Village Dental

Village Dental uses tooth-coloured composite resin fillings to treat cavities and repair minor tooth damage in a way that blends seamlessly with the natural tooth. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, white fillings are matched to the shade of each patient's enamel, resulting in a restoration that is virtually invisible during normal conversation and smiling. This aesthetic advantage, combined with the material's ability to bond directly to the tooth structure, makes composite fillings a popular choice for patients of all ages. Beyond appearance, white fillings at Village Dental also require less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to amalgam alternatives, which helps preserve more of the natural tooth. The procedure is straightforward and typically completed in a single appointment, making it convenient for busy families and working adults in the Chemainus area. The clinic's dentists take care to ensure the bite is perfectly aligned after placement, providing a comfortable and durable result that supports long-term oral health.

Village Dental provides bone grafting procedures to restore adequate bone volume in the jaw for patients who require additional support before receiving dental implants or following tooth extractions. Bone loss in the jaw can occur as a result of gum disease, trauma, infection, or the natural resorption that follows tooth loss, and grafting helps rebuild this foundation so that implants can be placed securely. The dentists at Village Dental carefully evaluate bone density and volume using imaging prior to recommending a grafting procedure. The bone grafting process at Village Dental is performed with precision and with the patient's comfort as a top priority, using appropriate anesthesia and post-operative care instructions to support healthy healing. Recovery times vary depending on the extent of the graft, and the team monitors progress closely before proceeding to the implant placement phase. By addressing bone deficiencies proactively, Village Dental helps patients achieve more predictable, stable, and long-lasting implant outcomes.

Village Dental provides custom dental crowns to restore the strength, function, and appearance of teeth that have been weakened by decay, fracture, large fillings, or root canal treatment. Crowns are tooth-shaped caps that fit over the entire visible portion of a damaged tooth, providing durable protection while blending naturally with the surrounding teeth. The clinic's investment in CAD/CAM technology means that many patients can receive their permanent crown in a single appointment, eliminating the need for temporary restorations and multiple visits. Dr. Hassanein and Dr. Mottaghi carefully match each crown's material, shape, and shade to the patient's natural dentition, prioritizing both aesthetics and long-term durability. A range of crown materials is available including porcelain, zirconia, and porcelain-fused-to-metal, with the most appropriate option selected based on the location of the tooth and the patient's specific needs. With proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups, a well-placed crown from Village Dental can protect a compromised tooth for many years.

Village Dental offers dental sealants as a simple and effective preventative treatment for children, protecting the chewing surfaces of back teeth from cavities before they have a chance to develop. Sealants are thin, plastic coatings applied to the grooves and pits of molars and premolars, areas that are especially prone to decay because they are difficult to clean thoroughly with a toothbrush. The application process is quick, painless, and does not require any drilling or removal of tooth structure. At Village Dental, preventative sealants are part of a broader commitment to helping young patients establish healthy oral habits and protect their teeth during the cavity-prone childhood years. Studies show that sealants can reduce the risk of cavities in back teeth by a significant margin, making them a highly cost-effective investment in long-term dental health. Parents in the Chemainus area are encouraged to ask about sealants during their child's routine appointments to take advantage of this proactive protection.

Fluoride treatments at Village Dental provide an important layer of protection against tooth decay for children and adults in Etobicoke by strengthening enamel and making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugar. Applied quickly and painlessly during regular check-up appointments, professional fluoride varnish or gel treatments deliver a concentrated dose of fluoride that far exceeds what is found in toothpaste or tap water. The dentists at Village Dental recommend fluoride treatments for patients of all ages who are at moderate to high risk for cavities. The treatment process takes only a few minutes and involves applying a fluoride varnish directly to the tooth surfaces, where it is absorbed into the enamel over the following hours. Village Dental's team will assess each patient's individual cavity risk factors—including diet, oral hygiene habits, and medical history—to determine how often fluoride treatments are beneficial. Combined with regular cleanings and good home care, fluoride therapy is one of the most cost-effective investments patients can make in long-term dental health.

