Centre Dentaire Griffin ★9.9

Here they will also tell you when it is better to wait

What Centre Dentaire Griffin is known for is straight talk about the treatment plan. Patients report the same thing visit after visit: they are told that a cavity may not get worse, that a temporary filling is enough for now — and at no point do they feel pushed into accepting a procedure. Founded in 2013 by Dr Michael Malouf, the clinic is Griffintown’s neighbourhood practice.

Treatments and services

Cleaning, full examination and radiographs; sealants and fluoride for prevention. Root canal therapy under local anesthesia to keep the natural tooth. Gum treatment: periodontal examination, deep scaling, surgery once gingivitis has progressed to periodontitis. Extractions and oral surgery, wisdom teeth included. Ceramic or zirconia crowns and bridges, white fillings, porcelain veneers, in-office whitening. Implants anchored directly in the bone to replace one or several teeth. Orthodontics with Invisalign aligners is also part of the offer.

The clinic and its laboratory

Dr Malouf designed and equipped the space himself: bright, minimalist rooms, sterilisation controls, recent equipment. A dental laboratory is integrated on site, which keeps part of the prosthetic work in-house. For comfort, ceiling-mounted televisions in the treatment rooms, an interactive waiting area and automated reminders.

The team

Dr Michael Malouf, the owner, a 2011 graduate of the Université de Montréal, devotes himself to oral surgery and periodontics. Dr Olivier Marceau, a graduate of Université Laval with a residency at the Montreal General Hospital, covers periodontal surgery, surgical extractions, endodontics, orthodontics and prosthodontics. Dr Kelsey Vaughan, also from Laval, handles general dentistry; Dr Sophie Robert, from the Université de Montréal, restorative dentistry. Dr Gagnon completes the group.

Who it suits

For the person who leaves another office with a long list of procedures and wants an honest second opinion. For families in Griffintown and the Sud-Ouest, since children are followed in the same place as their parents. For anyone with a wisdom tooth or diseased gums who would rather be operated on where they are already known.
