Dentist Hamilton Ontario — Red Rose Dentistry at 135 James Street South
Red Rose Dentistry is a full-scope dental clinic in Downtown Hamilton, Ontario, providing dental care for patients across every life stage and all communities in the Greater Hamilton area. Located at 135 James St S, Unit 114 — with free on-site parking and Saturday appointments — Red Rose Dentistry offers the complete range of dental services under one roof: general and preventive care, pediatric dentistry, specialist-level orthodontics, dental implants, dentures, sedation, emergency care, and cosmetic dentistry.
This page provides a comprehensive overview of who we are, what we offer, who is on our clinical team, and how we serve Hamilton patients across all dental needs. For specific services, each section links to the dedicated page for that treatment.
About Red Rose Dentistry — Downtown Hamilton’s Full-Service Clinic
Red Rose Dentistry is built on a simple premise: most Hamilton families should not need to see multiple specialists at multiple locations to manage their complete dental health. The clinic at James Street South brings together the clinical capabilities and the specialist-level team depth that allows the vast majority of a patient’s dental needs — from a toddler’s first tooth to a grandparent’s denture reline — to be managed in one location, with one team, under one clinical record.
The result is a practice that functions as a genuine dental home rather than a referral hub. Patients who establish care at Red Rose Dentistry access their general dentistry, their orthodontic consultation, their denture fitting, and their implant assessment from the same address on James Street South. Families book multiple members at the same clinic. Elderly patients transitioning from natural teeth to prosthetic solutions have both their dentist and their registered denturist in the same location. And for Hamilton residents enrolled in the Canadian Dental Care Plan, direct billing through Sun Life is available for all covered services without a reimbursement process.
Our Clinical Team
Dr. Firas Khakani — Orthodontist and Clinical Director
Dr. Firas Khakani holds a Master of Science in Orthodontics and has more than 20 years of clinical experience in orthodontic treatment. In 2026, he was named the ClearCorrect KOL Award winner for North America — one of the most significant recognitions in the aligner orthodontics field. Dr. Khakani leads the orthodontic program at Red Rose Dentistry, providing ClearCorrect aligner treatment for teens and adults with the diagnostic depth and clinical experience of a trained orthodontic specialist. His presence within a general dental practice — rather than a standalone orthodontic clinic — is a meaningful clinical differentiator for Hamilton families who want specialist-quality orthodontics coordinated with their general dental care. For full details on our orthodontic program, see our ClearCorrect Hamilton page.
Michael Fijolek, RD — Registered Denturist
Michael Fijolek is a College of Denturists of Ontario registered denturist and recipient of the Dean’s Medal — a recognition of academic excellence in denturism. Michael provides the full scope of denture services at Red Rose Dentistry: complete dentures, partial dentures, implant-retained dentures, relines, adjustments, and emergency denture repairs. His practice within the same clinic as the treating dentist enables a level of clinical coordination — particularly for patients transitioning from natural teeth to denture solutions — that is not possible when the dentist and denturist are at separate locations. For full details, see our dentures Hamilton page.
Dr. Abeer — General Dentist
Dr. Abeer provides general, restorative, and cosmetic dental care at Red Rose Dentistry, including comprehensive examinations, restorations, root canal treatment, extractions, and cosmetic procedures. Dr. Abeer works with patients across all age groups as part of the broader family dental team at James Street South.
General and Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dental care — the combination of professional cleaning, examination, and X-rays at regular intervals — is the foundation of every patient’s dental health at Red Rose Dentistry. Our dental hygiene team provides professional scaling and polishing, periodontal assessment, fluoride treatment, and patient-specific oral hygiene guidance at every hygiene appointment. The examining dentist provides a comprehensive assessment of all teeth, soft tissues, and bone at each visit.
The frequency of preventive appointments is tailored to each patient’s clinical risk profile: six-month recall for most patients, more frequent for those with active gum disease, and annual for patients with proven minimal calculus accumulation and excellent home care. CDCP covers preventive appointments — examinations and cleaning — for eligible patients at the applicable tier, with direct billing to Sun Life. For full details, see our dental cleaning Hamilton page.
Pediatric and Family Dentistry
Red Rose Dentistry is a family dental clinic that sees patients from their first tooth through to senior care. Children’s dental visits at Red Rose Dentistry are structured to be positive and age-appropriate, building a relationship with dental care that reduces anxiety over time and establishes habits that last a lifetime. We recommend first dental visits by age one, with six-month recall appointments thereafter.
