About Alta Vista Dental Clinic
Alta Vista Dental Clinic is a dental practice on Evans Boulevard in the Alta Vista area of Ottawa, Ontario. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.
A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.
Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.
A crown covers an entire damaged tooth — used when too much structure is missing for a filling to hold reliably, whether from a large fracture, extensive decay, or after root canal treatment. It restores both the shape and the biting strength of the tooth underneath.
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to crowns placed on the teeth either side of the gap, creating a fixed replacement rather than a removable one. It is a longstanding alternative to an implant, particularly when the neighbouring teeth already need crowns.

always Excellent Service from Everyone at Alta Vista Dental Clinic. Dr Marina Polonski is amazing. I have been going there for over 30 years.
Dr. Marina Polonsky is professional, cordial and fast. Every time I visit, I am treated promptly and everything is done quickly and well. Laser dentistry is used to make the treatment as effective and painless as possible. Further, the dental hygienists and staff are friendly and professional. Everything is done promptly and well.
Great service. Marina Polonsky and the rest of the staff are friendly and competent. One of the few dentists who does laser dentistry.
I had a wonderful experience at the Alta Vista Dental Clinic.... Starting from dental receptionist to the dental hygienist…very good job on my teeth and kept me smiling!
Great service! Always fast, accurate and almost painless (that essential for parents)! No unnecessary treatments!
Have been a client here for decades. The team is polite, professional, appointments always start on time, and the service given is always top notch. Dr Marina Polonsky and the team are highly skilled professionals.
I have been going to Marina for 26 years. She is a caring dentist who does her best to fit you in when ever you need her. She is patient and takes the time to explain procedures and offers good advice for after care. Thank you Marina and staff!
I'm a new patient at this clinic. I arrived on time and got my treatment in short time. I was highly impressesd with by Laser technology used at the clinic for drilling my wisdom tooth. In total, great experience. I recommend them to all interested in new technologies of drilling by Laser.
Had dental surgery today. Dr. Marina Polonsky and her assistant Cecilia were absolutely fantastic. Dr. Polonsky was careful, quick, competent, friendly and professional. Based on some of the questions I asked, I learned of Dr. Polonsky's volunteer work where she travels to third world countries to offer her dentistry skills. It was interesting to hear that she performs dental work in hot areas, sometimes churches, sometimes arenas - where there is no air conditioning. I came to Dr. Polonsky on a recommendation from a close friend. I cancelled with the other dental surgeon based on the strong positive and encouraging recommendation from my friend who I trust. --Very glad to have taken the advice. If you're looking for a dentist, consider Dr. Polonsky a 2-for-1 deal: 1. You get fantastic care; and, 2. You're supporting a dentist who goes above and beyond and has a heart for less fortunate individuals. Thank you Dr. Polonsky and team.
I have been a client of this clinic for many years. Dr. Polonski and her team are excellent. My last cleaning was with Laurie. She was on time, did a great job and I am looking forward to being her client for a long time.
