About our practice

A true family dental home in Stittsville

Stittsville has grown from a quiet village along the old Carp rail line into one of Ottawa’s fastest-growing communities, now home to more than 60,000 residents and still climbing. That growth has brought young families, tech professionals commuting to the Kanata North business park, and a rising number of retirees who want to stay close to home for their care. Our practice exists to serve that community: a true family dental home where one team can look after a five-year-old’s first checkup, a teenager’s orthodontic questions, a parent’s crown, and a grandparent’s denture adjustment.

Dentistry is the only thing we do, and we do it across the full scope of general practice. Years of hands-on work across the Ottawa area have taught us that good dentistry is as much about communication as it is about clinical skill. People put off the dentist when they feel rushed, judged, or kept in the dark about cost. So we built the practice around the opposite: unhurried appointments, honest conversations, and a clear written plan you approve before we pick up an instrument.

Every dentist on our team is registered with and regulated by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO), and our hygienists are registered with the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario (CDHO). Those memberships are the baseline standard for practising in this province — they tell you who oversees our conduct, your rights as a patient, and how concerns are handled. Beyond that baseline, what we offer is depth of care and a process you can trust on every visit.

Why choose us

Why Stittsville families choose us

Trust built on what we do on every job — not on slogans or credentials we’d have to prove.

Family dentistry is our focus

We are generalists in the best sense — trained to care for the whole family and to coordinate the occasional specialist referral when a case calls for it. You build a relationship with a team that knows your history, not a rotating cast of strangers.

Costs are in writing, every time

Before any treatment beyond a basic exam, you receive an itemized estimate. The RCDSO expects dentists to give clear, written estimates for major or multi-step treatment, and to tell you when a fee sits above the Ontario Dental Association (ODA) Suggested Fee Guide. We build our conversation around that standard so you can plan and compare with confidence.

We work with your coverage

We submit claims electronically to private insurers and help patients understand co-payments and balance billing under the Canadian Dental Care Plan. As of 2026, eligible adults aged 18 to 64 without private insurance can apply, joining the seniors and children already covered — and we help you make sense of what that means for your visit.

Emergencies are seen quickly

A cracked tooth, a lost filling, or sudden swelling does not wait for a convenient time. We hold space in the schedule for urgent care and offer guidance by phone so you know what to do until you can be seen.

Prevention is the heart of the plan

The least expensive dental problem is the one we catch early. Regular exams, professional cleanings, and honest advice on home care keep small issues small — a simple filling today instead of a root canal and crown next year.

Comfort & communication first

Modern techniques, gentle technique, and a team that explains each step in plain language. We treat anxious patients without judgment, because feeling at ease is part of good care, not a luxury.

What we do

Dental services we offer in Stittsville

The full scope of care our team provides, with indicative price ranges drawn from published 2025 Ontario-market pricing (including the ODA Suggested Fee Guide). These ranges describe the market, not a quote for your mouth — your actual price is the written estimate you receive after an examination.

Clean, modern dental operatory ready for checkups and cleanings

Checkups, Cleanings & Preventive Care

The foundation of lifelong oral health: complete and recall examinations, professional scaling and polishing, fluoride application, dental X-rays, oral cancer screening, and personalized home-care coaching. We recommend a recall interval based on your gum health and risk, not a one-size-fits-all calendar. A periodic exam and cleaning is the visit most families build their year around — and the one most likely to be fully covered by insurance or the CDCP.

Indicative range: a routine recall exam, cleaning, and X-rays typically falls in the range of roughly $200–$400 per visit, depending on the amount of tartar present (scaling is billed in time units) and which X-rays are needed.

Dentist placing a tooth-coloured filling for a patient

Fillings & Tooth-Coloured Restorations

When decay or a small crack is found, a filling restores the tooth before the problem deepens. We place tooth-coloured composite restorations that blend with your natural enamel. The cost depends on the tooth’s location and how many surfaces are involved — a single-surface filling on a front tooth is straightforward; a multi-surface molar filling takes more time and material.

Indicative range: published Ontario pricing for fillings runs roughly $150–$480 depending on surfaces and tooth position.

