Best place ever!! Love love the customer service at Heritage Family Dental. I really appreciate all the care and support I received here. Dr Paul Comartin and his team have completely changed my perception of dental visits! I was amazed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere, which instantly put me at ease. He patiently listened to my concerns, explained the procedure in a reassuring manner, and answered all of my questions. Thanks to him, I no longer dread going to the dentist. Amen

First time client, and I am so happy I found this clinic. The atmosphere is very welcoming, and it’s a beautiful building. Every staff member I interacted with was very friendly and helpful. My dental hygienist, Christina, was gentle and thorough with the cleaning. She took time to educate me on oral health things specific to me, which I appreciated quite a lot. Dr Paul was great as well! I felt heard when I discussed my concerns, and confident that I was in good hands. I am looking forward to my future teeth cleanings and dental work.

I couldn’t be happier with my choice of dentist with Dr. Comartin. I recently moved to Nelson with my wife and 3 kids and the way he was able to provide a positive and fun experience for our nervous kids was unbelievable. They had the most clever strategies with our children to keep them comfortable. Our daughter Anna had the biggest smile after getting a filling done. I highly recommend Heritage Family Dental to everyone!! Absolutely amazing! 🙂

All service – receptionist, dental staff, and hygienist – was friendly and on time. Although my teeth were in reasonably good condition, the hygienist did a thorough check-up and cleaning and gave me tips on how to prevent decay. The visit brightened my whole day. Thanks, Heritage Family Dental!

I highly recommend this clinic. I recently had some cosmetic dental work done, and Paul did a fantastic job. He recommended a new, cutting-edge form of treatment that not only looked great but was also covered under my benefits.

Heritage Family Dental clinic is the best dental clinic I’ve visited. The staff are supportive and considerate. I’ve struggled with different clinic with cleanings and their dental hygienist being too rough. Dallas is thorough and gentle. Highly recommend taking your business here.

What is the Mouth-Body Connection?

Good dental health is essential for your overall well-being. Problems like gum disease can lead to serious health issues such as heart disease and diabetes, while regular dental checkups can help detect early signs of other illnesses. Healthy teeth also make it easier to eat and stay nourished, while a pain-free smile boosts your confidence and mental health. Taking care of your mouth helps protect your body and keeps you feeling your best.

The Different Types of Mouth Guards

Mouth guards come in three main types, each offering varying levels of fit and protection.

Stock mouth guards are pre-formed and readily available at sporting goods stores, but they often provide a poor fit and minimal protection.

Boil-and-bite mouth guards are softened in boiling water and then molded to fit the wearer’s teeth.

Custom-made mouth guards are recommended for the highest level of fit and protection.

Where does it come from?

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites […]

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web […]
