About Us
For some, a smile is just a natural occurrence that is part of them. Unfortunately, for others, their fear of the dentist has resulted in deteriorating teeth that no longer allows their otherwise beautiful smile to shine through. At Avenue Dental, our gentle approach by an experienced, caring team makes you feel comfortable and at ease. We explain each step of the procedure so you know exactly what is happening.
A healthy set of teeth not only produces a wonderful smile, but makes a big contribution to your overall health. Our team uses modern technology and techniques that result in healthy teeth and gums. At Avenue Dental, you’ll find comfortable surroundings and an easy-going atmosphere to make your visit a pleasant one. Our pace is unrushed and caters to each individual’s needs.

“When people walk into my office, no matter whether it is their first visit or if they have been coming for many years, I want them to feel comfortable, to know that this is a place where they will be well taken care of. One of the best ways to do that is to make sure that everything looks neat and clean, and to actually greet them and say, ‘Welcome to our office, than you for coming, we’re glad you’re here.’ Basically, we try to treat our clients as if they were guests in our home.”
