We value the fact that a healthy smile is linked to overall health. At our friendly, comfortable practice, we treat our patients as we would our own families, through comprehensive and attentive oral health care.

We want all patients to leave our office feeling like we have addressed all their concerns and questions. Spring St. Dental offers a variety of services including cosmetic services, dental implants, family services, sedation options and orthodontics.

Our beautiful practice is located at 261 Spring Street in Coburg, ON. Our heritage building was once the original train station for the Northern Route, where coal was once hauled from the harbour.

Today, Victoria Hall has been transformed into our dental office, but it still maintains the heritage feel of the area.
