A Dental Office With A View.

Located right on Queen Street in beautiful Kincardine, our modern facility features stunning views of Lake Huron from most of our dental chairs.

We have been open since May of 1978, and our latest expansion includes a fantastic second-floor addition with many enhancements such as massage chairs, flat screen TV’s, internet access, and oversized windows with breathtaking views of the lighthouse, the lake, and the harbour. In fact, the photo at the top of this page was taken from our window!

In spite of our growth, we have tried to keep the same friendly, small-town, relaxed atmosphere that we had when the practice opened so many years ago. The team here at Lakeview Dental takes pride in our high standards of patient care. We strive to be up to date with current education, and we incorporate the best new techniques, materials and equipment available.

We invite you to look through our website, if any questions please phone 519-396-3339 or email lakeview@kincardinedentist.com.
