About
Dr. Fraser MacKinlay and staff are very pleased to announce that Dr. Tyler Slipacoff will be joining Fraser’s practice of dentistry in June 2019. Equally exciting we would like to announce that we will be moving our practice to 929 Michigan Ave. (across the street from Northern High School) effective April 1st, 2019. This facility has just recently been totally renovated with the latest technology and equipment to better serve you in total comfort and care.
Dr. MacKinlay has known Tyler for many years as he was born and raised in Sarnia. Tyler went to Lakeroad Public School and Northern High School.
Tyler’s education is very extensive as he has received his Doctor of Medical Dentistry (DMD) in Europe and then he will receive his Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S. same as Fraser’s) from Western University this summer.
This will mean the excellent dental care you have received from Fraser over the last 39 years will continue, but we will now be able to offer many more services, eliminating referrals to other dentists and specialists.
With Tyler’s dental education and expertise our practice will be able to offer you the following care and treatment:
Full mouth reconstruction.
Smile redesign + rejuvenation with crowns and veneers.
Same day crowns + ceramic fillings with the Cerac computer technology.
Implant surgery and bone grafting.
Placement of crows + dentures on implants.
Partial + complete dentures.
Orthodontics for children and adults with Invisalign (no braces) or conventional braces.
Hospital dentistry for young children that need extensive care but are too young to sit in the dental chair. Also hospital dentistry will be available for adults as well.
Wisdom teeth removal and extractions.
Most importantly, Fraser is not retiring any time soon but is expanding his practice to better serve you and his valued patients.
Once again, Fraser and his staff would like to thank you for your years of support and loyalty in the past and your continued support in the future. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to call Fraser at any time.
We are very excited for you to meet Tyler and to see you in our new office.
