Family Dentist in
Hamilton, ON

Dr. Tabesh has been serving downtown Hamilton for 17 years. In October 2025, Family Dentistry on Locke opened at 101 Locke St S — a new, state-of-the-art facility right in the heart of the neighbourhood. Same team, same hygienists most of our patients know by name.
Family Dentistry on Locke is a high-end family dental practice in downtown Hamilton. We see adults, kids, and seniors. We provide exceptional care across a wide range of dental needs — and when a case calls for a specialist, we work closely with trusted local specialists to make sure you get the right outcome.

Three dentists, one location

That range of care is possible because of how we built the team.

Dr. Shahab Tabesh

(B.Sc, DDS, University of Toronto 2008) founded the practice. His focus is implants, veneers, and complex restorative cases: the kind that require more than a single visit and more than a basic toolkit. He's completed over 250 hours of continuing education since graduating and holds a fellowship with the ICOI.

Doctor of Dental Surgery in Hamilton Ontario

Dr. Nyresa Alves

(B.Sc, M.Sc, DDS, University of Toronto 2013) brings a master's in neuroscience to everyday dental care. She sees adults and children and is particularly known for putting nervous patients at ease. Patients who thought they hated the dentist tend to come back to Dr. Alves.

Dr. Henrique Bueno

(DDS) trained in São Paulo in 1995 and has been in Ontario since 2014. He holds credentials from the NDEB, RCDSO, and ODA. His focus is high-end restorative care and biomimetic dentistry — an approach that restores teeth using materials and techniques that closely mimic natural tooth structure.

What we treat

When your family’s care requires a specialist beyond what our team covers, we refer to trusted local specialists — so you always get the right level of care, not just the most convenient one.

What Our Patients Say

We’re rated 4.7 stars across 58 Google reviews. A few things show up consistently: the team explains what’s happening before and during every procedure. The office is clean and well-equipped. There’s a blanket if you want one during treatment, and complimentary chapstick after. Patients mention they feel looked after, not processed.

We’ve had patients come in for over a decade. They bring their children. Some of those children are now bringing their own kids. That’s the kind of practice we’ve built on Locke St.

We’re LGBTQ+ friendly.

Why patients in Hamilton choose us

Three things separate us from other practices in the area.

First

Our three dentists bring distinct, high-level expertise. Dr. Tabesh handles complex implant and restorative cases. Dr. Alves covers full-family care and is especially known for putting nervous patients at ease. Dr. Bueno focuses on high-end restorative and biomimetic dentistry. When specialist care is the right call, we work closely with the best in the area to make sure your outcome is right.

Second

Dr. Tabesh has been serving downtown Hamilton for 17 years. Family Dentistry on Locke opened in October 2025, but the roots in this community run deep. We're not a chain. There's no rotating roster of dentists you haven't met. When you come in, you're a patient, not a chart.

Third

Anxious patients are genuinely welcome. If you've avoided the dentist for years, we've seen that before. Dr. Alves and the whole team are practiced at working with patients who need a slower pace or more explanation. We don't rush.
