Emergency Dentistry
Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre understands that dental emergencies do not follow a convenient schedule, which is why the clinic accepts walk-in patients and dental emergencies during regular office hours — including evenings until 8 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, as well as alternate Saturdays. The team of Dr. Jessica Steinman, Dr. Eitan Keren, and Dr. Andrea Chhun is experienced in managing a wide range of urgent situations, including sudden tooth pain, acute sensitivity, loose or cracked teeth, broken fillings, facial or localized swelling, painful wisdom teeth, and severe nighttime dental pain. Patients can call (905) 303-7331 to speak with the team and receive guidance before arriving. The clinic's direct billing to most insurance providers, including participation in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), means cost concerns do not have to delay urgent care.
For one of the most time-critical emergencies — a knocked-out tooth — the clinic advises patients to call immediately and aim to arrive within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth. The Vaughan community benefits from knowing a fully equipped, multi-dentist practice is nearby and genuinely accessible outside of standard business hours. Arabic-speaking staff can assist patients who prefer to communicate in Arabic when describing their symptoms, which can be especially important during stressful emergency situations. Whether the emergency is a sports injury, a broken restoration, or an infection that flared overnight, the team at Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre is ready to provide prompt, compassionate care.
All-on-Four Dental Implants
The All-on-Four 'Teeth-in-a-Day' procedure at Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre is a transformative solution for patients who have lost, or are facing the loss of, an entire arch of teeth. Using just four strategically placed implants, a complete fixed — non-removable — dental prosthesis is secured in a single appointment, eliminating the need for extended time in temporary dentures or complex sinus graft procedures. Dr. Eitan Keren, who has a specialized interest in implantology and membership in the Implant Mentor Study Club, performs all implant procedures on-site at the Vaughan clinic. This in-house approach reduces wait times, keeps the patient's care team consistent, and ensures the quality of the final restoration meets the clinic's high standards.
The result of an All-on-Four procedure is a permanent, stain-resistant, and cavity-proof smile that looks and functions like natural teeth. Patients across Vaughan, Maple, Thornhill, and Woodbridge who have struggled with failing dentition or ill-fitting traditional dentures find this treatment to be a life-changing alternative. The clinic accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and offers direct billing to most insurers, making it easier to understand the financial path toward this investment. Arabic-speaking team members can help patients who prefer to discuss treatment options in Arabic, ensuring every patient feels fully informed and confident in their decision. Extended evening and alternate Saturday hours make the consultation and planning process convenient for even the busiest patients.
Mouthguards
Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre provides custom-fitted sport mouthguards to protect the teeth, gums, lips, and jaw of athletes and active patients during contact sports and physical activities. Unlike the generic boil-and-bite guards available at sporting goods stores, a professionally fabricated mouthguard is precisely moulded to the patient's dentition, providing a significantly superior fit, greater retention during impact, and far better protection against dental trauma. Dr. Jessica Steinman, Dr. Eitan Keren, and Dr. Andrea Chhun recommend custom guards for children and adults in the Vaughan community who participate in hockey, football, basketball, martial arts, and any other sport that carries a risk of facial or oral injury. The clinic accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and provides direct billing to most insurance plans, as many extended health benefit plans cover a portion of custom mouthguard costs.
Night mouthguards — also known as occlusal splints — are available for patients who grind or clench their teeth during sleep, a habit known as bruxism that can cause significant tooth wear, cracked enamel, jaw pain, and temporomandibular joint discomfort over time. The clinic's dentists assess each patient individually to determine whether a night guard is the right intervention and, if so, which type of splint best suits their bite and grinding pattern. Arabic-speaking team members can explain the purpose and use of both types of guards in detail to patients who prefer that language, ensuring every patient in Vaughan's diverse community feels fully informed. Appointments for impressions and fittings can be scheduled during the clinic's extended evening hours or on alternate Saturdays, making the process convenient for patients with busy weekday schedules.
