Bio
Fluent in both Filipino (Tagalog) and English, Dr. Maria Tuason brings decades of passion, skill, and integrity to her dental practice. Born in the Philippines, she moved to Canada in 1975 to pursue her studies, following in the footsteps of her mother, a dentist, and her father, a criminal lawyer. Her dedication to excellence led her to advanced training at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute, where she specialized in full mouth reconstruction and obstructive sleep apnea treatment.
Dr. Tuason is known for her honesty, competency, and genuine ability to listen to her patients. She is passionate about braces, mouth reconstruction, and smile design—treatments that not only improve oral health but also transform confidence and self-esteem. Her approach to dentistry is deeply personal and compassionate; she believes in building trust and understanding each patient’s unique story before beginning any treatment.
For patients who may feel anxious about visiting the dentist, Dr. Tuason offers a simple but heartfelt invitation: come for a friendly coffee chat before your appointment.
This relaxed approach helps patients share their concerns openly and feel comfortable moving forward. She encourages everyone seeking a new dentist to look for three essential qualities—honesty, skill, and the ability to listen—values she embodies in every aspect of her care.
