What to Expect from Your Family Dentist in Vancouver

Discover what your first visit and ongoing family dental care look like with us in Vancouver. Learn about our services, new patient steps, and the welcoming environment we offer for all ages.

At Granville Dental Wellness Group, we are a family, general, emergency, cosmetic, restorative, and implant dentistry practice located in Vancouver and serving the neighbourhoods of Marpole, South Vancouver, Granville Street, and Oakridge. We offer a welcoming environment designed for families at every stage of life.

Our Services

We provide a wide range of dental services, including general dentistry, family dental care, cosmetic dentistry, restorative dentistry, dental exams, cleanings, emergency dentistry, teeth whitening, and dental implants. All under one roof.

Your First Visit

From your very first visit, our priority is to make your experience comfortable, clear, and truly personalized. You can book your appointment online or by phone, with same-day and next-day appointments often available.

We recommend downloading and filling out your patient forms ahead of time to save you time at the clinic. During your first visit, you'll meet our team, have a comprehensive dental exam with X-rays, and discuss your oral health goals. We always review our findings with you and provide a clear, transparent treatment plan. With no pressure to make decisions on the spot.

Welcoming New Patients and Families

We warmly welcome new patients and families. No referral is needed to visit our Marpole (Vancouver) clinic. Bring your health card, dental insurance card, a list of any medications you're taking, and any recent dental X-rays you may have. Completed patient forms are very helpful, too.

Your first appointment usually takes about 60–90 minutes, and includes your comprehensive exam, X-rays, and a detailed chat with your dentist. We often schedule family members' appointments together or back-to-back whenever possible. Shared family records help us keep your household's care coordinated.

Care for All Ages

Our general dentistry includes routine checkups, professional cleanings, tooth-coloured fillings, gum disease treatment, tooth extractions, and children's dental care. We offer age-appropriate care from a child’s first tooth onward, and recommend booking your child's first visit by their first birthday or as soon as the first tooth comes in.

Techniques are tailored to each family member, whether they're a toddler, teen, or adult. Parents are welcome in the treatment room for children's appointments, and questions from both parents and children are always encouraged. After your family's visit, everyone receives a personal home care plan and recall reminders, so you're always up-to-date with your care.

Comfort, Convenience, and Expertise

We respect your time. Our goal is to start appointments on schedule with minimal waiting. Our clinic is known for a welcoming and comfortable environment for all ages, from young children to seniors. We use modern techniques and gentle care to ensure your comfort throughout every visit.

Insurance, Accessibility, and the Little Details

We accept all major Canadian dental insurance plans and the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), and we offer direct insurance billing so you rarely have to worry about paperwork. Our Marpole clinic is easy to access, wheelchair-friendly, and has convenient parking for your visits.

Full Service Under One Roof

Whether you need an exam, cleaning, crown, implants, or Invisalign, we provide a comprehensive range of dental treatments for the whole family in one location.

Emergency Dental Care

If you're experiencing a dental emergency, we offer same-day appointments focused on prompt and compassionate care. During emergency visits, we perform a full oral exam, take digital X-rays, and target pain relief and stabilization. We always schedule follow-up appointments and are available to answer your questions after emergency care.

Our Team and Promise

Our dentists are highly trained, UBC-educated, and dedicated to evidence-based care for every person we see. We're proud to be consistently rated 4.5 stars by thousands of patients across Greater Vancouver.

We go out of our way to send recall reminders and help you book your next appointment before you leave. Making ongoing dental health simple for your family. Our team has served over 5,000 patients in Vancouver and the surrounding community.
