Periodontist · D.D.S
Pediatric

Pediatric Dentist Coming to the dentist for kids — and, yes, even for adults — is no easy task. My goal is to create a kid-friendly environment where families feel welcome and receive care tailored to each child’s needs. I try to treat everyone as if I’m caring for my own son or daughter. Throughout an appointment I encourage communication — welcoming questions, singing songs to the little ones, showing families how to prevent cavities, and explaining each step of a procedure — because children pick up on the positive energy and thrive in that kind of environment. My approach is to give children a sense of control and to motivate them to look after their own dental health so they can head off problems as they grow. I look forward to seeing you in the clinic, where we can swap a few stories, hand out some high-fives, and make coming to the dentist a rewarding experience. Dr. Bhojani…

Endodontist · B.Sc, D.D.S

Gum Health Gum disease is quiet — until it isn't Nearly half of adults have some form of gum disease, and it rarely hurts in the early stages. Watch for the quiet signs: gums that bleed when you brush or floss, puffiness or redness, persistent bad breath, gums pulling away from teeth, or new sensitivity near the gumline. It's worth taking seriously beyond your mouth, too — gum disease has been linked to heart disease, diabetes control, and other systemic conditions. The good news: caught early, it's very manageable. Here's what makes us different: if your measurements suggest more than a routine cleaning is needed, our periodontist, Dr. Leonard Schwartz, is in this clinic — assessment, deep cleaning, and periodontal therapy all happen in one place, with your file walking down the hall to the right specialist.

Their FAQ

Answers from their website.

Do I need to renew my CDCP coverage each year?

Yes. Canadian Dental Care Plan coverage is reviewed each year, and you are expected to confirm that you still meet the eligibility requirements for the next period. That includes filing your taxes on time, since eligibility is assessed using your income information. Watch for renewal notices so your coverage does not lapse, and reach out to our Markham office if you have questions about how a renewal affects an upcoming appointment.

What is a co-payment under the CDCP?

A co-payment is the part of the cost you may be responsible for, depending on your adjusted family net income. The plan covers a set percentage of eligible costs at established fee levels, and households above certain income thresholds pay a share of the rest. Since the exact percentage comes down to your income, it helps to go over your situation with our team so you know what to expect before treatment begins.

Can more than one family member be covered by the CDCP at the same time?

Yes. Each person applies individually based on their own eligibility, so it is common for several members of a Markham household to be enrolled at once, children and grandparents alike. Everyone has to meet the requirements on their own, and one person's coverage does not depend on another's. Our front desk can help coordinate appointments for multiple family members enrolled in the plan.

Will my CDCP coverage cover the full cost of every treatment?

Not necessarily. The Canadian Dental Care Plan reimburses eligible services at established federal fee levels, which may differ from the fee for a given treatment. Depending on your income, a co-payment may apply too. Some services need preauthorization before they are covered. Our Markham team can go over your treatment plan and explain any amount that may not be covered, so you are not caught off guard.

What happens to my CDCP coverage if my income or job changes?

Changes to your income or employment can affect both your eligibility and your co-payment share. Gaining access to a workplace dental plan may change whether you qualify, while losing benefits could make you newly eligible. Since eligibility is reviewed each year using your income information, take another look at your situation whenever your circumstances shift. Our Markham office can help you understand how any change affects your coverage for care at Smile Studio Dental.

Where do I park, and how do I find you?

Parking is free and plentiful right at the building at 8500 Leslie Street, at Leslie and Highway 7. We're in Suite 220 on the second floor — take the elevator up and you'll see us. The clinic, including our bathroom, is fully wheelchair accessible.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring a list of your current medications, your insurance or CDCP details if you have them, and a piece of photo ID. You'll complete new patient paperwork when you arrive, and our reception team will walk you through it.

How early should I arrive?

Plan to arrive about 15 minutes before your appointment so there's comfortable time to complete your new patient paperwork without cutting into your visit.
