About Our Dentistry at Frederick Team

We’re so pleased to welcome you to our dental office in Kitchener. But first, get to know the faces behind Dentistry at Frederick!

Our Story

Dentistry at Frederick is more than just another dental office in Kitchener –  we’ve been a trusted partner in the oral health journey of countless Kitchener families. What began as Dr. Almeida’s vision to provide gentle, comprehensive dental care has grown into a practice where multiple generations say they feel comfortable, cared for, and confident in their smiles.

Located in the heart of Kitchener on Frederick Street, our practice has witnessed the growth and changes in our beloved community while maintaining our core commitment: treating every patient like family.
