Our family has been going to Dr. Nourkeyhani at Leslie North Dental for a long time, and we couldn’t be happier. He’s always professional and caring. Elham, the office manager, is amazing at making everything run smoothly. We highly recommend this team!

Switched here from my old family dentist a couple of years ago. Had my first cavity filling today—it was minor, and they didn’t freeze. Didn’t feel a thing and was over in 20 minutes. They give dentists a good name!

Excellent. If I could give more than five stars, I would. Dr Nazaran and his whole staff are professional, compassionate, more than capable and I have no “Dentist Fear Syndrome” when going there. As close to pain free dentistry as I’ve known. And they accept CDCP (Canadian Dental Care Plan), so Bonus. I highly recommend this dental office.

As a parent, finding the right dental care for my children is of utmost importance to me. I am thrilled to share our wonderful experience at Dentist, where my son received top-notch dental care that exceeded all expectations.From the moment we walked in, the staff at Dentist made us feel welcomed and at ease. They have a fantastic way of creating a warm and friendly environment that instantly put my son at ease, which is no small feat for a child who was initially nervous about visiting the dentist.The dentist and dental hygienist were incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. They took the time to explain each step of the examination and treatment process in a way that my son could understand, turning what could have been a daunting experience into an educational one. I truly appreciate the effort they put into making dental care a positive and educational journey for kids.I highly recommend Dentist to all parents seeking the best dental care for their children. They have certainly earned our trust, and we look forward to our next visit with smiles on our faces!Sincerely,Sara

FAQs

When a tooth gets damaged from cavities or physical impact, its function, form, and integrity can be lost. There are well-established methods to return the tooth to its original functional and aesthetic state in these cases. Namely, there are two different approaches for restoring damaged teeth: One is Direct Restoration, and another is Indirect restoration.

Direct restoration typically needs only one visit to the dentist. It involves using a soft, malleable filling that is carefully injected into the tooth. Once the dental filler fills the target area, it conforms itself to restore the tooth’s shape and function and hardens to complete the restoration process.

An indirect restoration is a more extensive procedure that involves taking dental impressions of the damaged tooth and using externally prepared materials such as crowns, veneers, and bridges to restore the tooth’s aesthetic and functional characteristics. Click here to see how Leslie North Dental can suit your indirect restoration needs.

For the patient, there is no need to prepare for a restoration procedure. There are two parts to the restoration process:

  1. Preparing the tooth.
    1. The dentist prepares the tooth for restoration by cutting out areas of the weakened structure or dental decay.
    2. Occasionally, your dentist may use a temporary restoration when full restoration cannot occur within the same session.
  2. Placing the restorative material onto the target tooth.

    1. Direct restoration

      1. The dentist applies the restorative material directly to the prepared tooth and lets it harden to complete the restoration process.

    2. Indirect restoration

      1. After preparation is complete, the dentist takes an impression of the tooth to send it to a design technician to prepare the custom-fit restoration material.

      2. On a second visit, the dentist applies the custom-made restoration onto the prepared tooth with a permanent bond.
