Yes, Vista Dental is currently welcoming new patients. You can request an appointment online or call our office to get started.

You can request an appointment online through our website or call our office directly at (403) 548-7077. Our team will help you take the next step.

After you submit an appointment request, we will be in touch within 1 business day to confirm your appointment time. If you need help sooner, you can call our office.

If you fill out your new patient forms well ahead of your appointment, it's helpful for us because then it gives us time to request your records from your previous office (if applicable.) Please bring your dental insurance information (or your CDCP member card, if you have one), and a list of any medications you take.

Your first visit gives us a complete picture of your oral health. We'll review your medical and dental history, take any X-rays you need, and do a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues. We'll also screen for oral cancer. Your dentist will go over what we find, answer your questions, and walk you through any recommended treatment so you can decide what's right for you.

Transferring your records is simple. Give us the name of your previous dental office and sign a records release form, and we'll request your X-rays and treatment history for you. Most offices send records within a few business days. Having your history on file helps us avoid unnecessary repeat X-rays and continue any treatment you already have in progress.

No, you don't need a referral to book with a general dentist in Alberta. You can call Vista Dental at (403) 548-7077 or request an appointment online. Referrals are usually only needed for specialist care, such as certain oral surgery procedures. If you need specialist treatment, we'll coordinate the referral for you.

Please arrive about 15 minutes early for your first visit. That leaves time to check in, fill out any remaining paperwork, and review your insurance details with our front desk team. If you've completed your new patient forms ahead of time, 5–10 minutes is usually plenty.

Yes. We see patients of all ages and are happy to schedule family members back-to-back or at the same time whenever possible, so everyone is taken care of in one trip. Call our office and let us know how many people you'd like to book, and we'll find the time that works best for your family.

Our dentists are Dr. Mike Atwood and Dr. Ashley Spitz. They provide care for patients in Medicine Hat, Alberta.

Vista Dental Medicine Hat is located at #101, 7 Strachan Bay SE in Medicine Hat, AB, T1B 4Y2. You can also reach us by phone at (403) 548-7077.

Our dentists, hygienists, assistants, and front desk staff are focused on making every visit comfortable and stress-free. We aim to provide a welcoming experience from the moment you contact us. Our experienced team has worked together for a long time.