Village Dental uses tooth-coloured composite resin fillings to restore teeth affected by cavities or minor fractures, preserving the natural appearance of the smile while halting the progression of decay. During the procedure, the dentist removes all infected or compromised tooth structure, thoroughly cleans the cavity, and bonds the composite material directly to the tooth in layers, hardening each with a curing light for a strong, durable result. Because composite resin bonds directly to the tooth, less healthy tooth structure needs to be removed compared to older amalgam techniques. Composite fillings at Village Dental are carefully colour-matched to blend invisibly with the surrounding enamel, making them an ideal choice for visible teeth where aesthetics matter. The clinic's early detection tools, including digital X-rays and CariVu transillumination, help identify cavities at their smallest stage, meaning fillings can be placed before significant damage occurs and the tooth requires a more extensive restoration. With proper home care and regular check-ups, tooth-coloured fillings can last many years while keeping the treated tooth strong and fully functional.

Root canal therapy at Village Dental is designed to save teeth that have been severely infected or damaged, eliminating pain and preventing the spread of infection. When the soft tissue inside a tooth becomes infected due to deep decay or trauma, a root canal removes the affected pulp, cleans the interior canals, and seals the tooth to prevent re-infection. The dentists at Village Dental are experienced in performing this procedure with care and precision, prioritizing patient comfort throughout. Many patients are relieved to find that modern root canal therapy is far more comfortable than its reputation suggests, often feeling little more than the sensation of a routine filling. Village Dental offers sedation options, including oral sedation and nitrous oxide, for patients who feel anxious about the procedure. After the root canal is complete, the tooth is typically restored with a crown to provide full strength and protection, allowing the patient to keep their natural tooth for many more years.

Village Dental crafts custom dental veneers for patients in Etobicoke seeking to transform their smile by correcting chips, stains, gaps, minor misalignment, or uneven tooth shapes. Both porcelain and composite resin veneer options are available, with porcelain veneers offering exceptional durability, stain resistance, and a lifelike translucency that closely mimics natural tooth enamel. The treatment involves a minimal preparation of the tooth surface, followed by precise impressions sent to an off-site dental lab where each veneer is custom-made to match the desired shape and shade. Dr. Hassanein and Dr. Mottaghi take a thorough, collaborative approach to veneer treatment, consulting with patients on their aesthetic goals and providing detailed previews of expected outcomes before beginning. The final veneers are bonded securely to the front surfaces of the teeth, blending seamlessly with the surrounding natural dentition. With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers from Village Dental can last a decade or more, making them a worthwhile investment in a lasting, beautiful smile.

Dental bonding at Village Dental is a quick, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that repairs chipped, cracked, discoloured, or slightly gapped teeth using tooth-coloured composite resin. The dentist sculpts and shapes the resin directly on the tooth surface, blending it to match the surrounding enamel for a seamless, natural appearance. Unlike veneers or crowns, bonding typically requires little to no removal of healthy tooth structure and can often be completed in a single appointment without the need for anaesthesia. Bonding is an excellent option for Etobicoke patients looking for an affordable way to address minor cosmetic concerns without committing to a more extensive treatment. Village Dental's experienced dentists take care to colour-match the composite resin precisely to each patient's tooth shade, ensuring the result is virtually indistinguishable from natural tooth structure. While composite bonding is not as stain-resistant as porcelain, maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding excessive consumption of staining foods and beverages can significantly extend the life of the restoration.

Village Dental performs root canal therapy to save severely infected or damaged teeth that would otherwise require extraction, relieving pain and restoring normal tooth function for patients across Etobicoke. The procedure involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside the tooth's root canals, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the canal system, and sealing it with a biocompatible filling material to prevent re-infection. Modern local anaesthetic techniques and a calm, reassuring approach by Dr. Hassanein and Dr. Mottaghi mean root canals at Village Dental are far more comfortable than patients often expect. Root canal treatment is typically completed in one to two appointments, and mild post-procedure tenderness can be managed easily with over-the-counter pain relievers and usually resolves within a few days. Following the root canal, a dental crown is often recommended to protect the treated tooth, which becomes more brittle after pulp removal, and restore its full strength and appearance. For highly complex root anatomy or cases requiring specialist expertise, the clinic will coordinate a referral to a trusted endodontist to ensure patients receive the best possible outcome.

