When I first stepped into the beautiful East Coast Dental Centre (ECDC) office on Willow Street in Downtown Truro, Nova Scotia to interview Dr. Mohamed Al-Janabi, I was hoping for the complete tour – and I wasn’t disappointed. It’s an expansive space – over 6,500 square feet – with a gorgeous modern vibe. It certainly doesn’t feel like your average dental office. When I pointed this out, Dr. Al-Janabi said, “ECDC was designed with our patients in mind and we took into consideration every step of the patient journey.” This couldn’t be truer. The bistro bar adjacent to the waiting area is stocked with free snacks and refreshments for patients and guests. And the diversions don’t end there. There are even flat-screen TVs and desktop computers for patients and guests to enjoy. Even the recovery room is cozy with its lounge chairs, blankets, and large fireplace. ECDC really does have all the comforts of home. But as Dr. Al-Janabi pointed out, the on-site dental lab, Smile House, situated in the heart of ECDC is the real story. “Without this lab located onsite, we wouldn’t be able to do all the amazing things we do here every day for our patients,” he said.
