PleasantView Family Dental

Dr. Ross Tam graduated from the University of Toronto Doctor of Dental Surgery program in 2007. For the first decade of his career, he worked in rural underserved communities, where he had to handle the full range of dentistry on patients with different needs (especially special needs patients). He worked in a sleep dentistry clinic, where he had to restore the whole mouth to a high standard and with no complications. As deep sedation and general anaesthesia have their own risks, Dr. Tam worked hard to try to “wean” patients off of sleep dentistry. Through his calming demeanor, gentle techniques and quick clinical skills, he was able to eliminate the fear and anxiety on most of these patients to accept awake dentistry regularly.

Dr. Tam also has a deep interest in surgical procedures (wisdom teeth, bone grafting to achieve long lasting dental implant stability, gum disease treatment, etc..), in managing bruxism (bite equilibration, TMJ, rehabilitation of severely worn down teeth) & in children dentistry (first dental visit, filling, extraction, autism).

Dr. Tam find satisfaction in being able to take care of his patient every step of the way. From when the patient walk in with that severely broken tooth, to when the patient regain his/her full smile with no fear of dentistry and with full confidence that he/she has received the best, long-lasting treatment possible.
