DUNBAR FAMILY DENTAL: A Family Affair

From an early age, Dr. David Hou wanted to be a dentist. His experience with orthodontic work began in grade 6 when he made monthly visits over three years to have his braces adjusted. His dentist always made the experience comfortable and fun.

“My career choice had a lot to do with how I was treated at the dentist’s office.”

Dr. David went to elementary school and high school in the Dunbar area, and during his teenage years, he did job shadowing and mentoring to get a feel for the dental profession. After graduating, Dr. David attended the University of California and completed his dental training at Loma Linda University Medical Centre. In 2006, he returned to Vancouver to continue practicing dentistry.

Dr. David has been a dentist in the Lower Mainland for the past 17 years. In 2014, he began practicing at Dunbar Family Dental.

In 2022, Dr. Titus Hou (Dr. David’s cousin) joined Dunbar Family Dental as an associate dentist. He grew up in Vancouver and obtained his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Surgery degrees at the University of the Pacific. He has been practicing in the Lower Mainland for 11 years.

8 www.DunbarLife.com April 15 - June 15, 2023

“It is great working with my cousin as we challenge each other to become the best we can be in our profession. We are both passionate about dentistry; we are continually advancing our training and education. We share our experiences and regularly discuss cases to provide the best treatment plans for our patients. Working with a family member is a special and positive experience,” says Dr. David.

Dr. Titus is a part-time faculty member at UBC’s School of Dentistry and is active in many different study clubs mentored by experts in the field. He regularly attends continuing education courses in dentistry to stay on the cutting edge of the profession.

In addition to busy days at his practice, Dr. David holds a part-time academic position at UBC. He teaches clinical dentistry to third and fourth-year students one day a week and enjoys the experience. In 2014 and 2017, he won the UBC part-time teaching award for excellent dental instructors in the field.

“I’m a lifelong learner in dentistry, and I like to stay on top of all the new advances in the field. Technology has improved a lot of dentistry, and It’s important to be on top of these advances,” he says.

He comments, “I’ve always wanted to provide the best dentistry to my patients, and that comes with acquiring the best technologies available. Many of these machines and equipment require space. In 2019, we underwent a large expansion and renovation and took over the vacant office space next door.”

Dunbar Family Dental has doubled in size and grown from three operatory rooms to six larger and more spacious operatories. They added a dedicated X-ray room with a state-of-the-art 3-D cone beam CT X-ray, which helps with dental implant planning, oral surgery, and orthodontic treatment planning. A consultation room, a larger sterilization area, and a laboratory area were also added. The lobby also increased, allowing for proper social distancing between patients.

Sirona X-ray cones in each operatory ensure minimal radiation exposure for dental X-rays. A Velscope machine is used to screen for oral cancer and is offered as a complimentary service to the clinic’s regular patients.

9 www.DunbarLife.com April 15 - June 15, 2023
Over the past few years, Dr. David’s practice has grown significantly.

“We’ve added a Wireless Intra-Oral Scanner device, a comfortable gadget that allows us to scan the teeth for impressions and take models. It replaces using gooey impression material in a tray to get a mould of a patient’s teeth. We also have intra-oral cameras that take very clear images of teeth that our patients can view, and understand more about their oral conditions,” says Dr. David.

“Educating our patients and having them understand their mouth and teeth is important to us.”

Dr. David says, “One of the biggest rewards of the profession is the meaningful relationships that I’ve built over time with my patients.”

The family dental practice offers everything from conventional braces for children to Invisalign for adults, checkups, fillings, crowns, root canals, implants, and wisdom teeth removal. Oral sedation is available for those needing it or for procedures such as implants and wisdom teeth. Oral health care has improved so much that far fewer people require dentures. Many patients opt for more permanent and practical solutions such as dental implants.

Dr. David appreciates the many things that make Dunbar such a great community.

“In the summer, my children play at Chaldecott Park, they enjoy the waterpark, and we picnic there regularly. We visit Dunbar Community Centre and the grassy areas, take walks through Pacific Spirit Park, and make trips to Dunbar Library to borrow books. We also enjoy drinks at Perchance and take the kids to Dairy Queen for a treat on hot summer days. Dunbar is a closeknit community. I feel very fortunate to practice here.” Dunbar Family Dental 4210 Dunbar Street Vancouver, BC V6S 2E9 Phone 604-733-1616

DUNBAR LIFE: Ask An Expert

How can I infuse vintage into my decor?

I often hear from customers that they love the look of vintage home decor but can’t quite envision how to style them in their homes. One of my favorite things about vintage furniture is that they can add a splash of retro or subtle boho feel to a room without overpowering your existing decor.

You can start with a handwoven vintage rug to add vibrant hues to your space, a vintage armchair for a functional yet retro statement piece, or a few vintage coffee table books for an eye-catching way to tie a room together.

We are happy to walk you through how to incorporate vintage pieces into your current decor!

Alma Home & Vintage also offers giftable items for every occasion! We have lots of modern and vintage items ranging from fuzzy house slippers and scented soy candles, to quirky picture frames, 80s jewelry boxes, and eclectic plant stands.

DUNBAR LIFE: Ask An Expert:

What can an orthodontist do?

Orthodontics is a dental specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities and typically involves the use of braces, aligners, and other appliances to move teeth into the correct positions and improve the alignment of the bite.

• Traditional metal braces are a common type of orthodontic treatment that use brackets and wires to move teeth into the correct positions.

• Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth.

• After braces or other orthodontic treatment, a retainer may be used to keep teeth in their new positions.

• Orthodontic appliances are headgear, expanders, and bite correctors, which can be used to correct more severe dental and facial irregularities.

Westside Orthodontics can provide consultations and exams to evaluate a patient’s dental health and determine the best course of treatment.

SKIN VECTOR: An Upscale Cosmetic Clinic

Skin Vector on Dunbar Street is an upscale cosmetic clinic known for its anti-aging and rejuvenating treatments.

Dr. Lana Turban is the clinic’s owner. She grew up in a small town in Belarus, where both her parents were dentists. Dr. Turban’s parents’ relationships with their clients always fascinated her, which sparked her interest in becoming a practitioner.

“I remember walking down the street during one of the local festivals with my father, and almost every second person was my father’s friend or client; they were shaking hands and hugging each other. When I asked why these people were so friendly and nice, he replied, “When you are a kind person, you will get this kindness back. When you are a passionate, professional, and great doctor, you will get double the kindness back.”

Dr. Turban has been in the medical field for almost 20 years.

She began her career as a nurse in the surgical field and graduated from the University in Belarus in general medicine with a focus on general surgery. She completed her residency at UBC in general practice.

“I was doing a lot of hands-on work in my practice in areas such as skin care, including minor surgical procedures. It was very natural for me to convert to aesthetic medicine. I completed my program at an Australian university in aesthetic, general and advanced dermatology,” says Dr. Turban.

20 www.DunbarLife.com April 15 - June 15, 2023

She adds, “I trained in injectables and non-surgical facelifts in North America and Europe. I happily share my knowledge and provide training on the anatomy of aging, the use of injectables and PDO threads (a cosmetic treatment that helps reverse the visible signs of aging on the face and neck) in the prevention and treatment of skin conditions including age-related changes.”

Before rebranding as Skin Vector, Dr. Lana Turban operated the clinic as a medical clinic in another location. Dr. Turban was pleased to find the Dunbar Street location, which offers space and comfort for her clients. Skin Vector officially launched in the summer of 2022.

Thirteen years ago, a close friend of Dr. Turban’s suggested relocating to Vancouver, which she praised as the best place to call home. Although her friend has moved back to Europe, Dr. Turban says, “I love Vancouver more and more.”

“Dunbar is a vibrant and diverse neighbourhood known for its access to the outdoors. The area is well-connected by public transit and is home to a variety of shops and restaurants, which I frequent. Its proximity to downtown makes it the ideal area to grow my business. The neighbourhood has a strong sense of community, making Dunbar a special place to base my clinic.”

Clients are taken care of by experienced staff. After checking in, they are taken to the treatment area to relax in a comfortable and peaceful environment where Dr. Turban performs cosmetic treatments; she ensures clients feel comfortable and at ease throughout the procedure. Once the treatment is complete, instructions are provided on post-treatment care, and a follow-up appointment is booked to ensure the results are successful.

21 www.DunbarLife.com April 15 - June 15, 2023
“My favourite thing is coming to work in the spring when the streets look absolutely beautiful with cherry tree blossoms and flying petals.”

Anti-aging and rejuvenation treatments include antiwrinkle injectables, Botox, PDO threads and dermal fillers, laser therapy, lip enhancement, mesotherapy and micro-needling.

Some of the clinic’s most requested services include medical dermatology, skin lesion removal and platelet-rich plasma for hair loss and skin and joint pain.

Many of Dr. Turban’s clients are Dunbar residents; others come from across the Lower Mainland Vancouver to visit the respected clinic. Client feedback is extremely positive. One client who gets lip filler summarizes her experience.

“I’m so glad I decided to go to Dr. Turban, and I recommend her to everyone. She put me at ease and really listened to the look I wanted to achieve while giving me recommendations based on my features. She has a very gentle, nurturing, and conservative touch. I feel so well taken care of when I see her, and I can't wait to book more treatments.”

“We do not aspire to turn the clock back or change a person, but rather to look after the skin as this is the largest and the most exposed organ of the human body,” says Dr. Turban.

Watering Restrictions Explained

In 2022, Metro Vancouver brought in stronger lawn watering restrictions to conserve our drinking water supply and meet the demand of a growing population and the effects of climate change.

Stop Watering Your Lawn…

Let your lawn go dormant in summer, it will be yellow and dry, but will bounce back to a lush emerald green once the rains begin. Watering restrictions start May 1st regardless of the weather. Be sure to have your irrigation company set timers accordingly.

…But Keep Watering your Shrubs and Trees

Many homeowners were afraid to water their shrubs and trees last year because of the threat of fines coming from the City. Let’s get clear:

“Watering trees, shrubs, and flowers is permitted any day from 5am to 9am if using a sprinkler, or any time if hand watering or using drip irrigation. All hoses must have an automatic shut-off device.”

Consider watering any trees that are showing signs of drought stress and start now.

Signs of drought stress:

• Excessive numbers of seeds covering the entire tree

• Yellowing of leaves

• Excessive dropping of leaves

How to water deeply:

• Leave a soaker hose on drought stressed or mature trees for 8 hours

• Put a hose on a slow trickle for two hours per quadrant around the base of the tree and move through all four quadrants for a total of 8 hours

• Let water to percolate deeply into the root zone

• Repeat once or twice per month, up to weekly during drought
