Highly recommend The Local Dental Group. Friendly; precise; professional; clean practice and genuine kind people. I visited for a second opinion for crowns/ implants and it was the best decision. Through difficult times, the staff became flexible to accommodate my situation and delivered higher than my expectations. Thank you Jas, Tanya & Jannik! This is now our new family dentist.

Thank you so much Dr De Silva and Nurse Tanya for helping me be comfortable and easing my stress during my appointment with you guys. I was so worried prior to my visit but as soon as I entered your practice, I felt confident and calm. Once again, thank you for being such nice, warm and comforting people!!

Very friendly service. The dentist was very good with my 2 and 4 year old. Located in a very cute little shopping strip with easy parking. Clinic was clean and I love places where the waiting room has some toys for the kids to play with while they wait.
