About Smile City Dental
Based on Bloor Street West in the Old Toronto area of Toronto, Ontario, Smile City Dental is a dental practice serving the area. A professional cleaning removes the plaque and hardened tartar that brushing and flossing cannot reach, particularly along the gumline, and is the core of routine preventive care. Most people benefit from a cleaning roughly every six months, more often for those managing gum disease.
Affordable care means the practice sets out to make treatment accessible on a self-pay basis or through a payment arrangement, rather than assuming every patient arrives with comprehensive insurance. It is worth asking directly what options exist before assuming a needed treatment is out of reach.
General dentistry covers the routine and restorative care most people need most often — examinations, cleanings, fillings, and preventive checks that catch problems while they are still small and inexpensive to treat. Regular attendance, roughly every six months for most patients, is what makes that early-catch approach actually work.
Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

I’ve been coming here for 4 years. Great spot. Attentive staff.
I like this dental office very much. The dentists are very good.
Very friendly. My doctor is amazing
I let them pull one of my teeth about three months ago was not in place by the initial two visits now I’ve got fragments of tooth in my gum and they’re trying to tell me it’s my jaw growing between one thing in the next my most recent visit left me very upset. I don’t trust these people. What’s worse trying to get help with problems like this seems virtually impossible. what’s wrong with this city?
The service at reception is very good, Dr. Karim is very professional and provides excellent care...thank you smile city
The place isn't fancy, there might be a stain on the floor but the dentists are great and they will work with you if you don't have a dental plan and lots of money.
I have been to SC multiple times now for both an extraction + fillings. Dr. Sushma Nalluri is skilled at her practice and very kind. You will be treated with dignity and reassured throughout your procedure. Because this clinic also handles emergency procedures, you may have to wait longer than expected, but it is well worth it.
Literally the second time I made an appointment and was not seen. These people don't care about patients' time, their appointment schedule or customer service. Go anywhere else. This place is so disrespectful. And the last time I was there I saw a roach These guys deserve to go out of business
Amazing service very expert Doctors, Dr. Change Akbar is brilliant and very friendly doctor. Keep it up Guys 👍
I had an extraction done by Dr. Anil Tejani at Smile City in June 2024, and I’m experiencing severe and permanent complications related to the procedure. I assume it’s incumbent on dentists in general to warn or advise patients of complications regarding any procedure, pre, post, aesthetic, or otherwise. Dentists are tasked with implementing the absolute best treatment options available and informing the patient thoroughly so they can make an informed decision going forward. And failure to do so could cause serious harm and would, invariably, be considered an absence of duty. If I had known that I was at risk of suffering from permanent disfigurement, nerve damage or of losing up to 30% - 50% of jaw bone density after an extraction, I would’ve waited and delayed the procedure for further discussion. Later, I was absolutely crestfallen to learn that if there are no underlying issues, if teeth and gums are healthy, an extraction and implant procedure could be done at the same time, thereby completely eliminating the risk of density loss and bone resorption. And yet there was absolutely no mention of it. Dr. Anil Tejani could've easily referred me to another dentist. Whether he was able to do the procedure or not. This vital and life-changing information should’ve been communicated to me but was not. In fact, he really didn’t say much. He basically just pulled my tooth out with fervor, wrote me a Tylenol script and sent me on my way. Also, socket preservation (alveolar ridge preservation) is a dental procedure performed at the time of extraction to maintain bone density in the site where a tooth has been removed. An imperative and routine procedure, to ensure an optimum aesthetic result. It, also, was not employed or even discussed. Why were these options not available to me? I have since suffered permanent nerve damage and disfigurement because of the extraction. Bone loss due to extraction and lack of alveolar ridge preservation. Changes to my bite and facial structure, and I’m still having trouble speaking. My teeth have shifted and sunken greatly, lips are deformed and have lost sensation, and deep wrinkles have formed around my mouth. In an industry where patients go to great lengths and where an exorbitant amount of money is spent on restoring one’s smile. It's really important. In fact, I feel like this life-changing information was inexplicably kept from me. It's grossly irresponsible and I'm completely mystified. All of this could've totally been avoided, and Inflicted upon by a trusted health practitioner, no less. Something as seemingly routine as an extraction should have been done properly and to code. And socket preservation (alveolar ridge preservation) should’ve been employed, or discussed at the very least. I’ve suffered life-altering side effects from this. Including loss of income, severe depression, panic attacks and burgeoning agoraphobia. I’m an actor and this procedure has done irreparable harm to my appearance, career and my ability to make a living going forward. They’re all smiles at Smile City. But a danger. Stay away!
"I had a great experience at this clinic. The staff at the front desk were very welcoming. A special thank you to Dr. Akbar for being so gentle and professional during my teeth cleaning. He made me feel comfortable and did an excellent job. I highly recommend him!"
Horrible Dentists. Don’t bother making it on time to any appointment since they make you wait either way. First they pulled out the wrong tooth that didn’t even have a cavity and told me to come back to do the fillings. I book an appointment and come in today and wait only for the Dentist to tell me that they don’t cover fillings. Which is a lie. They do cover fillings. They just don’t want to do it because OW doesn’t pay them properly for it which is understandable but why waste my time and make me book a second appointment? They knew all this from my first visit and were willing to work on my teeth but this second visit they had a change of heart and didn’t feel like helping me anymore. Thanks for wasting my time. My first visit I genuinely thought they were good people but now I know they just care about money and are willing to butcher your mouth just so they don’t have to do a filling.
