What we offer
Ten dental services under one roof
From routine cleanings to crowns, root canals and whitening, we handle your family’s dental care in one place. No prices are listed here because every treatment plan is built around the individual patient.
Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation for patients who feel anxious about dental work. You stay awake but calm throughout, and the nitrous is flushed with oxygen at the end.
Nervous about the dentist? You are not alone.
We offer laughing gas during treatment and oral conscious sedation for bigger appointments, so you can get the care you need while staying calm and awake.
See how sedation worksComposite Restorations
Tooth-colored composite repairs cavities, chips, and fractures. Done in a single appointment under local anesthesia, and matched to the shade of your tooth.
Dental Bridges
A fixed appliance that replaces missing teeth. Two crowns anchor onto the neighbouring teeth with artificial teeth bridging the gap.
Dental Crowns
Porcelain or composite caps placed over implants, to protect a vulnerable tooth, or where a filling is no longer enough to restore it.
Dental Extractions
Removal of badly damaged teeth and wisdom teeth. We provide the medications and care to keep the experience comfortable and pain-free.
Dentures
Removable plastic or porcelain replacement teeth, custom-fitted to sit comfortably on your gums and restore your bite and smile.
Night & Sports Guards
Custom-fitted guards for teeth grinding (bruxism) and for contact sports. Made to your teeth, not bought off the shelf.
Oral Hygiene
Hands-on guidance on plaque control, brushing technique, and flossing, plus what to watch for so you can keep your teeth healthy at home.
Root Canal Therapy
Cleans and disinfects an infected root so the tooth can be saved rather than removed. Sealed and capped with a crown for lasting protection.
Teeth Whitening
In-office bleaching or custom take-home trays, with over a 90% success rate. The dentist checks that whitening is suitable for you first.
About the practice
A family practice built around you, not a schedule
Sherwood Dental has cared for families in Kitchener and Waterloo from Krug Street Plaza for years. Everyone gets their own treatment plan, so no one gets shuffled through. Patients mention Dr. Josh by name for taking the time to explain things clearly, before and after treatment.
Direct insurance billing means you fill out one form and leave. For major work, ask about interest-free payment arrangements.
- Direct insurance billing, we handle the paperwork
- Digital X-rays and fully paperless records
- Wheelchair accessible, with parking in Krug Plaza
- Student dental plans accepted (UW, Laurier, Conestoga)
Modern tools, careful hands
The office runs on current technology and a strict sterilization routine.
Digital X-rays
Lower radiation than film and computer-aided diagnosis, so problems are spotted earlier.
Intraoral cameras
You see what the dentist sees on a chairside screen, so treatment is easy to understand.
Fully paperless
Paperless records and patient education screens at every chair keep your visit smooth.
Careful sterilization
Meets or exceeds CCOHS and CDC guidelines: disposables are discarded, everything else is sterilized, and surfaces are wiped with ODA-approved disinfectants.

Sherwood Dental truly goes above and beyond. The team is professional, patient, and very knowledgeable. They take the time to explain procedures and answer questions without making you feel rushed. I especially appreciate how gentle and thorough they are during cleanings. The atmosphere is welcoming and calming, which makes a big difference. I'm so glad I found this office!
I had a great experience. Dr Josh took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all my questions. He was gentle and thorough as he explained the procedure before as well as after the treatment. The staff were professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone looking for quality dental care.
My family has been going to Sherwood Dental for many many years and couldn't be happier with them. The staff, dental hygienists, and dentists are so kind, welcoming and very gentle. We are happy.
Everyone at Sherwood dental is very helpful and calm. Dr. Josh is a great dentist. We are so thankful for his treatment today for our family member.
Had a pleasure of visiting sherwood dental for some dental works for me and my family. Dentist was very knowledgeable and all the other staff were helpful, from assistants to admin staff. Will definitely be going back for all our future needs.
