Hi, I’m Jess
(I’m the one who will be checking your teeth, holding back your tongue with a mirror and helping you smile your best smile.)
Even before I became a dentist, I always loved being a part of Sarnia’s tight-knit local community. And it’s that small-town sense of togetherness, friendship and willingness to go the extra mile that I want to bring to my practice.
Sure, I want to make sure that you and your teeth are as healthy as they can be. But, to me, you’re more than just a set of teeth.
That’s why we make sure that when you come to our office, you’re not just coming for a check-up or procedure, you’re stopping by to see friends. (Albeit, a group of friends that know a lot about your teeth…)
We can’t wait to see you.
(There’s nothing worse than waiting to see a dentist when you’ve got a
toothache. If you’re in pain, just give us a call and we’ll make sure that we see you today, even if you’re not registered with us yet.)
What We Do
Putting the smile back
on your face
Going to the dentist can be an intimidating experience for people of all ages.
That’s why we go to every effort to make you feel as
relaxed as possible from the moment you step into
our practice.
But we also know that, sometimes, a friendly smile and
a catch-up isn’t enough to shake off the jitters.
Sometimes, you need your dentist to go the extra mile. You need your dentist to get to know what helps you (and your children) relax so they can prepare the room, tweak the environment and adjust their approach to make you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
So that’s what we do.
Call us optimistic, but we hope that this way – eventually – everybody will enjoy coming to the dentist.
Taking the time for everybody
We’re also very proud of our dedication to providing the community of Sarnia with access to dental care that takes the time to get to know them, understand their needs and give them the best treatment possible.
This doesn’t just mean providing cleaning and regular treatments for the people of Sarnia so they don’t have to drive all the way to London, but going the extra mile to cater for those with special needs.
Dr Jess is also responsible for bringing a chapter of Sharing Smiles – an organisation dedicated to advocating, educating and improving the standard of oral health care for people with special needs – to the area.
So if you – or somebody you care for – has special needs and would like to see a dentist that takes the time to get to know you, fully understand your condition and do anything they can to make you comfortable and at-home, then give us a call.
About Jess and her team
Dr Jess Bourassa is, in many ways, a dentist’s worst nightmare: she loves pop and candy. (But she says that her glowing whites are a testament to her ‘prevention first’ approach.)
Jess graduated from the University of Toronto and headed back to her hometown to practice dentistry. A few years later, she opened her own practice just down the hall from her twin sister, Dr. Vanessa Curran. (This has been more than a little confusing for some of her patients!)
Jess couldn’t be happier with her team, either.
She really couldn’t ask for better hygienists and dental assistants than Kelli, Jennifer, Linda and Laura.
We couldn’t be easier to find
Our office is Northern Family and Cosmetic Dental Centre on the corner of Indian Road and Michigan Road in Sarnia, Ontario. Once you get here, just head down the stairs to the lower level. (Just make sure you head towards the right twin’s office.)
(And remember, if it’s an emergency, don’t hesitate to give us a call. We guarantee to fit you in today – we know there’s nothing worse than waiting to see the dentist when you’ve got a toothache!)
