About Mount Pleasant Dental Group
Mount Pleasant Dental Group has been caring for smiles in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant community since 1992. Learn more about our practice below.
Your Dental Team in Mount Pleasant Since 1992
Mount Pleasant Dental Group has been caring for smiles in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant community since 1992. Located at 611 East Broadway, just west of Fraser Street, our practice brings together an experienced team of dentists and dental professionals committed to providing personalized care for patients with a wide range of oral health needs.
Led by Dr. Vinay Dhir, our team believes good dentistry starts with understanding the person behind the smile. Whether you’re visiting for preventive care, restorative treatment, cosmetic dentistry, an unexpected dental concern, or you’re interested in biological dentistry, we want you to feel informed and comfortable with the care you receive.
A Longstanding Part of the Mount Pleasant Community
For more than three decades, Mount Pleasant Dental Group has served patients from Mount Pleasant and surrounding Vancouver neighbourhoods.
Our practice is located at Broadway and Carolina Street, one block west of Fraser Street and conveniently located for patients coming from Main Street, Fraser Street, and other parts of East Vancouver.
While dentistry has changed significantly since our doors first opened in 1992, our focus remains on providing thoughtful, individualized care and building lasting relationships with the people and families we serve.
Our Philosophy: People Come First
We believe treatment decisions should begin with your oral health needs—not simply what a dental plan will or won’t cover.
Our dentists take the time to understand your concerns, assess your oral health, and explain the treatment options available to you. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make informed decisions about your care.
That philosophy extends to the relationships we build with our patients. Dr. Maxim Bondarenko describes building relationships as one of the most rewarding parts of treating his patients, while practice owner Dr. Vinay Dhir emphasizes providing personalized care.
For us, dentistry isn’t only about treating teeth. It’s about caring for the people who trust us with their oral health.
Comprehensive Dentistry Under One Roof
Every smile is different, and dental needs can change throughout your life. That’s why Mount Pleasant Dental Group provides a broad range of dental services from our East Broadway practice.
Our services include family and children’s dentistry, preventive care, oral health examinations and X-rays, restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, emergency dental care, dental implants, root canal therapy, sedation dentistry, orthodontics, laser dentistry, and biological dentistry.
Having a broad range of services available within one practice allows patients and families to establish an ongoing relationship with a dental team that can help address many of their oral health needs over time.
Biological Dentistry in Vancouver
Mount Pleasant Dental Group offers biological dentistry for patients interested in an approach that considers the materials and techniques used as part of their dental treatment.
We are conscientious about the products, materials, and technologies used within our practice and consider their impact on both patient health and the environment.
If you’ve been searching for a biological dentist in Vancouver—or exploring what some patients refer to as a holistic approach to dentistry—our team can discuss your concerns and preferences with you and explain the options available at our practice.
Thoughtful About Our Environmental Impact
Sustainability is another consideration in how we approach dentistry.
When selecting technologies and products for our practice, we consider their environmental footprint alongside their role in providing dental care. It’s part of a broader philosophy that recognizes the connection between the care we provide, the health of our patients, and the community around us.

More Than Our Dentists

Together, our goal is to create an environment where patients feel welcomed, listened to, and comfortable asking questions about their oral health.
Dental Care That Works With Your Schedule
Making dental care easier to fit into everyday life is important to us.
Our East Broadway dental office is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with Saturday appointments also available. Free parking is available for patients visiting the practice.
Our location is particularly convenient for patients looking for a dentist in Mount Pleasant or a dentist near Fraser Street, Main Street, and surrounding East Vancouver communities.
Helping You Navigate the Cost of Dental Care
We believe patients should have information about the expected cost of recommended treatment.
Mount Pleasant Dental Group follows the current BC Dental Association Fee Guide and can provide a cost estimate for advised treatment. We also offer direct billing to dental insurance providers and can assist with predeterminations when appropriate.
Our practice also accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).
Most importantly, treatment recommendations are based on your dental health needs rather than being dictated by your insurance coverage. Our team can help you understand available coverage, but the final treatment decision remains between you and your dentist.
A Multilingual Dental Team
Clear communication is an important part of feeling comfortable with your dental care.
Mount Pleasant Dental Group serves Vancouver’s diverse community with team members who speak multiple languages, including English, Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, Hungarian, Farsi, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Hindi, Punjabi, and Gujarati.
If language is an important consideration when choosing your dentist, contact our office to discuss how our team may be able to assist you.
