Assessible Dentistry: A Longtime Vision for Dr. David Smith

For many years, Dr. David Smith hoped to make our St. Catharines dental office fully accessible. However, our St. Catharines practice is located in a beautiful Victorian home built in the 1800s. Making the extensive structural changes necessary to accommodate wheelchair access would mean significantly altering or removing many of the historic architectural features that make the building so special, including its original ceilings.

When the opportunity arose to acquire a building specifically designed with accessibility in mind, we knew it was something we wanted to pursue. Having a fully accessible dental office was something Dr. Smith had always envisioned, and we are proud to have made that vision a reality at our Ridgeway location. Accessibility has always been important to Dr. Smith, and it remains a priority for our entire team today.
