  • Dr. Ben Vangalen

    A Collingwood local, originally from Orangeville, Dr. Ben travelled far and wide for his education, attending boarding school at St. Andrew’s College, undergraduate at the University of Guelph, and eventually attaining his Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from the prestigious New York University in Manhattan.

    In his free time, you can find him spending time with his lovable dogs Bella and “Slug” a massive bloodhound, with a face you just can’t help but love.

  • Dr. Robert Vangalen

    General Dentist

    Rob was raised in the Orangeville community and has been a resident here since 1973. Upon graduation from ODSS, he continued onto the University of Toronto where he received a Bachelors of Science Degree followed by his Doctorate in Dental Surgery.

    Rob returned to Orangeville to open his dental practice in 1994. He began with a single chair operatory in the Elizabeth Street medical building. In 1997 Rob purchased Fifth’s Avenue current home on 75 Fifth Avenue and began renovations to open a four operatory practice. Today Fifth Avenue has continued to grow and now operates as a six operatory practice, along with a surgery suite. Rob has successfully integrated an associate, a restorative hygiene program, and a general anaesthesia team into the practice.

    Rob is passionate about the advancements in modern dentistry. He has travelled across Canada and the United States and has achieved more than 3000 hours in continuing education. Rob is well versed in complex dentistry with his wealth of experience with orthodontics, implant dentistry, surgical procedures, and advanced cosmetic cases. In 2018 he implemented Cerec dentistry into the practice enabling our patients to have crowns completed and inserted in one day.

    Rob and his wife Deb have raised their four children in the Orangeville Community. They have been involved with numerous associations in the area over the years including Orangeville Soccer, Orangeville Minor Hockey, Orangeville Otters, Orangeville Tigers and the Northmen Lacrosse. Rob and Deb are eager to join in fundraising efforts without our community including the Food Bank and Family Transition Place.

    Rob spends his time out of the office beekeeping. His local honey has become a favourite to many. Rob and Deb are also avid hikers and can often be found on the Bruce Trail or the Credit Creek Conservation Trails.