Village Dental prioritizes dental emergencies and offers same-day appointments for patients in Etobicoke experiencing acute dental pain, trauma, knocked-out teeth, broken restorations, or dental abscesses. The clinic understands that dental emergencies can occur at any time and cause significant distress, and the team works quickly to assess the situation, provide immediate pain relief, and implement appropriate treatment as soon as possible. Patients are encouraged to call 416-233-9638 as soon as an emergency arises so the team can prepare for their arrival and advise on any first-aid steps to take in the interim. Common emergencies treated at Village Dental include severe toothaches, chipped or fractured teeth, lost fillings or crowns, soft tissue injuries, and jaw pain or swelling. The dentists provide guidance on managing each type of emergency—such as keeping a knocked-out tooth moist in milk or saline before arriving at the clinic—to give the best chance of saving the tooth. Village Dental's commitment to accessible emergency care gives patients in the Etobicoke community confidence that expert dental help is always close at hand when they need it most.

Village Dental provides comprehensive family dental care for patients of all ages at their Etobicoke clinic on Dundas Street West. From a child's very first dental visit to routine check-ups for adults and seniors, the experienced team delivers gentle, thorough care in a welcoming environment designed to make every appointment comfortable. Services include professional cleanings, comprehensive examinations, and customized treatment plans tailored to each family member's oral health needs. Dr. Ramin Hassanein and Dr. Katayoun Mottaghi bring a warm, patient-focused approach to family dentistry, taking the time to educate patients on proper oral hygiene habits that prevent future issues. The clinic's advanced digital X-ray technology reduces radiation exposure by up to 70% compared to conventional systems, making routine diagnostics safer for the whole family. With convenient online booking and direct insurance billing, Village Dental makes it easy for Etobicoke families to prioritize their oral health throughout the year.

Regular professional dental cleanings at Village Dental are the cornerstone of preventive oral health care, helping Etobicoke patients maintain healthy teeth and gums between check-ups. The clinic's registered dental hygienists perform thorough scaling to remove plaque and tartar build-up that regular brushing and flossing cannot address, followed by polishing to remove surface stains and leave teeth feeling smooth and refreshed. Comprehensive gum assessments are also conducted to detect early signs of periodontal disease before they progress. Village Dental recommends routine cleaning appointments every six months for most patients, though those with a history of gum disease or higher cavity risk may benefit from more frequent visits. The team uses modern ultrasonic scaling technology and intraoral cameras to give patients a clear view of their oral health status during each appointment. Patient education is a priority at Village Dental, with hygienists providing personalized guidance on brushing technique, flossing, and dietary habits that support optimal oral wellness.

Village Dental provides periodontal therapy to diagnose and treat gum disease at all stages, from early-stage gingivitis to more advanced periodontitis, helping Etobicoke patients preserve the supporting structures of their teeth and overall oral health. The clinic's dentists and hygienists perform comprehensive gum assessments at every check-up, measuring pocket depths and evaluating tissue health to detect signs of disease early—often before patients notice symptoms such as bleeding, swelling, or recession. Early intervention allows for the most conservative and effective treatment outcomes. The primary treatment for active gum disease at Village Dental is scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure that removes bacterial deposits from below the gum line and smooths the root surfaces to discourage further plaque accumulation. In more advanced cases, adjunctive therapies such as local antibiotic delivery or specialist referral for surgical intervention may be recommended. The team emphasizes the strong connection between periodontal health and overall systemic wellbeing, helping patients understand why maintaining healthy gums is essential for their entire body, not just their smile.

Village Dental provides wisdom teeth extractions for Etobicoke patients whose third molars are impacted, partially erupted, or causing crowding and discomfort. Using digital X-rays and panoramic imaging, Dr. Hassanein and Dr. Mottaghi thoroughly assess the position and angulation of wisdom teeth to determine the most appropriate treatment approach. Many straightforward wisdom tooth extractions are performed comfortably in the clinic under local anesthesia, with complex cases referred to an oral surgeon as needed. Post-operative care is a priority at Village Dental, with the team providing detailed instructions on managing swelling, controlling discomfort, and following a soft diet during the healing period. Patients are encouraged to call the clinic with any concerns following the procedure, and follow-up appointments are scheduled to confirm proper healing. Early removal of problematic wisdom teeth can prevent more serious complications including infection, cyst formation, and damage to adjacent teeth, making timely evaluation and treatment essential.

