Services
General and Family Dentistry
Our preventive dental services focus on maintaining oral health through regular checkups, cleanings, and patient education. We emphasize early detection of issues like cavities and gum disease to prevent complications. Tailored for families, we offer child-friendly visits starting at age two, teaching proper hygiene habits while ensuring comfortable experiences for all ages.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth, restoring function and aesthetics through titanium posts fused with jawbone tissue. Our team guides patients through the entire process, from initial consultation to final restoration, using advanced imaging for precise placement. Implants help maintain facial structure and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting.
Porcelain Veneers
Custom-crafted porcelain veneers address cosmetic concerns like discoloration, chips, and misalignment by bonding thin shells to tooth surfaces. We've provided this service since the 1980s, creating natural-looking transformations that last decades. The process involves minimal enamel removal while dramatically improving smile appearance.
Root Canal Therapy
Modern root canal procedures eliminate infection from tooth pulp chambers using advanced technology for accuracy and patient comfort. We address pain caused by decay or trauma through thorough cleaning and sealing of affected canals. Most treatments now require fewer appointments compared to older methods.
Gum Disease Treatment
Our certified periodontist specializes in diagnosing and treating gum disease at all stages. Treatment plans may include scaling, root planing, or surgical interventions to restore tissue health. We emphasize early intervention to prevent tooth loss and address systemic health connections like cardiovascular risks associated with untreated periodontal conditions.

The best dental care I have ever experienced! All the staff is so warm and friendly! Dentist visits always make me nervous, but Dr. Axelrod always explains procedures to me in detail and is very smooth in his work. They are very reasonable on pricing too! Great place to check out if youre looking for a stress free dental experience!

Our family has been visiting Dr. Axelrod and the team for...about 25 years. We started there because other dentists couldnt quite do a good enough job rough edges, wide gaps, slow painful service. Instead we have found the dental work done here has always been top notch. We never have to wait long for our turn in the chair. Cleanings take a long time because the hygienists are thorough. Billing is expeditious. And everyone we encounter is super friendly.

Not sure why Marcella Marcelle and Elisio Jenkins in the reviews below are going around bashing a bunch of Oshawa dentists, but people like me are looking for honest reviews on Google. I have been going to this dentist since I was a kid and at every single visit Dr. Sam and his staff have treated with me with kindness and gentleness. There is always a great vibe here! Google shouldn't allow fake reviews!

I went to visit my cousin in Oshawa and had an accident that chipped 2 of my front teeth, my uncle called Your Smile Dental Care and told them of my dilemma and without hesitation they told him to bring me right over. Once there, the staff were very professional and had wonderful chair side manners' that put me at ease with the whole situation. The doctor reassured me that they would take great care of me and they did, I am usually terrified at the dentist and I have to say that was the most pleasant experience at a dentist office I have ever had. Thank you Your Smile!