Dental professional preparing a crown restoration

Crowns, Bridges & Restorative Dentistry

When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a crown caps and protects it; a bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring to its neighbours. These restorations rebuild both function and appearance and are designed to last for years with good care. Laboratory fees for the custom crown or bridge are billed at cost on top of the dentist’s fee.

Indicative range: a single porcelain or ceramic crown commonly starts around $1,100 + lab at cost; bridges are priced per unit.

Dental team performing root canal treatment

Root Canal Therapy (Endodontics)

When infection or deep decay reaches the nerve, root canal therapy removes the infected tissue, relieves pain, and saves the natural tooth. The fee depends on which tooth is involved — anterior teeth have a single canal, while molars have several and take longer.

Indicative range: root canal therapy generally ranges from roughly $600 for an anterior tooth to $1,400+ for a molar, before any crown that may follow.

Dental surgeon performing a tooth extraction

Tooth Extractions & Minor Oral Surgery

Sometimes a tooth cannot be saved, or a wisdom tooth is impacted and causing trouble. We perform straightforward and surgical extractions, explain your replacement options in advance, and provide written aftercare instructions to support healing.

Indicative range: simple extractions commonly fall around $200–$320; surgical and impacted-tooth removals are higher and quoted individually.

Dental model showing tooth structure for implants and tooth replacement

Dental Implants & Tooth Replacement

Implants replace the root of a missing tooth with a titanium post that supports a crown, bridge, or denture. They are the closest thing to a natural tooth and, with consistent home care and checkups, can last for many years. Because implant treatment is staged and case-specific, we plan it carefully and give you the full cost in writing before starting.

Indicative range: a single implant with its restoration is a multi-stage investment, frequently in the range of roughly $3,000–$6,000+ depending on grafting needs and the final restoration.

Patient with a restored, confident smile after denture treatment

Dentures & Partial Dentures

Full and partial dentures restore a confident smile and the ability to eat comfortably when several or all teeth are missing. We handle fittings, relines, and adjustments, and coordinate denturist work where appropriate. Partial dentures became available to many CDCP patients through preauthorization, and we help eligible patients navigate that process.

Indicative range: dentures vary widely with materials and whether they are full or partial; we quote each case after an assessment.

Bright, healthy smile after cosmetic dentistry

Cosmetic Dentistry: Whitening, Veneers & Smile Improvements

Professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and bonding can brighten and reshape your smile. Note that purely cosmetic services such as whitening and elective veneers are subject to HST, while medically necessary restorative work is generally exempt — a detail we make clear in your estimate so there are no surprises.

Indicative range: in-office and take-home whitening and cosmetic bonding vary by case; veneers are priced per tooth and quoted after consultation.

Gloved hand holding a clear orthodontic aligner in its case

Clear Aligners & Orthodontic Guidance

For mild to moderate crowding or spacing, clear aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces. The Canadian Dental Association recommends an orthodontic evaluation by age seven, because early assessment can guide jaw growth and simplify later treatment. We assess, advise, and coordinate care to suit each patient’s needs.

Indicative range: clear-aligner treatment is case-dependent and quoted after a full assessment of your goals and bite.

What moves your price. Several factors shift the final number: how many tooth surfaces or canals are involved, the amount of tartar present (cleanings are billed in time units), the materials chosen, whether grafting or preparation is needed, and your individual oral health. This is exactly why we provide a written, itemized estimate after examining you. Your price is the written quote you approve — not a number from a table.
What the ranges exclude. Indicative ranges above exclude laboratory fees (billed at cost), specialist referrals, additional diagnostics such as CBCT scans, HST on cosmetic services, and any treatment that becomes necessary once work is underway. Insurance reimbursement may be based on an earlier ODA Fee Guide year than the current one, which can leave a gap you are responsible for. Indicative pricing is not an offer to contract.
We can help

Common dental problems we solve

Most issues are easier, cheaper, and more comfortable to treat the earlier they’re caught.

Toothache & sensitivity

Pain when biting, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, or a dull ache can signal decay, a cracked tooth, or infection. We diagnose the cause and treat it — relieving pain first, then restoring the tooth.

