Dr.Landon Pincombe

Dentist

"What I love most about my job is the opportunity to get to know my patients and use my skill set as a dentist to help others. I'm grateful for the strong team environment and dedication of each member of our clinic, because we can better serve our patients together."

Dr. Pincombe was born and raised in Saskatchewan. A natural interest in health sciences led to his graduating with great distinction from the University of Saskatchewan with both a Bachelor of Science in physiology (2003) and a Doctor of Dental Medicine (2007).

During dental school Dr. Pincombe was recognized with several notable awards:
  • The Dr. Kirk Johnston Spirit of Dentistry Memorial Award for enthusiasm, leadership, and humanitarianism
  • The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons Dental Student Award
  • The American Academy of Periodontology Student Award
  • The American Association of Oral Biologists Award
  • The Pierre Fauchard Academy Annual Scholarship Award (with his colleague Dr. C. Rabuka) for research on dental-pulp stem cells, which was presented at the Canadian Dental Association conference in 2007
Dr. Pincombe entered private practice in his hometown of Saskatoon prior to moving to Ottawa in 2008 to join the team at Carlingwood Dental. In 2016, the opportunity arose for him to succeed Dr. Cameron Ellis, who was retiring from practice in Carleton Place after more than 30 years. Drawn to the area’s strong sense of community and small-town values, he assumed ownership of the practice in January 2017. Dr. Pincombe has truly enjoyed his experience thus far, and hopes to make a lasting and meaningful contribution to the community and its residents over the years to come.

A desire to provide caring, comprehensive, and high-quality dentistry, and a commitment to lifelong learning has led Dr. Pincombe to pursue further education and advanced training in implant placement and restoration, periodontal surgery, oral surgery, bone grafting, root canal therapy, and Invisalign orthodontics. He is an active member of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario, the Ontario Dental Association, the Ottawa Dental Society, and the Canadian Dental Association.

Dr. Pincombe spends his time outside of dentistry enjoying the outdoors with his wife and their four young boys.
