Gentle Smile Dental has been a trusted part of the Coquitlam community since the late 1990s — built on a foundation of honest, compassionate, patient-first care.
For more than 25 years, Gentle Smile Dental has been providing comprehensive family dental care to patients across Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities area.
We believe that great dental care starts with listening. Every patient is different, and we take the time to understand your needs, concerns, and goals before recommending any treatment.
Experienced, compassionate, and genuinely committed to your comfort at every visit.
Dr. Magda S. Hinta was born and raised in Romania and acquired her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Later, she relocated to British Columbia and has been proudly serving smiles at our clinic since 2008.
Providing oral health care that patients can trust in a friendly, welcoming environment is the foundation of Dr. Hinta's clinical methodology. Helping patients stay healthy, functional, and happy with the appearance of their teeth is her priority at every visit.
With a strong focus on maintaining a healthy oral system, care is centered on prevention, restorative success, and personalized treatment planning to support long-term confidence and overall well-being. When she's not in the office, Dr. Hinta loves exploring the outdoors, gardening, and reading.
Dr. Shubh Gill grew up in India and earned her doctorate there before completing the rigorous certification process with The National Dental Examining Board of Canada. She began practicing dentistry in BC in 2016 and has been proudly serving families in Coquitlam ever since.
Creating positive and relaxed dental visits is at the heart of Dr. Gill's approach to care. With her warm, attentive demeanour and a love for learning, she focuses on fostering experiences that are rooted in trust, comfort, and open communication.
Passionate about serving her community, Dr. Gill does everything she can to ensure that each person in her care feels valued, respected, and prioritized throughout every appointment. When she's not caring for patients, Dr. Gill enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters.
Supporting our doctors is a team of dedicated, compassionate dental professionals. From the moment you connect with us, our goal is to help you feel at ease, informed, and confident in your care.
