A Trusted Practice, A New Chapter

Continuing 25 years of care on Saint Paul Street

The Biomimetic Difference

"Every filling that's larger than it needs to be starts a cycle: more drilling, bigger repairs, weaker tooth. We work to break that cycle."

Dr. Doug Whitelaw

Doug loves two things: teaching people about their oral health, and dentistry that genuinely lasts. He trained in biomimetic techniques because he believes the best dentistry is the kind you need less of over time.

Serious about the craft, never robotic about the people. Expect clear explanations, real options, and probably a bad joke or two.
