DR. Trevor Shew
Dr. Shew joined Broadway Station Dental Centre in June 2002. After publishing six papers in scientific journals; he was on his way to receiving a Ph.

Dr. Shew believes in education, patient-based dentistry and a multi-disciplinary approach to dentistry. He believes in talking to and getting to know his patients. He enjoys educating people and asks his patients to take an active role in managing their dental health and treatment decisions.
Dr. Shew believes it is important to explore the many aspects available in Modern Dentistry: esthetics, crown and bridge, endodontic therapy, orthodontics, periodontal therapy and implant dentistry in the development of a comprehensive treatment plan in restoring one’s oral health.
A dedicated professional, Dr. Shew enjoys spending 20-30 hours per month on continuing education.
