Complete dental care from A to Z

Extend the natural life of your teeth and maintain good oral health with routine dental care. Regular visits to your dentist, along with early intervention at the first sign of decay, can save you from pain, discomfort, and unexpected expenses. If your teeth, gums, or oral health are giving you trouble, restorative dental care can help get you back on track and feeling comfortable again. General dentistry puts your overall health first. Here are some of the results you can expect from preventive and restorative care:

Preventive Care:
  • Super clean teeth that look whiter without whitening treatments.
  • X-rays that catch problems while they are still small.
  • Healthy gums that do not itch or bleed.
  • Composite fillings that stop cavities in their tracks.
  • Less sensitivity to hot and cold foods.
  • Reverse and prevent tooth decay.
  • Extend the life of dental prosthetics and appliances.

 

Restorative Dentistry:
  • Save your natural tooth from infection
  • Replace missing teeth with a natural looking solution
  • Restore damaged teeth to like new condition
  • Custom made prosthetics and appliances
  • Eat with ease, sleep better, and enjoy an improved quality of life.

Our General Dentistry services

Composite Fillings

Tooth-coloured fillings treat cavities early to prevent further decay or permanent tooth damage. These composite fillings are colour matched to your teeth so they look and feel natural.

Dental Bonding

Repair chipped or cracked teeth and enhance the look of a healthy smile.

Dental Bridges

Close gaps and replace one or more missing teeth with a custom made dental bridge permanently fixed in place.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a key part of restorative dentistry, helping to improve the strength, appearance, and longevity of your natural teeth.

Dental Extractions

Tooth extraction is a common procedure that can be performed with minimal pain or discomfort for most patients.

Dental Implants

A dental implant functions like a natural tooth root, topped with a restoration such as a dental crown to restore function, appearance, and a natural feeling smile.

Dentures

Dentures are custom-made replacements for missing teeth. They can restore several teeth or a full arch, improving your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. We provide full and partial dentures, along with denture repairs, adjustments, and maintenance to help keep them comfortable, secure, and functioning properly.

Root Canal

Root canal treatment can be gentle, efficient, and relatively pain free, offering fast relief and saving your natural tooth.

Same-Day Crowns

Custom crafted from start to finish in a single visit, no temporary crown required.

Teeth Cleanings

Routine dental cleanings and exams help prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Most patients should schedule a cleaning and checkup every 6 to 8 months to maintain good oral health. Regular visits also help catch problems early, reducing the risk of unexpected dental pain and costly treatments later on.

The importance of early intervention and routine care

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We genuinely want to see you smile. Your oral health is our top priority, and our recommendations for routine care and early intervention come from a place of genuine concern. Keeping your teeth, gums, jaw, and tongue healthy now, and addressing problems as soon as they appear, means less discomfort, less pain, and fewer unexpected expenses down the road. That is what keeps our patients smiling.

Keep your natural teeth for longer

Did you know the leading causes of tooth loss are cavities in young adults and gum disease in older adults? Practicing good oral hygiene at home helps keep your mouth strong and healthy, and during your routine checkup, we can catch the earliest signs of gum disease and tooth decay before they progress further.

Save your money

Routine teeth cleaning and exams are relatively affordable, predictable expenses that fit easily into a budget. Treatments for the earliest signs of tooth decay, such as composite fillings, also tend to be low cost and a smart long-term investment. More extensive procedures needed to address serious dental health issues often come with a higher price tag.

Don't even think about it

One of the best things about good oral health is that you barely think about it at all. There are no aches, no inflammation, no all-consuming toothache. You do not have to worry about the food you want to eat or feel self-conscious about your smile. Well maintained teeth feel naturally beautiful, comfortable, and reliable.

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues, as well as the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment, we want to understand the full picture of your oral health and smile aesthetics, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there

I have been going to Little Italy Dentistry for decades, as have my two children, and I love them. The staff are gems, friendly and so very helpful. The dental hygienists are meticulous, cheerful, and care about their work. Dr. Dico is the best! I have recommended her to multiple friends, and everyone thanks me for the reco. She provides excellent care, thoughtful, attentive and extremely well-researched, and she is always such a pleasure to see. My young kids are happy to go the dentist. I think that says it all.

Amazing experience - we came in as my son had a dental emergency and they fit us in right away! The reception, staff, and dentist were so good with my son keeping him happy and comfortable. They were very compassionate and helped us out in a scary time! Would happily recommend this practice to everyone I know after our experience today.

I've been coming here for many, many years, and while some names and faces may have changed, everyone has always been very professional, accommodating and friendly and kind. Had work done here from cleaning, cavities, to some dental surgery, and always felt listened to and well taken care of. There's a reason I continue to come here, including when I lived in a different city for a few years. Many thanks to everyone who has helped and taken care of me for all these years, and extra thanks to Dr Dico, Dr Wong, Erin, Deema, Dana, Guida and Vlad!

Little Italy Dentistry has been our dental home for over 20 years, and even though my wife and I no longer live in Toronto, we still make the 1.5-hour drive into the city for appointments—because the care is simply worth it. The service is consistently top-notch. The team is professional, friendly, and genuinely helpful, and they’ve always made us feel comfortable and well looked after. We’ve even appreciated their flexibility on the occasions when traffic or travel has made us run a little late. If you’re looking for a dental clinic you can truly trust, I can’t recommend Little Italy Dentistry highly enough.

I’ve been coming here for many years, and the hygiene team continues to impress me every single time. Every cleaning is gentle, detailed, and done with real care. My recent cleaning with Erin was no exception ; she’s truly a hidden gem. Kind, thorough, and always making the visit feel easy. She genuinely motivated me. I’ve also seen all the dentists over the years, and each one has been professional, kind, and incredibly personable. For over 20 years, I’ve trusted my whole family with this team. My smile has always felt in the best hands. A big thank you to Dr. Yiu’s team: Guida for her thoughtful treatment planning, Dr. Dico who was my very first dentist, Dr. Wong for his excellent perio care and now my husband’s implants, and of course Dr. Yiu for bringing everything together so smoothly. Thank you for taking such good care of my family and me. You’ve truly become our family too. — D.C.
