What Some Of Our Patients Are Saying

Wow Confidence rebuilt with a dentist. As a person that is so terrified of the dentist because of previous experiences with other dentists. These guys are amazing. From the moment you walk through the door they take care of you. And absolutely everything was explained through the process. Dr Payne and all his staff are just fantastic. I couldn't recommend these guys anymore. 7******* all the way.

Our Dentists

Dr Clayton Strong

General Dentist

I was born and raised in the southern Alberta area and completed my primary schooling with honours. I participated in many extra-curricular activities, including basketball, soccer, mountain biking, rock climbing and enjoying the outdoors. I then went on to start my post-secondary education at the University of Alberta, where I completed a degree in the sciences. I also had the opportunity during this time to complete a two year service mission in Seoul, Korea. After returning from Korea, I met and married my wife Amie (Evans). My wife and I then moved to Indiana where I was accepted to Indiana University School of Dentistry and went on to complete the four year program. While there, I received an award for my abilities in Prosthodontics (crown, bridge, veneers and smile makeovers). After graduation, my wife, myself and our first child returned to Canada and southern Alberta to purchase Dr. Strong Senior's practice and to raise our family. Our family has grown since that spring of 2005; we now have four children (two girls and two boys) and still love life here in Lethbridge and southern Alberta.
