A Dental Home for Every Generation
Finding one dental office that truly looks after everyone — the kindergartner, the teenager in aligners, the busy parents and the grandparents — shouldn't be complicated. At Dentistry @ Manotick, family dentistry means exactly that: complete, coordinated care for every member of your household, all at 990 River Road in the heart of Manotick village.
Because your family's history lives under one roof, we notice patterns a rotating cast of clinics would miss — a parent's deep grooves showing up in a child's molars, or early signs of grinding running through the family. That continuity leads to earlier prevention, fewer surprises and less dentistry over a lifetime.
What Family Dentistry Includes
- Comprehensive dental exams — thorough check-ups with digital x-rays only when they're actually needed
- Professional cleanings — gentle hygiene visits that keep gums healthy and smiles bright
- Tooth-coloured, amalgam-free fillings — we restore cavities with mercury-free materials that blend invisibly
- Children's dentistry — happy first visits and specialist pediatric care
- Night guards and sports guards — protection for grinders and goal-scorers alike
- Periodontal (gum) therapy — because healthy teeth need healthy foundations
- Senior dental care — dry-mouth management, denture care and restorations that keep you eating comfortably
When your family needs more — dental implants, Invisalign, a root canal or wisdom tooth removal — we handle most of it right here, so you're rarely sent across Ottawa to a stranger.
Why South Ottawa Families Choose Us
Gentle, pain-free philosophy. Our whole practice was built around comfortable dentistry — numbing that's done patiently, sedation options for anxious patients of any age, and a team that never rushes you.
Hours that respect your schedule. Monday evenings until 7:00 pm and select Saturdays mean check-ups don't have to compete with work, school or hockey practice.
The money part, made simple. We work with all insurance plans, offer direct billing so you only pay your co-portion, accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and provide flexible financing for bigger treatments.
A real village practice. We live here too — sponsoring local schools and teams and donating more than $27,000 in free dental care to our community.
Your First Family Visit
Your first appointment starts with a conversation, not a lecture. We'll review your history, complete a thorough exam, take digital x-rays if needed, and build a prevention-first plan that fits your family's real life and budget. Bring any recent x-rays, a list of medications, and your insurance details — our online forms let you finish the paperwork from your couch before you arrive.
Family Dentistry — Frequently Asked Questions
Are you accepting new families as patients?
Yes — we're warmly welcoming new families from Manotick, Riverside South, Barrhaven, Greely, Osgoode and across Ottawa South. New patients who complete an exam, x-rays and cleaning receive a free electric toothbrush.
Can my whole family book appointments together?
Absolutely. Our front desk team is happy to coordinate back-to-back appointments so your family can come in together — one trip, everyone looked after. Call (613) 491-3300 and we'll build a block that works for you.
What ages do you treat?
All of them. Our general dentists care for teens, adults and seniors, and Dr. Julie Maniate — a board-certified specialist in pediatric dentistry — cares for infants and children, including anxious little ones and children with special needs.
Do you offer evening or weekend appointments for working parents?
Yes. We're open until 7:00 pm on Mondays and offer select Saturday hours, specifically so shift workers, students and busy parents don't have to miss work or school for dental care.
