Your Family Deserves a Dental Home in Barrie
Finding the right family dentist in Barrie is one of the most important decisions you can make for your household's long-term health. At Lakeside Smiles Dentistry, we believe every member of your family — from toddlers getting their first checkup to grandparents maintaining their smiles — deserves compassionate, modern dental care in a space that feels genuinely welcoming.
Opening August 2026 at 66 Dunlop St W in the heart of Downtown Barrie, Lakeside Smiles Dentistry was designed from the ground up with families in mind. Dr. Romy Pabla, a graduate of the NYU College of Dentistry, brings a patient-first philosophy to every appointment. Her goal is simple: make dental care something your family looks forward to, not dreads.
What Makes a Great Family Dentist?
A great family dentist isn't just technically skilled — they build lasting relationships. They remember that your son was nervous last visit and make extra time to help him feel at ease. They notice that your teenager's wisdom teeth are starting to shift and flag it early. They make your elderly parent feel respected and heard, not rushed.
At Lakeside Smiles, we offer all of this under one roof. You don't need separate appointments at different offices for your kids, yourself, and your parents. We handle the full spectrum of family dental care:
- Infant and toddler first dental visits
- Children's cleanings, sealants, and fluoride treatments
- Teen orthodontic monitoring and wisdom tooth assessments
- Adult preventive care, fillings, and cosmetic treatments
- Senior dental care including crowns, bridges, and dentures
- Anxiety-friendly appointments for nervous patients of all ages
Why Barrie Families Will Feel at Home at Lakeside Smiles
Barrie is a growing city with a strong sense of community, and Lakeside Smiles Dentistry was built to be part of that community. Located steps from Barrie's beautiful waterfront on Dunlop St W, our clinic combines the calm of the outdoors with modern dental technology and a warm, unhurried atmosphere.
After completing her dental training at NYU College of Dentistry, Dr. Pabla returned to Ontario with a vision for calm, relationship-based family care. She takes particular pride in working with children and anxious patients, believing that a positive early experience with the dentist shapes a lifetime of good oral health habits.

The Canadian Dental Association recommends a child's first dental visit within 6 months of their first tooth appearing, or by age one — whichever comes first. Early visits help children get comfortable with the dental environment and allow us to catch any issues before they develop. Learn more on our Child's First Dental Visit page.
Most patients benefit from checkups and cleanings every 6 months. However, some family members — particularly children, seniors, or those prone to cavities or gum disease — may benefit from more frequent visits. Dr. Pabla will recommend a schedule tailored to each family member's needs. Read more about how often you should get a dental cleaning.
