Dental Implantology Center of Quebec - Teams
Dr. Yvan Fortin and his team
Dr Fortin has devoted his practice to dental implantology since 1992 and founded the Centre d’Implantologie dentaire de Québec in 1993. Since then, his practice has continued to grow.
Dr. Fortin owes his success in part to his handpicked, extremely skilled, and highly experienced dental professionals:
- 2 part-time dentists
- 3 dental hygienists
- 3 dental assistants
- 3 dental secretaries
He also relies on the invaluable cooperation of two people who ensure that everything runs like clockwork at the Centre: Mary de Torres, Director of the Quebec City and Montreal clinics, and Alain Daoust, Coordinator.
