Child Friendly
Every appointment moves at your child's pace — from a first 'ride in the chair' to a full cleaning, always ending with a trip to the treasure box.
Why choose us
What we offer — and why families keep coming back.
Modern technology, a gentle approach, and small-office relationships that grow with your family over decades.
Televisions in Every Room
Wall- and ceiling-mounted TVs in every operatory. Kids catch cartoons; adults catch the game or their favourite show.
Same-Day Emergencies
Chipped tooth, broken molar, sudden pain or swelling — we offer same-day emergency appointments, morning through evening.
Digital X-Rays & Panorex
Up to 80% less radiation than film, with clearer, HD-quality images that appear instantly. Panorex gives us a full view of teeth, jaw and sinuses in a single capture.
Intra-Oral Cameras
Small enough to reach anywhere in the mouth — you see exactly what we see, so we can treatment-plan together.
Sedation & Anxiety Management
Oral sedation is available for anxious patients, always after a thorough medical review. Comfortable, calm dental care by design.
HEPA Air Purification
Surgically Clean Air dual-HEPA units in every treatment room continuously filter 99.9% of pathogens, particulates and pollutants.
For growing families
Your child's first visit.
The Ontario Dental Association recommends a first visit shortly after the first tooth erupts — mostly for nutritional counselling and tips on cleaning newly erupted teeth. Around age two we begin familiarizing your child with the office: a ride in the chair, counting teeth, and perhaps a gentle first cleaning — as much or as little as they'll allow. Every child is different, and we work at their pace.
Pregnant or nursing?

Child friendly
We want to make your child's dental visit a happy one.
It's very important that we progress at your child's own pace. A first visit can be as simple as a ride in the chair for show and tell, or as much as an exam and a fun cleaning. Our tools become dental friends — turning into Mr. Slurpy, Miss Tickler and Mr. Tooth Counter. The kids always leave happy, and with prizes in hand.
Our treasure box is a big hit, and they enjoy nothing more than collecting their tokens at the end of an appointment. Being a small and personal office, we like to build relationships with our patients, and the kids are such an important part of our dental family. After working closely with children for many years, we're comfortable and confident making every appointment a great one.
Televisions in every operatory
All operatories have two TVs — wall and ceiling mounted — so preferred shows can be watched in any dental chair position. Children love watching cartoons, and it's a great way to make their appointment a fun one. Televisions offer distraction and enjoyment, and are a great way to catch up on your favourite show or sport while you visit with us.
Emergency treatment
We make every attempt to see emergency patients the same day. Our ultimate goal is to ensure you are free from any pain or discomfort. We offer morning, afternoon and evening appointments, so we're able to find a time that works for you. Unexpected issues arise — a chipped front tooth, a broken molar, pain or swelling — and our goal is to see you as soon as possible.
Modern technology
Clearer images, lower doses, faster answers.
Digital x-rays
We're proud to exclusively use digital x-rays to aid our thorough assessments. Digital technology significantly lowers the already small amount of radiation needed for a dental x-ray — by as much as 80%. We also take every precaution to keep exposure to an absolute minimum through lead aprons with thyroid collars, extensively trained staff, and basing recommendations on you individually.
Digital x-rays are also like watching TV in HD: clearer and more defined than traditional film. With detailed views we can detect decay or diagnose problems at a very early stage, preventing more extensive or expensive treatment later.
We offer two sensor sizes to aid comfort during your radiographs, which significantly helps prevent gagging. With the image appearing on our computer and your TV instantly, we diagnose quickly and avoid waiting for film to develop.
Panorex
Our panorex machine allows a full, panoramic view of your teeth and jaw. It helps us determine issues or abnormalities with the sinuses, the roots of the teeth, the right and left jaw joints (TMJ), and the bone surrounding the teeth and jaws. It also shows the position of teeth that are developing and unerupted.
It's an essential tool for a detailed assessment — a single panorex can reduce the need for multiple individual x-rays throughout the mouth.
How does it work?
We use a small sensor connected to our monitors. The sensor is rounded and smaller than traditional film, which keeps you comfortable. Once the x-ray is exposed, the image appears on the screen immediately — no processing or developing required.
Intra-oral camera
"A picture says a thousand words."
One of the best ways for us to explain our assessment findings is to show you a real-time image. Our cameras, available in all rooms, are small enough to comfortably reach every area of your mouth. After taking photographs, we can treatment-plan together — you see the areas that need treatment and the areas we can simply watch and monitor. We pride ourselves on involving you in your plan and truly individualizing it around our findings.
We love showing you before and after photographs, too.
Oral sedation and anxiety management
We understand that for some, dental visits can be uneasy. For patients who prefer to have their dental work completed using a form of sedation, we offer an oral sedative to help relax nerves and remove anxiety around treatment. A thorough medical history is completed to ensure safe delivery of the sedative, and we have various forms of pain management to keep patients comfortable. Ask us at your appointment or consultation what we can do for you.
Air purification
We're proud to have introduced dual HEPA filtering units through Surgically Clean Air in all of our rooms, continuously purifying the air inside our treatment rooms. Purification is completed by a multistage technology that removes pathogens, particulates and pollutants by more than 99.9%, leaving clean and fresh air. Ensuring a safe environment for your care and for our staff is extremely important to us.
Why we take dental x-rays
Early detection, less treatment later.
- • Detect cavities between teeth that can't be seen visually
- • Catch decay early to avoid more extensive, expensive treatment
- • Assess bone height and periodontal health around each tooth
- • Establish a baseline of teeth, bone and existing fillings
- • Reveal infections or abnormalities hidden within bone
- • Track the position of developing and unerupted teeth
Fun fact: a five-hour flight exposes you to more radiation than a single dental x-ray.
