Experience Modern, Gentle Dental Care in Ottawa
Just had two appointments over the last few weeks and could not be happier with the experience. I’d had some lingering tooth pain that had gone undiagnosed/unresolved at previous offices, but Dr. Anita finally realized I had several cavities that needed to be filled. I was naturally nervous to go back for my first ever fillings, but between Stevie, Elizabeth, and Dr. Anita (and some help from the gas they offer to anxious patients) it went more quickly and smoothly than expected! They were even able to do all three without any freezing.

No Insurance? No Problem. Join the SAHHA Membership
The SAHHA Membership Program was created to give our patients an easier, more affordable way to stay on top of their oral health. Whether you’re self-employed, retired, or simply uninsured, this program makes it easy to get the care you need.
How It Works: Our program has two simple parts:
- A fixed fee for each hygiene visit (cleaning and check-up)
- A low monthly membership fee that keeps your preventive care within reach
Your exact plan will depend on your gum health needs, but most patients fall into one of three categories: mild, moderate, or advanced.
