You want your dental professionals to be sincerely interested in you and your long-term dental health. Our clinic staff place great importance on patient education and have made it a key element of this practice for over 20 years. The clinic houses two separate dentists, Dr. Tom Greene and Dr. Sarah Harland, both of them residents of the community who have served patients with diligence for many years.

Dr. Harland is an experienced dentist with more than 18 years of clinical expertise who shares the same patient care philosophy of Dr. Greene.

Both Tom and Sarah and their staff ensure that all patients understand the proposed treatment before it begins. They always offer alternatives for any treatment prescribed and take the time to discuss the pros and cons of each alternative with patients. Your dentists and their staff are continually improving and updating their dental education through continued professional development. Patients benefit from improved knowledge. The implementation of new technology and techniques ensures all treatment is up to date and of the highest quality.

Tsawwassen Place Dental Clinic operates as two distinct dental offices under one roof. All our staff are highly experienced and provide exceptional levels of dental care. Take a moment to get to know the members of our team.
