We continuously invest in upgrading our facilities to ensure a comfortable experience for our patients.

Over the past 38 years, we have grown from a single surgery practice to having eight beautiful dental treatment rooms, offering a wide range of dental treatments. Our supportive Dental Associates at Thornhill Dental have diverse special interests, including Implants, Invisalign, Facial Aesthetics, Skincare Specialists, Cosmetic Dentistry, TMJ, Endodontics, and Minor Oral Surgery.

At Thornhill Dental, we opted for a unified uniform for our clinical team, reflecting our values of teamwork and unity.
