№ 01 Our story
Two owners. Fifty-plus years. One town.
Dr. Graham Horton established Armstrong Dental in 1972 and practiced here until it was sold to Dr. Preethi Trussell in 2010. She is only the second owner of this dental legacy.
That kind of continuity is rare, and it shows: the practice has the honour of providing dental care to three and four generations of the same families. The team is always laughing and smiling to help you feel welcome. Patients notice, and they say so.

From my first appointment, meeting Dr. Preethi Trussell and the other wonderful women that work there, I knew that I was at the right place. I never once experienced pain. The atmosphere in this clinic is upbeat, happy, with a lot of laughing. My teeth are beautiful and I no longer cover my mouth when I laugh.
All of my children love Dr. Trussell, and we are so thankful that she is our dentist. She is so kind and really cares about her patients.
Everyone is so nice at this dental office! Very efficient and helpful! Very clean and they take pride in their work.