Cavities & worn fillings

Decay is the most common reason for a restorative visit. Caught early, it is a simple filling; left alone, it can reach the nerve and require root canal therapy. Regular recall exams are how we keep cavities small.

Gum disease

Bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and gum recession are early warnings. Professional cleaning and a tailored home-care plan can reverse early gum disease before it threatens the bone that holds your teeth.

Missing or failing teeth

Whether from decay, injury, or age, missing teeth affect chewing, speech, and confidence. We walk you through implants, bridges, and dentures so you can choose the replacement that fits your mouth and budget.

Dental anxiety

For many people, fear is the real barrier to care. A growing and time-pressed community like Stittsville has plenty of patients who have put off the dentist for years. We go at your pace, explain everything, and never judge.

Access & cost worries

With dental care unregulated on price in Ontario and many residents uninsured, cost is a genuine concern. We address it head-on with written estimates, electronic insurance submission, and help navigating the CDCP for those who qualify.

An honest checklist

Choosing a dentist in Stittsville

The standard we hold ourselves to — and the questions worth asking any dentist before you commit.

The standard we work to

  • A written, itemized estimate before any treatment beyond a basic exam.
  • Clear disclosure when a fee sits above the current ODA Suggested Fee Guide.
  • Electronic insurance submission and help understanding CDCP co-payments.
  • Informed consent — your questions answered before you agree to treatment.
  • Registration with the RCDSO (dentists) and CDHO (hygienists) as the baseline of accountability.

Questions to ask before you commit

  • “Can I have the full treatment plan and costs in writing before we start?”
  • “Which ODA Fee Guide year does this estimate use, and does my insurer use the same year?”
  • “Are laboratory fees, X-rays, and HST included in this number, or billed separately?”
  • “Is there a more conservative option, and what happens if I wait?”
  • “Do you submit claims electronically, and do you treat patients under the CDCP?”
  • “What is your policy if an adjustment or repair is needed after the work is done?”

Local knowledge

A local guide to dental care in Stittsville & Ontario

The regulations, programs, and local context that affect your care and your costs.

Who regulates dentistry in Ontario

Every dentist in Ontario is regulated by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO), the body responsible for licensing, standards of practice, and handling patient complaints. Dental hygienists are regulated separately by the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario (CDHO), and denturists by the College of Denturists of Ontario. If you ever have a concern about your care, these are the bodies that oversee it — worth knowing as a patient.

How dental fees work here

Dental pricing in Ontario is not set by government. Each year the Ontario Dental Association (ODA) publishes a Suggested Fee Guide, but it is a recommendation, not a regulation — dentists are independent professionals who set their own fees. Many practices align closely with the guide; some sit above it. The RCDSO’s advertising rules prohibit misleading claims and superlatives such as “best” or “lowest price,” which is why responsible practices talk in terms of written estimates rather than slogans. Always ask which Fee Guide year an estimate uses, because your insurer may reimburse based on an earlier year.

The CDCP & what changed in 2026

The federal CDCP has rolled out in stages: children and seniors first, then adults with a valid Disability Tax Credit certificate, then all eligible adults aged 18 to 64 beginning in 2025, with applications open to remaining eligible residents in 2026. To qualify you must be a Canadian resident with no access to private dental insurance and an adjusted family net income under $90,000, and you must have filed your tax return. Coverage requires annual renewal. Importantly, the CDCP may not cover the full cost of treatment — households with income between $70,000 and $89,999 have co-payments, and a clinic’s fee can exceed the CDCP rate (balance billing), leaving a difference you pay. We help eligible patients understand exactly what their visit will cost.

HST on dental treatment

Most medically necessary dental work — cleanings, fillings, crowns after decay, root canals — is exempt from HST. Purely cosmetic services such as teeth whitening, elective veneers, and aesthetic contouring are taxable. We flag which items in your plan carry HST so the total on your estimate is the total you pay.

A growing, diverse community

Stittsville is among Ottawa’s fastest-growing wards, with strong household incomes, a large share of families, and rising diversity — in the 2021 Census, 21% of Stittsville residents identified as a visible minority, up from 12% five years earlier, and parts of Stittsville East are now majority racialized. Many residents commute to the Kanata North tech park; others are newcomers settling into Bradley Commons, Mapleton, and the Fernbank-area builds. We provide care in English and French and aim to make every patient, from every background, feel welcome and understood.

