Services
Airway Centric Dentistry
Specialized treatment addressing airway development and breathing disorders through orthodontic appliances and myofunctional therapy. We correct sleep-disordered breathing patterns in children and adults using non-retractive orthodontics that build facial structure around open airways. Our approach combines dental care with sleep medicine to improve oxygenation, reduce snoring, and enhance overall health through proper nasal breathing.
Holistic Dentistry
Integrative dental care focusing on the oral-systemic health connection. We provide mercury-safe removal with IAOMT protocols, nutritional counseling for dental development, and posture correction through bite alignment. Our practice uses phase contrast microscopy for bacterial analysis and emphasizes non-invasive treatments that support overall wellness while addressing dental concerns through biocompatible materials and functional approaches.
Tongue Tie Release
Minimally invasive laser procedures to correct restricted oral frenula in infants, children, and adults. Using CO2 laser technology, we release tongue and lip ties to improve breastfeeding, speech, feeding, and sleep patterns. Our comprehensive approach includes pre- and post-operative therapy with lactation consultants, craniosacral therapists, and myofunctional specialists to ensure optimal functional outcomes and long-term benefits for patients of all ages.
Pediatric Sedation
Gentle dental care for children using safe sedation techniques to ensure comfortable treatment experiences. Our pediatric services focus on early airway development assessment, preventive care, and creating positive dental associations. We specialize in treating young patients with special needs and those requiring complex procedures through tailored sedation options that prioritize safety and comfort while maintaining high-quality dental outcomes.
Emergency Care
Urgent dental treatment for acute oral health crises including trauma, infections, and severe pain management. We provide same-day appointments for emergency cases with immediate access to diagnostic imaging and pain relief solutions. Our team handles broken teeth, abscesses, and other urgent conditions while addressing underlying issues to prevent future emergencies through comprehensive follow-up care.

I actually anticipate going to my dental appointment because the incredibly friendly, helpful, and patient staff! I am always welcomed with such a warm greeting, any nerves I get from dental visits just melt away. The admin staff, dental hygienists, Dr. Johal, and Shannon for myofunctional therapy are all such a lovely team of people who truly care for your well-being and dental health. They helped me understand my teeth and possible changes now that is a decade after my braces/ orthodontic

I brought my son to Dr. Johal and this was his first dental visit. She is such a kind person and made my son feel so comfortable. Also she took her time answering my questions and I did not feel rushed.

If you need a sign to call this office for yours or your childs next appointment, this is it. I cannot say enough great things about the whole team at Family Dental Centre in Guelph. I scheduled an appointment for my daughter to have a lip tie consultation, and from the moment we walked through the door the entire team blew me away. They immediately did everything they could to put my daughter at ease (putting on cartoons, bringing out a wagon full of blocks, singing Baby Shark!), and made sure to keep me calm too by explaining everything they were doing and giving me all of the information
