Empire Dental

Empire Dental, a dental clinic in downtown Kamloops

Empire Dental is a dental clinic located in the heart of downtown Kamloops, British Columbia. It opened its doors in 2018 and was founded by Dr. Dhaval Admar, who practices as a general dentist. The team consists of two experienced dentists, a dental therapist, and a dedicated hygienist. The clinic presents itself as a space for attentive care, with prior conversation and shared decision-making with the patient.

General and preventive dentistry

The main activity is general dentistry for all ages. The catalog includes comprehensive exams and new patient exams, dental hygiene, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, digital X-rays, oral cancer screening, gum grafting, root canals, and extractions, including wisdom teeth extractions. The clinic serves patients from a child's first visit through complete restorations in later stages of life.

Cosmetic dentistry and smile transformations

The cosmetic area covers veneers and Lumineers, teeth whitening, dental bonding, crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, dental implants, and the treatment known as Hollywood Smile. The clinic describes a digital planning process that allows you to preview the result before starting, with a personalized smile design that aims to match the patient's personality, expression, and comfort, not just color and shape.

Orthodontics and guards

In orthodontics, Invisalign clear aligner therapy and retainers are offered. The clinic also makes and fits dental guards: night guards, sports mouthguards, and appliances for snoring and sleep apnea.

Technology and safety

Empire Dental defines itself as a fully digital practice. It uses the iTero intraoral scanner, the CEREC same-day crown system, laser dentistry, and digital X-rays, which allows treatment to be planned with clear images and reduces the number of visits, without paste impressions. CEREC crowns are designed and placed in a single visit, with no temporary or second appointment. Infection-control standards meet or exceed the requirements of the College of Dental Surgeons of BC: each room is disinfected between patients, instruments are sterilized with medical-grade equipment, and protective barriers are used for every procedure.

Dental emergencies and sedation

The clinic reserves same-day appointments for urgent cases, such as broken teeth, lost crowns, or sudden pain. It offers sedation options for patients who need them.

Languages, accessibility, and environment

The team speaks English, Gujarati, and Hindi. The building is wheelchair-accessible, with elevators and wide doorways, and parking is free next to the entrance. The clinic presents itself as a modern, quiet space with spacious, bright rooms, and serves children, adults, seniors, and newcomers to Canada.

Insurance, financing, and public coverage

Empire Dental accepts most major dental insurance plans and offers direct billing to insurers, as well as affordable fees and patient financing options. The clinic provides information about the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and helps confirm coverage before starting any treatment. It is a member of the 123Dentist community in Canada.

The team and its approach

Dr. Dhaval Admar earned his Bachelor of Dental Surgery in India and completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery in Canada in 2014. After several years of practice in Saskatchewan, he settled with his family in Kamloops, where he founded the clinic. He maintains continuing education in implantology, cosmetic dentistry, and restorative dentistry through institutions such as the Kois Center and the Digital Dentistry Institute. The clinic describes its method as an initial conversation about what the patient wants, with careful planning and open communication, and presents itself as a small team that takes time to listen before acting.
