This is an outstanding dental practice, with a friendly and highly competent staff. They also keep very much up to date with dental technology, as they seem to have new equipment each time I am there to make the dental experience more comfortable and more efficient. Definitely 5 stars.
Nicole
The kindest and best dental clinic I’ve experienced in Ottawa. Booking appointments is very easy, and the entire staff is consistently friendly and caring. I always see the same team members, which speaks to their high staff retention and positive work environment. We’re so glad that our family found this clinic, especially one that doesn’t try to over treat or take advantage of insurance benefits. Highly recommended.

Most patients benefit from seeing a dentist every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning. However, the ideal schedule is not the same for everyone. Dentistry is needs based healthcare, so your recall interval should be personalized based on your gum health, cavity risk, medical history, oral hygiene, existing dental work, and long-term goals. Some patients may do very well with six month visits, while others may need more frequent care to prevent problems and achieve the best outcomes. Our team will help create a customized maintenance plan that supports your healthiest, longest
Many dental problems develop quietly before you feel any pain. Regular checkups allow our dentists and hygienists to detect early signs of cavities, gum disease, bite problems, infection, worn teeth, oral cancer concerns, and failing dental work before they become more serious, uncomfortable, or expensive to treat. A checkup is not just about fixing problems it is about prevention, protecting your long term oral health, and helping you maintain a strong, healthy smile with the least amount of treatment possible.
Yes. Dental X-rays are an important diagnostic tool because they help our dentists detect concerns that may not be visible during a regular exam, such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, infections, impacted teeth, and problems under existing fillings or crowns. Modern digital dental X-rays use very low radiation, and we only recommend them when they are needed based on your oral health, history, symptoms, and risk factors. Our goal is to use X-rays safely and thoughtfully so we can diagnose problems early, plan treatment accurately, and protect your long term oral health.
Teeth can become sensitive to hot and cold for several reasons, including gum recession, enamel wear, cavities, cracked teeth, grinding, exposed root surfaces, or older dental work that may need attention. Sensitivity can be mild and temporary, but it can also be an early warning sign of a deeper issue. During your visit, our dentists will carefully assess the source of the sensitivity and recommend a personalized solution, which may include desensitizing products, fluoride treatment, a night guard, replacing worn fillings, or treating any underlying dental concerns to protect your comfort and long term oral health.
