Who We Are

Dr. Long is a specialist in periodontics and implantology. We specialize in conservative and surgical treatment of gum disease including cosmetic procedures to aesthetically enhance your smile, as well as dental implants that can replace single or multiple missing teeth. Our aim is to provide a healthy, functional, beautiful smile.

Although no one likes to go to the doctor or dentist, we strive to make your visits with us as comfortable and pleasant as possible. We strongly believe that our patient’s comfort is an important part of quality dental care.

Dr. Long believes that your right to choose a dentist is an important freedom. We work closely with your dentist, but a referral by a dentist is not required to visit our office. We also welcome referrals from patients and friends of the practice.

We are extraordinarily proud of our staff, which is comprised of caring and dedicated professionals. They ensure that the patient’s surgical and administrative needs are met as efficiently and smoothly as possible.

Who We Are

Lakeview Dental takes pride in our high standards of patient care. We strive to be up to date with current education, and we incorporate the best new techniques, materials and equipment available.

 

Dr. Kate Kerr-Lawson

Dr. Kate Kerr-Lawson graduated from Dentistry in 1991 from the University of Western Ontario. She had always dreamed of living in a small town near water, with the ability to practice all aspects of dentistry.  She moved to Kincardine with her husband upon graduation and worked as an associate in Chesley, Ontario for 3 years before having the opportunity to work at Lakeview Dental Services.

In 1996 she became a full partner with Dr. Hickling and has continued to do all aspects of general dentistry in this setting.  Kate offers hospital dentistry to patients who require a general anaesthetic for extraction of wisdom teeth, fillings and extractions.   She is also, after much study, placing dental implants since 2005 for patients that have lost a tooth, or require implants to hold their denture in place.

When Lakeview Dental was selected by the Ontario Dental Association  as one of the model offices in the province, Kate had the opportunity to participate in a workshop that produced a “ Best Practices” manual for Ontario dentists.  She has been a council member of the ODA and has served as President of the local dental society. Dr. Kerr-Lawson stays active with cycling, skiing, and yoga but mostly she enjoys time with her family.

 

Dr. Lee Hickling

Dr. Hickling and his family moved to Kincardine in 1978, just after graduating from The University of Western Ontario. He has been practising in the same location ever since. The practice has grown steadily and has seen 2 major expansions, the last one  featuring a second-story addition, in 2007. The office has evolved from a one-chair operation with 2 employees to 9 dental operatories and a staff of 21.

Lee has been active in organized dentistry, serving as president of the local dental society, and  as a councilor for the Ontario Dental Association. For many years he has been participating in volunteer dentistry in many remote areas of the world, including Peru, Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua, Nunavut,  Ecuador, and, in 2013, Uganda.

Dr. Hickling has constantly pursued continuing education and new technology. He is  a certified Invisalign™  provider, and has  added a soft-tissue laser and a Cerec CAD/CAM machine ( single-visit crowns) to the office.

Now that his three children have grown and left the nest, Lee is enjoying his four grand-daughters, as well as his many interests, including photography, cycling, hiking the Bruce Trail, and music.

 

Dr. Shervin Rowshani

Dr . Rowshani has just recently joined our team.  We were immediately  impressed with his clinical skills, and, above all, his empathy towards our patients.  Dr Rowshani graduated  from the University of Toronto in 2010. Upon graduation he started working in London and Exeter. In fall of 2011 he had the opportunity to work in Kincardine and immediately was swept  away by the calmness, the pace and quality of life in town, and by its people.  He enjoys all aspects of dentistry and has been an active member of the Canadian and Ontario Dental Associations before and after graduation. Outside of the dental office, Shervin enjoys traveling, playing a variety of sports like tennis and enjoying the beautiful beaches of Kincardine .
