Dr. Rosanna Porretta has been taking care of Bolton’s mouths for 19 years.

She opened Bolton Family Dental Centre right out of dental school, which she graduated from after an already lengthy career in the dental field.

“It was a fluke,” she said, when asked how she got into dentistry. “I got a job in a dental office as a teenager and it went from there. I started as a dental assistant, then became a hygienist, then a dentist.”

The dentistry is located at 24 Shore St., is open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Tuesday from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

They offer cosmetic contouring, crowns and bridges, specialty dentures, implants, whitening, root canal therapy and braces for adults and children among many other services.

Dr. Porretta was 29-years-old when she entered dental school and graduated when she was thirty-three, subsequently opened her practice on Shore Street in 2000. Of working in Bolton, she said, “it’s a very nice community…I’ve had a lot of patients for a lot of years and I’m thankful for it, and I love my job…they’ve become my family over the years. You get to see them grow up, especially the kids.”

Of Bolton Family Dental Centre, she comments, “it’s been through a lot of changes over the years. Right now, I have a wonderful associate and great staff. It’s hard sometimes, but you keep pushing through. You keep getting up and going to work and seeing what the day brings.”

For the future of her practice, Dr. Porretta’s goals are “just keeping it steady, doing good works, being meticulous about the work we do and making sure it’s the best we can do. Their [the patient’s] mouth should be ideal, so if they went to any other dentist they wouldn’t find any problems. I want to let my patients know that oral health is an investment and how to take care of their investment.

She wants to thank the Bolton and Caledon community for their support and express “how blessed I feel that they’ve trusted me with their dental care. I want to thank all my patients over the years who have supported our office. You’ve done right by us, and I hope we’ve done right by you as well.”
