Bentall Dental Centre
Your Downtown Dentist
About Us
Your Downtown Dentist Since 1987
Bentall Dental is home to your downtown dentist in Vancouver. We offer both general and cosmetic dentistry services at a conveniently located practice.
We have been in practice in the Bentall Four since 1987. A lot of our patients work in the Bentall centre; however, because of the restorative/cosmetic nature of our practice we are also a destination dentist.
We are involved with the community, attend trade shows, and lectures throughout the world.
The office is small and comfortable and we try to make your visit to us an enjoyable one. Let’s face it though – some of us believe that going to the dentist is a horrible experience. Thanks to phrases such as “it’s like pulling teeth” we associate going to the dentist with a painful experience. Our goal is not only to give you great dental care, but also to give you a comfortable experience so that we can challenge that perception, one patient, at a time.
Bentall Dental Centre is proudly owned by Dr. Al-Juboori and Dr. Amin Shivji.
Our Office
Conveniently Located Downtown in Bentall Four
Your Downtown dentist is located in the lower level mall of the Bentall Four. If you are entering the Bentall Tower from the Skytrain entrance, go through the mall, turn left at 2nd Cup and you should find us before the next set of escalators. If you are entering the Bentall Tower from Dunsmuir Street, go down the steps to the plaza and you will find us on the right.
There is quite a lot of activity in this mall. Because we have a lot of foot traffic, we try to keep you entertained with our ever-changing décor.
We celebrate every occasion and even non-occasions. Besides being tastefully decorated, our office is designed to feel modern and comfortable. We believe that it represents who we are and the type of practice we offer you: up-to-date, friendly, warm, and welcoming.

At the end of the day, she wants her patients to know that they are being treated by a team that has their best interests at heart.

Dr. Andrew Shannon
General Dentist
Recently retired, Dr. Andrew Shannon is passionate about dentistry. His first passion was pursuing a career in stunts; however, he soon realized that he was more talented with his hands and wanted to put them to good use to make a difference in people’s lives.
Dr. Shannon has been in practice in the Bentall Centre since 1987. His focus has been on cosmetic procedures; however, he believes that each procedure he performs should be beautifully done and functionally sound. Speaking of sound, how often do you hear a dentist sing while he works – and carry a tune!

Dental Technology
Dental Technologies We Use In Our Vancouver Office
Dental technology is constantly evolving, and our clinic is evolving with it. We evaluate what we think would add value to you – our patient – versus what is current in the dental marketing buzz.
Here is a list of the technologies your downtown dentist uses:
VELscope
This is a tool used to monitor the tissues in your mouth and acts as a pre-cancer screening device. The VELscope is a standard of care in our practice. Learn about oral cancer screening.
Cavitron
Is an ultra-sonic scaler that our hygienist uses to scale teeth. Sometimes we still use the conventional method scaling, which is case dependent.
Digital Radiography
We have been using Digital x-Rays since 2004. Digital radiography uses 90% less radiation than traditional xrays.
Soft Tissue Laser
We have had this equipment in place since 1998. It is used mainly to re-contour soft tissue, and to enhance aesthetics. We sometimes use it to remove excess tissue.
Social Responsibility
We Are Socially Responsible
Our Clinic and team care. Through the activities we support we enhance dental healthcare and education. We also do what we can to take care of our environment.
Our Clinic donates product, in-kind services and money to strengthen community relations. Activities that we are involved with include: Community Wellness, Access to Care, and the Downtown Eastside clinic.
We do our part for the environment by managing waste such as mercury in a manner that does not negatively impact the environment.
Ethical Waste at your Downtown Dentist in Vancouver
