We are excited to welcome Dr. Temple and his patients to White Tooth Dental!
We don’t just treat teeth. We don’t just treat gums. We treat everything about your oral health. Everything in your mouth works together, so why shouldn’t we keep that in mind when caring for your oral health? Our all-inclusive approach is a hallmark of our general dentistry services in the Bloor West neighbourhood of Toronto.

The basis of our practice is compassion and a commitment to science-backed care. Dr. Kristina Pahuta, Dr. Ron Temple, and the rest of our team are not just dental professionals. We’re avid advocates for your health and well-being, passionate about making a positive difference in your life. Guided by the belief that knowledge is power, we prioritize informative and educational interactions. No matter what you came to us for—routine care, jaw pain, cracked teeth, or anything in between—our goal is for you to leave equipped with what you need to maintain your oral health.
When you come to us for your biannual exam and cleaning, we do a full review of your oral health. Your dental cleanings and checkups are like a physical for your teeth and gums. Our experienced hygienist will clean off any tartar or plaque buildup that you can’t reach with your daily routine. During your exam, we’ll check for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and even oral cancer. This is also your time to opt for extra preventative protection with fluoride treatments and dental sealants. As an added benefit, when you stay up-to-date on your visits, we get to see how your oral health is progressing over time, allowing us to potentially notice issues faster, provide more tailored recommendations, and essentially make your care even more personalized to you.
When we do spot a problem early, we can typically fix it with our composite tooth fillings. These adaptable solutions to damage and decay fit neatly into your tooth as well as blend with the other teeth next to it. By getting a filling, you can prevent a dental issue from spreading. This conservative approach helps us preserve the integrity of your tooth and lets you get results without invasive treatment.
Bad breath can be a sensitive issue, so the team at White Tooth Dental tackles your halitosis with tact. Deep dental cleanings go beyond the scope of regular dental checkups. Scaling and root planing (SRP) targets bad breath culprits on their turf: below the gum line and in the pockets of your teeth. Scaling removes the tartar and bacteria from your teeth and gums, while root planing smooths out the roots of your teeth. Together, these treatments not only freshen your breath but also treat gum disease, which halitosis is often a symptom of. Get clean breath and a clean smile, all with SRP!
Disruption to your daily life due to pain in your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) isn’t normal. If you’re waking up with jaw pain, having difficulty chewing, or hearing clicking or grinding when you open your mouth, you could have temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). Other symptoms of TMJ disorder include ear and jaw pain on one side of your face, headaches, and poor sleep.
Our dentists in Toronto, Ontario, can provide you with TMJ exercises to help loosen up your face and jaw muscles. Our office also offers TMD night guards. It’s hard to believe that a bit of moulded plastic could be so powerful, but these oral appliances can get right to the heart of what is often causing your TMJ pain. That’s bruxism, a.k.a. teeth grinding and clenching. By acting as a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, your night guard forces your jaw to relax and protects your teeth. Get a night guard that’s fitted to your bite.
TMD is one common cause of jaw pain, but we can investigate other suspects if you come in with mysterious soreness in your teeth or face. With our diagnostic tools, we can work to identify dental offenders like:
From there, we build a plan for your treatment that targets the specific issue while also protecting your overall health. Whether that means at-home remedies or interventions like dental fillings, restorative dentistry, or tooth extractions, we’ll aim for all-around pain relief.
Sometimes, a tooth’s got to go. Advanced decay, deep damage, periodontitis, or trauma can all make a tooth extraction necessary. Fortunately, the combination of our dentists’ experience and our sedation dentistry options can make the tooth removal process quick. We explain every step of the procedure, provide you with the information you need to decide on sedation, and perform the extraction gently. Afterward, you get easy-to-understand instructions on recovery. We’re also just a phone call away if you need help.
A cracked tooth is sometimes called a fracture. That sounds ominous, and while you do need immediate care for a broken tooth, White Tooth Dental strives to make the process less intimidating. It helps that we offer several avenues for cracked tooth repair, from fillings to crowns to even dental bonding. Instead of imagining an overwhelming ordeal, picture a personalized plan of attack. We diagnose how extensive the crack is, go over your choices, and take care of you in a blink.
Younger patients simply have different needs than adults. We meet those needs by offering specific dental care for them from our children’s dentist in Bloor West. We start by creating a welcoming and positive environment, helping to instill good oral hygiene habits from an early age. Our dentistry for kids focuses on preventive measures, including checkups and cleanings designed for small smiles, as well as fluoride treatments and dental sealants to safeguard against cavities. We know how to communicate with children in a way that makes them feel safe and understood. By laying a foundation of trust and good dental practices early on, we can help children achieve and maintain optimal oral health well into adulthood.
In the Toronto dental scene, White Tooth Dental helps every patient feel at home and receive the highest standard of care. How do we do that? By making sure that every facet of your care is connected. You can connect with us by calling +1(416) 766-4535 or reaching out online.
