Redcliff Family Dental Centre is committed to building long-term relationships between our staff, patients, and the community of Redcliff and area. We strive to provide consumer-friendly dental services the whole family can value and afford in a happy, safe environment.
Each patient deserves our focused attention and best efforts to make the experience one that stands far above the norm.
A comprehensive approach to dental care is the foundation of our practice. Our goal is to maintain a quality and service-oriented practice that offers prevention, aesthetic smile enhancement, and function.
We love our technology at Redcliff Family Dental Centre. We are happy to offer our patients same day crowns, digital x-rays and digital impressions that eliminates the need for dental impressions.

He loves the weather and the availability of family-centred activities that he enjoys with his wife, Dr. Leanne Doughty, and three young children. Dr. Solven appreciates that Redcliff is close to a large city but has a small town feel. He is a member of the Medicine Hat Kinsmen Society, enjoys swimming, cooking and photography.
