About us
Modern dentistry, rooted in community.
Meet Dr. Rene Chiasson and the values behind C2C Dental, a new Vancouver clinic built on trust, access and care with intention.
Coast to coast
From the Atlantic shore to the Pacific coast.
Dr. Chiasson grew up in New Brunswick, in a family of fishermen who taught him the value of education, hard work and community. He still loves fishing, but a passion for science and art guided him toward dentistry, and eventually all the way across the country to Vancouver.
His ambitions grew quickly on the West Coast: he bought his first dental clinic at 28 and has spent the past decade serving the community and promoting better oral health. C2C Dental is the next chapter, a new clinic dedicated to high-quality, modern, patient-centred care for a new Vancouver community.
Away from the clinic you'll find him travelling, exploring new cultures and places, and seeking out great food wherever he goes.

About Dr. Chiasson
A surgical focus, a whole-person approach.
Dr. Rene Chiasson, DMD
Founder & dentist
Dr. Rene Chiasson earned his Doctorate of Dental Medicine at Université Laval in Quebec City in 2011, then moved to Vancouver to begin his career. From the very start he was drawn to the surgical side of dentistry, which led him to implant training under Dr. Mark Kwan, a respected implant clinician whose mentorship shaped his long-standing passion for implant dentistry.
Over the years he has expanded his surgical work to include gum surgery and wisdom-tooth extractions. He is proud to serve at Mid Main Community Health Centre, a non-profit where he provides surgical care, including implants, to a diverse and often marginalized patient population. Accessible dentistry is a core part of who he is as a clinician.
More recently, his interest has grown toward occlusion: the foundation of how teeth, muscles and joints work together. He has pursued advanced continuing education in occlusion, bite disorders and TMD, and he brings modern technology and evidence-based techniques into his daily practice. Above all, he takes the time to understand each patient's needs, so care is delivered with genuine intention and attention.
