The Face of Dentistry: Dr. Dhaval Admar

Dr. Dhaval Admar melds art and science to create gorgeous smiles.

“Actually, I consider myself an artist before a dentist,” says Dr. Dhaval with a laugh.

“Cosmetic dentistry is the perfect combination of art and science. The artistry and care that goes into dentistry to create and maintain beautiful and long-lasting smiles inspires me every single day.”

Of course, that artistry can be helped along by state-of-the-art technology.

For instance, the porcelain veneers Dr. Dhaval creates for patients are like a fashion statement.

They are hand-designed and custom-made, unique to each patient’s face.

Before veneers are created, technology is used to provide a virtual ‘smile design’ and a ‘test drive’ of what the final smile will look like before treatment commences.

“Patients are the co-author of their smile,” says Dr. Dhaval with a smile.

“It is like custom-styled clothing tailored by the master artist.”

Technology also allows Dr. Dhaval to craft same-day crowns for patients.

“That means patients get their emergency taken care of the same day, no two appointments necessary,” says the dentist.

Speaking of crowns, the headwear-of-kings-and-queens imagery abounds at Empire Dental.

A sparkling crown logo graces all of Empire Dental’s signage, paperwork and online presence and, of course, the company’s name is inspired by royalty.

“Behind the name Empire Dental is a brilliance and cosmetic artistry and an amazing caring staff,” says Dr. Dhaval.

“When I create those beautiful smiles, it changes a patient’s confidence and their life. I feel deep satisfaction. That fulfillment attracted me to become a dentist.

Dr. Dhaval and Empire Dental are also experts at general dentistry, dental implants and Invisalign braces.

“Our vision is to bring world-class dentistry to Kamloops and keep patient care at the highest level,” he says.

“More importantly, we have a very skilled and compassionate team which goes above and beyond to make our patients feel wonderful from the moment they walk in. Our patients’ needs and wants are our top-most priority. We are here to listen to their goals and dreams and help them achieve it with our excellent dentistry. We create relationships with our patients to know their desires and goals for better oral health.”

Dr. Dhaval earned his Bachelor of Dental Science in India before moving to Canada to secure his Doctor of Dental Surgery certificate.

“The dual process made my knowledge and passion for dentistry even stronger,” he says.

Dr. Dhaval has also studied with well-known dental researchers Dr. Pascal Magne and Dr. John Kois.

“I was fortunate to learn modern-era dentistry from outstanding mentors,” he says.

“I also keep learning new technologies by taking hundreds of hours of continuing education to provide our patients with the latest and greatest.”
