At Wellness Based Dentistry™ clients are receiving dental care that preserves more than their teeth. With a strong belief that the mouth indicates the general well-being of the whole body, Dr. Dana Colson, along with her associates, is bringing together leading-edge technology and alternative modalities to give clients award-winning smiles that enhance their lives. In her own words:
Having graduated from Dentistry in 1977 from the University of Toronto, I was fascinated with how the health of the body was reflected in the mouth.My interest in dentistry stemmed from my fear of dentists. I chose the profession of dentistry because I was determined to overcome my fear of dentistry and help others. The more I learned about the art and science the more my fears diminished. I believe that our clients need to be provided with significant information about their mouth and the various options that are available to them so that we can co-diagnose and co-explore the different opportunities together.My teaching expands internationally from Canada, Cuba, Mexico, the United States to China. I was a regular contributor to the Ask-A-Dentist column in Chatelaine, and am a regular oral health consultant on AM 740’s “From a Woman’s Perspective” with Marilyn Wetston. I have featured articles in The Globe and Mail, and had several TV appearances nationwide on City TV, TVO, CHCH, CTV, Fashion TV, Global TV as well as radio exposure on Proud FM and 740 AM.Wellness Based Dentistry ™ offers a full range of dental services, including general dentistry, conservative cosmetic treatments, implants and orthodontics. The practice has been amalgam (silver-mercury) free since 1983. An integrated approach to all dental treatments creates the best results for our clients. We consult with clients on creating individualized treatment plans and help coordinate material testing and detoxification programs with other health care providers dependant on individual’s needs.Diagnostic chairside mockups are available with photography to envision the future for cosmetic and functional changes and computer imaging. We welcome new patients and are happy to explore the possibilities to enable you to keep your teeth for a lifetime.
