Family Dentistry

Comprehensive Dental Care for Every Stage of Life

At Blackburn Shoppes Dental Centre, we provide family-focused dental care in Ottawa designed to support children, teens, adults, and seniors in a welcoming and comfortable environment.

What is Family Dentistry?

Family dentistry means caring for patients at every stage of life under one roof.

From early dental visits to ongoing adult care and senior support, our approach focuses on prevention, education, and long-term relationships. We take the time to understand your family’s needs and provide consistent, thoughtful care as those needs evolve.

Many of our patients have been with us for years, and we value the continuity that comes from growing alongside the families we serve.

“All the hygienists are so kind and patient with my little kids. There is a cute playroom in the waiting area to keep them busy and they have cartoons playing above the chair to distract them during treatment. Great for kids!”

What To Expect

1.

Preventive, Long-Term Focus

We prioritize regular exams, professional cleanings, and early identification of concerns to support lifelong oral health.

2.

Clear Communication

Treatment options are explained in straightforward language so you can feel confident in your decisions.

3.

Supportive, Comfort-Focused Care

We understand that some family members may feel nervous. Our team works patiently and offers sedation options when appropriate to ensure comfort.

Focused On Comfort​

If you feel nervous about dental procedures, please let us know. Dr. Smith and Dr. Plante offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help patients feel more relaxed during treatment. For more involved procedures such as wisdom tooth removal, gum grafting, or implant placement, intravenous sedation is available with our visiting surgeon, Dr. Max Silver.

Your comfort matters to us.
