La Vita Dental Centre
About Our Kitsilano Dental Clinic
Warm, fun, friendly, and non-judgemental – these are the qualities we aspire to at la vita dental centre. Our goal is to offer you dentistry from a happy place, and our group of high-energy dental professionals and support staff takes that goal seriously. These qualities and goals aren’t just words to us, they are a mantra we infuse into every aspect of your dental experience with us. Experiences such as our comprehensive new patient exam, that includes both an iTero® scan and dedicated one-on-one time with one of our dentists for you to discuss your dental dreams and concerns. The iTero scan is a detailed 3D scan that is used to track your teeth’s movement over time, educate you and your dental team about the condition of your teeth, and has the added bonus of being useful by preparing you for Invisalign® should you ever want to straighten your teeth using their clear aligners.
Meet Your Kitsilano Dentists and Support Staff
Dr. Lindsay Flumerfelt
Dr. Flumerfelt attained her BSc in Kinesiology from SFU. While she was studying she worked in various positions in offices, some of which were dental offices. Being able to see the “behind-the-scenes” action made her fall in love with dentistry and decide to pursue and obtain her DDS from UBC. Now, she is a member of the British Columbia Dental Association and the Vancouver and District Dental Society.
Dr. Flumerfelt is a Gold Plus Invisalign Provider. Learn more.

Your Kitsilano Neighbourhood Dental Clinic
Our team at la vita dental centre are all Kitsilano residents and neighbours. We live, eat, and shop locally, supporting other local Kitsilano businesses. Our sense of community is important to us, and we work every day to remind ourselves of how amazing this place is, how fortunate we are to live and work here, and how warm and friendly the people of Kitsilano are to work with.
Kitsilano is a special place. From the beaches to W 16th, from Burrard to Alma, Kitsilano is a melting pot of cultures and people. Just walk a block down West 4th in either direction and you will get an idea of the Kits lifestyle. A rich mosaic of high-end boutiques and wonderful family-owned diners and unique eateries. All of this anchored with foundational businesses like Whole Foods, Safeway, and if we may say so our own little local Kitsilano dental clinic.
Feel free to drop in and meet us, any time. We’re always happy to meet our neighbours, and we enjoy sharing the Kits lifestyle. And if you ask us where to eat, you’ll definitely get suggestions. With so much variety in the neighbourhood, it may not be an easy decision, but it’s always a fun conversation. That’s the Kitsilano lifestyle we love so much.
