The best dental treatment is the one you never need. At Howe Sound Dental Group, our preventive dentistry in downtown Vancouver is designed to catch small issues before they become big (and expensive) ones.
Located at 1185 W Georgia St — steps from Coal Harbour, Burrard Station, and Vancouver’s business district — we make it easy to fit exceptional dental care into your busy downtown schedule, with evening appointments until 8 pm and alternating Saturdays.
Whether you work on West Georgia, live in Coal Harbour, or are searching for a “dental checkup near me,” our team is ready to help you keep your smile healthy for life.
With over 27 years of experience, Dr. Brian Baird has been transforming smiles in downtown Vancouver since graduating from UBC’s Faculty of Dentistry in 1999.

When you sit down for your smile consultation, you’re in the hands of one of Vancouver’s most experienced and trusted cosmetic dentists.
