About

What do an airplane, engine, and spaceship have to do with dentistry? Nothing, so it seems. But this was the path that eventually took Dr. Baik to where he is today. He completed his degree in Mechanical Engineering from Concordia University, and was set on this career path until he realized his love for craftsmanship and his natural dexterity were not being fully utilized. So, he put down his drafting pencil and set his sights on dentistry. He scored amongst the top in Canada on the dental aptitude exam, which landed him a placement at McGill University Dental School. While at McGill, he was hand selected to teach dental admissions preparatory courses to students, based on his exceptional sculpting and modelling skills. Now in retrospect, the two seemingly different disciplines actually intersect and even complement each other: like engineering, dentistry relies on complex problem solving and a practical approach to building and restoration. After graduating, he moved to Ontario and associated at busy offices in Port Colborne, Hamilton and Toronto. NYS Dental is his current private practice and is located in the hub of North York. He is an active member of the Ontario Dental Association, Canadian Dental Association, Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario, the Integrative Dental Implant Academy and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. The doctor stays current by continually receiving training and education on the most advanced procedures and technologies available today. Dr. Baik is respected by patients for his outstanding attention to detail and high level of care. “It’s in the small things that matter. It should look natural and crafted carefully, whether it be a colour selection for a veneer, or the shape of a crown”, according to Dr. Baik. He is open to feed back and responds to patients’ emails and calls. “I’m not just building a practice, I’m building relationships”, says Dr. Baik. Having practiced over a decade in dentistry, he is still as passionate about his work today as when he first started. What makes things exciting is the constant evolving nature of dentistry and the case by case uniqueness each patient presents. Every day affords a new opportunity for Dr. Baik to challenge himself and remain firm in his commitment to his patients and the profession. He looks forward to the future of this practice and being a part of your trusted health team for many years to come.

Dr. John Baik was extremely patient. He took his time to clean my teeth and explain everything to me. Very friendly. He made me feel very comfortable. Definitely going back to him!

Professional and detailed. Going to dentist can be a bad experience but he made it a comfortable one!

Great attention to detail

Both dentist and assistant were amazingly understanding people. I was late by 5 minutes because I got lost, but they still took me in. Even the scaling was done by Dr. Baik and he even provided recommendations and quotes for bite plates for my clenching problem.

Great experience. First time at NYS Dental and I will definitely be coming back. The office was clean and I appreciate the time Dr Baik spent assessing my overall dental health prior to the cleaning. He addressed all my questions and my teeth have never felt more clean!

Dr. Baik was great - he explained everything thoroughly and made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. Will definitely be going back!

Dr. John Baik and assistant were welcoming and able to answer my questions to the full extent. Dr. Baik carried out the exam with ease and with explanations of what was happening.

Had a great experience at this dental clinic. Dr. Baik was thorough and did a great job of explaining what he was checking for/what his findings were throughout the examination. This is something I have not received at other clinics and really stood out to me. Would recommend.

Dr Baik is very attentive and willing to answer my questions. He showed a scan of my teeth and explained of there is a potential problem. The cost is claimed directly to insurer which saved me that step. Overall i had nice experience at his clinic.

Dr. Baik was very nice and very thorough, explaining the whole time what he was doing. He checked my lymph nodes, asked what brought me to his office that day, patiently explained what he was doing, and then did a routine cleaning that was relatively painless. (My old dentist was often very rough and would leave me with bleeding, sore gums.) I can't say enough good things about my visit. I was so glad I went!

Dr Baik is a great Dentist. He is very thorough and friendly.

It was a good appointment with a new patient exam and scaling. Nothing to complain about.

great information good amount of equipment and variety of services friendly gentle with cleaning

Everything was perfect!

Gentle, very professional.

Good

He actually did all the work which i appreciate. Usually they have the assitant clean your teeth.

This is my first time visiting Dr. John. He is very professional and genuine in my opinion. He was explaining to me regarding my teeth situation throughout the examination, and I felt my teeth are very well cleaned without any discomfort afterward :)

I haven't seen a dentist in over 10+ years and believe me, I was super nervous and my anxiety was a bit above average. I hated the dentist and I had avoided mine like the plague because of my bad experiences. Dr. Baik and Vanja were professional, attentive and went out of their way to calm my nerves every step of the way. They spent some time talking to me about my concerns or worries and they took their time to explain everything to me before we proceeded. Dr. Baik was extremely patient, understanding and thorough with my cleaning. He checked in with me ever so often to make sure I was okay and the cleaning was amazing and most importantly, painless (I was so happy I could cry)!

Great experience

Dr. John Baik, was thorough in checking my lymph nodes and overall oral health before he started cleaning my teeth. He was also thorough in cleaning my teeth.

They made my overall experience great - Dr. Baik took his time in cleaning my teeth and taking me step-by-step on what he was about to do, so I was comfortable and felt safe. I will definitely be returning to Dr. Baik.

My dentist had disappointed me with his work, his fillings and root canal needed adjustments and I didn't want to go to him over and over again. I also have a cross bite which made things complicated for him and seemed to frustrate him. Dr. Baik was very good at figuring out where the adjustments were needed and very patiently worked on the problem areas until my bite felt comfortable. He doesn't seem afraid of a challenge!

Dr. Baik has been so meticulous from start to finish, he was probably the first dentist that helped me floss (and I have braces).

Very comfortable experience, Dr. Baik is very professional and will take good care of you. Very detailed in his work and his explanations and suggestions.

Dr. Baik and Vanja are great - very kind and accommodating, and provided options for other dental treatment that I did not think about. Good dental cleaning. Would recommend. Thanks!

Dr. Baik was very personable. He talked through everything he was doing throughout the appointment and explained areas of concern. Vanya was also very friendly, and the two of them made it a very comfortable visit. I'm thrilled to have found a great dentist in my neighbourhood!
