About

Hello! My name is Dr. Flavia and I would like to welcome you to our practice. Let me start by telling you a bit about myself. I am a 1995 graduate of the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Medicine in Timisoara. After getting my degree, I practiced for several years in Romania. However, me and my husband decided to move to Canada in the early 2000’s. Once in Canada, I was admitted into the University of Toronto’s special program for foreign trained dentists and graduated (Honours) as a Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2005. One thing I have learned in the last 20 years as a dentist is that education and awareness are crucial. I want my patients to know what is happening to them by making sure to explain everything we do, and most importantly, why we do it. I do what it takes to make a patient feel comfortable so they can receive the treatment they need. My work philosophy is to perform result-oriented dental care while using proven and also up to date treatment methods. A patient’s oral health is more than just what happens in their mouth. That is why I focus on the overall patient well-being, with an emphasis on prevention. As a result you will see improved long-term comfort and a healthy smile. When I am not at the clinic I love to spend as much of my time with my husband Peter and my daughter Julia.

The staff were amazing! They were gentle and informative. They also let me know what they were doing before proceeding, and did everything they could to make me comfortable (watching Netflix helped to distract me as well). They are personable, and show genuine interest in my medical history to help tailor my dental hygiene to my specific needs.

Generally good experience. Appointment time was changed due to their scheduling problems but the actual visit was good. Front desk, dental hygienist and Dr. Gruesc were all very friendly and professional; the clinic was bright and clean, you can also watch netfix during the procedure, which might be helpful for someone who feel anxious about dental visits.

I'm not particularly squeemish and I have a decent pain tolerance. That being said, this was the first time a dental office offered a mild numbing agent during the cleaning. What a world of difference it made! I literally woke up to a shiny white smile! I left my last dentist because they bordered on harrasment with the number of calls I got to book a follow up. Not the case here, just enough for a friendly reminder, without feeling like I gave a telemarketer my cellphone number!
