Our Team Our Experience

Multi-lingual Staff

One of the things that sets us apart from most other Ottawa dental offices is the cultural diversity among our dentists and staff members. Currently, we include at least five languages among our staff members: English, French, Portuguese, Polish, and Arabic. Nothing adds more comfort to a patient than being able to communicate in your native language.

 

Our Past Experience
