Dr. Tracy Dawes B.Sc., D.D.S.
GENERAL DENTIST
Dr. Dawes graduated as a general dentist from the UofA in 1997. She was mentored by Dr. Huff in 2000 completely changed her life.
Dr. Dawes loves that dentistry is as much of an art as it is a science. She enjoys creating beautiful functional smiles that make people want to smile.
She is heavily involved in Invisalign for the last 7 years. Clear removable appliance therapy (Invisalign), for Dr. Dawes, is about restoring proper function for patients, the side effect happens to be a beautiful smile. She loves chatting and talking with her patients, the connection she gets with long standing relationships is what brings her to work every day, that and the opportunity to meet so many new people.
She has learned so much in the last 8 years since I joined a study club started by Dr David Galler and the American Academy of Clear Aligners.
She has been trained in a newer technique that builds teeth up with a bonding material. The result looks like crowns or veneers, but it is very conservative as no tooth structure is removed. She is a member of the Spear learning institute and an active member of the study club.
She has been trained in neuromodulators(cosmetic injectables, xeomin and dysport) since 2014 for both therapeutic TMJ treatment and all cosmetic treatment. She also offers dermal filler for cosmetic treatment of lips, cheeks, jowls.
Dr. Dawes is a pinnacle in the Red Deer community, she supports many sports programs, including minor hockey, ringette, volleyball and softball. Giving back through local charities such as the Festival of Trees Emerald Sponsor, Canada Winter Games major sponsor/ Waskasoo Mascot sponsor, Saving Grace Animal rescue, Central Alberta Child Advocacy and multiple school programs. She has also been involved with Plan international since 2002.
While she not at the office she enjoys spending time with her family, husband Brian and two kids Connor and Julia (both in university) and her dog, Rosie.
Dr. Dawes lives an active lifestyle, running, cycling, hiking, wakesurfing. Summer is her favourite season. She loves to read and listen to audiobooks. Recently she restarted her hobby of calligraphy, I haven’t done since her teenage years.
Dr. Dawes is a Gold + Invisalign Provider. Learn More.

As well the girl at the front desk was so awesome! I’m sorry I forget your name but you were so kind and I appreciate all of you guys so much! 😊😊

As well as Tara at the front desk you were very awesome to deal with 😊
I will recommend you guys highly.
Aug ‘24 went y to Dr Miranda & very impressed with my front tooth filling, how it looks. Excellent work!!!!
Dr. Syed's expertise led me to Docbraces, which ultimately improved my overall dental health through upper jaw surgery. I'm so grateful for her guidance. Sharon Jacobs was a fantastic assistant to Dr. Syed, and Shayla made scheduling appointments a breeze with her friendly demeanor.
The entire Riverside Dental team created a welcoming and positive atmosphere. I highly recommend them!
UPDATE: Had MY 1st appointment and was treated so well, I had to come back here and rave about this incredible team again.
Top shelf! 100% recommend.
Firt time in 31 years that I didn't hate being at the dentists.
Would recommend to anyone, even if you are nervous about getting dental work done.
I am happy I have come to Riverside Dental you are greeted by smiles and very helpful reception staff. Everything was explained very well by dental assistant and dentist ..it was actually very comfortable procedure having a tooth removed. Every step of procedure well explained and a page to review at home in what to do and expect in the next couple of days. Thanks to all.
If you’re new to Red Deer and looking for a dental office- pick a different one.
Thank you guys!!! 🤍🦷
I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!
They also gave me a welcome package which was a really nice gesture. This is a gem of a place! Great people!
Happy to recommend them for young and old.
The whole team is great but Bretton especially is fantastic!
I’d recommend them for anyone looking for a new dentistry office to go to 😄
Immaculate as well. Focus is on client comfort.
My hygienist (Shane) was thorough and explained my treatment in great detail. My oral exam and review was completed by Dr. Miranda Wong. I would strongly recommend this facility
Love my Dentist she is simply the best !!
My Hygienist is simply amazing also !!!
It was really nice not to be judged for my less than perfect dental hygiene. Thank you for making me feel comfortable and so relaxed.
