About Vulcan Dental Clinic
Local dentistry with deep roots in the community.
Vulcan Dental Clinic combines comprehensive general dentistry, modern technology and a practical, patient-focused approach to care.
Our story
Built to serve Vulcan and the surrounding area.
Dr. Mike McKee began working at Vulcan Dental Clinic in 2014 and later purchased the practice that same year. In 2019, the clinic moved into its current purpose-built location at 95 Centre Street East.
The goal has remained straightforward: provide comprehensive dental care close to home, make treatment options easier to understand and continue improving the technology and services available to patients in Vulcan County.
Whether you are here for preventive care, a broken or painful tooth, restorative treatment, implants, clear aligners or help managing dental anxiety, we want the next step to feel clear and manageable.
How we work
Practical care, explained clearly.
Explain the options
When there is more than one reasonable approach, we discuss the trade-offs before you decide what feels right.
Use technology thoughtfully
Digital X-rays, 3D imaging, scanning and intraoral cameras are used when they add meaningful information to diagnosis or treatment planning.

He enjoys all aspects of general dentistry and has completed extensive continuing education in orthodontics. Over the years he has helped many children and families, provided denture care and treated a broad range of everyday dental needs.
Dr. Thordarson and his wife, Rose, now live on an acreage near Brant, where they are enjoying semi-retirement and raising sheep. His long background in rural practice makes him a natural fit for the Vulcan community.
