Dental Services Available in Downtown Toronto

Exams and professional cleanings track changes in the teeth, gums, and bite, and remove calculus that brushing cannot.

Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry in Downtown Toronto
Cosmetic concerns are often specific: a chipped front tooth, teeth that have become darker, a small gap, or one tooth that sits out of line. The same concern can still lead to different options depending on its cause.
Professional whitening can lighten certain types of discoloration. Bonding may be considered for selected chips, small gaps, or shape concerns. Porcelain veneers can change the visible color, shape, or surface of selected teeth, while Invisalign and other clear aligners gradually move teeth toward planned positions in suitable cases.
Before elective treatment is recommended, the dentist will also consider the health of the teeth and gums, existing restorations, and the bite. That helps separate what may look similar on the surface but requires a different approach clinically.
A consultation is a chance to ask what an option could realistically change, what its limitations are, and what maintenance may be involved before deciding whether you want to proceed.

An older filling may fail. A tooth can crack, become uncomfortable, or stop feeling reliable when you chew.
A smaller area of decay or damage may be treated with a filling. When more structure has been lost or weakened, a crown may be considered. Root canal therapy may be appropriate when the tissue inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected and the tooth can reasonably be treated.
Sometimes keeping a tooth is not clinically reasonable. If extraction is recommended, the dentist can explain why and discuss whether the space needs to be replaced. Bridges and dental implants are different options for missing teeth, with suitability depending on oral health, surrounding teeth, available bone, and treatment goals.
Not every problem needs extensive treatment, and not every problem is best left alone. An examination helps clarify where the tooth stands and what each reasonable option may involve in treatment, cost, maintenance, and follow-up.
When a tooth starts hurting without warning or something breaks, it can be hard to judge how urgent the situation is. Most people want to know two things first: does this need attention soon, and what should I do next?
Call the clinic and describe what happened, what you are feeling, and whether anything has changed or worsened. Persistent tooth pain, swelling, a cracked or broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, or an injury to a tooth are all reasons to get in touch
Some concerns need prompt assessment; others may be able to wait for a regular appointment. The team can discuss availability, and a dentist can examine the area before recommending treatment.
What to Expect at Market Dental Centre
Not knowing what will happen at an appointment can make it easier to keep putting one off. The details vary, but most visits follow a straightforward path.

Dental Insurance, Benefits and CDCP
Having dental coverage and knowing what it will actually pay are different things. Employer, student, and private plans can vary in annual limits, reimbursement, frequency rules, deductibles, and whether an estimate is requested in advance.
How Dental Imaging Supports Your Care
A visual examination can reveal a great deal, but some changes are difficult to see directly. Diagnostic imaging may be recommended when it can add useful information about areas between teeth, supporting bone, or changes around a tooth.
Images can also make the discussion easier to follow and provide a record for comparison over time. They support the examination; they do not replace clinical judgment or the conversation about what the findings mean.

Market Dental Centre is located at 149 Lower Jarvis Street in Downtown Toronto, a short walk from St. Lawrence Market.
Even after I moved to Oakville in 2012, I refused to find a local dentist. The commute is 100% worth it because the level of care here is unmatched. They are simply the best.
Dr Alavi was able to squeeze me into his busy schedule in order to complete some bonding for two chipped teeth.
I was in and out in 45 minutes and that included the examination and x-rays! Highly recommend Dr Alavi and his team.
Definitely i would love to be client in Market dental clinic regularly
