Our Philosophy
A goal of good health is a lifestyle choice that takes commitment and motivation. Nothing we do as dentists, specialists or our teams, will be successful if we cannot motivate our patients to improve their oral health.
Our first priority is the promotion of the health and well-being of our patients.
Our Location
​
We are located in beautiful Nelson, B.C. just steps from the shores of Kootenay Lake.
The dental clinic is nestled in a turn of the century home with ample free parking. It definitely has a country cottage feel!

Environmental Impact
​
Dental offices can have very large environmental footprints. From the chemicals and plastics we use every day, to the waste from sterilization wrapping and instrument packaging, we are major trash producers.
We have worked very hard to set up aggressive recycling and waste reduction strategies to minimize the amount of garbage that ends up in landfills, or in our oceans.
It has taken a lot of research and support from my suppliers to reduce my footprint. We only have this one planet!
