Landmark Dental Care

About Landmark

Quality family and restorative dentistry in a warm Victorian-style home setting.

About

Dental care with a sense of place.

Our office is located in the heart of Truro in a Victorian Queen Anne style centre home. We are a family general dental practice. Restorative dentistry is a special area of interest.

The practice was originally developed by Dr. Gordon Kenney in 1974 on Young Street and moved his office to the present location at 125 Queen Street. Upon Dr. Kenney’s retirement in 1994, the practice was then taken over by Dr. John Gourley, and eventually by Dr. Peter Thompson.

Since 1997, we have created a hygiene department, modernized our equipment, and expanded our facility to a comfortable and state-of-the-art dental office.
