Many people would never think of not having a family doctor, but quite a few of those same in-dividuals never get around to finding a family dental professional. It always seems to be some-thing that can wait until a toothache or some other issue arises. In fact, there are a number of reasons why you need a family dentist right this minute. Consider these five examples and then start looking for a dentist today.

Same Professional For the Entire Family

There’s something great about having a relationship with a single practice that is capable of taking care of every member of the family. Even if it’s just you and a spouse right now, children will be part of the household eventually. There may even be an elderly parent who eventually comes to dwell under your roof. When that happens, having an established relationship with one of the family dentists in town ensures that no one has to do without the best dental care available.

All Your Dental History in One Place

When you choose to see the same Markham family dentist from year to year, all of your dental records are in one place. There’s a complete history to consult when and if the dental professional notices something that seems to be a little unusual. In many cases, having access to information about past treatments or conditions makes it all the easier to develop a complete diagnosis. With that in mind, it’s easier to settle on the best course of treatment. See having the same dentist take care of you and the family as another way to protect your overall health.

Easier to Keep Up With Appointments for Everyone

When the entire family visits the same family dental clinic, keeping up with appointments is a lot simpler. You always know when one family member is due for a teeth cleaning and when another needs an annual checkup. In many cases, you can simplify things by having multiple family members have appointments on the same day. Think of how much easier it would be to organize the schedule when everything is done at the same clinic and on the same day.

You Always Know Where to Turn for Help

Who would you call if a dental emergency arose? People who don’t have established relation-ships with local dentists have to scramble to find someone who will see them. When your family dental professional offers emergency services, help is always just a phone call away. That’s espe-cially critical if the emergency is due to an injury and something needs to be done now instead of tomorrow.

A Professional You Know and Trust

Rapport with a dental professional is a lot like building a professional relationship with the family physician. You know the dentist and have come to trust his or her judgment. That makes it a lot easier to ask questions, seek advice, and in general communicate about anything that could impact your oral health. Asking some of those questions may be more difficult if you’ve never seen the dentist before.

Everyone here is very friendly and provides excellent care. I received a full exam on my first visit, and everyone took time to answer my questions and ensured I felt comfortable the entire time - exactly what you want when visiting the dentist. I highly recommend Markham Smile Centre for anyone looking for great dental care.

There is an ample parking space before you get into the office. The receptionists welcome us friendly with proper COVID-19 procedures in place. The staff worked with patient very patiently and professionally. My teeth cleaning was done by Ying, she explained every detail to me and I did not feel any pain or uncomfortable at all. Thanks to the best team !

It's been a while since I've been to a dentist but I'm trying to get back on track with health in general. Overall it was great going to Markham Smile Centre! The receptionist (I believe she was Kim) was friendly. The hygienist, Ying, was attentive and gentle during the cleaning; x-ray tech (forgot her name, sorry!) was great too. Dr. Sara Riad explained things with good detail. Looking forward to going back!

I was someone who was nervous and anxious about visiting the dentist, but the team at Markham Smile Centre has made me feel SO comfortable. Kim is so patient and helpful and Dr. Hwang and Rory are both so professional and wonderful. They thoroughly explain the procedure to make you comfortable beforehand and are very gentle. I now look forward to visiting the dentist!

I found this place on a whim when I was looking for a new dentist in Markham. My hygienist ying was super nice and her cleaning was very gentle yet thorough. I saw Dr.Jason and he was very nice and informative in regards to what needs to be done and provided me with all the information I needed to make a choice. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new dentist, they’re accepting new patients!!

I have been to many dentists in my life, Dr. Jason is easily the best dentist I have ever been too. He does everything he can to make you comfortable no matter the procedure and is a true professional, as does all the staff at Markham Smile Centre. Truly an amazing dentistry

The clinic was clean and the staff was very polite. I particularly liked the fact that everything was explained to me before going in for the procedure so I knew what to expect at each step. The dental hygienist who did the cleaning for me was also very gentle and took my concerns into consideration. I will definitely recommend them.

Upon arriving to the Markham Smile Centre, my son and I were greeted with a warm welcome by the receptionists. The hygienists and Dentist were very gentle and transparent with what they were doing. The hygienist that worked on my 9 year old son was patient and very friendly with him, which helped ease his nerves. Our overall experience was A+.

Since I was little, I have always hated going to the dentist... Its always uncomfortable and unpleasant. These days, visiting the dentist isn’t so bad! Dr Jason, Rory, and the lovely staff at reception make the experience 100x better. I have had absolutely no issues with the gum graft and cleanings that I’ve gotten done here. Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful, even when I’m calling in or emailing a hundred questions :). I would highly recommend Markham Smile Centre.

KL

Dr. Ko is very professional and patient. Whenever I have questions and concerns he would always reply me . I would say this this dental office take care of you all the way. I would highly recommend everyone to come here for any dental works. =)