Village Dental provides custom crowns and bridges to restore damaged or missing teeth, helping patients regain full chewing function and a natural, confident appearance. Dental crowns are used to cap and protect teeth that have been weakened by decay, fracture, or large fillings, while bridges are anchored to neighbouring teeth to fill gaps left by one or more missing teeth. Each restoration is carefully crafted to match the colour and contour of the patient's existing smile. At Village Dental, the placement of crowns and bridges is approached with precision and attention to patient comfort throughout the entire process. The clinic's experienced dentists take detailed impressions and work closely with dental lab technicians to ensure restorations fit properly and look natural. Patients in Chemainus, Ladysmith, and the broader Vancouver Island region can count on Village Dental for durable, well-fitting restorations that stand the test of time.

Village Dental offers wisdom teeth extractions for patients experiencing pain, crowding, or infection related to their third molars. Wisdom teeth often lack sufficient space to erupt properly, leading to impaction, shifting of surrounding teeth, and increased risk of gum disease and cavities if left untreated. The dentists at Village Dental assess each patient's wisdom teeth with digital x-rays and clinical examination to determine whether extraction is the appropriate course of action. The extraction procedure is performed with precision and care, using local anesthesia and sedation options to ensure patient comfort throughout. The Village Dental team walks patients through what to expect during recovery, including guidance on diet, pain management, and oral hygiene to promote fast and uneventful healing. Addressing wisdom teeth proactively helps protect the health and alignment of the rest of the smile, and the team is experienced in making this common procedure as smooth as possible for patients of all ages.

Village Dental fabricates custom full and partial dentures for Etobicoke patients who have experienced significant tooth loss and are seeking a comfortable, natural-looking solution to restore their smile and ability to eat and speak with confidence. Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth and rest on the gum tissue, while partial dentures fill gaps left by several missing teeth and are supported by the remaining natural teeth using metal clasps or precision attachments. The dentists take detailed impressions and multiple measurements to ensure each denture is crafted to fit the individual patient's oral anatomy with precision. Village Dental's team understands that adapting to dentures takes time, and they provide ongoing support and adjustments to help patients achieve the most comfortable and functional fit possible. The clinic uses durable, aesthetically pleasing materials that closely resemble natural gum tissue and teeth, giving patients a confident, realistic smile. For patients seeking greater stability, implant-supported dentures are also an option, combining the full coverage of a denture with the secure anchorage of dental implants for improved retention during eating and speaking.

Village Dental fabricates custom-fitted night guards and occlusal splints for Etobicoke patients suffering from bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching) and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). These conditions can cause significant tooth wear, enamel damage, jaw pain, headaches, and disrupted sleep when left untreated, making early intervention important. The clinic uses detailed clinical examinations, patient history, and diagnostic X-rays to accurately assess each patient's condition before recommending the most appropriate appliance. Unlike over-the-counter boil-and-bite night guards, the custom appliances made at Village Dental are precision-fitted to the patient's unique bite, providing superior comfort, retention, and therapeutic effect. Wearing a properly fitted night guard repositions the jaw during sleep to reduce muscle strain and protect the teeth from the damaging forces of grinding. The dentists also provide guidance on lifestyle modifications, relaxation techniques, and exercises that can complement appliance therapy in reducing TMD symptoms and improving long-term outcomes.

Village Dental offers custom oral appliance therapy for patients in Etobicoke who snore or suffer from mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and are looking for a comfortable alternative to CPAP therapy. Mandibular advancement devices (MADs) and similar dental appliances work by gently positioning the lower jaw slightly forward during sleep, which helps keep the airway open and reduces the soft tissue vibrations responsible for snoring and breathing interruptions. The appliances are custom-fitted to each patient's bite for maximum comfort and effectiveness. Before fabricating an oral appliance, Dr. Hassanein or Dr. Mottaghi will review the patient's medical history and any sleep study results to confirm suitability for dental appliance therapy and coordinate care with the patient's physician as needed. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to assess appliance fit, patient comfort, and treatment effectiveness, with adjustments made as required to optimize the therapeutic outcome. Many patients find dental sleep appliances far easier to travel with and more comfortable to wear than CPAP machines, leading to better long-term compliance and improved quality of sleep.

Village Dental provides custom-fitted athletic mouthguards for patients of all ages in Etobicoke who participate in contact sports and recreational activities where dental injuries are a risk. Custom sport guards offer significantly superior protection, comfort, and fit compared to generic store-bought options because they are fabricated from precise impressions of the patient's teeth, ensuring the appliance stays securely in place during athletic activity and does not impede breathing or communication. A well-made sport guard can protect teeth, lips, cheeks, gums, and the jaw from impact during play. The dentists at Village Dental use durable, high-quality laminate materials to construct sport guards that withstand the rigours of competitive and recreational sports while remaining comfortable enough for athletes to wear consistently. Mouthguards are available in a range of colours and can be customized with team colours or initials for young athletes. The clinic recommends annual replacement of sport guards in growing patients to ensure continued proper fit and maximum protection as the dental anatomy changes.

