Rideau Dental on 4th Street
Your smile’s new best friend
Dentistry with heart. Relationships with purpose.
Walk in, and you’ll notice it right away: familiar faces, real hellos, and an unhurried pace.
We take time to listen, explain things clearly, and make sure you feel comfortable, whether you love the dentist or you’d rather be anywhere else.
Let’s make this easy
A note from Dr. Janet Kan
Whether you’re coming in for a routine visit or you’ve been putting dentistry off for a while, you’ll be met with patience, kindness, and clear answers. The goal is simple: help you feel comfortable, informed, and proud of your smile.
My favourite part of dentistry is helping people feel calm, understood, and genuinely cared for, especially if they’ve had a tough experience in the past.
Dentistry for real people
No corporate vibes
This is a solo-dentist practice with long-term staff, not a rotating cast. You’ll see familiar faces, get consistent care, and feel the difference that comes from a team that truly knows you, your history, and what you want from your smile.
Clear answers
Dr. Kan takes time to explain what she sees, why it matters, and what your options are, without the jargon. You’ll never feel rushed into decisions. Just honest guidance, simple explanations, and support that helps you choose confidently.
Early hours for busy schedules
With early appointments Monday to Thursday, it’s easier to fit dental care into a workday. Book before the office opens, swing by between meetings, and get on with your day, without pushing your health to “someday.”
More done in-house
From prevention and cleanings to fillings, crowns, bridges, and cosmetic smile upgrades, you can take care of more in one place. That means fewer referrals, fewer handoffs, and a smoother experience from first visit to finished results.
Meet Dr. Janet Kan
Dr. Janet Kan believes great dentistry starts with understanding — your oral health, your goals, and the options available to you. Known for her calm, thoughtful approach, she takes time to explain what she sees and help patients feel confident in every decision, especially those who feel nervous about dental visits.
Originally from Winnipeg, Dr. Kan earned her dental degree at the University of Manitoba and has called Calgary home for over 10 years. Outside the clinic, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, travelling, exploring new foods, and getting outdoors with her dog, Pablo, a German Shorthaired Pointer.
