Your North Vancouver Dentist
About Your Local Lynn Valley Dentist
Lynn Valley Dental Centre is a friendly dental practice in North Vancouver. We welcome patients from throughout the city and surrounding areas of British Columbia, Canada. Discover more about what makes us a popular choice for many of the area’s residents.
Our Clinic Values
Our patients trust us for their ongoing dental care. We believe good oral habits are formed early, which is why we offer children’s dental services. We also provide general dentistry services and preventive care appointments for teenagers and adults so that our full scope of services grows as your family grows.
We welcome patients who require cosmetic treatments and dental intervention to repair and improve their smiles. Many patients are nervous about complex procedures, but our friendly dentists are compassionate and understanding. That’s why we’re a popular choice for people who feel anxious about visiting the dentist.
Since we open late on Thursdays and every Saturday, we are an attractive choice for busy professionals. Many of our hard-working patients enjoy our convenient extended hours.
We are a wheelchair-accessible office: Physical disabilities are no barrier to quality dental care. We also have staff that speak a variety of languages, including Farsi, Spanish, Czech, German, and basic Russian, to provide the best care for our multicultural patients.

Reviews From Our Patients
Due to many reasons I had not been to the dentist in quite a few years and I will say that this was the friendliest dentist visit I have ever been to. Seriously recommend it to anyone that has any reservations about going to the dentist. Very modern with all the gizmos and gadgets that show it to be very modern, but the people there have decades of experience. Truly recommend it to anyone.
Have been going here for as long as I remember.
Ever since Dr. Mousavi started here and I went to him I’ve had nothing but great experiences. I Have recommended my friends and family.
I see Alison for my cleanings and she is just wonderful. She is very caring and gentle. I always have a good time in her chair.
I felt comfortable all the time and the staff was so nice and friendly.
As much as I'm dentist phobic, the staff at Lynn Valley Dental make it as stress free as possible. Today was a quick examination to confirm I need a root canal. Dr Moussavi explained my options and I feel comfortable having the procedure done. Thx!
Our Technologies
We combine proven dental techniques with the latest technologies to provide quality care for all our patients. Our digital X-rays are much safer for patients and emit 80% less radiation than traditional X-rays. We also have intraoral cameras. These technologies allow us to detect changes in our patients’ mouths before small issues become major problems.
Our laser whitening equipment effectively whitens teeth without making them sensitive. We also have cutting-edge cancer-screening devices which can accurately detect oral cancers and get our patients the treatment they need sooner.
Our Payment Options
For your convenience, we accept several payment options. You’re welcome to use your Visa or MasterCard credit card, your preferred debit card, or cash to pay your bill.
