Visiting a family dentist should be simple and comfortable. Here’s what to expect at our welcoming Vancouver clinic, from your first appointment to aftercare.
Choosing a family dentist in Vancouver is about more than finding a clinic – it's about feeling comfortable, informed, and taken care of at every stage. We proudly serve families, individuals, and seniors from our Marpole location, near Granville Street, South Vancouver, and Oakridge. We welcome new and returning patients of all ages and backgrounds, helping you and your family feel at ease at every visit.
What Services Do We Offer?
We provide a wide range of dental care tailored for families: general and family dental care, cosmetic and restorative dentistry, dental exams, cleanings, emergency dentistry, teeth whitening, dental implants, and much more. Whether you need a routine cleaning or a smile makeover, we've got you covered.
Booking and Getting Started
Getting started is simple. You can book your appointment online or by calling us at 604-261-8164 – no referral required. We are always welcoming new patients, and in many cases, can offer same-day or next-day appointments for added convenience.
Preparing for Your First Visit
For your first appointment, please bring your health card, dental insurance card, a list of your medications, and any recent dental X-rays you may have. Downloading and completing our patient forms before you arrive helps speed up your visit and ensures a smooth start.
What Happens at the First Appointment?
Your first appointment is designed to be thorough yet comfortable. We perform a comprehensive exam and digital X-rays, and take the time to discuss your oral health goals in detail. Most new patient appointments take about 60 to 90 minutes and always conclude with a personalized, transparent treatment plan – with plenty of time to answer questions.
Family Appointments and Welcoming Children
We love seeing families together and can often schedule back-to-back appointments to help make your visit even easier. Children are welcome from their very first tooth, and we strive to create positive experiences for healthy lifelong habits. We recommend a child's first visit by age one or when their first tooth appears. Our children's dental services include gentle, age-appropriate exams, fluoride treatments, sealants, and tailored home-care coaching.
Our Patient-First Approach
Everything we do is centred on your comfort, clarity, and confidence. We take time to listen and involve you in each decision. Many members of our team are UBC-trained dentists with deep clinical experience, providing attentive care supported by modern technology. We also know dental anxiety is common – let us know your concerns and we will work at your pace.
Insurance, Direct Billing, and Financing
We accept all major Canadian dental insurance plans, including the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), and we bill insurers directly on your behalf. This simplifies your visit, so you can focus on your care without paperwork stress. Financing options, including 0% interest plans, are also available to help make dental care more accessible.
Routine, Preventive, and Emergency Care
We recommend checkups and cleanings every six months for most adults and kids, but people with gum disease or frequent cavities may benefit from coming in more often. General exams, digital X-rays, and professional cleanings are all part of routine care. If you have an urgent concern, we offer same-day emergency appointments for compassionate care when you need it.
Supporting You Between Visits
We stay connected with written treatment plans, recall reminders, and are just a phone call away for follow-up care or questions.
Location, Accessibility, and Hours
You can find us at 8357 Granville St, Vancouver, BC, V6P 4Z8. Our clinic is wheelchair accessible, offers easy parking, and is centrally located for South Vancouver, Marpole, and Oakridge families.
