Riviera Dental Clinic

What Riviera Dental Clinic does

Riviera Dental Clinic is a privately held, single-location dental practice headquartered at 629 Lansdowne St #101 in downtown Kamloops, British Columbia, beside the Thompson River. The clinic is operated by a team of four UBC-trained DMD dentists — Dr. Navreet Dhaliwal, Dr. Kaitlin Olson, Dr. Kelsey Davie, and Dr. Sun — and offers a comprehensive menu of general, restorative, cosmetic, surgical, and emergency dental services. Core offerings include dental bridges, crowns, fillings, root canals, dentures, dental implants, wisdom tooth extraction, Invisalign clear aligners, and teeth whitening, all delivered in-house using modern diagnostic technology such as digital X-rays, digital imaging, and iTero 3D scanning for Invisalign treatment planning. Emergency dental care with same-day appointments is a featured service, alongside extended Saturday hours.

The clinic operates a direct-to-consumer, fee-for-service model in which patients book appointments via phone or an online contact form and pay at the point of service. It complements private fee-for-service revenue with electronic direct billing to insurance providers and acceptance of the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), administered by Sun Life, which broadens access to federally insured seniors, children, persons with disabilities, and income-eligible working-age adults. Marketing is concentrated on local SEO, an educational blog, and Google reviews (4.4/5 across 82 reviews). The business is independently owned, with no disclosed parent company, private equity backing, or external funding, and is reliant on a single Kamloops storefront for 100% of its revenue.

Products and services

• Dental Bridges Long-lasting prosthetic devices that bridge gaps created by one or more missing teeth, anchored by crowns on adjacent teeth or implants, to restore chewing ability, prevent tooth shifting, and improve bite alignment and facial structure. Intended for patients with tooth loss due to decay, trauma, or disease.
• Dental Crowns Custom dental crowns that restore broken, decaying, or structurally impaired teeth, protecting them from further damage while maintaining natural appearance and function. Intended for patients with damaged or weak teeth requiring structural restoration.
• Dental Fillings Restorative dental fillings that repair decayed, worn, or fractured teeth using tooth-colored composite, silver amalgam, or glass ionomer materials. Intended for patients with tooth decay or minor tooth damage.
• Root Canal Therapy Root canal therapy that treats infection or inflammation inside the tooth's pulp, preserving the natural tooth by disinfecting and sealing the canals, typically followed by crown placement. Intended for patients experiencing persistent toothache, swelling, or pulp infection.
• Emergency Dental Care Same-day emergency dental care for severe toothaches, cracked or broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, infections, lost fillings or crowns, and other urgent dental issues requiring immediate attention. Intended for patients experiencing acute dental emergencies.
• Invisalign Clear Aligners Invisalign clear aligner treatment using a series of custom-made, transparent, removable trays to gradually shift teeth into proper alignment for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and bite issues. Treatment planning is supported by iTero 3D digital scanning. Intended for patients seeking orthodontic alignment without traditional braces.
• Wisdom Tooth Extraction Gentle wisdom tooth removal using modern diagnostics and minimally invasive techniques, addressing persistent pain, impaction, crowding, or recurring infections. Intended for patients requiring surgical removal of wisdom teeth.
• Dentures Removable artificial teeth including full (complete), partial, implant-supported, and immediate dentures that restore missing teeth for natural appearance, chewing ability, and confidence. Intended for patients requiring replacement of multiple or full-arch missing teeth.
• Dental Implants Titanium dental implants surgically placed into the jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or dentures, providing permanent tooth replacement that looks, functions, and feels like natural teeth. Intended for patients seeking permanent tooth replacement.
• Teeth Whitening Professional teeth whitening treatments including in-office procedures, take-home kits with custom trays, and touch-up treatments to lift stains and enhance natural smile brilliance. Intended for patients seeking cosmetic enhancement of tooth shade.

Broad incumbents

• Heartland Dental: US-based dental support organization backing hundreds of general dentistry offices. Comparable to Riviera in core general-dentistry service delivery model, though Heartland operates as a DSO rather than an independent clinic.
• Aspen Dental: US-based multi-location dental practice network offering general, restorative, and emergency services. Comparable to Riviera in service mix and emphasis on patient accessibility and insurance acceptance, though operating at much larger scale.
• Dentalcorp Holdings: Canada's largest dental practice network, supporting general and specialty dentistry across multiple provinces. Comparable as a Canadian dental services operator, but operates at vastly larger scale than Riviera's single-location practice.
• 123Dentist: Large Canadian dental group practice network offering general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry. Comparable to Riviera in service mix and Canadian DTC dental focus, but operates a multi-clinic network rather than a single storefront.
• Pacific Dental Services: US-based dental support organization enabling modern, technology-forward general practices. Comparable to Riviera's investment in modern dental technology (iTero, digital imaging) and broad general/cosmetic service offering.
• Altima Dental: Multi-location Canadian dental group providing general and specialty dental services. Comparable to Riviera in offering a broad general/cosmetic/restorative menu to Canadian patients, but at greater geographic scale.

Direct peers

• Dental Choice: Western Canadian dental group practice operating family and cosmetic dentistry clinics. Closely comparable to Riviera in target market (BC/Canadian families), service scope, and group practice operating model.

Regional players

• Brightside Dental: Canadian dental clinic group focused on accessible, family-oriented general dentistry. Comparable to Riviera in patient experience emphasis and Canadian family-targeting, but operates in different regions.
• Viva Dental: Western Canadian independent dental practice offering general and cosmetic services. Comparable to Riviera in serving Canadian families with a similar general/restorative/cosmetic menu, but in a different local market.

Emerging players

• Smiles Dental Group: Smaller Canadian dental group practice with multi-dentist locations offering general and cosmetic care. Comparable to Riviera as a multi-dentist, multi-service independent dental practice model.
