registered dental hygienists and an on-site lab. Between them they cover general and family care, implants, sedation, surgical wisdom teeth, orthodontics and cosmetic treatment, so most patients can complete their care without being referred to another office.
Is the dental implant consultation free for new patients?
Yes. New patients can book a Free Dental Implant Consultation to talk through a missing tooth or a failing one. The dentist reviews your health, examines the area and explains whether an implant, a bridge or another option fits. If 3D imaging is needed, a combined implant and CBCT consultation is also offered to new patients.
What is a CBCT scan, and when is one needed?
A CBCT scan is a 3D X-ray of the teeth, jaw and surrounding structures. Dentists use it to measure bone and locate nerves before placing an implant or removing a difficult wisdom tooth. Our scanner is in-house, so you will not need to travel elsewhere for imaging or surgical planning, which saves Innisfail patients an extra trip.
Can bonding close a small gap between front teeth?
Often, yes. Bonding adds tooth-coloured material to the sides of the teeth to narrow or close a small gap, usually without removing healthy tooth structure. Injectable veneers are another option when several front teeth need reshaping. A larger gap may be better suited to Invisalign, and the dentist can compare those choices with you at a consult.
