Looking for a dentist to stay with?
Maybe you've moved, your benefits changed, or it's been a while since your last checkup. Willow Dental Associates has provided Mississauga general dentistry for nearly 60 years, and one team that knows your history handles everything, including your cleanings, fillings, and crowns.
What does general dentistry include?
Regular checkups and cleanings help us catch a small cavity or a cracked filling while it's still a quick fix. Our general dentistry covers checkups and cleanings, fillings, root canals, crowns and bridges, wisdom tooth removal, and frenectomies, without a referral to another office.

Cleanings and exams, explained as we go
Your hygienist reviews your medical history, screens for oral cancer and gives your teeth a thorough, gentle cleaning. Check-up x-rays are digital, and AI software helps read them, so we can point out what we find on a screen beside you. You'll leave knowing what's healthy and what to watch.
Preventive care that keeps small problems small
-
Sealants:
A thin coating seals the deep grooves of back teeth, a common step for kids.
-
Gum care:
Laser therapy and Arestin treat gum disease below the gumline.
-
Mouthguards:
Custom nightguards protect teeth from grinding, and sports mouthguards protect them during games and practice.
-
Fillings:
Tooth-coloured composite repairs cavities, and we can replace older silver fillings.
Root canals, for a tooth that's infected or inflamed
A root canal removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, then cleans and seals it so you can keep the tooth. You might need one if a toothache lingers, a tooth stays sensitive to hot or cold, or the gum nearby swells. We use rotary instruments, and most treated teeth then get a crown for strength.

Crowns and bridges, for teeth that need rebuilding or replacing
-
Porcelain crowns:
A crown covers a cracked or worn tooth, or one weakened after a root canal, and restores its shape.
-
Inlays and onlays:
These repair damage too large for a filling but not large enough for a crown.
-
Bridges:
A bridge fills a gap by anchoring a replacement tooth to the teeth on either side.
When the teeth beside a gap are healthy, an implant can replace the missing tooth without reshaping them.

Wisdom teeth removal, without a referral
Wisdom teeth that are impacted, partly erupted or crowding your bite can lead to pain and infection. We remove them in our office, and surgical extractions are a clinical interest of Dr. Quan's. For teens, an exam and x-rays help decide when removal makes sense, if it's needed at all.

Frenectomies for babies, children and adults
You might notice a baby struggling to latch, or a child who can't lift the tongue very far. A tight tongue or lip tie can make nursing, speaking or eating harder.
A frenectomy releases that band of tissue. We use a laser, which usually means less bleeding and a quicker recovery, and we treat every age.
Emergency dental care, for when a tooth problem can't wait
Maybe a toothache kept you up last night, or a crown came loose at dinner. We hold same-day emergency appointments during office hours, and you don't need to be an existing patient.
