Beeton Family Dental Centre is now open in New Tecumseth and accepting new patients.
Dentists Dr. Rosanna Porretta, DMD, and Dr. Pedram Pourshaba were surrounded by a large group of family and friends, as well as local dignitaries, as they cut the ceremonial grand opening ribbon last Thursday evening.
With an established practice in Bolton, The Times asked Dr. Porretta why the Beeton was chosen as their second location.
“My mother-in-law lives in Green Brier and used to drive through (Beeton) all the time,” she said. “I really liked the feel of the town and as well my hygienist Colleen from my Bolton practice recommended it because she lives here and knows that the town is now growing exponentially. There are three new medical offices as well as two new pharmacies.”
Additionally, Beeton Family Dental Centre was formed to serve and build healthier mouths in New Tecumseth, through modern dental care in a relaxing, warm setting. The practice boasts five treatment rooms and four of them are already fully furnished. Staffing is complete with local residents.
“We employ two young ladies born and raised in Beeton: Natasha Londono and Paulina Wright,” said Dr. Porretta. “Both are trained Level 2 Dental Assistants.”
Fully staffed, and outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment, the business is now accepting new patients.
“(We are) always accepting new patients and we work with each patient individually to meet their dental needs within their financial ability,” said Dr. Porretta. “Patients always come first and we work hard to meet their dental needs.”
Dr. Rosanna Porretta started assisting at the age of 15 just by chance, and she says the rest is history.
“(I) became a Dental Hygienist and then a Dentist,” she told The Times. “(I’ve) been in dentistry over 35 years and a practicing dentist in Bolton for the last 18 years.”
Dr. Pedram Pourshaban graduated from Dental School in Armenia about seven years ago and came to Canada to practice dentistry along with his wife who is also a dentist.
“He’s highly proficient in all aspects of dentistry including Orthodontics,” said Dr. Porretta.
Beeton Family Dental Centre provides regular dental services, including implants, bonding, crowns and bridges, teeth whitening, Invisalign, root canal, toothaches, and even handles dental emergencies.
Dr. Porretta was born in Toronto and raised in Woodbridge. She has long history in the dental field.
In 2000, Dr. Porretta established Bolton Family Dental Centre. Her straightforward approach and friendly, caring personality has served to grow the practice ever since.
In addition to General Family Dentistry, Dr Porretta has incorporated Cosmetic Dentistry, General Practice Orthodontics, Implantology and Laser Assisted Dentistry into her practice.
Through its website, Beeton Family Dental Centre has listed a lot of valuable information for new and returning patients.
“We believe informed patients are better prepared to make decisions about their health and well being. We encourage you to review this information to help you understand any health concerns you may face.”
