Meet Dr. Grace Richardson
Dr. Richardson treats patients between her two offices located in the towns of Stellarton and Antigonish. She relocated to the area to raise her two daughters because she valued the sense of connection and fellowship in these communities. After a brief teaching career Dr. Richardson went back to school to study Dentistry in Halifax, excelling at Dalhousie and graduating at the top of her class with numerous awards. She studied Orthodontics at Marquette University in Wisconsin and maintains friendships and professional relationships with her colleagues there and throughout Canada and the United States. An Orthodontist with over 25 years of experience, Dr. Richardson is passionate about learning and proudly continues to implement the newest advances in technology to make the patient experience and outcome world class. She and her husband are dog walking enthusiasts and Dr. Richardson is a life-long supporter of the North Nova SPCA. In 2024, she was bestowed the Nova Scotia Dental Association Community Service Award for an outstanding contribution to her community. Patients choose Dr. Richardson because they know that she and her team have a reputation for delivering compassionate care and delivering exceptional results.
