At Yonge & Dundas, one level below the street and across from the Eaton Centre, the clinic is built around a simple exchange. You see what the dentist sees, you hear what the options cost, and you decide without pressure.
Three dentists bring sixty-five combined years to that exchange. The team around them makes the visit run as carefully as the treatment.

Counted, not claimed
combined years of steady hands
Three general dentists at one Yonge & Dundas clinic — each career itemized rather than compressed into a vague team claim.
RCDSO, ODA & CDA members
The number is the sum of three careers. The details begin two pages on.
The practice
R U Smiling Dental sits at Yonge & Dundas, one level below the street on the same floor as the TMU station platform. It is a modern clinic with the equipment to match, from wireless 3D scanning to same-day imaging.
The machinery matters less than what happens after the image appears. The finding goes up on the screen, the language stays ordinary, and your question gets answered before the plan moves on.
Options go side by side. Costs are put in writing before treatment begins. Insurance claims are filed electronically from the desk, so no paperwork goes home with you.
Walk-ins are welcome when the chair is free. The doors stay open until eight every weekday, because downtown does not stop at five, and the desk answers the phone until we close.
“Trust is what we want to build in the long-lasting relationships with our patients.”
You decide at the end of the visit, in your own time.

Whichever of the three you see, the plan is shown to you and the decision stays yours.

The desk books you with whichever dentist has an opening that suits you. Each of them explains the plan before it begins.
The hands you’ll shake
Every photograph here is of the person named beneath it. No stock portraits stand in for real people, and no invented biographies fill the space. Where a colleague has not supplied a photograph, a monogram holds the place instead of a face that is not theirs.

My favourite place! The dental hygienist, reception and Dr are all amazing… Dr. Lana is fantastic and really cares about all her patients.
Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and they do what they can to make your visit as comfortable as possible. The utmost professionalism no matter the situation.
The team was very flexible and made me feel comfortable through all procedures… also very affordable compared to other dentists in Ontario.
A review is the patient’s own statement about their visit. The credentials, the hours and the published prices elsewhere on this site are the clinic’s own claims, and the clinic has to be able to support them.
