A Cosmetic and Family Dentist in Mississauga
Many adults put off the dentist because of a bad experience in the past. If you’re looking for a dentist for nervous patients in Mississauga, Dr. Tina is known for a gentle, patient manner. She explains what she’s doing before she does it, and you can ask to stop and take a break at any time.
She is also comfortable with young children, including their first visits. A calm first experience helps kids feel relaxed about the dentist as they grow up.
What to Expect at Your Visit
Your first appointment with Dr. Tina starts with a conversation about your teeth, any pain or worries, and what you’d like to change. Then comes an exam, with X-rays if you need them.
Before any treatment, Dr. Tina goes through what she found, the options and the cost, and answers your questions. If you want to change something about your smile, she’ll talk through which cosmetic options suit your teeth and what results to expect.
We bill most dental insurance plans directly and accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), so you usually pay only your share on the day. New patients are welcome, with or without insurance.
