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. Graduating in the top of his class with OK honours, Dr. Ben is our clinical Swiss Army Knife, with training in orthodontics, Invisalign, Root Canal Therapy, Crown, Bridge and veneer work, oral Surgery, Implantology and more.

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.

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 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.

Preserve your oral health

Dental Implants in Collingwood

Missing teeth don’t have to stand in the way of a healthy, confident smile. Dental implants can help restore both the look and function of your smile, so you’ll want to show it off.

When paired with restorations like crowns or dentures, dental implants provide a lasting solution for replacing missing teeth, bringing back the natural look and function of your smile.

They also offer long-term benefits by helping to prevent issues like bone loss and other complications that can develop when teeth are missing.
