Services
General Dentistry
Our comprehensive general dentistry services include checkups, cleanings, fillings, and oral cancer screenings. We focus on early detection of dental issues while maintaining preventive care. Patients receive personalized hygiene guidance to complement professional treatments.
Orthodontics
We offer traditional braces and Invisalign clear aligners for correcting misaligned teeth and jaw issues. Early intervention options help children develop proper bite patterns. Digital imaging shows treatment outcomes before starting orthodontic work.
Cosmetic Services
Teeth whitening, veneers, and Bioclear bonding improve smile aesthetics. Our dentists address gaps, discoloration, and shape irregularities using minimally invasive techniques. Botox treatments complement dental work by reducing facial expression lines.
Dental Implants
Implant-supported restorations replace missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking solutions. We handle both implant placement and crown fabrication. This service restores chewing function while preventing bone loss associated with tooth loss.
Children's Dentistry
Early dental visits start at age one with non-threatening examinations. We monitor development while educating families about proper oral hygiene. Preventative treatments like sealants protect young teeth while establishing positive dental habits.

Best dentist appointment ever. After a snow shoveling incident on the weekend and losing a chunk of my front tooth (not an emergency - just not pretty) Pat was able to squeeze me into the Monday schedule. Dr Matt is amazing and I left there fully restored. Stellar care from the front desk to the chair. You guys are the best.

Always an easy, positive experience at Penticton Dental. The front end staff to the hygienists and dentists are always lovely, present, kind and mindful of time. Things run smoothly and the energy is great. Highly recommended. I've been going to for years.

Report
I've been to them a few times. The dental hygienists are great. Last time I went there however was for a free filling and it was the most horrific experience of my life. They had a trainee assisting the dentist because it was a free procedure and she had no idea what she was doing. There were moments where I couldn't breathe and the tooth isn't even properly fixed after them doing a filling twice now. Today I called to book an apt for my boyfriend and I as I will have benefits again soon and was told they aren't taking new patients (as my bf hasn't been there before). They just lost themselves

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Saina! She made me feel very comfortable during my process with Bioclear and Im in love with the results. Thank you so much and I look forward to my visits in the future.

I would recommend Penticton Dental Centre to anyone looking for a new dentist in the South Okanagan. I switched to Dr. Saina a few years ago after a bad experience with another dentist and have had nothing but positive experiences since. Tanya and the front office staff are friendly and helpful when booking appointments and always greet you with a smile upon entering the building. I have had Jenna as my hygienist the last few visits and her professionalism and kindness go above and beyond. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else for my family's dental care.
