A cosmetic procedure that removes stains and discoloration from tooth enamel using bleaching agents, resulting in a brighter, whiter smile. Available as in-office treatments or take-home kits.

Titanium posts surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They fuse with the bone over time and support a crown, bridge, or denture. Offering a permanent, natural-looking solution.

Used to restore teeth damaged by cavities or minor fractures. The decayed material is removed and the tooth is filled with composite resin or other restorative materials to restore its shape and function.

Custom-made caps placed over a tooth that is damaged or heavily restored, rebuilding its shape and strength. Often used after a root canal or to protect a cracked tooth.



A full-mouth periodontal examination is part of a comprehensive oral exam and is also recommended if signs of gum disease are observed during regular oral check-ups.

Comprehensive oral examinations are a part of preventive dentistry where we focus on thorough evaluation and detection of oral and dental health issues at an early stage.

Oral cancer can develop anywhere in your mouth. Common areas include the lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, the palate or throat.

Normal activities like biting and chewing, along with habits such as teeth grinding, can contribute to tooth wear, jaw discomfort, and other dental problems when the teeth or jaws are not properly aligned.

Regular dental cleaning can help protect your teeth from decay, preserving strength. Cleanings using professional tools also remove deposits that have accumulated, helping keep your gums healthy.

Many dental problems can be reduced through good oral hygiene and preventive care. Tooth decay, receding gums, foul breath, and many other dental problems result from making poor dietary choices and from not following a proper dental care routine.

These images capture details of your mouth’s structures, helping diagnose tooth decay, cavities between teeth, bone loss related to gum disease, infection, impacted wisdom teeth and other abnormalities.

Complete (full) dentures are removable and are made when the patient has no existing teeth. Partial dentures can be made when the patient has some existing, healthy, natural teeth to support the denture.

Just like grown-ups, your kids and even toddlers also require dental checkups and cleanings done periodically.



Thin custom shells bonded to the front of the teeth to cover stains, chips, or gaps. Veneers cover a range of cosmetic concerns at once and give the front teeth an even, natural look.
A toothache or a broken filling can happen to anyone in the house, and dental pain rarely waits for a convenient time. As your family dentist on the Danforth, we keep urgent appointments open during the week for children, teens, adults, and seniors who need to be seen fast.

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.
It is recommended that you visit your dentist for a checkup and cleaning every six months. Regular visits help detect dental issues early, ensure prompt treatment, and maintain optimal oral health.
You can whiten your teeth through professional dental treatments such as in-office bleaching or take-home whitening kits provided by your dentist. Over-the-counter whitening products are also available but may not be as effective.
Yes, we accept most dental insurance plans. However, it’s best to check with our office to confirm if your specific plan is accepted and to understand the coverage details.
You should start taking your child to see the dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. Early visits help monitor dental development and establish good oral hygiene habits.
Prepare your child for visiting the dentist by discussing what to expect in a positive manner, reading dental-themed books, and scheduling a tour of the dental office. Familiarizing them with the environment can help reduce anxiety.
Children should have routine dental checkups every six months. Regular visits help track their dental development, prevent cavities, and instill good oral hygiene habits from an early age.
Cavities are caused by tooth decay resulting from plaque buildup on the teeth. Plaque produces acids that erode tooth enamel, especially when oral hygiene is poor, and sugar consumption is high.
Dental X-rays are important because they help in diagnosing problems not visible during a regular dental exam. They can reveal cavities, impacted teeth, bone loss, and other issues, ensuring comprehensive dental care.
Rinse your mouth with warm water and save any pieces you can find. A cold compress on the cheek helps with swelling. Call us so we can check the tooth before the damage gets worse.
