Magathan Dental Centre

Magathan Dental Centre

Who We Are

The Magathan Dental Centre is synonymous with dental work with sedation or general anesthesia. We are a fully accredited dental surgical facility which we received after a process of accreditation by the Alberta Dental Association and College and the Ministry of Health. The result is that we are a licensed clinic to have any form of sedation, including general anesthesia. All services are provided by a general dentist qualified to administer general anesthesia.

We are dedicated to those who suffer mild to severe, even debilitating, dental phobia. That means expert sedation techniques together with the understanding and support necessary in building trusting relationships.

OVERCOME YOUR DENTAL FEAR

Do you have a high fear of dental visits or a previous traumatic dental experience? Perhaps you hate needles or have a difficulty getting numb?

At the Magathan Dental Centre we recognize that most, but not all dental procedures can be managed with local anesthesia, but we recognize the need for deep sedation and general anesthesia to manage pain, fear and anxiety in patients for whom local anesthesia is ineffective. Whether you or your children suffer from extreme dental phobia or only shudder slightly at the sight of a dentist’s chair, our goal is to make your visit as comfortable as possible so you can enjoy good dental health.

Dr. Cheryl Cable

We are extremely fortunate to have Dr. Cable as part of our team. Edmonton born and raised, Dr. Cable received a Bachelor of Science Degree, with honours from the University of Alberta in 1992. She went directly from graduating with a DDS with distinction from the University of Alberta in 1997 to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota for Prosthodontic and Maxillofacial Prosthodontic specialty training completed in 2001. She is the second Canadian to have completed training in this program. There are only two training programs in this field in North America – the other is a post specialty program at MD Anderson. The residency is four years in duration and only one resident is accepted every two years.

Her training covered the following areas by world renowned specialists: Anatomy, Biostatistics, Dental Materials, Dental Laboratory Techniques, Orofacial Pain, Medical Oncology, Oral Diagnosis, Otorhinolaryngologic Surgery, and Radiation and Medical Oncology. This is in addition to conventional and advanced Removable, Fixed and Maxillofacial Prosthodontics. The majority of the patients seen in these clinics were seeking second and more professional opinions on extremely complex and life threatening clinical situations. They travelled from around the world and were at points of complete exasperation. She has seen patients with devastating life situations and have helped them function and achieve results they did not think possible. For that she is incredibly grateful.

Dr. Cable is a board certified specialist in Prosthodontics (Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada – obtained at the first possible opportunity after her specialty education was completed) – with advanced training in Maxillofacial Prosthodontics. The mission of The Royal College of Dentists of Canada is to maintain the high standards of practice of the recognized dental specialties by examining qualified candidates for admission to Fellowship in the College and by working with stakeholders to establish standards for dental specialty education, practice and certification. In addition, Dr. Cable works for the Provincial Government of Alberta on a dental consultant basis.

Prosthodontics, also known as dental prosthetics or prosthetic dentistry, is one of nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association, Royal College of Dentists of Canada, and Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons. Prosthodontics is the dental specialty pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation and maintenance of the oral function, comfort, appearance and health of patients with clinical conditions associated with missing or deficient teeth and/or oral and maxillofacial tissues using biocompatible substitutes. Maxillofacial prosthodontists treat patients who have acquired and congenital defects of the head and neck (maxillofacial) region due to cancer, surgery, trauma, and/or birth defects. Treatment is multidisciplinary, involving oral and maxillofacial surgeons, plastic surgeons, head and neck surgeons, ENT doctors, oncologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and other healthcare professionals.

Dr. Cable works as part of an internationally recognized team on patients who have severe functional impairment and utilize her extensive training in this area to restore their function. Dr. Cable uses her private practice time to work as a maxillofacial prosthodontist and has been fortunate to work at COMPRU – now known as iRSM – as well as a Prosthodontist with a senior colleague (Dr. Mel Taskey) who has been an incredible mentor in the field of motor vehicle accident patients. She is part of the Functional Assessment team at iRSM and has full access to the resources at the Misericordia Hospital and at the University of Alberta. She has hospital privileges at several hospitals, and is proud to assist fellow Albertans in their rehabilitation efforts.

Dr. Taskey’s areas of specialization include the treatment and therapy of motor vehicle accident victims; orthodontic therapy as an alternative to surgery for TMJ patients; the use of implants in establishing TMJ stability and occlusal maintenance; treatment and therapy for cleft palate patients; and extensive experience with difficult crown & bridge and denture patients.
