We listen deeply, we communicate transparently, and we treat every single patient like a member of our own family.

Rooted in community
More than a dental office
We believe a great dental practice gives as much as it gives care. Across our BC locations you’ll find our team well beyond the treatment chair, supporting local causes, teaching the next generation of dentists, and showing up for the neighbourhoods we call home. It’s the same big-hearted spirit we’re bringing to North Vancouver.
Giving back where we live
From fundraising for local animal rescues to community open houses (puppies included!), we love bringing people together and supporting the causes close to our neighbours’ hearts.
Advancing dentistry
We host hands-on dental implant study courses and continuing-education sessions, helping dentists sharpen their skills so patients everywhere get more modern, comfortable care.
Mentoring the next generation
Our team heads to UBC to connect with dental students, sharing what we’ve learned and championing the future of dentistry in British Columbia.

“Laurel and Dr Head are both wonderful professionals that really know what they’re doing! I had a dental emergency in the middle of moving and they were able to get me in quickly, treat the issue without judgement and with kindness and set me up on a good path for success. To add to that, the office folks are helping me navigate insurance issues which is always a nightmare – so really appreciated. I’d recommend them to anyone.”

“This is my family’s first and go-to clinic. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. Barb at the front desk is especially friendly and helpful, and Kayla’s passion for her work truly stands out. As someone who has always been scared of the dentist, this clinic has truly set the bar high for me. Dr. Chahal has consistently been caring and attentive. We always feel well taken care of here.”

“Went in after being ghosted by my previous dentist of 20 years to fin out I need multiple root canals me never having on befor didn’t know what to expect the procedure was long but painless and smooth it now being the 2nd day the day after the root canal I feel 1000x better than the day befor. They did a good job from what I’ve experienced so far, definitely glad I choose to swap to them.”

“I had a front tooth that was chipped from a sports injury many years ago. The filling that was there came off. Dr. Caitlin Meredeth re did the filling very wonderfully. I couldn’t see where she had done the work – it was so well done. She and all the staff were very pleasant.”
