Dr. Alison Fransen
General DentistWhen I was young I loved visiting my dentist. The receptionist knew my name and often asked me about my day at school, the dental assistant remembered my favourite fluoride flavour and the dentist was always gentle and kind. As a patient I enjoyed visiting my dentist's office and now as a dentist I have recreated that same friendly atmosphere for you in the Wesbrook Dental Centre.
I am proud of the excellent team at our office and know you will be impressed too. The office is bright and modern with your comfort and dental care in mind. Behind every beautiful smile is a healthy mouth.

Our Clinic’s History & Location
Wesbrook Place is the newest of six residential neighbourhoods on the UBC campus. Built with the intention of support a growing community, Wesbrook Place provides all the essential facilities a community needs, like the Community Centre and the Village Square. Your Wesbrook Village dentist purposefully chose to open an office near UBC for the betterment of the community. Our central location is convenient for residents and students so we can provide quality dental services to everyone in the area. We are grateful to be a part of this newly developing neighbourhood and plan to become a cornerstone of dental care for the residents here.
Dental Technology At Your Wesbrook Village Dentist
Here at Campus Dentists, we pride ourself in saying up to date with dental technology. When we built our offices, we had them specifically designed for the use of dental technology. Because we have the current technology in-house, we rarely need to refer patients to an outside specialist. We want dental technology to be readily available for everyone, which is why we’ve invested in the innovative iTero system, which allows us to take digital 3D dental scans.
