Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign treatment uses custom clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Our Platinum Plus certified team creates digital treatment plans using iTero scanners for precise results. The removable aligners allow normal eating and cleaning while correcting misalignment, overbites, and gaps through gradual tooth movement over 12-18 months.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions through titanium posts fused with jawbone. Our process includes surgical placement, healing periods, and custom crown attachment. This treatment prevents bone loss while restoring natural chewing function and facial structure for single or multiple missing teeth.
Children's Dentistry
Our pediatric dentistry focuses on creating positive early dental experiences. Services include preventive care, fluoride treatments, and child-friendly education. We use gentle techniques like nitrous oxide and offer Phase 1 orthodontics to guide proper dental development in children aged 6-10.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy removes infected pulp from damaged teeth to relieve pain and prevent extraction. Using modern techniques, we clean infected root canals, seal them to prevent reinfection, and restore tooth strength with crowns. This procedure preserves natural teeth while eliminating infection.
Teeth Restoration
Teeth restoration services repair damaged or missing teeth through fillings, crowns, and bridges. We use tooth-colored composite materials for natural-looking repairs of cavities, cracks, and wear. Porcelain inlays and onlays provide durable solutions for extensive tooth damage while maintaining structural integrity.

Dr Helia is an incredibly kind and compassionate dentist. As someone who is very anxious going to the dentist, I felt very safe and comfortable with her - she took the time to explain the procedure I was having done, and made sure to connect with me throughout my appointments to ensure I had breaks and the support I needed. The office itself has very friendly staff, appointments are easy to book, and the office is clean and bright and uses top of the line technology. Very happy with finding this dentist!

The staff of By The Lake Dental in Highland Creek are incredible. Friendly and knowledgeable, they made me feel totally at ease before and after my appointment. Dr. Patricia and her assistant were amazing, very gentle and patient, and gave me their utmost attention - almost as if I was the only person there. Highly recommended for any dental need. 10 out of 10!

I cant recommend these folks enough. Always a great experience, great reminder system, modern dentist in every way. They even called me in advance to schedule my son and I together when an opening came up. Their Ajax location and Highland Creek locations are both great.

Dr. Afson Ferdosmakan told me I had 5 cavities, was urging me to get them filled ASAP. This was a few months after I was told I had no cavities after getting fillings from another dentist. She made me feel like an idiot for asking her to point them out to me. After this, I got opinions from other dentists, including a family member, who told me I indeed have no cavities. Dr. Afson Ferdosmakan also bad-mouthed a patient before me, alluding to the fact that the patient was dumb for taking a shot of apple cider vinegar daily. What happened to patient confidentiality? However, this review is not a
