Toronto & North York Dental Specialists

DENTAL SPECIALTY GROUP

Oral surgery consists of diagnosing and surgically treating diseases, defects, and injuries of the soft and hard tissues of the teeth, mouth, jaws, and face. Our dentists always use the least invasive treatment possible for treating dental issues, but sometimes, less invasive treatment options aren’t enough and oral surgery is needed.

We understand that a beautiful, healthy-looking smile can only come from regular oral care which is why we offer a range of dental services from wisdom tooth removal, Dental Extractions, Oral Pathology, Exposure of Impacted Teeth, Dentoalveolar Surgery and more

Our family-oriented office is modern, comfortable, and staffed with warm and friendly professionals who listen to their parents’ questions and concerns. Patients of all ages are welcome.