Getting to us & planning your visit

Stittsville sits just west of the Greenbelt, with Highway 417, Hazeldean Road, and Stittsville Main Street as the main arteries, and OC Transpo connecting the community to Kanata and central Ottawa. Most local clinics offer convenient parking. When you book, bring your insurance details (and your CDCP information if applicable), a list of any medications, and your questions — arriving a few minutes early to complete any paperwork keeps your first visit on time.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on cost, coverage, and what to expect.

How much does a dental checkup and cleaning cost in Stittsville?+
A routine recall exam, cleaning, and X-rays typically falls in the range of roughly $200–$400 per visit, based on published 2025 Ontario-market pricing. The exact figure depends on how much scaling is needed (cleanings are billed in time units) and which X-rays are taken. You will always receive the cost up front, and this visit is often fully covered by insurance or the CDCP.
Do you accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?+
We help patients understand and use their CDCP coverage. As of 2026, eligible adults aged 18 to 64 without private insurance can apply, alongside the seniors and children already covered. Keep in mind the CDCP may not cover 100% of the cost — there can be co-payments based on income, and a clinic fee can exceed the CDCP rate. We will tell you your expected share before treatment.
Who regulates dentists in Ontario?+
Dentists are regulated by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO), which oversees licensing, standards, and complaints. Dental hygienists are regulated by the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario (CDHO). These bodies set the baseline standard for practising in the province and protect your rights as a patient.
Are your prices the same as the ODA Fee Guide?+
The Ontario Dental Association publishes a Suggested Fee Guide each year, but it is a recommendation, not a regulation — Ontario dental fees are not set by government. We discuss fees openly and give you a written estimate, and we tell you if any fee sits above the current guide. Always ask which Fee Guide year your insurer uses, since it may differ from the current one.
Is dental treatment taxed?+
Most medically necessary treatment — cleanings, fillings, crowns after decay, root canals — is exempt from HST. Purely cosmetic services such as whitening and elective veneers are taxable. Your written estimate makes clear which items carry HST.
Do you see patients for dental emergencies?+
Yes. We prioritize urgent cases such as severe toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a lost crown, or swelling, and we hold space in the schedule for same-day attention. If you are in pain, call us — we will guide you on what to do and get you seen quickly.
I have dental anxiety. Can you help?+
Absolutely, and you are far from alone. We go at your pace, explain every step before it happens, use gentle techniques, and never judge. Many of our patients came to us after years of avoiding the dentist.
At what age should my child first see a dentist or orthodontist?+
Children should have their first dental visit early — around their first birthday or when their first teeth appear — to build comfort and catch issues early. The Canadian Dental Association recommends an orthodontic evaluation by age seven, because early assessment can guide jaw growth and simplify any later treatment.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?+
It depends on your gum health and risk factors rather than a fixed calendar. Many people do well with a cleaning and exam every six months, while others benefit from a shorter interval. We recommend a personalized recall schedule after your exam.
Do you submit insurance claims for me?+
Yes. We submit claims electronically to your insurer so you are not chasing paperwork. We will also help you understand co-payments, coverage limits, and any difference between what your plan reimburses and the fee for service.
What happens at a new-patient first visit?+
We review your dental and medical history, perform a comprehensive exam with any needed X-rays and an oral cancer screening, and then explain what we found in plain language. You leave with a written, itemized treatment plan and estimate — no treatment is done without your informed consent.
Can you replace a missing tooth?+
Yes. Depending on your situation we offer dental implants, bridges, and full or partial dentures. We explain the pros, longevity, and cost of each option in writing so you can choose what suits your mouth and budget.
Do you provide care in French?+
Yes. Our team serves patients in both English and French, reflecting the bilingual makeup of the Stittsville and wider Ottawa community.
How do I book an appointment?+
Call our Stittsville office or submit the contact form on this page. We respond promptly, answer your questions, and find a time that works — including urgent appointments for emergencies. New patients are always welcome.
