About Third Street Dental
Third Street Dental operates on 3rd Street West in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Cosmetic treatment is generally the least invasive branch of dentistry, built around changing how teeth look rather than fixing something broken. Whitening and bonding sit at the lighter end; veneers and reshaping involve more planning. Most cosmetic dental insurance excludes this kind of work, since it is elective rather than medically necessary.
General dentistry covers the routine and restorative care most people need most often — examinations, cleanings, fillings, and preventive checks that catch problems while they are still small and inexpensive to treat. Regular attendance, roughly every six months for most patients, is what makes that early-catch approach actually work.
Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.
Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

I went into the dentist today after not going in 5.5years!! I had an extremely positive experience. Makayla was my dental hygienist her personality & positive direction made the dental visit way better as I’m an incredibly anxious person when it comes to tools in my mouth to say the least . Thank you kindly Makayla and third street dental for the cleaning today !
Friendly, professional staff. Very knowledgeable
Over charge and Be careful do the job very slowly so make them more money cleaning my tooth 4 days….2 days up and 2 days down I go to other dentist and they did 1 hour clean up only
Once again I have had a fantastic experience at Dr Skinners clinic. Not only is she very competent, she has a lovely calming personality, as does her wonderful hygienist Aleigh. She has loads of patience and a very soft and gentle touch. Thank you both!
Today Dr. Skinner finalized the installation of a tooth implant. As mentioned in a previous review the entire experience at Third Street Dental is exceptional with everyone demonstrating optimal interpersonal styles. It is just a warm and friendly place! Dr. Skinner is thorough and showcases a level of competency that we all hope to expect from a medical professional. I particularly like how she explains her actions before execution and invites questions or concerns. Oh yes! I’ve just eaten an apple and my new tooth felt like it had always been there. Always the grateful patient! Bill
This was possibly one of the best dental experiences I have ever had at a dentist office. From booking the appointment to the interaction with both hygienist and dentist, I was so happy. Naz at the front desk was very welcoming and efficient. She scheduled me in for a cleaning when she noticed a spot available and took care of any questions I have. This was my first time at a dentist in years and I was very anxious and scared. Dr. Skinner put me completely at ease and was very calming and accommodating of my fears. My hygienist Christine was AMAZING! She took such great care of me and was again very calming and mindful of my fears. I would recommend this office to anyone who has anxiety/fears of the dentist or just wants excellent service. Can't say thanks enough!
Dr. Skinner is the best! I brought my very shy toddler in to see her and she was able to sit on my lap and have this fun "intro" to the dentist. She was able to sit still and wasn't scared. She's an excellent dentist and great with kids. She is professional and warm-hearted. I would recommend her to anyone.
