About Essa Dental Centre
Essa Dental Centre operates on Essa Road in Barrie, Ontario. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.
Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.
Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.
Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.
A crown covers an entire damaged tooth — used when too much structure is missing for a filling to hold reliably, whether from a large fracture, extensive decay, or after root canal treatment. It restores both the shape and the biting strength of the tooth underneath.

Dr Cheeseman is the best! However Karen the office manager is unprofessional. She will harass you and will embarrass you in front of others. I feel for these staff, they walk on eggshells. You can feel the tension in the office. When Karen is finally gone I will be definitely be back! Thanks Dr Cheeseman for everything you have done for me and my family.
I cannot say enough about Dr. Cheesman and his amazing staff. I’m petrified of the Dentist, petrified! I switched to Dr. Cheesman approximately 5 years ago and he is honestly one of the most gentle Dentist’s I have ever met. He thoroughly takes the time to explain things to me and is so incredibly kind! His Dental Hygienist’s are also gentle and fantastic! His office staff is always smiling and wonderful to deal with. I cannot recommend Dr. Cheesman and the team at Essa Dental enough. Highly highly recommend!
Karen is the most unprofessional person ever! If you don’t want your name taken to collections avoid this place! I received a letter after 1yr of going there to clean my teeth that they are taking me to collections for $55. Meanwhile I provided my insurance and husband’s insurance which should cover 100% but for some reasons, my husband’s insurance company did not cover. I asked if she could just run the bill again that it must have been an error because it works at shoppers and everywhere else. She said “ I don’t have time to sit around for 30mins waiting for insurance billing” and I asked her but you would rather take me to collections? She said yes and hung up on me. I called back and ask them to remove my name and my husband from their system and paid out of pocket. Nasty attitude and zero customer service!
I am not usually good at the dentist, not my favourite place to hang out. I walked in anxious, but within 10 minutes of listening to the office staff and how happy the other clients were, I felt better. Once in the dentists chair, I was feeling more relaxed. Half hour later after getting my broken tooth fixed, I left feeling not stressed. The receptionist, the support staff and Dr Cheesman have a great attitude which helped relax me. I will make another appointment soon to have another tooth looked at. I am not worried about seeing this Dentist again. THANK YOU!
Today was my 3rd visit. Dr. Cheeseman and his staff are amazing. He explains everything he is doing. He is gentle and asks if you're ok during the process. I have high anxiety when visiting a dentist due to previous dentist being Neanderthals. But Dr. Cheeseman is so kind and professional that my visits at his office are easy on my nerves. Thank you to all the staff at Essa Dental Centre.