Tooth Extraction
When a tooth cannot be saved through restorative or endodontic treatment, Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre provides professional tooth extraction services with patient comfort as the top priority. Dr. Jessica Steinman, Dr. Eitan Keren, and Dr. Andrea Chhun approach extractions with thoroughness and gentleness, ensuring the area is fully anesthetized before proceeding and that patients feel informed and at ease throughout. Nitrous oxide sedation is available for anxious patients and children, significantly reducing stress and making the procedure feel far more manageable. The clinic handles both routine single-tooth extractions and more complex cases, including problematic wisdom teeth that are causing pain or crowding.
Following an extraction, the team at Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre takes the time to discuss appropriate tooth replacement options so patients leave with a clear picture of the path forward. Whether the best solution is a dental implant placed by Dr. Keren, a fixed bridge, or a custom denture, the clinic can manage the entire restorative process in-house. The clinic participates in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and offers direct billing, helping patients in Vaughan understand their coverage and minimize out-of-pocket costs. Arabic-speaking staff are available to support patients who prefer to communicate in Arabic, and the clinic's alternate Saturday hours and extended evening schedule ensure that post-extraction follow-up appointments are easy to arrange around family and work commitments.
Dental Cleaning
Professional dental cleanings at Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre are performed by experienced registered dental hygienists who collectively bring decades of hands-on expertise to patient care. Each cleaning removes the plaque and calculus build-up that brushing and flossing at home simply cannot address, helping patients maintain a healthier oral environment and fresher breath between visits. The hygiene team works closely with Dr. Jessica Steinman, Dr. Eitan Keren, and Dr. Andrea Chhun to flag any concerns identified during the cleaning appointment, ensuring continuity between hygiene and clinical care. The clinic accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and provides direct billing to most insurance providers, so routine preventive visits remain affordable for Vaughan families.
Soft-tissue management services at the clinic address early to moderate gum disease — a condition that, left untreated, can progress to serious periodontal damage and even tooth loss. The hygiene team develops individualized maintenance plans that may include more frequent scaling appointments, targeted irrigation, and detailed patient education on improving home care routines. Arabic-speaking staff can explain treatment recommendations to patients in Arabic, which is particularly helpful when discussing periodontal health, a topic that benefits from thorough and clear communication. Alternate Saturday hours and extended evening appointments until 8 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays make it practical for the entire Vaughan community — including those who work standard business hours — to keep up with the regular preventive care that underpins long-term oral health.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment at Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre is performed to save teeth that have become infected or severely damaged at the pulp level, eliminating pain and preserving the natural tooth rather than resorting to extraction. The procedure involves carefully removing the infected pulp tissue, disinfecting the root canal system, and sealing it to prevent reinfection — followed in most cases by placement of a crown to protect and restore the treated tooth. Dr. Jessica Steinman, Dr. Eitan Keren, and Dr. Andrea Chhun each perform endodontic treatment with care and precision, and the clinic offers nitrous oxide sedation for patients who feel anxious about the procedure. Root canal appointments are available both on an emergency walk-in basis for acute infections and as scheduled treatments for teeth identified during routine examinations.
The clinic's extended evening hours until 8 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays mean that patients dealing with significant tooth pain do not have to wait until the next available weekday morning for relief — and alternate Saturdays provide yet another option for those with constrained schedules. Arabic-speaking team members can help patients who prefer to discuss their diagnosis and treatment options in Arabic, which is particularly valuable when navigating what can feel like a stressful clinical situation. Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre participates in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and offers direct billing to most insurance companies, helping Vaughan patients manage the cost of saving a tooth they might otherwise lose. The experienced team prioritizes patient comfort throughout every stage of treatment, from the first numbing injection to the final restoration.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
For patients who experience dental anxiety — whether mild nervousness or more significant fear — Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre offers nitrous oxide (laughing gas) sedation to reduce stress and promote relaxation during any dental procedure. The sedation is administered safely through a small nasal mask, takes effect quickly, and wears off within minutes after the mask is removed, allowing patients to drive themselves home after their appointment without needing an escort. Dr. Jessica Steinman, Dr. Eitan Keren, and Dr. Andrea Chhun are experienced in using nitrous oxide for a wide range of treatments — from routine cleanings and fillings to more involved restorative or surgical procedures — ensuring that anxiety is never a barrier to receiving necessary care. The clinic makes nitrous sedation available to both adults and children, and it is particularly valued by parents of younger patients who may feel apprehensive about their dental visits.
