Smiles on Yonge Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry has combined orthodontic care and pediatric dental services into a single, integrated clinic designed to support families seeking coordinated treatment in Richmond Hill. This new approach mirrors a broader shift in the overall healthcare system toward more streamlined care models, where related services are delivered in one setting, thus reducing administrative friction and improving continuity for patients over time.

Oral health is a central part of long-term well-being, and healthy teeth and gums support everyday functions like eating comfortably and speaking clearly, and they also play a role in preventing avoidable pain and infection. Prioritizing preventive care and early assessment can also reduce the likelihood of emergency visits, minimize treatment disruptions, and support a more predictable care experience over the years.

For many families, the need for orthodontic and pediatric dental care overlaps across childhood and adolescence, which usually requires multiple care providers, separate or even conflicting scheduling, and repeated records transfers. By bringing these services together, the Richmond Hill clinic aims to simplify care coordination for households managing routine checkups, early orthodontic assessments, and longer treatment plans, as some treatment plans may span several years.

“Parents often have to juggle multiple appointments across different offices, on top of having to deal with busy school schedules and work commitments,” said Dr. Leila, Pediatric, dentist of Smiles on Yonge Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry. “Having pediatric dentistry and orthodontics in one place allows families to plan more efficiently, while also giving our team a clearer view of the patient’s ongoing dental and orthodontic needs.”

Integrated care can be particularly relevant in cases where early dental development and orthodontic planning inform one another. For example, pediatric dentistry supports preventive care, monitoring of growth patterns, and early intervention when needed. Orthodontics, on the other hand, addresses alignment, bite issues, and long-term functional considerations. When those services operate and collaborate within one clinic, providers can coordinate treatment planning more directly and align timelines around clinical milestones and family availability.

Smiles on Yonge’s combined healthcare model also reflects the growing expectations that healthcare providers communicate clearly and consistently across relevant services. Families often seek a predictable care experience, especially when children require multiple visits over time. The clinic notes that coordinated scheduling and shared clinical context can help reduce confusion for parents and support a smoother transition as children move from routine pediatric care to orthodontic evaluation and possible treatment.

“Orthodontic treatment is often a long-term process, and families benefit from consistency in how care is explained, documented, and carried out,” Dr. Rashed, Orthodontist of Smiles on Yonge Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry added. “When the teams work together day to day, it supports a more unified experience for patients and parents.”

In addition to a more comprehensive model, the clinic emphasized patient communication and service clarity, which is something that prospective patients increasingly evaluate through publicly available information. Like many local healthcare providers, Smiles on Yonge has seen patients reference online reviews when deciding to seek care, which only underscores the role of transparency and responsiveness in modern healthcare decision-making.

Smiles on Yonge Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry continues to serve children, teens, and adults in Richmond Hill with coordinated orthodontic and dental care designed around family schedules and long-term treatment planning.
