Northern Horizon Dental Barrie

Dr. Sorichetti completed her Bachelor of Science in Biology degree at the University of Waterloo and then went on to complete two Master’s degrees (Master of Science followed by Master of Biomedical Engineering, University of Western Ontario). Dr. Sorichetti’s research findings of how salivary proteins can be used to predict and control oral diseases resulted in multiple first author publications in top dental journals. Dr. Sorichetti was given the opportunity to study dentistry in Australia at James Cook University. She enjoyed the sunshine as she completed clinical rotations at three different dental clinics across Queensland. Dr. Sorichetti’s personal dental philosophy is built entirely around a patient-centred approach, where she considers patients’ best interests and designs patient-specific dental treatment for patients of all ages. In her spare time, Dr. Sorichetti enjoys travelling with her husband and spending time with her family.

Dr. Daniel Sullivan received his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Western Ontario, and graduated with distinction. Before attending Western, he received his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Dalhousie University, 2 hours from where he grew up in New Brunswick. Dr. Sullivan takes pride in helping his patients achieve their aesthetic and functional needs, whatever they may be, and believes in a team-orientated approach that includes the patient’s wishes and input at the forefront. In his spare time, Daniel likes to golf, stay active at the gym, try new restaurants, and of course catch up on TV shows!

Dr. Dickson Kong was born and raised in Richmond Hill, Ontario, and after discovering an interest in biology in high school, decided to pursue a career in health care.

I graduated first class honours with distinction in Biology at York University. I continued with my studies at the University of Western Ontario dental school, where I received the General Medicine award and graduated with honours in 2016.

After graduating, I was fortunate enough to work with and receive mentorship from many Dentistry mentors (including Dr. Dove).

I spent the first few years practicing in Kirkland Lake and Napanee. Similar to the community here in Barrie, these communities were non-fluoridated, leading to a great demand for care. My experience working in Kirkland Lake and Napanee reinforced the importance of chairside manners when caring for my patients. I understand that anxiety is often a barrier for people seeking care, which motivated me to obtain my certification in nitrous and oral moderate sedation to provide the most comfortable dental experience for my patient.

I am constantly trying to broaden my knowledge and skills in Dentistry and continue to invest time in continuing my education. This includes completing courses like implant training, where I had the opportunity to learn directly from a top Periodontist at the University of Toronto. One of my current areas of interest is Invisalign, enabling me to improve my patients’ smiles with the latest digital technology.

Outside of Dentistry, I am admittedly a huge geek. I love reading news about the latest technology and gadgets. There is a possibility that I get as many questions from my friends about smartphone recommendations as I do about Dentistry. Between staying up to date with the latest dentistry and technology, my lovely wife Tracy and I love binge-watching TV shows and trying out new restaurants.
