Mercato Dental Centre

Mercato Dental Centre, also known as Smile on the Drive, has been a family-run fixture in Vancouver’s Little Italy for nearly 40 years.

Led by the father-and-son team of Dr. Steve and Dr. Bayan Mottahed, the practice combines decades of clinical experience with a deep-rooted commitment to the local community.

The clinic is designed to accommodate the busy lifestyles of East Vancouver residents, offering extended evening and Saturday hours alongside multilingual services in French, Japanese, Korean, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.

The practice provides a full spectrum of oral healthcare, ranging from preventative general dentistry to advanced cosmetic and restorative treatments like Invisalign, crowns, and dental implants.

By integrating modern technology such as iTero and CBCT scanners, the team ensures precise diagnostics and personalized treatment planning for every patient.

With a focus on accessibility through direct billing and a welcoming environment for those with dental anxiety, the clinic continues to support the long-term health and confidence of families across the neighborhood.
