About Prairie Wren Family Dental

A dental office in a house, on purpose.

Dr. Maya Sorensen opened Prairie Wren in 2009 in a 1912 brick house on Wrenfield Street. She wanted an office that felt like visiting a neighbour, not a clinic in a strip mall.

The house is still the point. The front room is the waiting room, the old dining room is where we talk through your plan, and the porch bench is where kids wait for their parents.

We are two general dentists, a dental hygienist and an office manager. Most of our patients live within a few streets, and a lot of them bring their kids, and then their kids' kids.
