SmileTown Dentistry Embraces Willoughby

We recently had the chance to check in with Dr. Karim Kanani, who along with Dr. Diya Chadha are dentists at the new SmileTown Dentistry office at Willoughby Town Centre.

Born and raised in the Lower Mainland, Dr. Kanani shared that when he first found out about Willoughby Town Centre, he was very excited. He likes that it is a beautiful, new complex with many retail outlets and is well maintained. He also likes that everyone he has met has been very friendly and welcoming. He knew this would be the perfect location for a dental office specifically catered to children and teens.  Not only does the neighborhood have a very strong community which is important to him, it is also in an area with tremendous growth and development.

When it comes to dental care for children, there is no “one size fits all” method. They understand that some children are more anxious than others in a dental setting and need more time to adjust. Their goal is to give your child the most memorable experience possible, in a comforting environment. Aside from the basic preventive services, they also offer additional services to help alleviate discomfort and keep your child at ease. These include Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas), oral conscious sedation and general anesthesia in a private surgery center. SmileTown Dentistry wants what is best for your child and  will work together, with you to make that happen.

Willoughby Notary Public – Shergill Notary

We got a chance to catch up with Balbir (Brenda) Shergill recently. It was a pleasure learning more about her and her Willoughby Notary Public business, Shergill Notary which she has opened in Willoughby Town Centre. With all of the bustling activity happening in the area, we know that having a skilled Notary Public just around the corner is hugely beneficial to our community.

pictureBrenda started her journey to become a notary public seven years ago when she returned to school to finish her degree and then her Masters degree, which are the requirements to become a BC Notary Public.

We asked Brenda to explain what a BC Notary Public can do, and we were impressed by all the services that can be provided.  In addition to the traditional services notaries are known to provide, Notaries in BC can process the transfer of property. This includes buying, selling, and refinancing property.

BC Notaries can also prepare your Personal Planning documents which include Wills, Powers of Attorney, Representations Agreements, and Advance Directives (formerly known as a Living Will).

Here are a few tips that Brenda provided regarding Wills:

Who should have a Will?

  • *Anyone who has assets;
  • *Anyone who is married;
  • *Anyone who has kids – minor, adults, and disabled kids; and
  • *Anyone who has a blended family.

 What happens if a person dies without a Will?

  • *Someone has to apply to court to get appointed as an Administrator;
  • *Legislation sets out who will get your estate and how much they will get;
  • *The government will decide who will take care of your minor/disabled children; and
  • *YOU DO NOT HAVE CONTROL!

What is a Power of Attorney (POA) and why should I have one?

  • *POA authorizes another person to deal with your legal and financial matters
  • *A POA is used in the event you need someone to make financial and legal decisions for you. This could be because you are not available (e.g. temporarily absent from the area) or incapable of making decisions (e.g. in a coma).
