Comprehensive Dental Services

At our modern Scarborough clinic, we use the latest technology to deliver complete dental services under one roof. Our offerings include preventive, cosmetic, restorative, and orthodontic treatments. Key services include:

• Teeth Whitening—Professional in-office whitening for a brighter smile. Our advanced whitening treatments can deliver long-lasting results (often up to several years) with minimal sensitivity.
• Dental Implants—Permanent tooth replacement to restore chewing function and confidence. Experienced implant planning and placement by Dr. Salazar ensures natural-looking results.
• Wisdom Teeth Removal—Safe, gentle extraction of impacted or painful third molars. We provide oral surgery options in Scarborough with sedation as needed to ensure comfort.
• Root Canal Treatment—Painless endodontic care to save infected teeth and relieve pain. Our office uses modern techniques to make root canals comfortable and efficient.
• Dental Bonding—Cosmetic bonding repairs chips, cracks, or small gaps with tooth-colored resin for an immediate smile fix.
• Fluorosis Treatment—Cosmetic solutions for teeth affected by fluorosis (tooth staining), including whitening or microabrasion to improve appearance.
• Cosmetic Dentistry—A full range of cosmetic procedures (veneers, bonding, whitening) to enhance your smile’s appearance. For example, we use porcelain veneers (ultra-thin shells bonded to teeth) to cover imperfections and achieve a flawless look.
• Porcelain Veneers – Custom-designed ceramic laminates that mask chips, stains, or gaps for a perfect smile.
• Dental Sealants – Protective coatings applied to molars’ grooves to prevent cavities. The ADA notes that sealants “effectively prevent caries lesions” by sealing pits and fissures on chewing surfaces. We use dental sealants, especially for children and teens, to protect newly erupted teeth.
• Invisalign Clear Aligners – Virtually invisible orthodontic trays that straighten teeth without metal braces. We specialize in Invisalign care for teens and adults. By using clear aligner therapy, patients avoid unsightly braces and enjoy a more comfortable experience.
• Children’s Dentistry – Gentle, kid-friendly dental care to establish healthy habits early. Our team is experienced working with young patients, making visits fun and stress-free. We provide preventive treatments like fluoride and sealants to safeguard little smiles.
• Dental X-Rays—Digital imaging for accurate diagnosis. Our state-of-the-art digital dental X-rays use 80–90% less radiation than traditional film, enabling us to detect cavities, gum disease, and other issues early for timely treatment.
• Periodontal Therapy—Specialized gum treatment to prevent and treat gum disease. Healthy gums are crucial for keeping teeth. We offer deep cleanings and maintenance to maintain gum health and protect against bone loss.
• Custom Mouth Guards—Personalized night guards and sports mouthguards. We fabricate snug-fitting guards to protect teeth from grinding or sports injuries. In fact, studies show custom-made mouthguards are the most effective way to prevent sports-related dental injuries.
• Oral Hygiene Services—Routine professional cleanings and exams to keep your smile healthy. We emphasize patient education on brushing, flossing, and preventive care at every visit.
• Dental Crowns & Bridges—Durable restorations to repair and replace teeth. Crowns cover damaged teeth for strength and function, and bridges fill gaps from missing teeth. Our clinic provides precision-fit crowns and bridges to restore chewing and appearance

Our multilingual team (including Tagalog-speaking staff, as reflected by our “Mabuhay!” greeting) strives to make every visit comfortable and personalized. We offer amenities like a free Invisalign consultation for new and existing patients, flexible payment options (including financing), and Spanish or Filipino translation if needed.
