DENTIST IN COQUITLAM
If you are looking for a dentist in Coquitlam, you want a clinic that is easy to reach, clear about treatment, and calm to visit. Altitude Dental is at 3001 Gordon Ave #204, less than 1 km south-east of Coquitlam Centre and about 2 km south of Lafarge Lake.
We welcome new patients from across Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities. At your visit, we listen first. We explain what we see, talk through your options, and agree on next steps before treatment starts. No pressure, and no surprises about the plan.
Whether you need a routine checkup, care for a sore tooth, or a plan to improve your smile, our team can help you start in one place. You can book an appointment online or call us at (604) 944-0100.
Care that feels personal. Every patient deserves care that feels calm, personal, and trustworthy. We take time to understand your concerns, your health history, and what matters to you.
Clear communication. We use plain words. We show you what we find, explain why treatment is recommended, and outline the order that makes sense. Urgent items come first. Items that can safely wait are watched.
Gentle approach. Many patients feel nervous about dental visits. Tell us if you feel sensitive or anxious. We can adjust the pace and discuss comfort options before treatment begins. Learn more about oral conscious sedation.
One clinic for the family. Parents, children, and grandparents can be cared for in one place, with one record and one team. See our care for young patients under children's dentistry.
Help with coverage questions. We work with many dental insurance plans and accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan. Our insurance and billing page explains what to check before your visit, and our team will review your options with you before treatment begins.
Hours that fit real schedules. The clinic is open Wednesday and Thursday into the evening, until 8:00 pm, and on Friday during the day. One Saturday a month is also available. Monday and Tuesday are administrative hours.

Care at Altitude Dental is led by Dr. Daniel Vaida. Dr. Vaida has over 30 years of dental experience. He began his career as a dental technician, gaining seven years of hands-on experience, before earning his dental degree from the University of Toronto.
He has since completed advanced training in aesthetic dentistry, implantology, endodontics, and orthodontics, and has been an Invisalign provider since 2008. Patients know him for his precision, his calm manner, and for taking time to explain care so they feel informed and confident.
