We provide comprehensive treatment planning and use restorative and cosmetic dentistry to achieve your optimal dental health. Should a dental emergency occur, we make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible.

Education and Prevention

As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. We strive to provide “dental health care” vs. “disease care”. That’s why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary. We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease.Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we’re also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.

Uncompromising Safety

Infection control in our office is also very important to us. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the Canadian Dental Association (CDA).

Working with your Insurance Provider

Dental Care is an investment in your health and well being. To help alleviate any financial stress, your dentist in Kerrisdale is happy to provide estimates in advance of any treatment. There may be variables or surprises in the dental process which we will do our best to determine before starting treatment. As a result costs and time of treatment may very from the initial estimate. We will then offer you a revised plan and financial estimate.

Your dentist in Kerrisdale will work with you and your insurance company to ensure that you get the greatest possible benefit from your plan. It is important that you notify us of any changes in your plan or your address. Your insurance plan is a contract between you, your employer and the insurance company. Insurance companies will not provide us information directly.

At time of treatment, you will be responsible for any portion not covered by your insurance plan.

We accept cash, debit, visa or MasterCard payment which is expected at time of treatment. For larger procedures we can establish payment plans which may be arranged with our office manager, Anita. We accept most in province dental plans and will assist you in understanding your benefits. However, any and all amounts not covered by your insurance plans are ultimately your responsibility.