Village Dental performs scaling and root planing as the primary non-surgical treatment for patients in Etobicoke with active gum disease and significant tartar build-up below the gum line. This deep cleaning procedure goes beyond a routine hygiene appointment, allowing the dental hygienist or dentist to remove calculus deposits from root surfaces and smooth the root structure to eliminate rough areas where bacteria accumulate and gum tissue has difficulty reattaching. Local anaesthesia is used to ensure patient comfort during the procedure, which is typically performed one quadrant at a time. Following scaling and root planing, a follow-up assessment is scheduled four to six weeks later to evaluate how the gum tissue has responded to treatment and determine whether further intervention is required. Village Dental's team provides detailed home care instructions to support healing and prevent re-infection, including guidance on the most effective brushing and flossing techniques for patients managing gum disease. Ongoing periodontal maintenance appointments at shortened intervals are then recommended to keep the condition stable and monitor gum health over the long term.

Fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures are all handled in-house by Dr. Hassanein and Dr. Mottaghi at 4931 Dundas St W. Most standard restorative cases don't need a referral to an outside specialist, which keeps the whole process in one place and cuts down on scheduling delays between appointments.

Village Dental has a children's play area with video games right inside the clinic — kids who arrive nervous tend to be settled by the time they reach the chair. Dr. Mottaghi is particularly noted by parents for her patience with young patients and her ability to explain what she's doing in terms children understand.

Village Dental offers cosmetic dental services to help patients achieve a smile they feel proud of, using modern techniques that deliver natural-looking enhancements. The clinic's cosmetic offerings include professional teeth whitening, white composite fillings, and aesthetic restorations designed to correct imperfections such as discolouration, minor chips, or misshapen teeth. The dentists at Village Dental are members of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, reflecting their commitment to excellence in aesthetic dental care. A more beautiful smile can have a meaningful impact on a patient's confidence and overall well-being, and the team at Village Dental takes care to understand each person's aesthetic goals before recommending a treatment plan. Professional in-office whitening achieves results that are far superior to over-the-counter products, providing a noticeably brighter smile in a single visit. Whether a patient is looking for a subtle refresh or a more comprehensive smile makeover, Village Dental offers honest, personalized guidance to help them reach their desired outcome safely and effectively.

Fixed bridges at Village Dental are designed by Dr. Hassanein or Dr. Mottaghi at 4931 Dundas St W, colour-matched to adjacent teeth, and delivered across two visits for most cases. A follow-up check is booked to confirm bite alignment and fit after the final cementation.

Village Dental offers dental implants as the gold-standard permanent solution for replacing missing teeth in Etobicoke patients, providing a result that closely mimics the look, feel, and function of a natural tooth. Each implant consists of a titanium screw surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial root, an abutment connector, and a custom crown that is matched to the surrounding teeth in shape and shade. The implant fuses with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable, permanent foundation that prevents the bone resorption that occurs with missing teeth. Village Dental's dentists conduct thorough diagnostic assessments including X-rays and panoramic imaging to evaluate bone density and determine patient candidacy before recommending implants. With a success rate of 90 to 95% in healthy individuals, implants are one of the most predictable and long-lasting restorations available. Patients can eat, speak, and smile with full confidence knowing their implant is secured firmly in place, and with diligent oral hygiene and regular professional care, a dental implant from Village Dental can last a lifetime.

Dr. Hassanein and Dr. Mottaghi account for issues that commonly affect older patients at this Etobicoke location — dry mouth from long-term medications, gum recession, reduced bone density, and coordinating dental treatment around other health conditions. The free on-site parking also makes the visit practical for patients who don't rely on public transit.

