Services
Amalgam Free Dentistry
Our mercury-free dental solutions replace traditional metal fillings with biocompatible materials like porcelain and composite resin. This approach reduces health concerns while creating natural-looking restorations that blend seamlessly with your smile. Patients benefit from durable, aesthetic alternatives for fillings, crowns, and complex restorative treatments.
Root Canal Therapy
We specialize in saving infected teeth through precise root canal procedures using advanced techniques and equipment. Our dentists remove damaged pulp tissue while preserving tooth structure, preventing extraction and maintaining your natural bite function. Post-treatment restoration ensures long-term dental health and stability.
Dental Crowns
Custom dental crowns restore strength and appearance to damaged teeth using high-quality porcelain or ceramic materials. Our crowns completely encase compromised teeth above the gum line, providing structural support while matching your natural tooth color and shape for seamless integration.
Full Mouth Restoration
This multi-phase treatment addresses extensive dental damage through coordinated procedures like veneers, bridges, and implants. We develop personalized restoration plans to rebuild oral function and aesthetics for patients with multiple missing or severely damaged teeth, ensuring balanced bite alignment and natural appearance.
Dental Checkups
Regular professional cleanings and examinations maintain optimal oral health through plaque removal, cavity detection, and gum disease prevention. Our hygienists provide thorough cleanings while educating patients on effective home care techniques to prolong dental wellness between visits.

I am so grateful to be a patient of Dr. Daftary aka "Dr.D". She is so incredibly talented. I've also seen Dr. Khalili for an emergency visit and he was amazing! I've always been so frightened to go to the dentist. That is no longer the case...I look forward to it now!!! Dr. Daftary's dentistry is outstanding and painless. Liz did a super job with my teeth cleaning and I can't say enough about Stephanie and the rest of the Terry Fox Dental Centre staff. They are terrific. As I mentioned, I'm very grateful to be a patient here!

Dr. Daftary and Dr. Khalili are both great dentists. They are very knowledgeable and compassionate. I have a filling, crown, root canal emergency extraction done on different teeth. They were done professionally and I would highly recommend them. The office staff is friendly and welcoming and the x-ray techs/dental assistants and hygienists are thorough and gentle!

So here's a million dollar question...who actually looks forward going to the dentist? Not a whole lot of people, but I always do! It's all because of Dr. K, Dr. D, the team of hygienists and the office staff. Everyone is always so kind, and so gentle (when it comes to the cleaning). When Dr. K comes to see you, it's like catching up with a friend you haven't seen in forever. Always so genuine and fun! I've been a patient for several years here and have never had better treatment - I'd recommend this team and great group of people anytime. Keep up the amazing work, everyone!
