I cannot believe that a week into my original treatment and my headaches that I have had for twenty years plus were gone. Finding many ailments from neck to lower back pain to a change in my smile (which was always one sided) be gone within a few months was amazing. I had been going to chiropractors, massage and reflexology for years including TMJ treatments to fix whatever was causing my pain. In one 10 day session, much of that had lessened and with each session until now I am 98% pain free. Its a miracle!

I've had back and neck problems for so long I just assumed it was something I had to "manage". Since my teeth have been fixed I don't have the pain, I had never even considered this possibilty. Furthermore, they look great and the color is great, I couldn't be happier!!

In the spring of this year, if i saw a dentist on television my stomache would cramp into knots and nausea would set in...I felt like the Eminem lyric, "Oh! Theres goes gravity!" My phobia of denists kept me from the luxury of filled cavities, a root canal, an implant and the removal of my wisdom teeth. My fear was so strong that I would rather live with the risks and pain.

Then, through divine intervention, i was introduced to Dr. Heit. She engulfed me with kindness and compassion, as did all the pretty ladies who work with her. I felt immediately safe and at ease. On my second visit, I was able to sit in the dental chair ( our goal of the day) and suddenly i felt ready to have my teeth cleaned! Already! Filled with being extremely proud of myself, I wore a cheshire smile for weeks! Now it is fall and i head to dental appointments with a spring in my step, knowing that soon i will be greeted by people who have become my friends and will soon be surrounded by the chatter of people who have found thier true path in life. Dr. Heit, Betty, Jenny and the others will make you smile and never stop.

With the extensive treatment and the deadlines imposed, you all were super to deal with. I've been recommending you to everyone... I love them!

My veneers are absolutely, naturally beautiful. My smile is fantastic! I see others with "chicklet" looking veneers and I am so grateful that Dr.Heit is so talented!! People tell me I have a beautiful smile now!!

After many years of neglect, my teeth have become discoloured. This coupled with crowding teeth left me with a smile that was far from pleasing. Thanks to the treatment plan by Dr.Heit, I now have straight, white teeth and a great smile. My only regret is that I didn't seek out Dr.Heit much sooner. I would encourage anyone to find out how Dr.Heit and her team can improve your smile.

My bonding has never looked better. Dr. Heit made suggestions that improved the look of my bonding and my teeth have never looked better. The difference is that Dr. Heit was aware of the importance of cosmetic dentistry and took the time to apply her experience to my teeth. I Love it!

For several years I have suffered from chronic neck and shoulder pain. In the last year, the pain at times had become unbearable. I experienced daily headaches, ear pain that wouldn't go away, stiffness in my neck and exhaustion. I was tired all the time and had absolutely no energy. I was back and forth to my doctor who could find nothing wrong, so basically I just learned to live with it. A friend had sent me information about Scotia Square Dentistry, and that they helped her with her neck and shoulder pain. Not once did I ever believe that the pain I had been suffering with had anything to do with my jaw, so I just put the information away. I continued to suffer for months after, until I just couldn't take it anymore. I had no where else to turn, so I decided to make the call. I set up an appointment with Dr. Heit and her team where they assured me that they could help. Finally, I discovered hope. Dr. Heit thoroughly explained to me what was happening with my jaw and how using an orthotic could re-align my bite and help my jaw. I got so excited to live my life pain free again. Since getting my orthotic (mouth piece) I feel great. Within days my pain was gone. It was amazing! It had made such a difference. It's like a new release on life. Thank you.

I was extremely pleased with the work of Dr. Heit and her team. I had not been to the dentist for twelve years and the whole experience couldn't have been more seamless despite the amount of work that had to be done. And the new fillings and crown look like they have always been part of my mouth. I was also impressed by the care and attention and good humor shown in all my follow-up visits. My sincere thanks to Dr. Heit and everyone at Scotia Square Dentistry.

As an individual who suffered the pain of TMD for about 5 years, and had gone through several orthotics and treatments over the years, I had essentially lost hope that I would ever feel good again. My pain consisted of headaches, neck pain, jaw pain, facial pain as well as severe ringing in my ears. TMD was taking over my life, literally.
When I met Dr. Heit, I was simply looking for a great dentist I could rely on for regular dental check ups. Dr. Heit immediately noticed my limitations as well as additional issues that were causing further discomfort. We discussed my history, when she informed me of the treatment plan her office provided for TMD patients. I was extremely hesitant given my background and I walked out with an, “I’ll think about it”. After a few more months of excruciating pain, lack of sleep, squishing my food flat to eat and hardly being able to put forth a smile, I decided to go forward with treatment.The team was enthusiastic about being able to help me, what was scary, was that my scans showed I was going to be a very difficult case. This worried me, but the team assured me they would help and work to make me pain free.
The relief I got from day 1 was outstanding! My first night, I slept a full 8 hours undisturbed!! That was a first in many years. I was SO happy! My attitude about treatment turned around immediately. Skepticism was no longer.
Here I am now, in Phase 2 of treatment and I never, ever, believed I would be able to put on a full smile again without pain or that the ringing in my ear would stop. Much less did I believe that I would ever be able to just pick up my food and eat without first squishing it.
Dr. Heit and her team are the most amazing dental team anyone could ask for; they are both passionate and caring about their careers. They have truly turned my life around in ways no one could imagine. I could never thank them enough for what they have done for me. Scotia Square Dentistry, your #1 in my heart….. and my jaw!

Out with the Old ... In with the New

Ever get the feeling that now is the time? Well that’s what happened to me.
I just finally decided that now was the time to get rid of my old fillings and replace them with the new (state of the art) ones.
Indeed those old fillings have served me well for over 25 years ... what more could I ask of them? But looking closely at those tiny cracks here and there suggested their time was up.
So after a "no pressure" consult with Dr.Tammarie, I decided to get them all done at once. Both sides. And I can honestly say I have no regrets. At first I thought it would be a huge ordeal and that I would have to take time away from work to recover. But not so. I just had to contend with a bit of "left over" freezing for part of the day and I was back in business (just try and avoid conference calls!).
Dr. Tammarie and all of her professional staff have done just a terrific job and have truly provided me with a very positive dental experience. Things have never looked so good.
