Composite Veneers
PROCEDURE INFORMATION
Dave came in with a discoloured composite restoration completed at another office. We were able to match a new one so that it is virtually undetectable.
Before
After
Invisalign, Whitening & Composite Bonding
Rachael wanted the ability to smile confidently and so with invisalign treatment, whitening and very conservative composite bonding on her canines we were able to achieve a beautiful and natural result that Rachael was looking for.
Orthodontic Treatment & Porcelain Crowns & Veneers
Marie-Lynn had crowns in the front that were causing her poor gum health. Orthodontics to move her teeth into optimal position as well as correct her bite along with a few porcelain crowns and veneers provided optimal gum health which enhanced and illuminated her beautiful smile. She was so pleased with the result!
Connective Tissue Grafting
A gingival graft procedure not only helped to enhance Jennifer's smile aesthetic with a very natural result but also restored her gums to optimal health which protects her teeth for the long term.
Porcelain Venners
Monica was unhappy with the space between her teeth and chipping. we helped her smile with confidence again with porcelain veneers.
“I've been going to Pretoria Bridge Dental since I was a kid and the experience has always been extremely pleasant. I've seen different staff throughout the years but they have always been amazing. Even after moving further away, I would still come back for the wonderful service. Highly recommend.”
“The best dental clinic that I know of. Dr. Hoeschen gave me 8 veneers and they look fantastic! I am always receiving compliments about them and I no longer try to hide my smile. The procedure was done very professionally and I was comfortable the entire time over multiple appointments. He and Aline are an amazing team that will deliver exceptional care. The whole office is an exceptional team. It really shows that he has a passion for dentistry and has pursued advanced dentistry to the best level possible. I myself am a dentist and he is one of the only dentists I would trust with my teeth!”

Recently renovated the facilities are streamlined and state-of-the-art! Front of house staff are welcoming and treat you with warmth and respect!

“If I could give this office 10 stars I would. The receptionist was very friendly. Dr. Gubernat was amazing as well as her assistant.they made you feel very relaxed and they are very professional. Sophie the dental hygienist was also amazing. Very happy with their services and I highly recommend.”
“I have enjoyed every experience I've had at Pretoria Bridge Dental and as someone who used to dread dental visits, that's not something I thought I'd ever say. The front staff are knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. The hygienists and dentists I've seen are the same! So knowledgeable and patient answering any questions I have. The facilities are very modern, clean and I love that there are screens in the rooms where the dentists can show and explain the photos and x-rays of your teeth.”
“I have been a patient at Pretoria Bridge Dental all my life (since I was 3-4 years old). I have had the pleasure of seeing multiple hygienists and dentists over that period and I've had an excellent experience each time. All the staff are very friendly and competent. And the office is very well set up (the new renovations are excellent). Also, the central location is convenient as I have moved numerous times around Ottawa (East, West, South). I highly recommend Pretoria Bridge Dental to anyone looking for a dentist in Ottawa.”
