About Us
At Your Doorstep
Dr. Martin Reiss
I’m Dr. Martin Reiss, Some people call me Doc Martin (not to be confused with the shoe-maker). I’m a smile maker. I became a dentist because well I’m a nerd. I embraced the nerd at McMaster University where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and then at the University of Western Ontario where I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and was honored with the Dr. Sam Ioannidis Memorial Award in Restorative Dentistry Schulich Dentistry Prize for Professionalism and Ethics and the award in Oral Medicine.
A different way to phrase all of that would be that I’m a life-long learner. Choosing a career in dentistry has allowed me to continue learning not only by staying on top of the latest techniques but it has helped me get to know people. As your dentist I want to learn from you.
During one of my dental outreach experiences in Nicaragua I was faced with the challenge of providing care with a language barrier. That is where I learned that communication is at the core of every healthy smile. I strive to provide a comfortable professional environment where you can share your concerns without judgement. What are your smile goals? How can I help? I will work with you every step of the way; whether it’s maintaining your oral health or transforming your smile.
That’s my new kind of dentistry.

Dr. Christopher Chan
I received my Doctor of Dental Surgery at the university of Western Ontario and was awarded the Quintessence Award for Restorative Dentistry. Always looking to improve, I have invested in many hours of continuing education to create and maintain a confident smile. As a result, I’ve realized that by placing your teeth in proper position, we can find a better harmony for the forces directed on your teeth so they don’t break down as easily. This in addition to restoring your teeth, allows us to maintain your smile for many more years to come. Invisalign is one of the most popular ways my patients choose to correct their teeth alignment.
With the advances in technology, we have more tools that we can use to achieve that goal. We are able to digitally scan your teeth to not only look for problems but also digitally plan how to improve your smile. I specialize in Itero digital scans!
Giving back has always been a priority and I have had the privilege to participate in several volunteer organizations over the years, including BMDMI in Honduras to provide dental care to remote areas as a volunteer dentist one year and as the volunteer dental team captain for another year. I have volunteered with Rahab Ministries for their medical clinic outreach. Inspired by the DOCs program at Schulich Dentistry, I am a board member of Filling the Gap Dental Outreach which seeks to provide urgent dental care to low income, uninsured adults in Toronto.
