A Kitsilano dentist for the whole family
Choosing a dentist is personal. You want someone close to home who listens, explains your options clearly and doesn't rush you. That's the kind of practice we've built on West Broadway, a short trip from Point Grey, Fairview, Arbutus Ridge and the rest of Vancouver's west side.
Our team treats children, teens, adults and seniors, so your whole family can book in the same place. You can learn more about who we are and how we work on our about us page, or take a look around our clinic before you visit with our virtual office tour.
Preventive and general dental care
The best dental treatment is the kind you never need. Regular care catches small problems while they're still easy to fix, and it keeps your gums and teeth healthy for the long run.
Our preventive dental care includes thorough cleanings, exams, fluoride and personalised home care advice. Many patients visit every six months, though some need to come more often if they have gum concerns. We'll tell you what's right for you.
When we need a closer look, we use panoramic X-rays to see your teeth, jaws and sinuses in a single image. We also offer an oral cancer screening, a quick and painless check that can spot warning signs early.
Restoring damaged and missing teeth
Cavities, cracks and worn teeth are common, and so is tooth loss. If a tooth has been damaged, our restorative dentistry services rebuild your bite so you can chew comfortably and smile with confidence. For larger cases, we can plan a full-mouth reconstruction in stages.
If you're missing a tooth or several, you have a few good options:
- Dental implants replace the root and crown, and they're the closest thing to a natural tooth.
- Fixed bridges fill a gap by anchoring a replacement tooth to the teeth on either side.
- Dentures replace several or all of your teeth with a removable, custom-made set.
For implant planning, we use a CBCT scan to see your bone and nerves in three dimensions. That detail helps us place implants precisely and avoid surprises.
Root canals, extractions and oral surgery
A toothache can be scary, but modern treatment is far more comfortable than most people expect. Root canal treatment removes infected tissue from inside a tooth so you can keep it instead of losing it. If a root canal needs a second look, endodontic surgery can help save the tooth.
Sometimes a tooth can't be saved. We perform gentle tooth extractions, including wisdom teeth, and we can handle more complex cases through oral surgery. If gum disease is part of the picture, our periodontal treatment targets infection and helps protect the bone that holds your teeth in place.
Cosmetic dentistry for a smile you love
A great smile isn't just about looks. It's about feeling relaxed when you laugh, talk and have your photo taken. We offer several ways to refresh your smile, and we'll help you choose the one that suits your goals and your teeth.

What to expect at your first visit
Your first appointment is mostly about getting to know you. We'll ask about your health history, any medications you take and what's been bothering you. Then we'll do a careful exam of your teeth, gums, bite and jaw joints, and we'll take X-rays if you need them.
Afterward, we'll go over what we found in plain language. If you need treatment, you'll get a clear plan that sets out what we recommend, what can wait and what each step involves. You decide what happens next, and there's never any pressure. Many patients like to book their first cleaning on the same day so they can leave with a fresh start.
Care for children, teens and seniors
Kids do best when their first visits are short, friendly and free of surprises. We take our time, show children what each tool does and keep appointments relaxed. For teens, we can check how their teeth are developing and talk about options like clear aligners when the time is right.
Older adults often have different needs, such as worn teeth, older fillings, gum concerns or missing teeth. We'll look at your whole mouth and suggest practical options, from dentures to implants, that fit your health, comfort and budget.
Healthy gums, healthy body
Your mouth is connected to the rest of your body. Gum disease has been linked in research to heart disease and diabetes, and bleeding, swollen or receding gums are never something to ignore. The good news is that early gum disease is often reversible with good home care and professional cleanings.
If you've noticed bleeding when you brush, bad breath that won't go away or teeth that feel loose, book an exam. If the problem has advanced, our gum treatment options can help bring it under control and protect your teeth for years to come.
Dental emergencies in Kitsilano
Dental emergencies rarely come at a convenient time. A knocked-out tooth, severe pain, swelling or a broken crown needs prompt attention. If you're in pain, call us right away at 604-210-3603 and we'll do our best to see you as soon as possible.
In the meantime, rinse your mouth gently with warm water, use a cold compress on your cheek and avoid chewing on the sore side. If you have facial swelling that makes it hard to breathe or swallow, go to the nearest emergency room.
Insurance, CDCP and payment options
Dental care is an investment, and we want you to know what to expect before you start. We'll explain your treatment plan and your costs up front, and we'll help you make the most of your benefits.
We welcome patients covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan. Our CDCP page explains how the plan works at our clinic. We also work with many private insurance plans, and you can read about coverage and payment options on our insurance and finance page.
No insurance? You still have options. We offer flexible payment plans, and our current promotions include a special for new patients.
