Centenary Plaza Dental Office
A lot has changed since I purchased my dental practice in 1986-we've grown, had children, put in computers, upgraded our equipment and our training. Through it all, though, we've never lost our sense of humour or the warmth and intimate feel of a country practice in the city. Our Scarborough dental clinic balances modern technology with warm and friendly care.

When you visit us you'll have a chance to discuss your concerns with a compassionate dentist who values continuing education. Whether working with children-who need help to develop good oral health habits-or long-time patients, we always focus on quality of care over speed. We understand that having a beautiful smile can dramatically improve your self-esteem, and our team will gladly educate you about your treatment options.
Services
For the past 30 years, our team has been working hard to make dental care as gentle, comfortable and fun as possible. We love what we do, and it shows in the quality of our work and the bonds we have with our patients-including some who've been with us from the very start. Most of our patients even visit our office from outside the Scarborough area.
At Dr. Ron Richardson & Associates, we believe you should have a smile you can be proud of. Our highly trained team has the experience and expertise to help you achieve that-whether you're looking for general dentistry services, or more specialized care such as TMJ or sleep apnea solutions. When you visit our dental clinic in Scarborough, we will take the time to guide you through your options and answer any questions.
My team has grown accustomed to being a part of a family that listens to the patient and works to deliver a positive experience in a warm and caring environment. I purchased my practice in 1986 and decided that I wanted to make a country practice in the city. I was then lucky enough to attract staff that were from small towns themselves.
From entering and greeted by big smiles to relaxed cleaning experience, it is not often that one would reckon looking forward to the next appointment! I always have a fantastic time when I go see the good doctor. He is always so happy and it's nice to know that he genuinely cares about me and how I'm doing, not only regarding my teeth but life in general.
Your child's early experiences at the dentist can help shape the future of his or her oral health. If you're looking for a caring, compassionate dentist in Scarborough, ON who caters to children, look no further than Dr. Ron Richardson & Associates. We're pleased to offer comprehensive pediatric dentistry services in a warm, comfortable office setting.

Always great coming to Dr. Ron's office. My gum health and teeth improve with every visit because they actually care about their patients. I travel all the way from Ajax for my appointments btw!

Nevermind the medical work done. The front office people are fantastic. So nice to come in to welcoming faces and pleasant interaction. It makes such a difference as opposed to what I get at other medical offices. I know they're overworked but dr Ron's people don't put their stress on you. Look forward to see you next time.

What can I say, Dr. Richardson is the best Dentist in the universe. Dr. Richardson has been my dentist for 20 years now, he continues to make me laugh all these years with only his humour not laughing gas haha! Dr. Richardson is very thorough and truly cares about each and every single one of his patients. Dr. Richardson’s dental office has amazing core values and he continues to share his wisdom and knowledge through his associates and fellow dentists. I love when I get my cleanings and checkups. I always leave the office feeling refreshed. Thank you Dr. Richardson & Associates. ❤️

I was impressed from the moment I made the call to get an appointment. Alma was so excellent and knowledgeable. She put me at ease right away.
Once I got to the office I met her and Heather and Afroza. They are tip top professionals and I feel trust and confidence in their presence.
Dr. Richardson is a highly competent professional. His teaching style is engaging, he is gentle and kind. I felt respected, he listened to me, his advice is worth gold and I will follow it.

Their computers were down during my visit, so please take that into consideration:

- visited Dr. Ron Richardson's clinic for a sore tooth
- computers and x-rays were down
- I waited 45 minutes while filling out the questionnaire forms for 2nd time
- after a short exam (estimate around 2 minutes, no longer than 5), I was charged $133 for the visit and told I need a root canal, performed at another clinic
- at the other clinic, an x-ray was taken, the endodontologist examined my tooth and concluded that a root canal cannot be done, have to go to another clinic for tooth extraction
- I asked

I just had my first consultation with Dr. Richardson, and I was very impressed! He's positive, fun, and caring. He gave me a really in-depth explanation of what's going on with my teeth. With dentists in the past, I didn't get a full understanding of the issues as well as a look at detailed X-Rays and charts. The other staff were also super nice! I'm actually looking forward to going back.

In the past I haven't enjoyed going to the dentist--because who does? But I actually ENJOY going to the dentist here, because the atmosphere is so friendly.

Dr. Richardson always seems to be extra-thorough, and explain everything really well to me, which I appreciate. He'll also make you laugh and smile, and he seems to be good friends with all his staff, which is so nice.

His staff seems good, too, although make sure to ask if all the X-rays they try to take are necessary, because that's just a good policy for going to a dentist.
