Welcome to UC Smiles Dentistry where we understand that a dental emergency can happen when you least expect it.

Our dental practices have been a fixture in the Brampton community since the 1960s and we are committed to helping our neighbors navigate these urgent situations with compassion and professional excellence. Dr. Huyen Ung and Dr. Adam Chow operate as two separate practices sharing a beautiful location together at 2 County Court Blvd near Hurontario and the 407. We prioritize getting you out of pain and restoring your oral health so you can return to your daily life with a smile.
We view emergency care not just as a one time fix but as the beginning of a long term relationship. It is our honor and privilege to service three or four generations of the same family and we want to be the dental home you turn to for years to come. By choosing UC Smiles Dentistry for your urgent needs you are gaining access to a dedicated team that blends cutting edge technology with a gentle touch ensuring that your immediate problem is solved with your long term health in mind.
At UC Smiles Dentistry we believe that the foundation of a healthy smile is prevention. As a practice that has been established in Brampton since the 1960s we have had the privilege of servicing three or four generations of the same family. We understand that preserving your natural teeth requires more than just brushing and flossing because it also requires protection from physical wear and unexpected trauma.
Whether you are an adult experiencing the stress of daily life through teeth grinding or a parent of an active child involved in sports our team oriented care approach ensures that every member of your family is protected. Operating as two separate practices sharing one beautiful facility at 2 County Court Blvd Dr. Huyen Ung and Dr. Adam Chow are dedicated to providing comprehensive preventative solutions that keep your smile intact for years to come.
Our commitment to cutting edge technology plays a vital role in how we fabricate these appliances. Utilizing diagnostic models and potentially digital radiography or on site CBCT scans when necessary we ensure that your appliance fits perfectly within your oral anatomy.
We understand that visiting the dentist can sometimes cause anxiety. If you have concerns about the impression process or fitting our compassionate team is here to help. We strive to create a stress free environment and for those with severe anxiety we offer Dentistry Asleep options ranging from laughing gas to general anesthesia with our in house anesthesiologist Dr. F. Charbonneau.
Many patients wake up with a sore jaw or a headache or sensitive teeth without realizing the cause. You may be suffering from bruxism which is a common condition where patients clench or grind their teeth during sleep. Over time this unconscious habit can wear down your natural enamel which leads to fractures and expensive restorative work or even tooth removal. As part of our Preventative Dentistry services we offer custom fitted nightguards designed to act as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth. Unlike generic over the counter options our nightguards are precision molded to your unique bite using our diagnostic modalities.
The benefits of choosing a custom nightguard over a generic version are significant. Primarily it provides superior protection by preventing the wearing down of tooth enamel and shielding existing fillings or veneers from damage. Furthermore a custom fit ensures the appliance stays in place comfortably allowing for a restful sleep without the bulkiness of over the counter options. Patients also frequently report significant pain relief as the guard helps alleviate the muscle tension associated with jaw clenching which reduces morning headaches and facial pain.
We are proud to serve a community of active families in South Brampton specifically serving the neighborhoods of Peel Village and Hurontario and the 407 area. For patients involved in recreational or competitive sports a mouthguard is a critical piece of safety equipment.
Dental emergencies often happen when least expected. A sudden impact during hockey or soccer or basketball can result in chipped teeth and soft tissue injuries or tooth loss. While boil and bite store bought guards offer minimal protection a professional mouthguard from UC Smiles Dentistry offers superior shock absorption and stability.
Because we treat patients from babies to seniors we can fabricate mouthguards for athletes of all ages. By investing in a custom mouthguard you are not just protecting teeth but you are preventing the need for complex emergency care or root canal treatments down the road.
We believe that protecting your teeth should be accessible. UC Smiles Dentistry offers direct billing to insurance and affordable payment plans to ensure you can get the appliances you need. Furthermore we are pleased to accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan or CDCP utilizing balance billing which makes it easier for eligible patients to access preventative care.
We encourage you to protect your smile before damage occurs. Whether you need a nightguard to stop grinding or a mouthguard for the upcoming sports season we are here to help. Please note that we do not offer weekend or evening hours so we encourage you to book your preventative appointments proactively to avoid emergency situations later.
A filling is a material packed directly into the cavity and hardened in the mouth. An inlay is a custom made restoration fabricated in a lab or via milling technology to fit the specific shape of the cavity which is then cemented into place. Inlays are generally stronger and more durable than large fillings.
An onlay is a more conservative option that removes less of your natural tooth structure than a crown. If your tooth is damaged but still has a healthy foundation an onlay allows us to save more of the natural tooth while still providing the necessary protection and strength.
No these restorations are typically made from tooth colored porcelain or resin that is matched to the shade of your natural teeth. They are designed to blend in seamlessly so that no one will know you have had dental work done.
Yes we welcome patients with CDCP coverage. We utilize balance billing and will assist you in understanding your coverage limits and any patient portion that may apply to these restorative procedures.
We prioritize your comfort during all procedures. We use local anesthesia to numb the tooth and surrounding area so you will not feel pain during the preparation and placement of the restoration. For anxious patients we also offer sedation options.
