Meet Dr. Vaida

In 2021, Dr. Vaida marked more than three decades of experience in the field of dentistry.


For some people, finding their professional calling takes years of exploration. For Dr. Vaida, dentistry was a natural path from the beginning. Drawn to the precision, technical skill, and problem-solving involved in oral health care, he first entered the field as a dental technician.


That early experience gave him seven years of valuable hands-on knowledge and a strong technical foundation.


Over time, Dr. Vaida realized he wanted to serve patients in a more direct and personal way, combining his clinical interests with his compassionate nature and strong communication skills. Becoming a dentist was the next natural step.


After earning his dental degree from the University of Toronto, Dr. Vaida continued to expand his knowledge through advanced postgraduate training in several areas of dentistry, including aesthetic dentistry, implantology, endodontics, and orthodontics.


Today, he brings together technical expertise, clinical precision, and a calm, reassuring chairside manner to support patients at Altitude Dental.


Dr. Vaida is experienced in a wide range of dental procedures, from delicate cosmetic treatments such as aesthetic veneers to full porcelain crowns completed in a single visit. His approach is thoughtful, detail-oriented, and focused on helping patients feel informed, comfortable, and confident in their care.


Known for his warm and reassuring manner, Dr. Vaida is committed to building trust with every patient he sees.


Dr. Vaida welcomes you to Altitude Dental and looks forward to supporting your dental health for many years to come. When choosing a dentist, trust, experience, and skill matter.


With Dr. Vaida, patients can feel confident they are receiving care from a dedicated professional who strives to do the best possible job every time.
