Our Patients Say it all for Us 

Dr. Jaina and the entire crew are amazing! They go above and beyond to make patients feel comfortable, especially those that are afraid of the dentist! I was worried about finding a new dentist in North Vancouver but after my first visit, it was a no-brainer: Infinity Dental is it!!!


Christina Steklin

Dr. Josh and his team are the best! My daughter came in for 3 wisdom teeth and a few fillings. Dr. Josh was extremely friendly and gentle, answered all of her questions, and put her at ease. The team made sure she was very comfortable and regularly checked in with how she was feeling. The procedure went through smoothly and we expect a quick recovery. Thank you for making this a pleasant experience!