Village Dental provides both complete and partial dentures for patients who have lost some or all of their teeth, restoring function, appearance, and confidence. Complete dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth, while partial dentures fill gaps between remaining natural teeth and are secured in place with clasps or other attachments. Each set of dentures is custom-crafted to match the patient's facial structure and aesthetic preferences, resulting in a comfortable and natural-looking fit. The team at Village Dental takes a patient-centred approach to denture fabrication, working closely with each individual through fittings and adjustments to ensure the final product feels stable and functions well for everyday activities like eating and speaking. Regular follow-up appointments are encouraged so that any changes in the gum tissue or jaw can be addressed with relining or adjustments over time. Patients in Chemainus and the surrounding Vancouver Island communities can rely on Village Dental to provide dentures that meaningfully improve their quality of life.

Call (416) 233-9638 during business hours — Village Dental on Dundas St W holds time in the daily schedule specifically for same-day emergency cases. Dr. Hassanein or Dr. Mottaghi will assess toothaches, chipped or cracked teeth, displaced fillings, or soft tissue injuries the same day when possible.

Scaling and root planing at this Dundas St W clinic is performed by the hygiene team in coordination with Dr. Hassanein or Dr. Mottaghi, who assess pocket depth and bone levels via digital X-rays before and after treatment. A maintenance interval is then set based on how the gum tissue responds.

Village Dental is an Invisalign provider in Etobicoke, offering clear aligner therapy for teens, adults, and children seeking a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible plastic aligners that gradually shift the teeth into proper alignment over a treatment period averaging 12 to 18 months depending on the complexity of the case. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately 20 to 22 hours per day and changed every one to two weeks, with progress monitored at periodic check-in appointments at the clinic. Because the aligners are removable, patients can eat their favourite foods without restriction and maintain their normal brushing and flossing routine with ease, making Invisalign a convenient and lifestyle-friendly orthodontic option. Village Dental uses advanced digital scanning technology to create precise 3D models of the patient's teeth, allowing the treatment plan to be mapped out virtually and the expected final result previewed before treatment even begins. Retainers are worn after active treatment is complete to preserve the newly aligned smile and protect the investment made in orthodontic care.

At Village Dental on Dundas St W, preventive care is built into every routine visit. Dr. Hassanein or Dr. Mottaghi reviews the patient's home hygiene habits at each appointment and flags early signs of decay or gum inflammation before they require more involved treatment.

Village Dental offers specialized pediatric dental care for infants, children, and teenagers in Etobicoke, with a team experienced in making young patients feel at ease from their very first appointment. The clinic recommends bringing children in within six months of their first tooth erupting, allowing the dentists to monitor early development and establish positive associations with dental visits. Services include gentle cleanings, fluoride treatments, cavity-prevention sealants, and age-appropriate oral hygiene education to build lifelong healthy habits. The clinic's child-friendly environment features a welcoming waiting area and amenities designed to reduce anxiety and make visits fun for younger patients.

Dr. Hassanein or Dr. Mottaghi performs root canal treatment in-house at this Etobicoke clinic — most cases don't require a referral to a separate endodontist. Anaesthetic is administered in stages at the start of the appointment to ensure the tooth is fully numb before any instrumentation begins.

Cleanings at Village Dental are done by the in-house hygiene team and fed directly into the dentist's examination — Dr. Hassanein or Dr. Mottaghi reviews the hygienist's charting alongside the radiographs and delivers a consolidated picture of the patient's oral health at each visit. No disconnect between the cleaning appointment and the diagnosis.

Village Dental offers professional teeth whitening services in Etobicoke to help patients achieve a noticeably brighter, more confident smile. The clinic provides both in-office whitening sessions and custom take-home whitening kits, giving patients flexibility in how they approach their cosmetic goals. In-office treatments use a professional-strength light-activated hydrogen peroxide gel capable of lightening teeth by six to ten shades in a single 30 to 90-minute appointment, delivering dramatic results for special events or patients seeking immediate improvement. For patients who prefer gradual whitening at their own pace, Village Dental fabricates custom-fitted whitening trays from impressions of your teeth, ensuring the bleaching gel is distributed evenly and does not irritate the gums. The team provides personalized guidance on treatment duration and touch-up frequency to maintain results over time, along with advice on dietary habits and products that prolong whitening outcomes. Professional whitening at Village Dental is a safe, effective alternative to over-the-counter products, with dentist oversight to monitor sensitivity and ensure optimal results.

Dr. Hassanein and Dr. Mottaghi match crown shade and shape to the patient's surrounding teeth during the prep appointment at this Etobicoke clinic. Ceramic or zirconia options are available depending on the tooth's position and the patient's bite load — the recommendation is made case by case.

