Westbrook Dental Group was established in October 1990 by Dr. George Cadigan.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.

Among his most notable achievements, Dr. Lawal has been the recipient of the Top Dentist in Manitoba Award in 2018.

On a more personal note, he has dedicated his life to delivering quality and compassionate care, and attributes his success to love of the profession. In his free time, he enjoys playing and watching soccer.
