Meet the Hamilton dental teamHistory of Our Dental Practice
Nestled in the heart of Corktown, this dental practice has etched its legacy in Hamilton for decades. In June of 1982, the baton was passed as Dr. David Debenetti assumed stewardship from the esteemed Dr. Jeffrey Soloman, who embarked on a specialist’s path at 199 McNab St South in Hamilton. Dr. Debenetti’s commitment to dental excellence led to acquiring Dr. Stanley Holick’s practice upon the latter’s retirement in 1993. The Dental practice, too, embarked on a journey, relocating to 135 James Street South.
In 1996, the torch of responsibility was upheld once more as the practice took under its wings the patients of Dr. George Williams, who retired due to health issues. The year 2000 marked a prominent move to 68 Charlton Avenue West, symbolizing the practice’s continued growth and dedication to its patients. Notably, in 2021, the Dental practice found a new home at 182 Jackson Street East, continuing its unwavering mission to provide exceptional dental care to the community.
Throughout these years, the practice has touched the lives of countless patients, bringing forth new smiles and tending to their dental needs with unyielding commitment.
