Neighbourhood & Location GuidesCarlingwood Dentist: A Local Guide to Dental Care in Ottawa's West End

Your Dentist Near Carlingwood
Carlingwood is one of Ottawa's west-end anchors - the mall, the shops along Carling Avenue, and the established residential streets that surround them. It's a part of town where a lot of daily life already happens, so it makes sense to have your dentist here too. BluSky Dental Richardson, on Richardson Avenue near Carlingwood Mall and led by Dr. Simi Silver, is your neighbourhood Ottawa dentist for the area.
This guide covers how to reach us, the care we offer, and why a local, full-service clinic makes life simpler - and you can also see our Carlingwood page for a quick overview.
Pair Your Checkup with a Trip to Carlingwood
Our clinic at 510 Richardson Ave sits just off the Carlingwood shopping area, so it's easy to combine a dental visit with the errands you're already running. You can reach us from Carling Avenue, Richmond Road, or Woodroffe Avenue, and there's on-site parking that makes family drop-offs simple. OC Transpo routes serve the Carlingwood area with connections to Richardson Avenue for anyone travelling by bus.
Comprehensive Care for West-End Families
A neighbourhood clinic should handle the whole family, and ours does. Our family dentistry welcomes every age, from a child's first visit to senior care, with a gentle, unhurried approach. Booking parents and kids together means one trip instead of several - a real time-saver for busy households.
Cosmetic, Restorative & Emergency Care
Beyond routine cleanings and exams, we offer the full range of care under one roof. Our cosmetic services - whitening, veneers, Invisalign, and bonding - brighten and refine your smile, while restorative options such as crowns, bridges, and fillings repair damaged teeth. When a dental emergency happens, we provide same-day appointments, and sedation options keep anxious patients comfortable.
Serving Carlingwood & Ottawa West
Our Richardson location is convenient for residents across the west end - Britannia Heights, Lincoln Heights, White Haven, Glabar Park, and the streets around Carlingwood itself. Wherever in the area you live, you'll find a welcoming practice close to home.
A Familiar, Experienced Team
The Richardson clinic is led by Dr. Simi Silver and is part of the wider BluSky Dental practice founded by Dr. Mark McCullough more than 25 years ago. We pair experienced clinicians with modern technology - digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and advanced diagnostics - for precise, comfortable care, and our team collectively speaks more than 18 languages. We also direct bill most insurance plans to keep things simple.
New Patients Welcome
We're always accepting new patients from Carlingwood and the surrounding west end. Complete your new patient forms online ahead of time, and your first visit includes a thorough exam, any needed X-rays, a conversation about your goals, and clear recommendations with an estimate before anything begins.
