Terry Fox Dental Clinic
A family-run practice treating families for over 23 years. Our patients arrive as children and return as parents which is the clearest measure of whether a practice is doing its job.
Our family dentistry covers every stage of life, which means one clinic, one set of records, and one team who know your household rather than four separate practices to coordinate.
Comprehensive exams, professional cleanings, digital X-rays with AI-assisted analysis, fluoride treatments, sealants, and oral cancer screening at every checkup.
Tooth-coloured fillings, same-day CEREC crowns, bridges, root canal therapy, extractions and dentures.
Professional whitening, porcelain veneers, bonding and full smile makeovers with digital design.
Custom night guards for grinding and sports guards for hockey, football and martial arts. We fit a great many of these for Kanata and Stittsville minor sports families.
As a children’s dentist practice serving Kanata and Stittsville, we take extra time with young patients. The first visit is deliberately low-pressure: counting teeth, a ride in the chair, familiarisation rather than intervention.
The Canadian Dental Association recommends a first visit by the first birthday or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits are not about finding problems they are about making the dental office an ordinary, unremarkable place before anything ever needs doing.
Our children’s services include exams and cleanings, fluoride varnish, sealants on permanent molars, tooth-coloured fillings, space maintainers, and emergency care for the playground accidents that inevitably happen. Nitrous oxide sedation is available where it genuinely helps.
Parents regularly tell us their children stopped dreading appointments after switching to us. That is worth more than any technology we could list, and it is the part of the practice we are most protective of.
We have been the family dentist for households across Kanata and Stittsville for over 23 years. In that time we have watched patients arrive as children and come back as parents with children of their own which is the clearest measure of whether a practice is doing its job properly.
What patients tell us most often is that they see the same faces at every visit. High staff retention is not an accident it means your hygienist remembers your history, your children build a relationship with someone they recognise, and nobody has to re-explain their anxieties at every appointment.
From families across Kanata, Stittsville and West Ottawa.
Yes. We warmly welcome new patients from Kanata, Stittsville, Bridlewood, Katimavik, Glen Cairn, Carp, Richmond and across West Ottawa. Most new patients are seen within the week, and every first visit includes a complimentary electric toothbrush.
We are at 600 Terry Fox Drive, Suite 205 in Kanata approximately eight minutes from Stittsville Main Street with free on-site parking. From Stittsville, take Hazeldean Road east, continue onto Katimavik Road, then turn left onto Terry Fox Drive.
The Canadian Dental Association recommends a first visit by the first birthday or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits are about familiarisation rather than treatment counting teeth, sitting in the chair, and making the dental office ordinary rather than frightening.
Your first visit is unhurried and personalised. You will meet your dental team and discuss your history, concerns and goals. The assessment includes digital X-rays, AI-assisted analysis, a 3D iTero scan, and an oral cancer screening. We then build a treatment plan around your priorities, comfort and budget.
Yes to both. We accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan and submit claims to private insurers on your behalf. As a fee-for-service office you pay upfront and are reimbursed, and we can request pre-determinations in advance so coverage is clear before treatment begins.
We can often arrange back-to-back family appointments so you make one trip rather than three. Let our front desk know when booking and we will do our best to group your household together, which is particularly useful for families travelling in from Stittsville or Carp.
Same day crowns are often ideal when one damaged tooth can be restored with a durable ceramic crown in a single appointment. Traditional crowns may be the better choice when your case needs a wider choice of materials, more complex cosmetic detail, or laboratory craftsmanship. At Terry Fox Dental Centre, we do not believe every tooth […]
Choosing the right family dentist is one of the quiet decisions that shapes your children’s health for decades. A good dental home turns nervous first visits into confident routines, catches small problems before they grow, and cares for every age under one roof. This guide walks parents in Kanata and Stittsville through everything that matters, from when […]
The Canadian Dental Care Plan, known as the CDCP, is now open to eligible Canadian residents of every age. For families across Kanata and Stittsville, that change opens the door to dental care that once felt out of reach. However, the application still confuses many people, and small mistakes can delay coverage by weeks. This […]