The availability of nitrous oxide sedation at this Vaughan clinic reflects the team's genuine commitment to meeting patients where they are, rather than expecting them to simply push through discomfort. Patients who speak Arabic can discuss sedation preferences and concerns with Arabic-speaking team members before their appointment, which helps build trust and reduces pre-visit anxiety. Evening hours until 8 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, as well as alternate Saturday availability, mean that anxious patients can choose appointment times that feel least pressured for them. The clinic participates in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and offers direct billing to most insurance providers, making it straightforward to confirm whether sedation costs are covered before the day of treatment.
Porcelain Veneers
Custom porcelain veneers at Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre offer patients in Vaughan a long-lasting, highly aesthetic solution for transforming the appearance of their smile. Thin porcelain shells are precisely crafted to cover the front surface of teeth, effectively concealing chips, cracks, deep staining, and minor misalignment without the need for orthodontic treatment. Dr. Jessica Steinman and Dr. Eitan Keren — both recognized for their interest and expertise in cosmetic dentistry — work closely with each patient to select the ideal shade, shape, and contour, ensuring the veneers integrate naturally with the rest of the smile. The porcelain material is inherently stain-resistant and durable, making veneers a practical and beautiful investment in long-term confidence.
The veneer process at Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre typically involves a consultation, minimal tooth preparation, and the placement of the finalized restorations — all managed in a calm, patient-focused environment. The clinic's extended evening hours and alternate Saturday schedule mean patients can attend consultations and placement appointments without major disruption to their work week. Direct billing to most insurance providers and participation in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) help patients understand any coverage that may apply to their treatment plan. Arabic-speaking team members are available to guide patients through every step of the process, and Dr. Chhun, Dr. Steinman, and Dr. Keren collectively ensure continuity of care from the initial conversation right through to the final polished result.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre uses composite resin tooth-coloured fillings to restore teeth affected by decay or minor damage, delivering results that are both clinically effective and visually seamless. Unlike older amalgam restorations, composite fillings are carefully shade-matched to the natural tooth, blending in so well that most patients — and even other dental professionals — cannot tell they are there. Dr. Jessica Steinman, Dr. Eitan Keren, and Dr. Andrea Chhun all place tooth-coloured restorations as part of the clinic's commitment to combining oral health outcomes with aesthetic quality. The procedure is typically completed in a single visit, and patients in Vaughan appreciate the convenience of having their restoration placed and matched on the same day.
The clinic's use of tooth-coloured fillings reflects a broader philosophy of preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible while delivering restorations that patients feel genuinely good about. The Vaughan community is welcome to book both routine filling appointments and replacement consultations for older amalgam restorations they may wish to update. Direct billing to most insurance companies and participation in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) help manage costs, and Arabic-speaking staff can walk patients through what to expect before, during, and after treatment. Extended evening hours on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, plus alternate Saturdays, mean that a convenient appointment time is almost always available.
Children's Dentistry
At Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre, children's dental health is treated with both clinical expertise and genuine warmth. The clinic recommends that children begin dental visits around age one, and Dr. Jessica Steinman — who earned the University of Toronto's Gold Medal and has a particular specialization in children's dentistry — is especially skilled at building positive, fear-free relationships with young patients from their very first appointment. Services include initial oral examinations, professional cleanings with topical fluoride, oral hygiene instruction, habit evaluations such as thumb-sucking assessment, and personalized fluoride need assessments. The team also accommodates children with special needs, and caregivers are encouraged to communicate any specific requirements in advance so the staff can prepare accordingly.
