General Dentist

About

Dr. Sija Srikanthan—known affectionately by patients and team members as Dr. Sija—was inspired to become a dentist from a young age. Her earliest dental visits left her with warm memories of comfort and calm, thanks to a dentist who turned each appointment into a positive experience. Today, she brings that same energy into her own practice, creating a safe and reassuring space where patients feel seen, heard, and truly cared for.

Experience & Training

Dr. Sija earned her Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, with a minor in Psychology, from York University. She then went on to complete her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Western Ontario. Certified in nitrous oxide sedation, she is especially skilled at helping patients with dental anxiety feel at ease and relaxed during their visits.

Philosophy

Dr. Sija believes in the power of prevention, communication, and collaboration. Her approach is all about empowering patients through education and building trust at every stage of care. She enjoys working with patients of all ages and is committed to supporting each one on their unique oral health journey—with patience, clarity, and kindness.

A Note from Dr. Sija

“My goal is to help each patient feel truly seen, heard, and supported. Whether you’re coming in for a routine check-up or something more involved, I’m here to make the experience positive, gentle, and tailored to you.”

Beyond the Clinic

Outside of the dental office, Dr. Sija is a proud cat mom to two adorable furballs, Sunny and Penny. She enjoys reading, sipping on her favourite bubble tea, and soaking up quiet moments of rest. You’ll often find her exploring nature trails, catching up on health and wellness podcasts, or simply recharging with the people (and pets) she loves most.
