What your first visit looks like.

  1. Pick a time that fits

    Book online or by phone. We run evening hours Tuesdays and Thursdays and Saturday mornings, because dentistry shouldn't cost you a workday.

  2. A proper look, explained

    Photos, digital X-rays and gum measurements, walked through on a screen in words that make sense. Ask anything, twice if you like.

  3. A plan and a real estimate

    You leave with a written plan, an insurance estimate, and zero pressure. "Watch it and check again in six months" is a perfectly good outcome.

No insurance? No problem.

A simple plan for uninsured families.

The Harbourlight Plan keeps routine care predictable and affordable, and members save on everything else.

Small team, familiar faces.

Harbourlight is run by Dr Maya Rousseau, a UBC dentistry graduate who opened the clinic to practice the way she'd want her own family treated. She works with dentist Dr Kevin Truong and hygienists Priya and Danielle.

You see the same clinician every visit, your history stays known, and nobody here has ever delivered a lecture about flossing. Judgment-free means exactly that.

Rated 5 out of 5

I used to dread sorting the claim forms more than the drill. Harbourlight billed my insurer directly and the estimate matched the final bill to the dollar. Gentlest cleaning I've ever had, too.

Chipped a molar on a Saturday hike. They saw me Monday at 8am, rebuilt it by 9, and I made my 9:30 meeting on the SeaBus.

Sixteen months of Invisalign and my wedding photos show every penny of it. The 3D preview sold me, the fifteen-minute checkups kept me.

Things patients ask before their first visit.

Yes, for most major Canadian insurers. Bring your policy details to your first visit and we submit claims electronically at the front desk. You pay only your portion on the day, and for bigger treatment plans we send a pre-determination first so you know exactly what your plan covers.

We do. If you're covered under the CDCP, call the front desk before booking and we'll confirm what your coverage includes and what, if anything, you'd pay out of pocket, before any appointment is made.

No. Roughly a third of our new patients haven't been in five years or more, and our only interest is where your teeth go from here. We'll deal with anything urgent first, then build a plan at whatever pace suits your comfort and your budget.

A full assessment with Dr Rousseau or Dr Truong: digital X-rays, photos, an oral cancer screening and gum measurements, all shown and explained on screen. The $249 fee includes the X-rays, and you leave with a written plan and estimate even if the plan is simply "all good, see you in six months".

Happily, from the first tooth. Early visits are short and friendly, built around getting comfortable in the chair rather than doing much of anything. Kids under six are free on a parent's Harbourlight Plan, and we'll never push treatment a child doesn't need.

Call (604) 555-0142 before 10am on a weekday and we will almost always see you the same day, whether or not you've been in before. Toothache, swelling, broken teeth and lost crowns all count. Getting you out of pain comes first; plans and estimates come after.

New patients, nervous patients, whole families: welcome.

One unhurried exam, a written plan, and your insurance handled at the front desk. That's the whole first visit.
