Long-time Byron Dentist Dr. Mark Richardson Expands His Practice Byron residents, and even former Byron residents, have been visiting Dr. Mark Richardson for their dental since he established his practice upon graduation from UWO. His practise is the longest residing tenant of his building at 1283 Commissioners Road. And now he’s expanding the office’s footprint by adding the former Subway space next door. Dr Richardson and his warm, friendly team are excited about the expansion as this will increase their clinical capacity to welcome the increasing demand for people to become new patients and maintain the same high quality of care in a positive, friendly atmosphere. Dr. Richardson has deep roots in the community. His parents were founding members of the London Ski Club. His father built a home in Oakridge in 1960 and the family moved there. Dr. Richardson now treats some of his former classmates and teachers from Oakridge High School. He lived in Byron while attending the University of Western Ontario and remained in Byron upon graduation. “It’s home. My first home was in Byron. I still live in Byron. It’s a strong community that still feels like a village.” Patients continue to return to Byron for their dental appointments even after moving away. “I’m grateful and honoured for the privilege of serving the residents of this community. In my office they’re people, not just patients.” Now, he sees three generations of Byron families, from grandparents to grandchildren. He enjoys the opportunity to get to know his patients so he can give them personalized care. That includes everything from hand-picking a hygienist for them to knowing whether they’re a morning or afternoon person. Seeing a patient over many years provides continuity of care, something that people appreciate. Expanding into the space next door will double the floor space. This will allow Dr. Richardson to add more dental chairs, include a private room for consultations, minimize wait times and accommodate same-day emergencies. Dr. Richardson and his team take a holistic approach to dentistry. The condition of a patient’s mouth can reveal a lot about their overall health and expose specific issues with

immune function, breathing quality and more. If needed, patients can learn about any health concerns and how to avoid a recurrence. The dental team focuses on prevention as well as treatment, with a holistic approach to dentistry. A comprehensive oral and head-neck exam can reveal solutions that can promote oral as well as general whole-body wellness. In addition to the sense of family that exists among staff and with his patients, Dr. Richardson’s practise truly is a family affair. His wife Cynthia has extensive experience in health care including an education in dental nursing. She’s Executive Officer of the practise. They’re an energetic couple that loves to golf together and play and cuddle with their three pups, Louis, Georgio and Gucci. The newly expanded Dr. Mark Richardson Dental is expected to be complete in the spring.
