Can a smile really transform a life?

We are confident that once you read Jason's Story, you will agree with us when we say that the answer to that question is an absolute "Yes"!

By the age of 25, Jason Jones had lost all but two of his teeth because he could not afford proper dental care growing up.  He became an oddity; a young man with empty, sunk-in, elderly cheeks.  His appearance suppressed his naturally gregarious ways, and limited his ability to find work.

The Toronto Star published Jason's Story in 2007.  It was then that a patient of Dr. Raj Singh (of Unionville, Ontario) asked him to to have a look at Jason because she was convinced that the treatments that Dr. Singh offered could change Jason's life.  With the support of his laboratory and his implant supplier, Dr. Singh and his team offered to help Jason.

Jason agreed and the rest, as they say, is history.  The remarkable results of a what would be considered a relatively simple treatment plan, transformed Jason's life forever!  His story then became the subject of a front-page article in the Toronto Star shortly thereafter.

By paying meticulous attention to Jason's facial proportions, as well as the support needed for the lips and cheeks, Dr. Singh created restorations that not only restored Jason's ability to chew normally (as he had been reduced to eating a very soft diet), but also radically transformed his appearance!  Most people would agree that Jason looked 20 years younger than he did before his treatment.

"I can't believe it!", Jason said upon seeing himself in the mirror after his restorations had been placed.  "No one is going to recognize me.  I don't know what to say.  I just want to keep smiling!"

Four years later, Jason't life has changed radically.  He is married now, has two beautiful young daughters, a steady job, and his own house.  "He exemplifies what we truly believe at Vitality.  That is, the tools and techniques that we have in modern dentistry can be life changing", says Dr. Singh.  "Jason's dramatic transformation caught the eye of the Toronto Star, but every day we help other patients improve their confidence, self-esteem, ability to function and overall health!", he added.  "We help them look better, feel better, look better!"

Dr. Singh and the team of dental professionals at Dentistry at Vitality Health have been practicing in the Vitality Health Professionals building for over a decade and have been providing a complete spectrum of dental services to the Markham community for more than 23 yrs. In addition to the complete range of family and preventive dental services, Dentistry at Vitality Health features a large component of cosmetic, implant and comprehensive reconstructive services.

The Nobel-Guide System of computer-guided, minimally-invasive implant placement surgery is featured here along with the revolutionary techniques of “teeth-in-an-hour” immediate-implant placement, which sees fractured front teeth replaced immediately after tooth removal.  This procedure has completely reduced the time-frame and improved the results for patients. Those unfortunate hockey accidents can now be repaired in a single visit resulting in a stable, aesthetically-pleasing outcome.

CEREC 3D single-appointment porcelain crowns and restorations are also an integral part of the treatment options offered.

Cosmetic crowns and veneers are exclusively produced from Noritake porcelain which Dr Singh feels is the best quality, most natural-looking porcelain system available today.

Each patient embarking on cosmetic or reconstructive treatment undergoes an extensive assessment. This comprehensive facial and bite analysis provides Dr. Singh and the patient with insights that help facilitate the creation of a treatment plan that provides the client with aesthetic and neuromuscular harmony.

Neuromuscular dentistry involves positioning the jaws in their ideal position of muscular balance thereby minimizing or eliminating symptoms resulting from improper jaw positions and muscle spasms. Symptoms such as headaches, neck and backaches and TMJ (Jaw-joint) pain are often alleviated or eliminated when ideal jaw relationships are achieved. Facial aesthetics are enhanced by improving facial profiles and proportions of “upper face height” to “lower face height.”

The team of professionals at Vitality Dentistry is passionate about educating you on all of the possibilities that today’s dentistry offers, helping you achieve a stable bite and a gorgeous smile, and then maintaining this optimal health for a lifetime!
