Your Dentist in East York, Toronto, ON

Yes, we're actively welcoming new patients from Crescent Town, Danforth Village, Old East York, and the wider East York community. Whether you've just moved to the neighbourhood, are switching from another dentist, or simply haven't had a regular one in a while, getting started is easy. You can book online through our website or call our office directly, and most new patients are able to get an appointment scheduled within just a couple of weeks of reaching out.

Yes, we accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan, along with most major private insurance providers, so you have options no matter your situation. We also offer direct billing whenever possible. If you're eligible, claims can be submitted directly to your insurance provider to help simplify the payment process. If you're ever unsure whether a specific treatment is covered under your plan, just ask our team before your appointment, and we'll check your benefits for you.

We're located right near Victoria Park subway station, which means a good number of our patients simply take the TTC instead of dealing with driving or parking. If you live in Crescent Town, Danforth Village, or anywhere along that stretch of the Danforth, getting to us is genuinely easy and quick. It's one of the reasons people from this area choose us over dentists further away that require a car.

Dental pain rarely shows up at a convenient time, so we do everything we can to fit emergency patients in the same day, especially when it comes to severe pain, noticeable swelling, or a tooth that's cracked or broken. The best thing to do is call our East York office as soon as symptoms start so we know what's going on and can prioritize getting you seen quickly, rather than waiting it out.

We treat root canals right here at our office rather than automatically referring you out to a specialist for something we're equipped to handle ourselves. Our dentists will first evaluate the tooth carefully to confirm a root canal is actually the right course of action, and they'll walk you through exactly what the procedure involves before starting, so you're never caught off guard partway through treatment.

Crowns are a regular, routine part of what we do here, whether that's protecting a tooth after a root canal or fully rebuilding one that's cracked, worn down, or weakened from a large old filling. During your exam, we'll go over the different material options available along with what each one costs, so you have a clear picture of what you're getting before any treatment actually begins.

Our team brings a genuinely wide range of training and experience to the table. Dr. Steven Yee completed his dental education at the University of Sydney, Dr. Payam Fakhri holds advanced degrees alongside his dental training, and Dr. Lina Elmassad has been practicing since 2011, including time spent in Ottawa. Between international training and years of real hands-on clinical experience, you're in the hands of a team that's handled far more than routine checkups.

Yes, we offer Saturday appointments in addition to select weekday evenings, so you're not boxed into a standard nine-to-five schedule that clashes with your job or your kids' activities. A lot of our patients specifically appreciate having a weekend option available. It's worth giving our office a quick call to confirm the exact Saturday hours currently in place, since that's the kind of detail worth double-checking before you plan your visit around it.
