Village Dental Etobicoke

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Regular preventive dental care, including checkups and cleanings, to lay the groundwork for lasting oral health.

Restorative treatments to repair and replace damaged teeth.

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.

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.

Replacement options for missing teeth, including dentures and dental implants.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 and Dr. Mottaghi take an individualized approach to pediatric care, adapting their communication style and treatment techniques to each child's needs and comfort level. Parents can feel confident knowing their children receive attentive, compassionate dental care in a facility equipped with modern digital dentistry tools that minimize discomfort and appointment time.

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.

Surgical removal of wisdom teeth.

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.

Orthodontic care to straighten teeth and correct bite issues.

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.
