Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services focus on preventive care, including checkups, cleanings, and oral hygiene education. We diagnose and treat cavities, gum disease, and oral infections using digital X-rays and advanced diagnostics. The practice emphasizes early detection to prevent costly dental issues while providing patient-centered education on maintaining oral health.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We offer teeth whitening, veneers, and smile makeovers using CEREC technology for same-day restorations. Our team combines artistic skill with digital scanning to create natural-looking results. Treatments address discoloration, misalignment, and damaged teeth while ensuring biocompatible materials for long-term oral health and aesthetic satisfaction.
Orthodontics
Invisalign clear aligners and traditional orthodontic treatments correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. We utilize iTero scanners for precise digital impressions and treatment planning. Our approach focuses on improving dental function while enhancing facial aesthetics through customized orthodontic solutions for teens and adults.
Dental Implants
We provide implant-supported restorations using 3D imaging and guided surgery for accurate placement. The process includes bone grafting when necessary and CAD/CAM technology for crowns and bridges. Our goal is to restore chewing function and appearance while ensuring long-term implant stability through meticulous planning and follow-up care.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options help patients with dental anxiety undergo treatments comfortably. We offer nitrous oxide, oral sedatives, and IV sedation tailored to individual needs. The team prioritizes patient safety while ensuring procedures feel relaxed and stress-free, enabling comprehensive care for anxious or phobic patients.

This was the first time to Dr. Boumas Dental Clinic . He has a very kind and caring Dentist. He took his time and explained everything to me in detail. Today was my second appointment and he pulled a bad tooth, yes hes opened on Saturdays as well. I am a very nervous person and not a very good dentist patient, He was very patient with me and the tooth is out. I would highly recommend him to anyone which I have already to my sons.v he was very patient with me and the tooth is out. I would highly recommend him to anyone which I have already to my sons.

This was a horrible dentist I have ever been. I came for dental check-up for my kids. After the treatment, I tried to talk to the dentist to ask a question. He never showed up, and the asked me to book another appointment. Crazy... If you are new patient, don't go there. you will regret it and waste your money....

I explain why this dentist is the worst one in Hamilton. First of all, they dont know what the customer service is. For example, the customer pays for an expensive dental fee. They request x-ray and other treatment. As parents we have the right to talk whats going on my kids status. However, I have never met a dentist. i only spoke to its staff. I am paying money to talk your staff. i did not come to talk to your staff. This is the basic in customer care. Maybe, they could keep their existing customer. I surely tell you. If you are new customer and looking for a dentist, dont go here
