Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through porcelain veneers, crowns, and professional teeth whitening. We create personalized treatment plans using advanced materials and techniques to address discoloration, misalignment, and structural imperfections. Patients benefit from natural-looking results that enhance facial aesthetics while maintaining functional integrity.
Dental Implants
We provide durable dental implant solutions using Straumann implants for single or multiple missing teeth. The process includes surgical placement and restoration with crowns or bridges, offering permanent alternatives to traditional dentures. Our team ensures precise integration with jawbone structure for long-term stability and chewing efficiency.
Orthodontics
Our orthodontic treatments include Invisalign clear aligners and traditional braces for children and adults. Customized plans correct misalignment, bite issues, and spacing problems using advanced diagnostic tools. Patients receive discreet, comfortable solutions that improve oral health and confidence through gradual tooth movement.
Emergency Dentistry
We offer same-day emergency dental services for toothaches, infections, and trauma. Immediate assessments determine appropriate interventions like root canals or extractions. Sedation options ensure patient comfort during urgent procedures, with follow-up care plans to restore oral health and prevent complications.
Periodontal Care
Our periodontal services address gum disease through scaling, root planing, and surgical interventions. We treat receding gums and bone loss using antibiotic therapies and regenerative procedures. Early intervention prevents systemic health complications while preserving tooth-supporting structures for long-term dental stability.

The receptionist remembers me from my childhood, and the hygenist I saw on my last visit was very kind and attentive. Dentists here have always been great. It's a family business, and the quality of care shows. Thank you!

Dr Hussein, Jack, and the entire Trillium team are amazing. They are so friendly and accommodating and make every visit an enjoyable one. I recently had 2 wisdom teeth removed and the procedure could not have gone smoother. Dr Hussein was great at answering any questions I had along the way and I had absolutely no pain afterwards. Would definitely recommend checking them out!

Report
I recently finished my Invisalign treatment with Dr. Aadil Shamji and his team, and I could not be more satisfied with the outcome. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, Dr. Shamji managed my treatment with a specific focus on my needs as a client. I asked him all kinds of questions and he not only welcomed them, but also gave me the information I needed to reassure me that my treatment was going according to plan. Although I began with an Invisalign Express treatment plan, I was not entirely satisfied with the initial result, so Dr. Shamji went above and beyond to coordinate getting

Receptionists are very kind and efficient! Dentist seems really passionate and is a stand-up guy, explains everything and understands financial constraints and won't try to talk you into something you can't afford.
Notes:
- I personally had a tooth extracted and not only was it under 5 minutes for the whole thing, but he even got the tooth out without shattering it and could tell I was a bit nervous so he talked me through it.
- Had several x-rays done and decided only 2 of them were useful so HE DIDNT CHARGE ME for the others
Overall, best dentist I've had and I hate anything regarding dental

Would definitely recommend!! Honestly, I am terrified of going to the dentist, have severe anxiety, to the point that I havent seen a dentist in about 6 years until I found Trillium Dental! This was by far the best experience I have ever had with a dentist and dental assistant, they talked me through every bit of the appt and tooth extraction, they had more patience with me than I have ever seen. Thank you so much Trillium Dental!
