Cosmetic Dentistry in Etobicoke
Etobicoke Dental Care offers a comprehensive range of cosmetic dental treatments designed to transform the appearance of patients' smiles. Services include porcelain veneers, porcelain and ceramic crowns, composite (white) fillings that match the natural shade of teeth, and the advanced Bioclear composite system. The clinic's photo gallery showcases extensive before-and-after cases including cosmetic reconstruction of cracked, chipped, and discoloured teeth. Composite white fillings available at this clinic are custom-matched to the shade, texture, and translucency of natural teeth and can be used to reshape teeth, close gaps, repair chips, or replace older amalgam restorations. The clinic's cosmetic approach is conservative — removing only what is necessary to achieve excellent aesthetic and functional outcomes.
Root Canal Treatment in Etobicoke
Endodontic root canal therapy is performed at Etobicoke Dental Care to save teeth that are severely infected or damaged and would otherwise require extraction. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp tissue from inside the tooth, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and sealing them to prevent re-infection. Modern anaesthesia techniques make root canal treatment comfortable, and most patients experience little to no pain during the procedure. Following root canal therapy, the treated tooth is typically restored with a crown to protect it from fracture and restore full function. By preserving the natural tooth, root canal therapy helps patients avoid the cost and complexity of tooth replacement with an implant or bridge. Post-operative care instructions are provided to support healing.
Emergency Dental Care in Etobicoke
Etobicoke Dental Care provides same-day emergency dental care for patients experiencing urgent oral health issues. The clinic's emergency line — (416) 743-2273 — is the first call patients should make when experiencing severe toothache, dental trauma from a fall or sports injury, knocked-out or broken teeth, lost fillings, loose crowns, cracked dentures, or broken orthodontic wires. The team does everything possible to see emergency patients the same day they call. The clinic also provides first-aid guidance over the phone while patients travel to the office. For knocked-out teeth, patients are advised to keep the tooth moist (in milk or a saline solution) and seek care within 30 minutes for the best chance of successful reimplantation. Emergency services cover dental trauma, jaw fractures, abscesses, canker sores, and cold sores.
Invisalign & Clear Aligners in Etobicoke
Etobicoke Dental Care is a certified Invisalign provider, offering clear aligner orthodontic therapy as a modern alternative to traditional metal braces. Custom-designed, virtually invisible polyurethane aligners are fabricated using computer imaging and changed every two weeks to progressively move teeth into alignment. Treatment requires office check-ins only every 4–6 weeks, and the removable aligners allow patients to eat, drink, and maintain oral hygiene without restriction. Invisalign at this clinic addresses crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite, and underbite for both teens and adults with mild to moderate alignment concerns. Average treatment duration is 6–18 months. The average treatment cost is approximately $6,000, and the team works with patients to explore insurance coverage and financing options to make treatment accessible.
Braces in Etobicoke
For patients requiring more comprehensive orthodontic correction, Etobicoke Dental Care offers traditional bracket-and-wire braces. Dr. Pasternak has completed the Canadian Straightwire Orthodontic Program, allowing the clinic to deliver orthodontic treatment in-house for patients of all ages — teens and adults alike. Treatment begins with a thorough consultation and custom treatment plan, followed by bracket placement and regular adjustment appointments. Braces at this clinic correct overbites, underbites, crossbites, and crowding, improving both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the patient's bite. Upon completion, retainers are provided to maintain results. The clinical team provides detailed guidance on brushing and flossing around brackets to protect oral health throughout treatment.
Bad Breath Treatment in Etobicoke
Etobicoke Dental Care addresses halitosis (bad breath) as part of its preventive and general dental care, identifying anaerobic bacteria, dry mouth, medications, and diet as primary contributing factors. The clinical team recommends a combination of proper brushing technique (minimum two minutes), daily flossing, tongue cleaning with specialized tools, non-alcohol sulphur-reducing mouth rinses, and chlorine dioxide mouthwashes that neutralize volatile sulphur compounds. Regular twice-yearly hygiene visits help identify and treat underlying gingivitis or periodontal disease that may be causing persistent bad breath.
Bioclear Matrix System in Etobicoke
Etobicoke Dental Care is a leader in the Bioclear Matrix System, an innovative composite restoration technique championed by Dr. Mark Pasternak, who is currently pursuing an advanced MasterTrack certification in the method. Bioclear uses heated composite resin injected through specially designed matrices to create seamless, strong, and highly aesthetic restorations on both anterior and posterior teeth — addressing black triangle spaces, tooth gaps, and chips with results that rival porcelain but at a lower cost and without removing healthy tooth structure. This approach is especially beneficial for patients seeking cosmetic improvements without the permanence and cost of crowns or veneers. By warming the composite to reduce viscosity, the material flows into every contour and bonds with exceptional strength, producing naturally smooth surfaces that resist plaque accumulation. Etobicoke Dental Care is one of the few practices in the Etobicoke area offering this advanced technique.
Scaling & Root Planing in Etobicoke
Scaling and root planing is the primary non-surgical treatment for moderate-to-advanced gum disease offered at Etobicoke Dental Care. Using specialized instruments, the hygiene team removes calculus (tartar) and bacterial deposits from tooth surfaces (scaling) and from within the gum pockets around the roots (root planing), smoothing root surfaces to discourage future bacterial attachment. Post-procedure, patients are instructed to rinse with warm salt water twice daily to promote gum healing.