The clinic's child-friendly environment in Vaughan includes a designated play area in the waiting room, which helps reduce pre-appointment anxiety for both children and parents. Nitrous oxide sedation is available for more anxious young patients, ensuring even those with heightened nerves can receive the care they need comfortably. Arabic-speaking staff support families in the Vaughan community who prefer to communicate in their home language. The clinic participates in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and offers direct billing, helping families manage the cost of keeping their children's smiles healthy. With alternate Saturday hours available, parents can also schedule pediatric appointments on weekends without disrupting the school week.
CAD/CAM In-House Prosthetics
Dental crowns at Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre restore damaged, decayed, or structurally weakened teeth to their natural appearance and full function, protecting them from further breakdown while blending seamlessly with the surrounding smile. Each crown is custom-fabricated to match the colour, shape, and contour of the patient's existing teeth, so the restoration is virtually indistinguishable from a natural tooth. Dr. Jessica Steinman, Dr. Eitan Keren, and Dr. Andrea Chhun each bring the precision and attention to detail that crown restorations demand, ensuring every patient's outcome is both aesthetically pleasing and clinically sound. The clinic accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and offers direct billing to most insurance providers, so patients in Vaughan can access restorative care without undue financial stress.
Crowns are recommended in a variety of clinical situations — following root canal treatment to protect the tooth, to reinforce a severely cracked or fractured tooth, to replace a large failing filling, or to restore a tooth worn down by bruxism. The team at Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre takes the time to explain each patient's treatment needs clearly, including Arabic-language support for members of the community who prefer it. Alternate Saturday hours and evening appointments until 8 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays provide the scheduling flexibility that Vaughan families and working patients need. Once placed, crowns are monitored at regular check-up visits to ensure long-term comfort, fit, and durability.
Family Dentistry
Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre has been a trusted family dental home for the Vaughan community for years, welcoming patients of all ages from toddlers to grandparents. Dr. Jessica Steinman, Dr. Eitan Keren, and Dr. Andrea Chhun each bring unique expertise — spanning children's dentistry, implantology, and comprehensive care — so every member of the family receives the right level of attention at every life stage. The clinic accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and provides direct billing to most insurance companies, minimizing the administrative burden for busy households. A children's play area in the waiting room, Arabic-speaking staff, and flexible evening and alternate Saturday hours make it genuinely practical for Vaughan families to keep everyone's dental health on track.
The family-focused approach at this clinic goes beyond logistics — it is built on the philosophy that lasting oral health starts with consistent, trusted care from a familiar team. Having Dr. Steinman, Dr. Keren, and Dr. Chhun as long-term dental providers means the team develops a deep understanding of each family's history, concerns, and goals over time. New patients of all ages are welcomed without a referral, and walk-in appointments are available for unplanned needs. From a child's preventive cleaning to a parent's cosmetic treatment or a grandparent's denture fitting, Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre is equipped to handle it all in one convenient Rutherford Road location.
General & Family Dentistry
Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre provides comprehensive general dental care for patients of all ages across the Vaughan community and surrounding areas including Maple, Thornhill, and Woodbridge. Dr. Jessica Steinman, Dr. Eitan Keren, and Dr. Andrea Chhun — all graduates of the University of Toronto Faculty of Dentistry — collaborate to deliver thorough examinations, preventive care, and a full range of restorative treatments under one roof. The clinic accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and offers direct billing to most insurance providers, making routine dental visits financially accessible for the families they serve.

Multilingual support including Arabic helps the diverse Vaughan community feel comfortable communicating with the dental team. Alternate Saturday hours give working patients and families an additional window to attend without taking time off work. Whether the goal is a routine check-up, managing a small cavity, or building a long-term preventive plan, the team at Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre approaches every visit with genuine care and clinical precision.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening at Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre uses light-activated hydrogen peroxide gels and high-intensity lights to achieve dramatically brighter results in far less time than over-the-counter strips or home kits. Custom-fitted guards ensure comfort during treatment, and the higher professional-grade peroxide concentration means fewer sessions are needed to achieve the desired shade, with lower sensitivity risk compared to prolonged home use. Dr. Jessica Steinman and Dr. Eitan Keren, both of whom have specialized interests in cosmetic dentistry, oversee whitening treatments to ensure the results are consistent, safe, and aligned with each patient's natural tooth colour and goals. The procedure is ideal for reversing discoloration caused by coffee, tea, tobacco, food pigments, certain medications, or the natural aging process.
