Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium posts fused with jawbone. Our Guelph practice offers single and multiple implant placements with natural-looking crowns. Patients benefit from improved chewing function, speech clarity, and facial structure preservation while avoiding traditional denture discomfort.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly using custom-made, removable plastic trays. This orthodontic solution corrects misalignment without metal braces, offering comfort and aesthetic benefits. Our Guelph team provides personalized treatment plans with periodic tray adjustments for gradual tooth movement.
Children's Dentistry
Our pediatric dental services include routine exams, fluoride treatments, and preventive care for young patients. Nitrous oxide sedation ensures anxious children receive comfortable treatment. Early intervention promotes lifelong oral health habits while making dental visits positive experiences through kid-friendly environments.
Emergency Dentistry
Same-day emergency appointments address dental trauma, severe toothaches, and broken teeth. Dr. Ahmad provides immediate pain relief through extractions, root canals, or restorative procedures. After-hours voicemail returns within 12 business hours ensure timely care for urgent oral health issues.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services remove stains through in-office treatments and take-home kits. Our Guelph clinic uses safe bleaching agents that strengthen enamel while achieving brighter smiles. Custom trays ensure even application with results visible within weeks of treatment completion.

My recent visit to Scottsdale Dental Centre was excellent! The receptionists are always welcoming and friendly, the hygienists do a spectacular job and are very informative, and Dr. Ahmad is an excellent dentist with great knowledge and very good with people. This is the reason why my family and I continue with our dental visits at Scottsdale Dental Centre despite moving to Cambridge many years ago.

Since I moved to Guelph, I have been coming to Scottsdale Dental. I really appreciate the positive, helpful attitudes of the entire staff. Both of the doctors I have seen for fillings or extractions have been very patient with me (and my fear of needles) and extremely efficient in what they do. Who knew you could have a tooth pulled in 10 minutes?

The staff is AMAZING!!!! Friendly attitude and professionalism staring with Lorie at the front desk , Heather the hygienist and Dr. Ahmed. My 1st visit after Covid-19 for cleaning and you feel that protection is well planned by having work space under a bubble for isolation! Heather is skilled and calm dealing with nervous client, Dr. Ahmed takes the time to explain and provides options! My Birthday gift and acknowledgement was unexpected and greatly appreciated! Not only great in doing their job but excellent in dealing with people!!

First of all I would like to say that my experiences with Scottsdale Dental Centre have been excellent. That begins even before I get to sit down in the chair to have my teeth worked on. Reminders and confirmations about appointments are a great feature that I like for sure. Secondly the positive vibe given by reception team is very professional and welcoming. And last but not least my recent visit saw me in the very capable hands of Heather who walked me through the xray procedure then spent a long time scaling and cleaning my teeth. Heather has a great steady hand and I immediately felt comfortable