When a tooth is too severely damaged, decayed, or infected to be saved through restorative treatment, Village Dental's skilled dentists perform safe and comfortable extractions for patients throughout Etobicoke. Dr. Hassanein and Dr. Mottaghi use local anesthesia and a gentle technique to ensure patients feel minimal discomfort during the procedure, and they take time to explain the process and address any concerns beforehand. Simple extractions of fully erupted teeth are performed in-office, with detailed aftercare instructions provided to promote quick healing. Following an extraction, Village Dental's team discusses tooth replacement options such as dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures to restore function and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting. The clinic is committed to preserving natural teeth whenever possible, and extractions are only recommended when no viable restorative alternative exists. Patients can rely on Village Dental for compassionate care through what can be an anxious experience, with follow-up support available to ensure a smooth recovery.

Veneer cases at Village Dental are led by Dr. Hassanein, who uses a shade guide and a digital consultation to agree on shape and colour with the patient before any lab work is ordered. Tooth preparation is kept as minimal as the case allows — preserving underlying enamel is a priority.

Village Dental provides comprehensive general dentistry services designed to maintain and protect the oral health of patients of all ages in Chemainus and the surrounding communities. Routine services include initial exams, digital x-rays, and professional cleanings recommended every six months to detect and prevent issues before they become serious. The team takes a thorough, individualized approach to every appointment, ensuring patients understand their current oral health status and what steps to take to keep their smile healthy long-term. Regular preventative care at Village Dental helps patients avoid costly and more invasive treatments down the road. The clinic's use of digital radiography reduces radiation exposure while providing clearer, faster diagnostic images that the dentist can review with you chairside. Whether you are a new patient coming in for your first visit or a returning family member, the team at Village Dental is dedicated to making general dental visits a positive and productive experience for everyone.

Village Dental offers dental bridges as a reliable, fixed solution for replacing one or more missing teeth in Etobicoke patients who want to restore their smile and bite function. A traditional bridge consists of an artificial tooth (or pontic) anchored to the adjacent natural teeth on either side, which are prepared and fitted with crowns that hold the bridge securely in place. The result is a permanent restoration that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth, preventing neighbouring teeth from drifting and maintaining the structural integrity of the bite. The dentists at Village Dental take precise impressions and use high-quality materials to fabricate bridges that blend seamlessly with the patient's existing teeth in both shade and shape. The entire process typically requires two appointments—one for tooth preparation and impressions and a second for the placement of the completed bridge. Patients receive thorough guidance on caring for their bridge at home, including proper flossing techniques around the pontic, to ensure the restoration and supporting teeth remain healthy for years to come.

Village Dental performs a range of oral surgery procedures in-office for Etobicoke patients, encompassing simple and surgical tooth extractions, wisdom tooth removal, and other minor oral surgical treatments. Dr. Hassanein and Dr. Mottaghi use precise diagnostic imaging and careful pre-operative planning to ensure each surgical procedure is carried out safely and efficiently, with patient comfort as the highest priority throughout. Local anaesthesia is used for all procedures, and the team explains every step of the process in advance so patients know exactly what to expect. Post-operative care instructions are provided in both verbal and written form to help patients manage recovery at home, including guidance on pain management, dietary modifications, activity restrictions, and warning signs that warrant a follow-up call to the clinic. Village Dental is committed to referring complex surgical cases to trusted oral surgery specialists when the scope of treatment exceeds routine in-office capabilities, ensuring all patients receive the highest standard of care. A follow-up appointment is typically scheduled after surgical procedures to confirm proper healing and address any questions or concerns.

Village Dental offers sedation options to help patients who experience anxiety, fear, or difficulty sitting through dental procedures feel calm and at ease during their treatment. Both oral sedation and nitrous oxide (laughing gas) are available, allowing the dental team to tailor the level of relaxation to the patient's individual needs and the complexity of the procedure being performed. Nitrous oxide is inhaled through a small mask and wears off quickly after removal, making it suitable for shorter appointments and patients who need to drive themselves home. Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before the appointment, resulting in a deeper state of relaxation throughout the visit while the patient remains conscious and able to respond to the dentist. Sedation dentistry at Village Dental makes it possible for patients who might otherwise avoid necessary treatment to receive the dental care they need in a safe and supported environment. The team carefully reviews each patient's medical history before recommending a sedation option, ensuring the approach is both effective and appropriate for that individual.
