About

At Enamel Republic (formerly Danube Dental Clinic), our Kitchener Dental Team has been providing award-winning Family and Emergency Dentistry in Kitchener-Waterloo for 40 years. Our Dental Office is located in the heart of Downtown Kitchener and we are proud to be owned by a local family that is serious about supporting the community. We have built a longstanding tradition of providing transparent care that is conservative and based on minimal intervention. 

 

Our Kitchener Dentist keeps it simple: we only recommend treatment when it is absolutely necessary for keeping your teeth and gums in proper function. No fluff. No unnecessary extras. In an era of crafty marketing and high-pressure salesmanship, we take the opposite approach: full transparency, complete information, and unwavering support regardless of the treatment you choose. Rest assured, the Patient-First model of dental care is alive and well in Downtown Kitchener. That’s the Enamel Republic difference!

  • How to Keep Your Dental Implant Forever!

    Ok, so dental implants...what are they and why are they so popular? Here are what I think are some pretty good answers to those questions.A dental implant includes a surgical screw that threads into your jawbone and a tooth crown that attaches to it. It's a tooth replacement solution and it's...

  • What type of crown is best for front teeth?

    If you want something esthetic, then you'll be looking at porcelains. In the past, many Dentists used porcelain-fused-to-metal or PFM crowns to balance strength and esthetics when restoring front teeth. Unfortunately, light can pass through porcelain but not metal underneath. So, these PFM crowns look tooth-coloured but are much more opaque or "chalky" in appearance compared to their natural tooth neighbours. E-max or IPS Empress porcelain are highly esthetic porcelains that can successfully blend right in with neighbouring front teeth! READ MORE

  • What type of crown lasts the longest?

    Metals, Gold, metal alloys are still the best choice for longevity when it comes to dental crowns. They are far superior to porcelain and zirconia with regard to longevity. The reason is that, when a lab makes your dental crown, they can heat the metal to make it malleable and they can shape, bend and drag it to perfectly seal off the area where your dental crown meets your tooth. In contrast, they have to cut or shave porcelain and this will inevitably result in small micro-gaps. These micro-gaps can lead to tooth decay and cavities under your crown and this is the #1 cause of dental crown failure. Metal can be adapted to the stone model of your tooth when fabricating a crown and porcelain and zirconia cannot be heated and adapted - this is the basis for superiority of metals in crown fabrication.
