From Ewart Dental to
Macleod Trail Dental
Our practice began as Ewart Dental in 1981. Today, Macleod Trail Dental continues that story under Dr. Jennifer Silver at our Heritage Square clinic, welcoming new patients and families who have visited us for generations.
The Practice Story
Dr. David Ewart studied dentistry at the University of Western Ontario and, in 1981, founded Ewart Dental: a patient-centred community practice built on transparency, leading-edge treatment and strong family values. Over the decades it cared for two, and often three, generations of the same families.
As part of his succession plan, Dr. Ewart chose Dr. Jennifer Silver to carry on his work. Dr. Silver first joined Ewart Dental as a dental hygienist for eight years, then returned to school to become a dentist and practised alongside Dr. Ewart as his protégé before taking over the practice as Macleod Trail Dental. New name, same values, same great team.
What This Legacy Means for Patients Today
Practice Longevity
A practice that has served the same community for years brings a depth of clinical experience and refined systems that take real time to build.
Generational Trust
Many families who first came to Ewart Dental now bring their own children here too, a relationship built over real years rather than marketing.
Community Identity
Our Heritage Square clinic welcomes patients from Acadia and neighbouring south Calgary communities.
Updated Technology and Techniques
Materials, technology, and treatment techniques have all advanced significantly since the Ewart Dental days, and patients benefit from a practice that has kept pace while keeping its core values intact.
A Steady Track Record
A long, consistent history of patient care gives new patients real confidence in choosing where to bring their family.
The Same Values, Today's Team
Today's team carries forward the same commitment to transparency and family-centered care that shaped the practice from the beginning.
A Practice with Both Legacy and Modern Direction
Dr. Silver first joined Ewart Dental as a dental hygienist before returning to university to train as a dentist. She later practised alongside Dr. Ewart and took over the practice as Macleod Trail Dental.
