We’ve provided a wide range of dental services to the Burlington community for over 30 years. Learn more about our various dental services and how they can help you reach your smile goals.
Children’s dentistry is crucial in establishing a foundation for lifelong oral health. By fostering a positive experience during dental visits, our dental team aims to alleviate fears and encourage good hygiene habits from an early age.
Our family dentist helps maintain the oral health of all age groups, addressing children’s and adults’ unique dental needs. This can be done with regular dental cleaning appointments which are essential for promoting optimal oral health and overall well-being.
We offer various dental solutions to help patients achieve their smile goals, including teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, white dental fillings, dental crowns and bridges, and more. We’ll discuss the best solution for you during your consultation.
Sedation dentistry offers patients a way to alleviate their anxieties and discomfort during dental procedures. We do this by using nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. This safe and effective sedation allows patients to feel calm and comfortable (and sometimes giddy) while receiving various dental treatments.
Invisalign clear aligners are a popular way for teens and adults alike to straighten their teeth inconspicuously, as the clear aligners are virtually invisible. They are completely removable but should be worn for up to 22 hours a day. If Invisalign isn’t for you, we can determine if you’re a good candidate for braces.
If you’re involved in sports, sports mouthguards are essential, as they significantly reduce the risk of dental injuries. Our Burlington dental care team can recommend the appropriate type of mouthguard tailored to your individual needs.
To maintain the safety of our patients and our team, HEPA filters have been installed in all treatment rooms in our dental office to enhance air quality and reduce the risk of airborne contaminants.
These high-efficiency particulate air filters are designed to capture 99.97% of particles, including bacteria and viruses, ensuring a cleaner environment for both patients and staff.
In addition to the HEPA filters, we have implemented stringent sterilization protocols and enhanced our infection control measures. All equipment is thoroughly disinfected between patients, and personal protective equipment (PPE) is provided to our team to ensure their safety and that of our patients.
We always happily welcome new patients to our dental family and look forward to meeting you! We provide various personalized dental care services that suit your smile, unique needs and goals and ensure that every visit is a positive one! Our Burlington dental office has plenty of free parking and convenient hours. So, if you’re ready to schedule your appointment, whether you’re a new or recurring patient, give us a call.

Patients often have a range of questions about our dental care services, procedures, and office management. We’ve compiled some below to help bring you peace of mind, but we will gladly go into more detail in person or when you give us a call.
The typical rule of thumb is to book appointments at least every 6 months (unless otherwise discussed). After your appointment, we’ll book your next appointment 6 months in advance and automatically send you reminders.
If you’re experiencing pain or discomfort, or a tooth or tooth replacement has fallen out, please give us a call right away. We offer same-day appointments when necessary. If you’re injured or losing a lot of blood, please go to the emergency room.
You should floss once per day, either in the morning or the evening, after brushing your teeth. Flossing removes plaque and food particles between teeth, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease. We can recommend the best floss for you, or, if you find traditional floss isn’t working for you, consider alternatives like floss picks or water flossers.
There are many reasons why our teeth change colour over time – medications, age, smoking, tea coffee, acidic foods, etc. Luckily, with the help of cosmetic dentistry, we can try to improve the colour of your teeth. We offer in-office Zoom teeth whitening, with which some patients report noticing a difference in their smiles after just one treatment. Porcelain veneers also offer patients a way to permanently improve the colour of their teeth as they are bonded to the front of their teeth. During your consultation, we’ll determine the best treatment option for you.
Tooth sensitivity can be caused by various things, such as:
Some at-home solutions may include using toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth and avoiding acidic or sugary foods and drinks. We can also try to improve your sensitivity with fluoride treatments. If it persists, there may be an underlying cause.
Preventing cavities involves maintaining a consistent oral hygiene routine and making mindful dietary choices. Brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste is essential for removing plaque and strengthening enamel. Daily flossing is equally important, as it cleans the spaces between teeth where your toothbrush can’t reach. Limiting sugary and acidic foods and drinks helps reduce the fuel for bacteria that cause tooth decay. Drinking water, especially fluoridated water, can also help wash away food particles and neutralize acids in your mouth. Lastly, it’s crucial to book regular dental check-ups at least every 6 months so we can clean your teeth and detect and address early signs of decay or gum disease.
A child’s first dental appointment should typically be scheduled by their first birthday or within 6 months of their first tooth erupting, whichever comes first. Early visits are crucial for establishing a foundation of good oral health and helping children become comfortable with our dental team. During their first appointment, we’ll check for early signs of tooth decay, ensure the teeth and gums are developing properly, and offer guidance on caring for your child’s oral health at home. Beginning a healthy dental care regime as early as possible not only prevents potential problems but also sets the stage for a lifetime of healthy dental habits.

We are accepting the Government of Canada Canadian Dental Insurance Plan (CDCP). The CDCP is a new Canadian Dental Care Plan where individuals that do not have access to an employer provided or private dental insurance plan can apply for. As an important part of dental care and overall health, the Government of Canada recognizes the expenses that can be associated with dental treatment and is committed to helping Canadians receive the dental treatments that are required while also making it more affordable.
The CDCP is offered to help low income families who do not have dental insurance by covering some costs associated with dental services for families with net income that is under $90,000.
