Family dentistry for every age in Oshawa
One clinic for your whole family. Kids, parents and grandparents all see the same team on Simcoe Street North for checkups, cleanings and fillings, with every visit on one chart, year after year.
One dental team for every generation
Good oral health starts with the same three visits at any age: a checkup to catch problems early, a cleaning to remove what your toothbrush can’t reach, and a filling to repair a cavity before it spreads.
At Simcoe Smile Dental, all three sit under one general and family dentistry program, led by Dr. Dusa Sorichetti and her team. Your child’s first checkup, your filling and a grandparent’s cleaning all stay on the same chart, tracked by the same people.
New patients from Oshawa and across Durham Region are welcome. Appointments run mornings, afternoons and early evenings, so you can fit them around work and school.
Signs it's time to book a visit
Some signs point to a routine visit. Others mean you shouldn’t wait for your next appointment.
Over six months since your last visit
Plaque and tartar build up even with good brushing. A checkup catches problems before they need bigger treatment.
Bleeding gums
Bleeding when you brush or floss is an early sign of gum irritation. A cleaning and exam can address it before it becomes gum disease.
A dark spot or hole
A dark spot, hole or rough patch is often a cavity. A filling fixes it before it reaches the nerve.
Sensitivity
Pain with hot, cold or sweet foods can point to decay, a worn filling or exposed dentin that we should look at.
Food catching or bad breath
Food that keeps catching in one spot, or bad breath that brushing doesn’t fix, can mean a small cavity, plaque buildup or early gum disease.
Pain when chewing
Pain on one side is worth a checkup to rule out a cracked tooth or a problem that needs a root canal.
The three visits that keep your family healthy
What a visit usually looks like, start to finish.
1
Checkup
A full exam of your teeth, gums and mouth, with an oral cancer screening, gum pocket measurements, a bite check and an X-ray when needed. Most patients come every six months.
2
Cleaning
We remove the plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing miss, especially around the back molars and gumline. Most patients are due every six months.
3
Fillings when needed
If we find decay, a chip or a crack, we remove the damage and rebuild the tooth with a tooth-coloured composite, ceramic or glass ionomer filling.
New patient exam and cleaning for $199
Your first visit includes a full exam, two X-rays and a cleaning (two units of scaling and polish) for $199. We bill CDCP and most private insurance directly, and we’re happy to check your coverage before treatment starts.
Questions we hear a lot
Something else on your mind? Call 289-312-1482 and ask us.
How often should I get a checkup and cleaning?
Most patients should come in every six months. If you have gum disease or a history of cavities, our dentists may suggest a shorter interval.
What happens during a checkup?
We examine your teeth and gums, do an oral cancer screening and take an X-ray if needed to check between your teeth. We also measure gum pocket depth and can treat early white spots with fluoride before they become cavities.
How much does a teeth cleaning cost without insurance?
A cleaning typically costs $120 to $300, depending on how much scaling you need. New patients can book a $199 cleaning and exam that includes two X-rays.
What kinds of fillings do you use?
We use tooth-coloured composite, ceramic or glass ionomer, depending on the tooth and the patient. Composite often lasts 7 to 10 years or more, glass ionomer (often used for children) 5 to 7 years, and ceramic 15 years or more.
Do you accept CDCP and dental insurance?
Yes. We accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan and most private insurance, with direct billing so you only pay your portion, if any, at the visit. Learn more on our CDCP page.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes. New patients are welcome, and you can call 289-312-1482 or book online.
Do you treat kids?
Yes. Our family dentistry covers kids as well as adults, so the whole family can be seen at one clinic. See our kids dentist page for details.
What if a cavity is too far gone for a filling?
If decay has reached the nerve, a filling alone won’t fix it. We may recommend a root canal to save the tooth or, in more severe cases, an extraction. Catching decay early at a checkup is the best way to avoid this.
