Dr. James Liang
I grew up in the Greater Toronto Area and earned my Bachelor of Medical Science degree in Physiology and Pharmacology from the University of Western Ontario before completing my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Toronto. During my dental training, I was honoured to receive the William R. Jackson Award for Excellence in Clinical Prosthodontics.
I am committed to providing comprehensive, personalized dental care and take pride in helping patients feel comfortable throughout their treatment. I believe in educating my patients about all of their treatment options so they can make informed decisions with confidence. To expand the care I provide, I have pursued additional training in oral surgery, implant dentistry, root canal therapy, and Invisalign treatment. I am a member of the Ontario Dental Association and the Canadian Dental Association, and I am licensed by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario.

When I’m not practicing dentistry, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, staying active, and following my favourite sports teams.

When I’m not helping my patients achieve their healthiest smiles, you can almost always find me planning my next big adventure. I’m a lifelong skier, an ocean lover, and a major foodie who loves exploring different cultures through their cuisine.

I always bring a bright, warm energy and a great sense of humour to every appointment, and I can’t wait to meet you at your next visit!
