General dentistry, hygiene, cosmetic work, implants, root canals, and emergencies, handled in-house by a team that includes a general dentist of 30+ years, an endodontist, and a periodontist. You rarely need to be referred elsewhere, and you see the same faces every visit.
Everyday dental care for the whole family: check-ups, x-rays, fillings, extractions, and gum care, all delivered in one North Vancouver clinic. We focus on catching problems early, explaining what we find in plain language, and treating only what genuinely needs treating.
Explore general dentistry
Preventive dentistry that keeps small problems small. A full examination, scaling to remove plaque and tartar, polishing, fluoride, and an oral-cancer screening, plus practical coaching on brushing and flossing so your results hold between visits.
Explore dental exams & cleanings
Whitening, porcelain veneers, Invisalign clear aligners, dental bonding, gum contouring, and tooth-coloured fillings. We plan cosmetic work around your face and your budget, and we'll tell you honestly which treatment gets you the result you want for the least intervention.
Explore cosmetic dentistry
A permanent replacement for a missing tooth. A biocompatible titanium post is placed in the jawbone to act as a new root, then restored with a crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Placed in-house by Dr. Pouran Rostamian, a periodontist and UBC clinical instructor with 25+ years in implant and gum surgery.
Explore dental implants
Saving a tooth that would otherwise be pulled. Dr. Behdad Moslehi completed a specialty program in endodontics and has focused on root canal therapy for over 25 years, where another dentist may say extraction is the only option, he will go out of his way to save the tooth. Modern anaesthesia makes the appointment comfortable.

“Dr. Goshtasby is extremely professional. I usually hate going to the dentist, but he made the whole experience much easier for me. Breathing through my nose is very difficult, and he was very considerate of that throughout the procedure.”
“Highly recommend Dr. Farhad Goshtasby Ardekani and the team at Brighter Smile! Very professional, honest, and caring throughout the entire visit.”

No. Brighter Smile is a general practice and you can book directly, including for treatments that usually need a specialist, our team includes an endodontist for root canals and a periodontist for gum surgery and implants.
It depends entirely on what you need, so we assess first and give you a written estimate before anything is booked. We also check what your CDCP or private insurance covers, so the figure you see is what you would actually pay.
We do our best to see genuine emergencies the same day. Call the emergency line on (604) 441-1996 rather than emailing, the phone gets you an answer fastest, and we can tell you what to do while you're on your way.
