Welcoming New Patients and Families

We are actively welcoming new patients and families, and no referral is needed. You can book an appointment online or by calling us at 604-261-8164. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available for your convenience. We love treating families, and can often schedule family appointments back-to-back, just let us know when you book.

Your First Visit: What to Expect

During your first visit, you will meet our team and have a comprehensive exam and digital X-rays. We will discuss your oral health goals together and review all findings in clear, simple language. After your exam, we create a personalized treatment plan designed for your needs, with no pressure and full transparency. Most new patient appointments take 60 to 90 minutes.

What to Bring to Your Appointment

To prepare for your visit, please bring your health card, dental insurance card, list of any current medications, and any recent X-rays from another dentist if available. Completed patient forms can be downloaded ahead of time to save you time at the clinic.

Children's and Family Dentistry

We recommend bringing your child for their first dental visit by age one or when their first tooth appears. Our team creates a positive, age-appropriate atmosphere for kids, with gentle exams and helpful coaching for parents about brushing and home care routines. Siblings can often be seen together or in back-to-back appointments for your convenience.

Insurance, Billing, and Special Offers

We accept all major Canadian dental insurance plans and the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), and our team handles direct billing to save you paperwork. You do not need to worry about coverage surprises; we confirm your insurance before your visit. For new adult patients, we offer a free $50 Amazon gift card with a checkup, X-ray, and cleaning.

Care for Dental Anxiety and Comfort

If you experience dental anxiety, let us know when booking. Our team is trained in gentle care and will help you feel safe and at ease by going at your pace.

Professionalism and Patient-First Approach

You will be cared for by certified dentists with deep clinical expertise, and our focus is always on what is best for you. We respect your time by providing on-time appointments and minimal waiting.
