Treating dental issues right away can help keep them from getting worse and causing more discomfort. If you’re facing a dental concern of any kind, Dr. My Le, a general dentist at 16th Avenue Dental, is here to help. Our goal is to assess the issue, identify underlying causes, and provide appropriate, personalized treatment.
Common dental problems we treat include:
A broken tooth might be the result of a sports injury, accident, or biting down on a hard object. Even a small chip can be painful or affect the look of your smile. Even if the issue does not bother you, it’s worth getting it checked out, as the tooth damage may worsen without treatment. Fillings, crowns, or bonding are common treatment options we may use.
A fear of the dentist is a normal struggle, and we’re here to help you through it. While we may not be able to fully remove dental anxiety, we provide a supportive environment to help you get the care you need. Depending on your needs, we also offer sedation dentistry to help you feel more relaxed during treatment.
Tooth pain is one of the most common concerns patients come to us with. The causes can vary, but tooth decay or infection are potential issues. Our team uses digital imaging to help identify the source of your tooth pain and find a suitable approach, which may include a filling, root canal, or crown.
Even with great dental hygiene, tooth staining is common over time. Common foods and drinks, medications, genetics, and several other factors may lead to dull, yellow, or stained teeth. Teeth whitening is one option to lift stains and brighten your smile. However, we may also recommend veneers or bonding if whitening is not a suitable option.
An abscess is a painful, swollen bump on your gums, and it often has a white top (much like a pimple). Signs of infection should be assessed promptly, as an infection can spread. We can often get you in for same-day treatment.
An uneven bite can affect your smile. It may lead to uneven tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and more. We offer orthodontics to help align your smile and support its long-term health.
Tooth decay is often not painful until it reaches deep in your tooth, and by then it may require a root canal to treat. Regular dental exams help us identify soft spots before they become severe. No matter which stage your cavity is in, we can help with fillings, root canals, or another solution.
Missing teeth may significantly affect your dental function and appearance. We help you determine a suitable option for your tooth replacement needs to support your oral health. Implants, bridges, dentures, or a combination of treatments can help restore eating ability and confidence.
Your teeth do not have to hurt when they touch hot or cold foods. If your teeth are temperature sensitive, we can help you. If the issue is due to damage, we offer tooth repair solutions. In other cases, fluoride may help strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Le and her team for many years now and I can honestly say I wouldn’t trust my dental care anywhere else. Even after living in three different cities, I’ve always come back here and still feel compelled to leave five-star reviews.
Had a filling done by Dr. Le at 16th Avenue Dental and I’m very happy with the results. The work was done professionally and the filling looks completely natural – you can’t even tell it’s there!
16th Ave Dental is amazing! They are extremely welcoming and accommodating. If you have any anxiety or stress about going to the dentist, they will make you feel welcome at home. They will take great care of you.
If you’re a student at AUArts I totally recommend this place. They do direct billing and it’s very accessible by transit. I guess you could walk there if you wanted to.
Dr. Le got all of my wisdom teeth out (across two appointments). Everyone at 16th Ave Dental was super friendly and so kind.
I’m extremely satisfied with the care I received. The dentist demonstrated exceptional expertise and professionalism while ensuring I felt relaxed and informed. The staff were friendly, and the clinic maintained a high standard of cleanliness and organization.
Dr Le is always so awesome and efficient. I’ve been coming to her about 5 years now and I’ll always be coming back. Sherri was fantastic and the hygienist are great too. Highly recommend using these services!
Great clinic! Been here for 4yrs only switched because we moved further away, came back 2026, I would rather drive 40mins for this great dental service! Amazing team!
Amazing dentist, I’ve been going here for about 7 years now and never had a problem. It is very clean, easy to make an appointment and the staff is very friendly. There is free spacious parking in the back and lots seats and coffee in the waiting room.
