About the Doctors
Dr. Howard Black
Dr. Howard Black graduated from the University of Toronto, Faculty of Dentistry in 1981. After practicing dentistry in Scarborough for over 20 years, he and his wife Bonnie, the Office Manager, wanted to create a unique dental practice environment that would change the way patients would perceive going to the dentist. Their vision included a spa-like atmosphere with luxurious appointments designed to reduce patients’ anxiety and increase feelings of relaxation and comfort. And so Pine Ridge Dental Centre was conceived.
The result is a highly stylized, technologically advanced facility that is a pleasure for all ages. Dr. and Mrs. Black’s experience in patient management was integral in the planning and design, which supports the newest modalities of treatment and efficiencies in patient care.
Along with the ongoing development of the Centre, Dr. Black continues to enjoy all aspects of family dentistry, maintaining special interest in cosmetic enhancements, comprehensive restoration and orthodontics including Invisalign, of which he is one of Ontario’s highest volume Invisalign certified providers having achieved Premier Provider status in 2006.
Dr. Black is a member of many leading dental organizations including the Canadian Dental Association, the Ontario Dental Association and the Alpha Omega Dental Fraternity. Away from the office he enjoys outdoor activities, the cottage and boating.
Dr. and Mrs. Black look forward to meeting patients through their day offering their unique brand of hospitality and personal attention.