Fissure sealants and fluoride treatments for children, developmental monitoring, bite assessment, and early orthodontic evaluation are all available as part of our pediatric dental service. For families, the ability to bring all members — from toddlers to grandparents — to the same clinic simplifies scheduling, record management, and insurance coordination considerably.
Orthodontics — ClearCorrect Aligners Led by Dr. Firas Khakani
The ClearCorrect aligner program at Red Rose Dentistry is among the most qualified orthodontic services available at a general dental practice in Hamilton. Directed by Dr. Firas Khakani — an MSc-level orthodontist and ClearCorrect 2026 KOL Award winner for North America — the program provides aligner orthodontic treatment for teens (from approximately age 13) and adults of any age.
ClearCorrect aligners are custom-fabricated, removable clear trays that gradually shift teeth into the prescribed position. They are changed on a regular schedule (typically every one to two weeks) as treatment progresses. ClearCorrect treatment at Red Rose Dentistry is planned, monitored, and completed by Dr. Khakani — a level of orthodontic oversight that distinguishes our aligner program from general dentists who offer basic aligner prescriptions without specialist training. An orthodontic assessment is the starting point for any patient considering aligner treatment. See our ClearCorrect Hamilton page for the complete overview.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the standard of care for replacing missing teeth in most clinical situations — preserving bone at the extraction site, maintaining adjacent tooth position, and providing a permanently fixed replacement that functions like a natural tooth. At Red Rose Dentistry, dental implant services for single missing teeth, multiple missing teeth, and implant-supported denture solutions are available without requiring referral to a specialist facility for most cases.
Implant planning at Red Rose Dentistry includes assessment of bone volume, health screening for implant candidacy, and coordination with our on-site registered denturist for implant-retained prosthetic planning when applicable. For Hamilton residents considering implants, the consultation at Red Rose Dentistry covers candidacy, the full sequence of treatment, what to expect during healing, and what the outcome will realistically look like for their specific case. See our dental implants page.
Dentures and Partial Dentures
Complete dentures, partial dentures, and implant-supported prosthetics are all provided on-site at Red Rose Dentistry by Michael Fijolek RD, our registered denturist. The availability of an on-site denturist within a general dental clinic is a significant service differentiator — it means Hamilton patients can transition from dental treatment to denture fitting to implant-retained prosthetic planning within a single clinical relationship, without navigating separate referrals. CDCP covers complete and partial dentures for eligible patients. For details, see our dentures Hamilton page.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment — the procedure that saves an infected or significantly damaged tooth from extraction — is available at Red Rose Dentistry for most tooth types. Root canals are performed on anterior teeth, premolars, and most molars in-house, with referral to an endodontist reserved for complex anatomy cases or retreatment situations that warrant specialist involvement. CDCP covers root canal treatment on eligible teeth for enrolled patients. For cost factors and what to expect, see our root canal cost guide for Hamilton.
Emergency Dental Care
Red Rose Dentistry provides same-day emergency appointments for Hamilton patients experiencing acute dental pain, dental abscesses, dental trauma, broken or fractured teeth, and other urgent dental situations. Emergency slots are reserved in each day’s schedule — calling the office at the start of business gives the best chance of same-day access. Saturday emergency appointments are also available. For new patients in acute pain, we accept emergency appointments from patients who are not existing patients of the practice. See our emergency dental page for full details.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options are available at Red Rose Dentistry for patients with significant dental anxiety or those undergoing longer or more complex procedures who prefer to minimize the subjective experience of the appointment. Sedation removes the barrier that anxiety creates for many Hamilton residents who have been deferring necessary care. See our sedation page for details on what is available and who is a candidate.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Red Rose Dentistry provides the full range of smile enhancement services at our Hamilton clinic: professional teeth whitening (custom trays and in-office treatment), porcelain and composite veneers, dental bonding for chips and minor reshaping, and comprehensive smile makeover planning that combines treatments into a single coordinated sequence. For cosmetic consultations, our team provides a complete assessment of what is achievable for the patient’s specific situation and a sequenced plan that gets the best result from the combination of treatments chosen. See our cosmetic dental page.
Canadian Dental Care Plan — CDCP at Red Rose Dentistry
Red Rose Dentistry is enrolled in the Canadian Dental Care Plan and accepts CDCP patients from Hamilton and all surrounding communities. We directly bill Sun Life on behalf of eligible patients — no upfront payment and no reimbursement process for covered services. Coverage applies at 100% (AFNI under $70K), 60% ($70K–$79K), or 40% ($80K–$89K). For the complete CDCP service list and how to verify your eligibility, see our CDCP guide for Hamilton.
