Mission
To help every patient build and maintain a healthy smile through care that is preventive and personal, explained clearly.
Our Practice
A familiar practice. The same commitment to care.
Dunbar Smiles is a family-focused dental practice with deep roots on Vancouver’s West Side. For decades, patients have returned to the same West 19th Avenue location for personal care, clear guidance, and relationships built over time.
Our History
Rooted in Dunbar since the 1970s.
For more than five decades, Suite 5 at 3615 West 19th Avenue has been home to a dental practice rooted in the Dunbar community. Dr. Patricia Piller opened the original practice in the mid-1970s, followed by Dr. George Porteous, who cared for generations of patients here for 36 years.
Today, Dr. Sabeen Tiwana carries that legacy forward, preserving what patients have always valued: personal connection, continuity, prevention, and honest communication, supported by a modern approach to care.
Values
Compassion, respect, honesty, and long-term relationships grounded in trust.
Approach
Thoughtful, prevention-first dentistry supported by modern tools, practical treatment planning, and communication patients can understand.
Our Story
The same commitment to care, thoughtfully carried forward.
The practice has evolved and the team has grown, but the focus remains personal, dependable dental care that patients can understand.
From prevention and routine visits to more complex treatment planning, we aim to keep each step clear, considered, and connected to your long-term oral health.
