Our story
Meet the team that takes care of your smile
Since 1986, new faces have joined, but the spirit of Ahuntsic Dental Center has remained the same. Founded by Dr. Mario Desrochers and Dr. Richard Sauvé, our clinic has grown alongside the needs of our patients, with expansions, additional treatment rooms, and the adoption of new technologies.
Dr. Maxime Desrochers and Dr. Nicholas Trudeau took over in 2015, joined by Dr. Mélanie Taillefer in 2025. Our team continues to grow, but our core values remain: respect, attention to detail , and the well-being of every patient.
