Dental Services

Children's & Family Dentistry

We welcome children, teens, adults, and seniors. Our family dentistry services include routine examinations and preventive treatments, as well as care for common dental problems at different stages of life.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening reduces stains and discolouration caused by food and everyday habits. Our team examines your teeth and recommends an appropriate whitening option.

Emergency Dental Care

Pape Dental Centre reserves time for emergency appointments and welcomes urgent cases from Leaside. Our emergency dental services include treatment for toothaches, chipped or fractured teeth, knocked-out teeth, swelling, and dental infections. We aim to see emergency patients on the same day during clinic hours.

Dental Implants

Dental implants replace missing teeth with restorations supported by titanium posts placed in the jawbone. We provide implant consultations and discuss suitable options for replacing one or more missing teeth.

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment addresses infection or inflammation inside a tooth. The procedure removes the affected pulp and cleans the root canals, then seals the tooth to help preserve it.

Checkups & Cleanings

Regular dental examinations help identify oral health concerns. We also provide professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing leave behind.

Wisdom Teeth & Oral Surgery

Wisdom teeth sometimes cause pain and infection, or problems with nearby teeth. Our dentists assess the position of your wisdom teeth and explain the available treatment options, including extraction when necessary.

Dentures

Dentures replace missing teeth and help restore chewing function. We provide denture care for patients who need partial or complete tooth replacement.

I was really nervous having a molar removed today. Dr Shahrbandi speaks so calmly which helps me relax. He talks you through the procedure while making sure you feel no pain, and before I knew it, it was over. I couldn’t believe how quick it and painless it was, I laughed in disbelief while asking if it was really over. He’s very caring. So happy he’s my dentist.

I can't say enough good things about this dental clinic! Ildi is my favourite hygienist! She is so gentle, empathetic, and truly caring. I used to never want to go for cleanings until I went to her. When she would inadvertently hit a sensitive spot (causing me to jump or tense up), she would stop and gently stroke my cheek. Super soothing. Then she would move on to next tooth, instead of acting as though I was being silly. Then there's Dr Sima. Such a gentle dentist! And so good at taking care of me and my teeth. Then there's dr Sasan. He has performed 2 extractions for me, and both times, upon completion, I was saying "what? That's it???" The needles for freezing are painless, for the most part (I'm extremely sensitive, if you haven't guessed), and extraction? Pulling teeth? Seriously 30 mins from freezing needle to out the door! And no pain! And the healing is so quick! I want to tell everyone to go t this dental clinic, while wanting to keep them all to myself. Because they are so excellent

Just had fillings done and this is the first time I could walk out of my appointment feeling like I didn’t have a procedure! Dr Sasan was so gentle and made me feel calm all the way through. Accompanied by excellent and friendly staff Laura helped me feel relaxed and like I was in safe hands (I get extremely nervous at the dentist) - and I was! Side note: Ildiko is an awesome hygienist! Thank you team!

Dr. Shahrbandi was amazing. Two very difficult teeth had to be removed, and he did successfully with no pain! Absolutely no pain, and he was very kind and compassionate. If you need dental work he is the best choice. You will be happy! 😃

I had a wisdom tooth extraction, and I can’t thank my dentist ( Dr. Sasan ) enough for how smoothly everything went. The tooth was in bad shape and difficult to remove, but Dr. Sasan was incredibly skilled, calm, and patient throughout the entire procedure. He made sure I was comfortable at every step and constantly checked to ensure I wasn’t feeling any pain. His gentle and reassuring approach made a stressful situation so much easier. I really appreciated how professional yet kind he was the whole time. If you’re nervous about dental procedure, I highly recommend this clinic and Dr.Sasan . You’ll be in very capable and caring hands! I also had a great experience with my dental hygienists ( Rose and also Hengameh) . They were both kind, calm, and very gentle, which made the whole appointments comfortable and stress-free. They were also highly professional and attentive. I truly appreciated their care.