As a welcome gift, all new patients at Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre receive a complimentary teeth whitening kit when they join the practice — a meaningful introduction to the clinic's commitment to both oral health and aesthetics. For existing patients looking to refresh their smile before a special occasion, the clinic's extended evening hours until 8 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, as well as alternate Saturdays, make it easy to fit a whitening appointment into a busy schedule. The clinic provides direct billing to most insurance providers and participates in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), and Arabic-speaking staff are available to walk patients through their cosmetic treatment options in detail. Patients throughout the Vaughan community trust the team's expertise to deliver results that look natural and last.
Dentures
Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre fabricates custom complete and partial dentures to restore function, aesthetics, and confidence for patients who have experienced significant tooth loss. Each denture is individually designed and crafted to fit comfortably, look natural, and complement the patient's facial structure — improving chewing ability, supporting clearer speech, and enhancing overall quality of life. Dr. Jessica Steinman, Dr. Eitan Keren, and Dr. Andrea Chhun work collaboratively to assess each patient's needs, discuss their options, and oversee the denture fabrication process from initial impressions through to final fitting and adjustment. The clinic accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and offers direct billing to most insurance providers, helping patients in Vaughan manage the financial side of their restorative treatment.
For patients who are not yet ready for or interested in dental implants, dentures remain an effective and time-tested solution, and the team at Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre ensures each patient receives a prosthetic that fits well and requires minimal daily maintenance. Ongoing adjustments are available as the oral tissues naturally change over time, ensuring the denture continues to feel secure and comfortable for years after placement. Arabic-speaking staff can guide patients through every stage of the denture process in Arabic, from discussing which type — full, partial, or implant-supported — is most appropriate, to explaining care instructions at home. Alternate Saturday hours and extended evening appointments provide ample scheduling options for the multi-visit process that denture fabrication typically involves.
Dental Implants
Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre offers dental implant solutions as permanent, long-lasting replacements for missing teeth, performed on-site by an experienced team led by Dr. Eitan Keren, who has a dedicated interest in implantology and is affiliated with the Implant Mentor Study Club. The implant process involves surgically anchoring a titanium post into the jawbone, followed by a healing period of three to six months during which the bone fuses securely around the base. Once integration is complete, a custom-fabricated crown is attached to create a natural-looking and fully functional artificial tooth that is indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth. The clinic also offers sedation options for patients who feel anxious about surgical procedures, ensuring the process is as comfortable as possible from start to finish.
For patients in Vaughan and the broader GTA considering implants, Dufferin Vaughan Dental Centre provides both single-tooth solutions and full-arch restorations, including the innovative All-on-Four technique. Having all stages of implant treatment performed at a single familiar location by Dr. Keren, Dr. Steinman, or Dr. Chhun eliminates the need for multiple specialist referrals and helps patients feel at ease throughout the process. The clinic accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and provides direct insurance billing, helping patients plan the financial side of their treatment. Alternate Saturday hours and extended evening appointments make scheduling implant consultations and follow-up visits straightforward, even for those with demanding weekday schedules.

Services include professional teeth whitening, custom porcelain veneers, tooth-coloured composite fillings, dental crowns, and dental implants — each tailored to the individual patient's aesthetic goals and facial structure. New patients also receive a complimentary teeth whitening kit, giving everyone a head start on a brighter smile from their very first visit.
For patients in the Vaughan community who have been considering cosmetic treatment, the clinic's approachable team and accessible scheduling make it easy to take the first step.