The Bioclear Matrix System is a modern composite restoration technique that uses heated composite resin injected through specially designed matrices to create smooth, strong, and highly aesthetic restorations. Unlike traditional composite bonding, the heated material flows into every contour for a seamless, durable result that resists plaque accumulation. It can close black triangle spaces between teeth, repair chips and gaps, and replace old amalgam fillings — often as an alternative to more invasive and expensive crowns or veneers. Dr. Pasternak is currently completing an advanced MasterTrack certification in this technique.

The clinic is led by Dr. Mark Pasternak, a McGill University graduate with over 35 years of experience and advanced training in implant and occlusal dentistry.

Implants are used to replace single missing teeth, support bridges, or anchor dentures, and are planned comprehensively as part of your overall oral health strategy.
For your first visit, please bring a list of current medications and drug allergies, your complete medical history, any existing dental appliances, previous X-rays from your prior dentist if available, and your dental insurance card with ID numbers and benefits information. New patient forms are also available for download on the clinic website so you can complete them before you arrive.
The dental implant process at Etobicoke Dental Care varies depending on the location of the implant and the patient's healing response. After the titanium implant fixture is surgically placed in the jawbone, a healing period of approximately 3–4 months is needed for lower jaw implants and 5–6 months for upper jaw implants before the permanent crown or prosthetic is attached. Most patients experience little to no post-surgical pain and can manage any discomfort with over-the-counter medication.
Both Invisalign and traditional braces straighten teeth and correct bite issues, but they differ in appearance, comfort, and lifestyle impact. Invisalign uses custom-made clear plastic aligners that are nearly invisible and fully removable for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene — typically requiring office visits only every 4–6 weeks. Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires that are more visible but may be more effective for complex bite correction cases. Etobicoke Dental Care offers both options and will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your specific clinical needs and lifestyle preferences.
Etobicoke Dental Care advises patients to watch for these warning signs of periodontal disease: persistent bad breath, bleeding gums during brushing or flossing, red or swollen gums, gum recession (teeth appearing longer), loose teeth, pus between the gums and teeth, or changes in how your teeth fit together when biting. Periodontal disease is often painless in its early stages, which is why regular dental examinations — where the hygiene team measures gum pocket depths — are essential for early detection and treatment.
The team at Etobicoke Dental Care recommends brushing for at least two minutes twice daily, flossing daily to remove bacteria from between teeth (which accounts for approximately 30% of tooth surfaces), cleaning your tongue with a tongue scraper, staying well hydrated to prevent dry mouth, chewing sugarless gum to stimulate saliva flow, and using non-alcohol sulphur-reducing mouth rinses or chlorine dioxide mouthwashes that neutralize the volatile sulphur compounds responsible for bad breath. If bad breath persists despite good oral hygiene, a dental evaluation is recommended to rule out underlying gum disease or other causes.

Yes. Etobicoke Dental Care provides professional teeth whitening using custom-moulded trays and professional-grade whitening gel at concentrations up to 15% — much stronger than over-the-counter strips or pens. Results vary depending on the cause and degree of discolouration, but most patients achieve a noticeably brighter smile. A consultation is recommended first to ensure whitening is appropriate for your specific situation, particularly if you have sensitive teeth, gum disease, or blue-grey discolouration (which does not respond to peroxide-based whitening).
