At Today's Dental Centre, we take every measure to make your visit as enjoyable as possible. We treat our patients like family, which could help to explain why we have so many loyal, life-time patients.

But we're more than just a feel-good clinic: Today's Dental Centre boasts a top-drawer, award-winning team of dentists, dental assistants and hygienists along with cutting-edge dental technology including Lumineers, cosmetic whitening services and the safe, ethical disposal of mercury amalgam fillings.

And because we've been at it for more than 25 years, we've gotten to know our dental community in a time-tested, insightful way. Among other benefits to our patients, this means we consistently and confidently provide suitable, trust-worthy referrals when needed.

We love to hear from new and old patients, so please email or call us at 250-382-5233 with your questions and comments.

Services

Today's Dental Centre provides complete general dentistry, cosmetics, whitening, preventative hygiene, oral sedation, iv sedation and nitrous oxide services in a comfortable, no-stress environment.

Insurance Coverage

Today's Dental Centre accepts most dental plans and we aim to utilize each patient's insurance plan to maximize benefits. We must emphasize that as dental care providers, our relationship is with our patients, not their insurance company.

While the initial filing of insurance claims is a courtesy that we extend to our patients, follow-up charges are the patient's responsibility from the date the services are rendered. Patients are responsible for all fees not covered by their dental plan.

If you have any questions, or are uncertain about insurance information, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
