Dr. Harsh Vankawala is a caring dentist known to his patients as Dr. H or Dr. Hershey and is fluent in English, Hindi, and Gujarati. Dr. Vankawala is passionate about three key treatments: root canals, restorations, and surgery.

Root canals are more than just procedures to Dr. Vankawala; they’re about saving teeth and relieving pain. Restorations, whether it’s a crown or cosmetic filling, bring back both function and aesthetics, and nothing brings him more joy than seeing a patient smile confidently after treatment. Surgery, from extracting decayed teeth to removing wisdom teeth, presents challenges that feed his curiosity and drive to make procedures as comfortable as possible for his patients.

Patients choose Dr. Vankawala because of his listening skills and ability to put them at ease. He believes that open and honest communication builds trust and mutual respect, crucial for effective dental care. Dr. Vankawala also is passionate about treating anxious patients, ensuring their comfort throughout procedures with his gentle chair-side manner. As one patient review humorously noted, “Ironically, my dentist’s name is Dr. Harsh, he is anything but.”

Dr. Vankawala’s journey from India to Canada in 2013 was filled with education and adventure, thanks to the support of his close-knit family. Beyond dentistry, he’s a trained meditator, PADI certified diver, avid reader, and music enthusiast. He enjoys outdoor activities like running and swimming, and he cherishes his time with his wife, who works in architecture.
