A holistic approach is adopted while treating patients by the caring dental team at this clinic located at Yonge Street in Toronto. Safe and effective technologies, techniques and materials are used for the long term dental and oral health and wellbeing of patients. Prevention and minimal intervention is the philosophy of the team. Services at the clinic include examinations and hygiene services, ozone based decay treatments, mercury free restorations, children’s dentistry, teeth straightening for children and adult orthodontics using Invisalign clear aligners, treatments for sleep disorders, cosmetic care and implant dentistry.
Having graduated from Dentistry in 1977 from the University of Toronto, I was fascinated with how the health of the body was reflected in the mouth.My interest in dentistry stemmed from my fear of dentists. I chose the profession of dentistry because I was determined to overcome my fear of dentistry and help others. The more I learned about the art and science the more my fears diminished. I believe that our clients need to be provided with significant information about their mouth and the various options that are available to them so that we can co-diagnose and co-explore the different opportunities together.