All staff were courteous, caring and very professional.
I would highly recommend this clinic.
Shirley Ann (Shan) Knight
And if you have dental phobia… This is the place to go! Very gentle caring hands 🙂
I always have had a pleasant and honest visit. The place is always well kept and clean.
Would recommend to anyone for themselves or kids.
When I started coming to RD it was on the other side of the river and Dr. Huff owned the practice. Dr. Huff was an amazing dentist and person and he hired amazing staff in all areas of his practice.
I met Dr. Dawes after Dr. Huff has hired her as a brand new dentist. She eventually came to own the practice and moved it across the river to where it is now. She’s grown the business too what you see today with 2 hygienist and 4 dentist. It’s amazing how the staff still reminds me of Dr. Huff days as the dentist are all very personable. They make you feel comfortable and are all very friendly. I see my hygienist, Shane, the most, as I get my teeth cleaned every 6 months. I don’t see the dentist very often because I’m lucky and don’t need to see any dentist, my teeth have been very good to me over the last 10 years. I’m not complaining, I’m fast I love it. It goes to shore that if you listen to your Hygienist and your Dentist when it comes to caring for your teeth, it can make your whole body happier.
I just had my cleaning and I feel great. Shane is a relaxed hygienist and he makes you feel comfortable during the whole process.
I do have to go back to see Dr. Laney as they they find a chip in one of my molars. In pretty lucky as far as chips go. It's not bothering me yet but i can feel where the chip is. I’ve booked my appointment right away so that it doesn’t get a chance to turn into a bigger chip....
Thank You to All of the Staff at Riverside Dental, they’re always there when I need therm with a smile on their faces.😊👍🏼
I have massive anxiety, and everyone is so nice and understanding, and they make sure that I’m feeling okay the whole time.
Highly recommend Dr.Dawes for a checkup and the hygienist Shane for a cleaning!
a caring professional practice with amazing staff. Thank you for your years of caring and commitment.
Tracy did the rest of my work and she doesn't rush out of the chair and is very thorough with her check.
All the staff are very courteous and friendly. Great place...5*
I only gave it a 4/5 due to being fairly new.
I would highly recommend Riverside Dental for your dental needs.
I would recommend this office to anyone looking for a dentist .
They got me in fast , direct bill , very informative ,clean and just a great vibe !! Thank you for the great experience.
Would strongly recommend.
I definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good dentist.
I give them 10 out of 10 stars.
I just had some work done, had a seizure in the chair and they were so understanding and didn’t rush me.
Thank you Riverside Dental Centre for your patience and understanding and help. I truly appreciate it, I also have flashbacks from my very old hygiene gal, one that keeps reoccurring in my mind, these guys understand & actually walk you through the whole process without leaving stuff out.
I truly appreciate everything you do to go above and beyond to help your patients. Thank you so very much for all you do.
I’ve been seeing Dr.Tracey, Chanel and Nancy for ages, and have always had an excellent experience. The level of care is second to none.
10⭐️
Shannon walked through the entire process, and made sure I was comfortable, the whole time of my appointment.
Thank-you
We have a 9 person household and our whole family enjoys coming here. We trust that we are always in good hands and feel comfortable, and safe. The dentists are absolutely unbeatable with their knowledge, suggested treatment plans, scheduling, and hours. If I could give 10 stars I would ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This morning, Dr. Brianne worked on a broken molar, and crowned it. I was so happy she could prepare the molar and make the crown in one appointment........it was basically quick and painless!!
This afternoon, I went back for a cleaning. The staff are great, and the clinic radiates a "feel good" atmosphere. (I actually look forward to going back......never thought I would ever say that about a dental clinic! 🙂 Thank you for making me feel so at ease.
I would highly recommend this place!
From start to finish I was treated with kindness and respect. Dr. Tolman was very good about explaining procedures and time frames for the work I needed. It was clear from the start that my comfort was his top concern. Would recommend this office to anyone!
I really appreciate the care that Shane gives me when cleaning my teeth. Very efficient and Awesome job.
Thank you and see you next time.
