General dentists are considered primary dental care providers. They treat adults and children alike, and provide oral health care services that are integral to general health. Most general dentists take overall responsibility for the diagnosis and treatment of most dental health needs. They often work in collaboration with family doctors, as well as dental specialists, particularly when more specialized procedures are required. For a typical patient, it’s important to commit to regular and ongoing visits to the dentist – it will ensure a preventive approach to dental health.

Prevention means keeping teeth and gums healthy, avoiding cavities, and doing everything to inhibit gum disease. For Dr. Lloyd Pedvis, dentist in Woodbridge Vaughan and the staff, oral health care is all about the basics:  daily brushing (including flossing); regular clinic visits and professional cleaning; and preventive measures to ensure early diagnosis of potential problems. As such, the Mackenzie team offers a range of services - from teeth whitening, to cavity detection, to dental bonding, to cosmetic work.

Our General Dentistry Services Include:

 

Amalgam-Free Fillings

For those who desire mercury free fillings, these “composite” fillings restore a tooth rather than "fill" a tooth. When required, amalgam fillings can be fully replaced with mercury free fillings.

Moderate Sedation

For patients who are anxious in a clinic environment, Moderate Sedation allows for a relaxed and comfortable experience. Patients are fully awake, but don’t feel any pain during the procedure.

Dental Crowns

Family Dentistry Clinic Woodbridge

Crowns are designed to "cap" a tooth. They restore the shape and strength of the original tooth. Once cemented into place, crowns encase the visible part of the tooth, improving appearance. 

Velscope Cancer Screen

Velscope is the leading technology for screening oral cancer. Velscope identifies tissue that might be cancerous or pre-cancerous. The technology will allow for detection that might be missed.

Dental Implants

An implant is designed to replace a seriously damaged natural tooth with a “replacement” tooth. Implants are surgical, with excellent results - the “replacement” tooth feels completely natural.

Dental Veneers

These are applied to the teeth when there is damage or decay. In porcelain or composite, veneers are designed to fit completely over the teeth, and are intended to improve aesthetic appearance.

Emergency Services

For unexpected accidents and dental emergencies, immediate care and attention is essential.  Dr. Pedvis, and the Mackenzie dental team provide the best possible dental care, in the timeliest manner.

“Wand” Anesthesia

The Wand Anesthesia System is less stressful than a conventional syringe. Numbness is reduced, and patients can quickly return to work or home, without the usual discomfort of a numb mouth.

Periowave™ Treatment

Periowave™ is a non-invasive treatment that reduces gum disease. It neutralizes harmful bacteria that are the cause of gum disease. Periowave™ is regarded as an adjunct to periodontal care.

Dental Bridges

These are dental devices that fill the space where teeth are missing. Bridges are custom-designed to fit the patient, and will usually contain an artificial tooth as part of the complete device.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-Rays have a number of advantages over conventional X-Rays. With high quality images, these X-Rays emit less radiation, and allow for digital output that is available immediately.

SIROLaser

SIROLaser is used in oral surgery, root canals, and various periodontal treatments. The laser allows for more precision during a procedure, less swelling after treatment, and faster healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Have to See the Dentist Every Six Months?

In general, dental examinations will depend on the individual, and personal oral health needs. The objective behind a regular visit to the dentist is simply early detection – to identify small problems before they become bigger problems. For the majority of patients this will mean a dental examination every six months.

Do I Have to Get X-Rays During Every Dentist Visit?

A healthy patient, with a good oral health history, probably doesn’t need X-Rays at every clinic visit. However, in certain situations, the dentist may determine that more frequent X-Rays are necessary and required. Overall, dental X-Rays deliver little radiation, but where there is concern, a frank discussion may be appropriate.

Is Laser Dentistry Painful?

Laser dentistry procedures are virtually painless! Lasers can be used to replace a variety of dental tools that can cause some discomfort and pain for patients. Drills, needles, and scalpels can all be replaced by laser dentistry.

What Types of Dental Emergencies Require Immediate Attention?

Dental emergencies can be very unexpected, and being informed about those that need immediate attention is very important for your health and comfort. A severe toothache or a knocked-out tooth should be looked at by an emergency dentist, who will take you through urgent care.

Is Laser Dentistry Safe for All Patients?

Thoroughly impressed from top to bottom. Beautiful facility, state of the art equipment, phenomenal dentist Dr. Lloyd Pedvis is indeed!! Beyond knowledgeable and best of all is his calming influence. He has such a down to earth approach, I just find it reassuring and just don't have the anxiety that I've had with past dental work. Just moved in Vaughan and thrilled with our families new dentist and dental clinic!

Josh Katz

Dr. Pedvis and his staff are absolutely wonderful! My family and I are so happy that we have found him. He is absolutely amazing with young children. Both my kids needed work done and he was very gentle and patient. Both of them left his office happy and with great smiles! We are very happy we switched to Dr. Pedvis in Woodbridge.

Holly D.

Our Family has gone to Dr. Pedvis for over 25 years in his previous location. You are all so lucky to have him and his team to look after you in Vaughan now. I am a very complicated dental patient due to healthcare issues… I knew I was always safe with Dr. Pedvis!  I will miss your great stories, and trying not to laugh, as you work on my dental issues. Most people do not get to laugh at "The Dentist". Your new office in Woodbridge looks awesome! 

Dorothy McMahon

I have been a patient of Dr. Pedvis for 13 yrs now. He is the greatest dentist I've ever had. He's extremely gentle, listens to your concerns and is compassionate. I once emailed the woodbridge dental office with a severe toothache when it was closed. Shortly after Dr. Pedvis contacted me with my concerns, he called in a prescription for me to get me out of pain. He then took me first thing in the morning and did a root canal. I highly recommend this dental office to anybody looking for a caring dentist. Also the staff is fantastic and they truly care about you as a person.

Kimberly Oppermann

I have seen many dentists prior to Dr. Pedvis, so I believe I have ample reference points to say that Dr. Pedvis is at the top of his field. He keeps up to date with developments in the field, invests in the latest equipment for his office and is able to handle a wide variety of procedures, from simple to complex. He also maintains an equally top level network of professionals to add to his service capabilities if needed.

Christopher Omiecinski

I am pleased to share my experience I had at the office of Dr. Lloyd Pedvis. From the moment I stepped into the office, I was made to feel welcome and comfortable, by the friendly competent staff. I found the office environment very pleasant. Dr. Pedvis is an excellent dentist. He takes the time to explain every procedure, and is attentive that I was comfortable at all times.

Melissa Lombardo

Me and my family have been going to Dr. Pedvis's dental practice since 1995. He always performs excellent services, and is often available to handle emergencies. First class staff, as well. Their new location in Vaughan is stunning! Highly recommended.

Cameron A. M. Muir

Dr. Pedvis was so amazing! I can't say enough good things about him. Not only did he get me in quickly for a root canal (replying on a Sunday to my plea for help!). He was so great about addressing my pain and understanding my irrational fear. His follow up after the root canal was absolutely amazing! I was shocked at his follow through and care for his patients even after the procedure. I would recommend him to anyone in need of dental work.
