Tom Szarski Has Been Renewing Smiles for Over 20 Years — And His Family's Been in Dentistry for Four Generations
Tom is an award-winning Denturist who owns and operates Renew Implant Centre and Orléans Denture Clinic in Ottawa's east end. He graduated from George Brown College in 2003 at the top of his class, receiving the A.J. McGuire Award — and he hasn't slowed down since.
But credentials are just the beginning. What patients notice first is how Tom makes them feel. He listens. He explains things in plain English. He never rushes a consultation, never makes you feel judged for waiting, and never pressures you into a decision you're not ready to make.
Dentistry runs in Tom's blood — he's a fourth-generation dental professional. That heritage shows up in the way he approaches every case: with care, precision, and a deep respect for the craft.
Tom has been sitting on the Denturist Association of Ontario Board of Directors since 2017, and when he's not in the clinic, he and his wife Charlotte can usually be found enjoying the outdoors around Ottawa.
It's Not Just What He Does — It's How He Does It
He Listens First
Before Tom looks at your teeth, he listens to your story. What you've been through, what's been frustrating you, what you're hoping for. He believes the best treatment plans start with understanding the person — not just the problem.
He Tells You the Truth
No sugarcoating, no overselling. If something can be saved, he'll say so. If it can't, he'll explain why. And if you need time to think, he'll never rush you. What you'll always get from Tom is a straight answer.
He Treats You Like Family
Ask any long-time patient and they'll tell you — Renew doesn't feel like a clinic. It feels like walking into a place where people actually care. That's not by accident. That's Tom.
Dr. Alex Places the Implants — Right Here, in the Same Building
While Tom designs and fits your teeth, Dr. Alex handles the surgical side — placing implants with precision and care. Together, they form the "Tom/Alex team" that patients rave about in their reviews.
Having your surgeon and your denturist working side by side — in the same clinic, on the same day — is what makes Renew different. There's no referral chain, no miscommunication between offices, and no waiting weeks for someone to look at your case. It's one team, one plan, one result.
Your Teeth Are Designed and Crafted in Our Onsite Lab
Renew's sister clinic, Orléans Denture Clinic, operates a full onsite lab staffed by Registered Dental Technicians. The equipment includes a PM7 milling machine (renowned in the industry), Asiga Professional Series digital printers, and 3Shape scanners — all running a fully digital workflow.
What does that mean for you? No outsourcing. No waiting weeks for an outside lab. Your teeth are designed, milled, and fitted right here — by people who talk to Tom and Dr. Alex every single day. That's how we deliver same day results without cutting corners.
