We are committed to providing our patients with a great dental experience through our modern office design, operational excellence, professional technology, and awareness towards being environmentally conscious.
We wish to thank the families that have already entrusted us with their oral health care - and welcome those who are new!
Our Office
Award-winning design team from Markham Ontario helped us design our office environment. The goal was to achieve a clinic that was relaxing and bright, and still maintain a modern, clean and professional sense.

Operational Excellence
All of our treatment rooms are equipped with televisions for patient entertainment. All charting is done electronically and all photos and radiographs can be viewed on the chairside computer monitor for reference or educational purposes.
​
All reusable instruments are sterilized before they are used on each patient and packaged in autoclavable cassettes to ensure there is no cross-contamination. We follow the infection control guidelines from the RCDSO (2018).
Professional Technology
Digital radiography
• Decreases amount of radiation exposure by about 90% compared to conventional radiography. This means lower risk of side effects from xray exposure. We use direct digital xray sensors that allow almost immediate evaluation of the tooth or bone. There is no need for hazardous developer chemicals and fumes in the clinic.
• Allows detection of cavities, periodontal disease, tracking treatment (root canals, posts, surgery) and some pathologies
Panoramic radiography
• Allows for a scan of the entire mouth and surrounding tissues.
• Allows for detection of pathology, wisdom teeth, developing teeth, and cavities
Intraoral camera
• Takes a digital color photo of the tooth or surrounding tissue
• Allows the dentist/hygienist to see and record all your teeth
• Allows for detection of difficult to visualize areas – such as the wisdom teeth, small cavities that are difficult to see with the mouth mirror and light only.
• Allows for the patient to see and understand what is present in their mouth
Environmentally Conscious
• We want to limit our carbon footprint by being environmentally conscious.
• Reduction in paper use through digital charting
• Amalgam separator to ensure no mercury pollutes our municipal water
• Water efficient vacuum pump
• Fluorescent lighting throughout clinic
• Reduction in use of disposable plastic sundries by using sterilizable sundries whenever possible
• Digital records and electronic claims decrease paper use
