General Dentistry in Newmarket, ON
Comprehensive preventive and restorative care for every member of your family, all under one roof.
About General Dentistry in Newmarket
General dentistry is the foundation of lifelong oral health. It covers the routine care that keeps your teeth and gums healthy, along with the treatments that repair problems before they grow. At East River Dental Care, our team looks after patients of all ages, from a child's first checkup to a grandparent's denture repair.
Regular visits let us spot cavities, gum disease and other concerns early, when treatment is simpler and more comfortable. Our approach is straightforward. We explain what we see, walk you through your options, and never rush your decision.
Our office is on Davis Drive in Newmarket Plaza, and we have cared for local families for over 40 years. Whether you need a routine cleaning or help with something more involved, you will find everything you need in one place.
Our General Dentistry Services
New Patient Exam
Your first visit is a chance to get to know our team, and for us to get to know you. We review your health history, examine your teeth and gums, and talk through your goals and concerns. You leave with a clear picture of your oral health and a plan that makes sense for you. Read more about our New Patient Exam.
Oral Exams & Cleanings
Routine visits are the best way to prevent problems before they start. A professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar that brushing at home can miss, and your exam checks for cavities, gum changes and other concerns. We will suggest a visit schedule that fits your needs. See our Oral Exams & Cleanings.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screening is a careful check of the soft tissues in and around your mouth for early warning signs. Finding changes early makes a real difference, which is why screening is an important part of a thorough exam. Learn more about Oral Cancer Screening.
Family Dental Care
One office for everyone in your household, from young children to older adults. Care under one roof makes scheduling simpler, and our team gets to know each family member so every visit feels familiar and personal. Explore our Family Dental Care.
Root Canal Treatment
A root canal treats infection or damage inside a tooth so you can keep the natural tooth instead of losing it. The goal is to relieve pain, not cause it. We explain every step ahead of time so you know what to expect. Find out more about Root Canal Treatment.
Extractions
Sometimes a tooth cannot be saved because of damage, decay or crowding. When removal is the best option, we make the process as comfortable as we can and talk with you about ways to replace the tooth afterward. Learn about our Extractions.
TMJ & TMD Treatment
Jaw pain, clicking, headaches or trouble chewing can point to a problem with the jaw joint. We assess your bite and jaw, then discuss treatment options that ease discomfort and protect your teeth. Read about TMJ & TMD Treatment.
Periodontal Care
Healthy gums support healthy teeth. If you notice bleeding, swelling or tenderness, we can assess your gum health and recommend care to protect your smile. Our hygienists play an important role in keeping gums healthy. Learn more about Periodontal Care.
Emergency Dentist
A sudden toothache, swelling or a broken tooth cannot wait. We reserve time every day for urgent dental needs, so same-day care is available when you need it most. Visit our Emergency Dentist page.
Children's Dentistry
A positive early experience builds healthy habits and confidence that last a lifetime. We take time to help children feel comfortable, and we make each visit gentle and easy to understand. See our Children's Dentistry.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to help guard against cavities. They are often recommended for children and teens. Learn more about Dental Sealants.
