Meet the Team at Cowan Heights Dental Centre

Mon - Thur: 8:30AM - 4:30PM Fri: 8:30AM - 12:00PM Dr. Batten was born and raised in St. John’s, NL. He graduated from Prince of Wales Collegiate and continued on to Dalhousie University, completing his Doctorate of Dentistry in 1993. He moved back to St. John’s and practiced at a local dental clinic for the next 7 years. In 2000, Dr. Batten along with Dr. Paul Lutz opened Cowan Heights Dental Centre. Dr. Batten is a strong advocate for continuing education. He feels it is the only way to enable him the ability to offer patients the most up-to-date dentistry while providing the highest quality of care. He has completed the Core 1-7 neuromuscular program at the Las Vegas Global Institute, advanced training in CEREC CAD/CAM dentistry and implantology. He utilizes the most current technological equipment, such as chair side ceramics by CEREC, digital impression, noise reducing electric hand pieces and digital x-ray and photos to name a few. Dr. Batten is past president of the Newfoundland and Labrador Dental Association and during that time was a strong supporter of early childhood and parent education as key to prevention of future dental disease. He is also a member of the NLDA, CDA. His philosophy has always been to offer the best treatment in the most efficient and pain free manner possible. Dr. Batten and his wife Jackie still live in St. John’s, and when he's not practicing dentistry, you can find them at their cabin or in hockey rinks near and far supporting their two boys.
