Comprehensive Exam
Our comprehensive exams include medical history review, oral cancer screening, digital X-rays, and periodontal evaluation to create personalized treatment plans. We examine bite alignment, tooth decay, and TMJ function to address all aspects of oral health. This thorough assessment helps prevent future dental issues through early detection and patient education.
Preventive Services
We offer hygiene appointments, fluoride treatments, sealants, and desensitization therapies to maintain optimal oral health. Our hygienists clean hard-to-reach areas, provide home care education, and use preventive measures to reduce decay risk. Regular cleanings and checkups help maintain dental wellness while minimizing future interventions.
Restorative Procedures
Our restorative services include fillings, root canals, crowns, bridges, and implants to repair damaged teeth. We use tooth-colored composites, porcelain restorations, and durable materials to restore function and aesthetics. These treatments address decay, cracks, and missing teeth while preserving natural tooth structure.
Cosmetic Procedures
We provide Zoom whitening, veneers, bonding, and Invisalign to improve smile appearance. These treatments address discoloration, gaps, misalignment, and shape irregularities using advanced techniques. Our cosmetic services combine aesthetic artistry with functional dental science for natural-looking results.

When Mark Poustie moved from Hamilton to St. Catharines, I chose to go with him. Very happy with my decision. Found the staff in St. Kits to be as wonderful as I was used to in Hamilton. One of the better choices I have made. Thoughtful and caring staff have only cemented my decision to move. "Mark" is still the best!!!!

Professional, clean comfortable and friendly. I had been going to the same dentist who was a family friend for my entire life but traveling to Brampton for dentists appointments were no longer feasible. That being said I was nervous I wouldnt be able to find a dentist that could make me feel as comfortable. I was wrong. I highly recommend Harbourside dental. Their entire team is top notch!
