"the office with the teddy bear in the window" Cosmetic Dentistry, Prosthetic Dentistry (fixed and removable), Implants, TMJ (Jaw Joint) and Muscle Pain Management, General Restorative Dentistry, Hygiene Cleanings, Gum Surgery, Nitrous Oxide Sedation (laughing gas), Snoring Appliances, Extractions, Root Canal Therapy, Bleaching, Athletic Mouthguards As a way of introduction and to welcome you, we would like to give you some background information about our practice and at the same time explain our basic office policies. 34A Main Street is a heritage building, and our office is now the longest serving dental practice in the Markham area. For over fifty years we have proudly served the Markham community. Dr. C. Gib Hunter came to this practice in 1959 and was joined in 1986 by his son Dr. Rory. G. Hunter. In 2005 we welcomed Dr. Kelly Sam Chu as an associate dentist, and together our goal is to provide the latest in proven technology and clinical procedures in an environment reflective of the character and charm of our historical building. We enjoy all facets of general dentistry and a major objective is to educate our patients to make them fully aware of the risk factors they possess for periodontal (gum) disease and future tooth break down, and to present any cosmetic and restorative options available to them. To help us achieve this goal, we have a highly motivated team consisting of two scheduling coordinators, a treatment coordinator, three hygienists and two certified dental assistants. They are more than willing to answer any of your questions or concerns and discuss the latest procedures available in dentistry today. Please feel free to call us or drop in anytime. Everything we do is a reflection of our sincere concern for you as a patient. Sincerely, The Hunter Dental Team
