About

Dental services the way it should be. I immigrated to Canada when I was 16 with my parents and my identical twin sister. Coming from a medical family I knew that I would do something in the health care field. I spent about a year at the dental office when we first moved fixing all my cavities and getting back to having a healthy mouth. The doctor that took care of me and my family made it the most comfortable, painless and safe experience for me and that was the moment I decided I wanted to do for people what she did for me! I took a scenic route to dentistry as directed by my mentor. She recommended I give it a try at a dental assisting or hygiene and see if I really love it first before committing myself to the long journey of becoming a doctor. I finished certified dental assisting course and started working in an office. I loved my job. In the meantime life happened - I got married and had children. After a couple of years I became a dental hygienist and continued my path on becoming a doctor. Besides helping patients with their dental health as well as encouraging them to be healthy overall, I think the best part about dentistry is the relationships that I build every day with my patients and my staff. I love coming to work knowing that my work family is there for me. Just like any family we have our ups and downs but we stick together and work through the challenges. In my 20+years in this field that is what I cherish the most.

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

In our practice we believe in a holistic approach. We take care of people not just teeth. Our goal is to provide exceptional and individualized care dependant on each patient's needs. We pride ourselves on latest technology and highest standard of infection control. Our dental team is highly educated and takes ongoing continuing eduction courses to be current in our field. Come and see for yourselves!

What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?

Cosmetic cases, (crowns/veneers/bridges), Clear aligner cases (Invisalign) and restorations (fillings). Some other ones include root canal therapy and extractions as getting people out of pain is also very important. Patients love to get care in the same place that they trust.

What are you proud of in your practice?

We are mostly proud of our team. We work together every day while having fun and you will hear laughter if you come to our office. Does your dentist make you smile?

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

I enjoy cosmetic cases the most as i feel that even though these are the most complex cases, they have the biggest reward at the end. Giving the patient confidence and joy through a beautiful smile they have always wanted it the best feeling!

    Dr Mota was friendly and professional. She explained every step and action which made it easy to understand and make decisions. Dr Mota and her staff were gentle and took care with the xrays, exam and cleaning of my teeth. I already have my 2nd appointment booked. I would definitely recommend Dr Mota and her team.

    Had the best experience here! After many complications in oral surgery, I wasn’t sure about my prior dentist and wanted to find someone whose practice had great reviews. Dr.Mota and her team are all incredibly positive, professional, welcoming, and made the best experience for me
