On behalf of our entire team we would like to extend a warm welcome to our practice website. We want to provide you with efficient and personalized dental care to help develop loyal and satisfied patients who appreciate how their oral health impacts their overall health. Everyone at the practice is committed to providing you with the very best in dental healthcare. Our goal is to provide proper dental treatment for each individual, absolute transparency, and a friendly atmosphere designed to help you relax and feel truly comfortable.
We think you will appreciate the warm and friendly manner in which we treat patients and in how our team interacts. Our commitment is to apply our dental knowledge and skills in a caring and gentle way, so you can feel at ease as we help you attain the smile you desire in a friendly environment.
Every day all day, our team diligently sterilizes the tools we use, the chairs our patients sit in, and our entire office. With our Cascade White Air Purifier and multiple Jade Air Purifiers, our dental practice also has medical-grade, surgically clean air.
Through excellent preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry with technologies that make dental visits more pleasant than before, we work with you to achieve a smile that can maximize your personal health and appearance, and improve your confidence. We are also a kid friendly office, and we want you to know that we enjoy patients of all ages and getting to know your entire family in our office and out in our local community too.
We have a passion for friendliness and patient satisfaction.

Quality and Safety
While many things have changed since March 2020, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your health and safety. Our office has always followed strict infection control standards and in order to keep us all protected during this pandemic and in the future, we have updated our protocols. We have also added many new air quality and safety features to our clinic including:
-
Surgically Clean Air units surgically scrub the air with a multiple filter system that uses HEPA and Carbon filters, along with UV light. There will be a unit in all rooms with closed doors and a large unit in the reception area that will filter the main administrative area.
-
AIIR Classic, developed and tested in B.C. Canada, HEPA and UV filtration system which removes aerosol and droplets at the patient's mouth during restorations, extractions and procedures. This collection and removal ensure that droplets and aerosols are not released into the clinical space.
-
I WAVE Air Purifier installed onto the furnace of the building, uses Needle Point Bipolar Ionization technology to cleanse the air.
-
All PPE as deemed to be necessary by the Royal College of Dental Surgeon of Ontario and Canadian Dental Hygienists Association, including N95s, gowns and caps above what we used to wear.
-
All operatories, sterilization bay and lunchroom have closed sealed doors with sterilization procedures that are fully IPAC compliant.
-
Thorough COVID screening for all patients and staff is done verbally every day.
