The Team Behind Our Patients’ Beautiful Smiles

At Smile Design Ottawa in Orleans, Ontario, every member of our staff aims to provide the best quality dental care for our patients. In designing a cozy office environment, it is our aim to offer services in a space that leaves patients relaxed and comfortable. Of course, a large part of the patient experience comes about through the dedication of our staff. To acquaint you with our receptionist, hygienists, and dental assistant, we would like to share some short biographies with you.

Mission Statement

We are a small general family dental office with one dentist and five very competent, knowledgeable, and dedicated staff. Dr. Fong has thirty-two years of professional experience and has built upon a practice with multiple generations of returning patients. We offer a full range of dental services including, but not limited to, periodontics, endodontics, oral surgery, restorative, prosthodontics and full scope implantology. Most importantly, our goal is for your overall dental health. We place equal emphasis on your gum health, teeth integrity, TMJ, general nutrition, bite function, and appearance. We strive to deliver dental services with prevention, quality, comfort, and affordability all in mind.

“I take pride in what I do in dentistry. I want my work to be shown and judged by my colleagues to be of the utmost quality and merit. Even after over thirty years of my professional life, I still do not take any job lightly. Whether it be a simple filling or a quick recall examination, I want my work to be diligent and I want to do it with perfection. You owe it to your patients for their trust in you. You want every job that you do for your patients to last a very long time. That is the aptitude I take every day when I walk in my office. My patients’ interests always come first.” -Dr. Fong
