Meet The Dentist

Dr. Bruce Ward General Dentist

Dr. Bruce Ward has been providing compassionate, high-quality dental care for nearly five decades. Originally from Granby, Quebec, he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from McGill University in 1976. Following graduation, he practiced in Bermuda for a year, where he met his wife, Karin, before relocating to North Vancouver in 1978.

In 1985, Dr. Ward partnered with two of his McGill classmates to purchase a dental practice in Coquitlam, where he practiced for more than 20 years. In 2008, he returned to the North Shore, where he has continued to provide exceptional dental care to the community.

Dr. Ward currently practices two days a week, allowing him to dedicate significant time to volunteer service and professional leadership. He volunteers at the free dental clinic on the North Shore, serves on committees for the British Columbia Dental Association, teaches at the University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Dentistry, and is a member of the organizing committee for the Pacific Dental Conference, Canada’s largest annual dental conference.

One of the greatest rewards of Dr. Ward’s career has been building lasting relationships with his patients, many of whom he has cared for for more than 40 years. He considers it a privilege to treat multiple generations of families and values the trust they have placed in him throughout the years. He is equally grateful to work alongside a dedicated team committed to providing exceptional patient care.

Dr. Ward is committed to delivering ethical, evidence-based, and technically excellent dentistry in a welcoming and supportive environment. His philosophy is centered on honest communication, informed treatment decisions, and personalized care that promotes long-term oral health. His passion for dentistry remains as strong today as when he began his career, and he looks forward to continuing to care for his patients for many years to come.
