Dental care for the whole family
Prevent
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
We take preventive oral health very seriously and work with you to create an oral health plan specific to you. Your first dental hygiene appointment will take longer than an average appointment, even if you are diligent in maintaining your oral health. It’s important for us to get to know you, including everything about your teeth, gums, and smile.
Restore
Oral health is body health
At Longworth Dental Bowmanville, we understand that restoring your smile goes beyond aesthetics. It's about improving your overall health and quality of life. Our restorative treatments are designed to repair and enhance the function and appearance of your teeth and gums. From simple fillings to complex crowns and bridges, we use the latest techniques and highest quality materials to ensure the best outcomes.
Design
Your smile, your vision
We believe that cosmetic dentistry is an art that requires a detailed understanding of your unique facial features and aesthetic desires. Our cosmetic treatments are not just about transforming smiles. They're about enhancing your enjoyment and confidence. Whether you're interested in teeth whitening, veneers, or a complete smile makeover, we tailor each treatment plan to reflect your personal style and goals.

What patients are saying
My daughter just had her first root canal done by Dr. Z and she had the most incredible experience.
Every single staff member there made her feel totally comfortable and at ease with the entire experience! They did everything they could to make sure she was ok and comfy with everything they did.
We love this dentist office! :)Paige ThompsonGoogle Review
My wife and I have been patients at Longworth Bowmanville Dental for ten years.
We recently moved to the new Courtice clinic as it is closer to home. Our first experience at Longworth Courtice was every bit as professional, helpful and welcoming as our years at Bowmanville. The Barr's ensure they staff their clinics with professional, customer service oriented individuals in all aspects of their operation.
Top notch service, top notch people. A big thank you!!Jim NorwoodGoogle Review

Definitely suggest this place to family and friends!Kartik PalemGoogle Review
I have been a client since last December.
I met with the owner when I first signed up and it was an amazing introduction and onboarding. They were very understanding of my fear of dentists due to past experiences and they really went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with the procedures. When I got my wisdom teeth removed, they made sure I was okay and checked in with me to make sure I was healing properly and feeling okay.
They completely changed my feelings towards 'the dentist' and I couldn't be happier, thank you team!! ❤️Viviana GalanGoogle Review
So glad my family and I made the switch to LW dental.
They've been very accommodating, professional and provided excellent service each time!Marissa TahalGoogle Review
