Meet Dr. Nathan Nieviadomy in Carleton Place

Caring for you as he would care for his own family is at the forefront of everything Dr. Nathan Nieviadomy does as a dentist in Carleton Place. He loves connecting with people and learning what’s important to you. After getting to know you, Dr. Nieviadomy will work with you to help you find and keep your best oral health and most beautiful smile. Supporting our community and those who are less fortunate are important to Dr. Nieviadomy, so he supports local sports teams and offers free dental days to those in need.

Growing up in Weyburn, SK, Dr. Nieviadomy always knew he wanted to pursue a medical career because he wanted to help people. What decided his direction was that dentistry allows him to work with his hands while making a positive impact on the lives of others. Dr. Nieviadomy earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from the University of Saskatchewan in 2006. His commitment to continuing education brought him (and us!) an added bonus! While attending an orthodontics conference in 2014, he met his now-wife and practice partner, Dr. Jennifer Silva – which also brought him to Carleton Place!

Meet Dr. Jennifer Silva in Carleton Place

Dr. Jennifer Silva knows how precious family is and is devoted to treating your family members as though they are her own. Taking a preventive approach is her priority and Dr. Silva will spend whatever time is needed to understand your goals and to give you the oral health education you want so you can keep your smile healthy and bright.

Dr. Silva grew up in Ottawa and has always loved the small-town vibe of Carleton Place. So much so that when she met Dr. Nieviadomy at an orthodontics conference in Toronto, she convinced him to pack up his car and move here from Saskatchewan! Spending time with Dr. Nieviadomy and their two children Kaden and Lincoln is Dr. Silva’s greatest joy outside of dentistry. When she’s not hiking, swimming, biking, and exploring nature with her family, Dr. Silva enjoys snowboarding, cooking, listening to music, and travelling.

Meet Dr. David Stevenson in Carleton Place

Since 1986, Dr. David Stevenson has been helping your neighbours find and keep their most confident and healthy smile. While helping you maintain your oral and overall health, Dr. Stevenson will take the time to understand your unique needs so he can give you choices between the many ways he can address your concerns. With his focus on the prevention of disease and maintaining healthy function, getting to know you – both as an individual with unique oral healthcare needs and on a personal level – is Dr. Stevenson’s favourite part of dentistry.

Growing up in a small community north west of Toronto, Dr. Stevenson wanted to live and work in a small community and Carleton Place has afforded him and his wife a wonderfully balanced life. Though retired now, his wife, Dr. Rita Trinka, was an important part of his dental practice for 25 years. Together they enjoy spending as much time as possible enjoying the outdoors around Lanark County. They share their lives with their four-legged family – two dogs, two horses, and a cat. Although retired, Dr. Rita is as eager to collaborate with Dr. Stevenson today as she was in the years they practiced together.

Since earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Toronto in 1989, Dr. Stevenson has continually shown his dedication to the field – both by bringing new advances to his practice and as former president of the Ontario Dental Association. In the 25 years he practised with his wife, Dr. Stevenson enjoyed learning all he could from their collaborative relationship.
