I had a wonderful experience at Little Italy Dental. I arrived as a new patient in a new city in need of an emergency tooth extraction. Dr. Yiu. and Dr. Wong were both extremely thorough, walking me through each step of the process and checking in regularly between appointments. Alongside their work, the staff behind the front desk are all incredible—going out of their way to slot me into earlier appointments when I needed them and helping me navigate my insurance paperwork. I could not be happier with the outcome and will definitely be returning in the future.

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.
