He has a strong belief in achieving excellence through continued education. His constant reading of peer-reviewed dental journals and attendance at a multitude of advanced dental education seminars throughout the world illustrates his dedication.

Dr. John Hubbard
GENERAL DENTIST
I have been a proud member of the Alberta dental community for 20 years. I am part owner of Summit Dental where I practice as a senior dentist. I received both my B.Sc. in Anatomy and Doctor of Dental Medicine degrees from the University of Saskatchewan, graduating from their College of Dentistry in 1998.
I am a member in good standing with the Calgary District Dental Society, the Alberta Dental Association and College, the Canadian Dental Association, the FDI World Dental Federation, and Spears Education. I remain committed to professional development and am currently working toward my Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry.
My wife Natasha and I have been blessed with three wonderful sons. We are closely involved with our community through charities and sport. The relationships we have developed while receiving fantastic care from the Alberta Children’s Hospital have led to our support of their Gastroenterology and Rheumatology units, the Arthritis Society, Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, and the Canadian Liver Foundation. I have always enjoyed running, and in 2017 had the opportunity to combine these two passions by completing the Confederation 150KM event as part of the Scotiabank Calgary Marathon. Through this event, Natasha and I raised $25,000 for the Alberta Children’s Hospital. I have also competed in various other ultramarathons in Alberta including the Canadian Death Race 125km, the Lost Soul Ultra 100km and 100 miles, the Blackfoot Ultra 50km and 50 Mile, and the Iron Legs 60km.
My practice philosophy is centred on providing exceptional care for my patients. I have assembled a fantastic team of dental professionals, and we take great pride in making your whole experience with us comfortable and safe. The majority of our patients have been with us for many years; we have numerous three-generation families, as well as patients who travel to see us from outside the Calgary area.

Dental Reviews From Patients

My first visit today was nothing but pleasant since the moment I stepped into the clinic. The ambience was perfect, and everybody who had helped me were absolute sweethearts. The check-up itself was very thorough and informative—they explained the processes all throughout, checked on me periodically, and even referred me to the appropriate place afterwards to find the underlying reason for my habit of grinding my teeth at night. It’s great that they dive deeper beyond just the current status of your teeth and focus on your overall health. They also offered a free electric toothbrush, so that was a plus! Overall an amazing and comfortable experience! I typically dread having to just sit there for a long period of time while having my teeth cleaned, but today was actually enjoyable. They gave me the remote control for the TV, and they even had headphones in case I wanted to watch with audio! Heh

As a new patient at Summit Dental, I found my introductory visit to be to be top notch. The staff were very friendly and professional. Each procedure was clearly explained and completed with the utmost concern for my well-being. The reception, explanation of the several components of this first visit, the actual procedures, and the discussion of next steps were all well completed and coordinated by the team. I recommend Summit Dental to any and all individuals requiring dental work.Kevin.

The staff is pleasant and goes far and beyond the level of care. I had to get crowns done and my orthotic’s office was impressed with Dr Kelly’s work; as well as me🙂 I chose the porcelain crown which they made in office. The care that was given was amazing. I am a wimp and Dr. Kelly had someone holding my hand and soothing me which was highly appreciated it. FYI: if you get cold sores they have a laser machine that treats them. The new technology's is supercool and painless. It took the sting out immediately and quickens healing. It’s supposed to help prevent further cold sores from forming.

I had a crown done by Dr. Hubbard and couldn't be more pleased with the results. He is a true perfectionist and it shows in his work. Not only did he ensure the crown was done well, but he also took the time to understand my concerns and preferences. It's clear that he cares deeply about his patients and wants to deliver the best possible outcome. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a dentist who prioritizes quality and patient satisfaction.

Ven Guerra

Thumbs up for the service but thumbs down for the business hours. Being open only @ 8-5 Tuesdays to Thursdays and 8-3 on Fridays is bad for those who don't have that much time flexibility.

Dr Hubbard and staff are always empathetic, and competent in delivering excellent dental care. They are careful to explain what they are going to do and continue explaining and talking during the procedure. They do whatever they can to minimize pain and keeping checking that you are okay. The front desk staff are welcoming and personable when you come and when you leave. Excellent people and excellent dental care.

Such friendly staff! I used to dread going to the dentist, but they are so nice and friendly that I don’t mind going at all. They always welcome me with a smile and treat me like a person and not a customer. Abby, who does my cleanings remembers the rest of my family and my travels and she seems more like a friend and a neighbour than a hygienist. I have no issues recommending the team at Summit Dental to anyone looking for a dental team. They are wonderful!!

Very good first visit experience. Thank you everyone. Mike Phillips

Been going here for 20+ years. If you need it, the needles are pretty much painless. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They are, for the most part, good at describing procedures. They are within the Albert guidelines. Pretty easy at getting last minute appointments. They have their DDS designations, unlike these new places that have popped up. I would (and have) recommend(ed).

I've been going to summit dental for years and words cannot explain how amazing they are and how much I would reccomend them. Dr. Hubbard is the kindest and most compassionate dentist I've ever had. He's always been really respectful and understanding towards my fear of needles and dentistry as a whole. The reception staff is also absolutely amazing. 10/10 for this whole team

I have been in their clinic at least 3 times , unfortunately nothing done, they said that my insurance won't pay for all charges. I do understand, and I can pay the rest that not covered by my insurance. The dentist refused to do any work on my crown and sent back to my previous dentist( what the purpose of coming and asking for help if you cannot help). I had to cancel one appointment for cleaning due to an emergency, and I have tried twice to call and book another appointment, they keep saying "we don't have any appointment for you", and "we are going to call you when there is an availability". I have been waiting for a month now and they don't bother to call and book an appointment. Another visit to same clinic I was told by the dentist that I have broken tooth and we will call you and let you know how much will cost to fix it, it been over a month now and I have not heard from them. Do they select patients with good insurance only? Because we only have AISH insurance. It seems that is not benefiting them to serve low income patients.
