He strives to comprehensively treat individuals with a customized care that helps them become healthier overall. Born and raised in England, he is described by his patients as being exceptionally gentle, extremely approachable and very informative. Dr. Brach graduated from the University of Toronto with his Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1987. He has an avid interest in continuing education. Having taken hundreds of hours of post graduate courses in all facets of dentistry, with a special interest in cosmetic dentistry, the treatment of sleep disorders and head and neck pain.

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

Sheppard Village Dental is the embodiment of ideal dentistry. With an eye for aesthetic detail and the use of advanced technology, I create confident smiles. This is accomplished in an environment of friendliness, with a focus on excellence results, and most importantly a thoughtful sensitivity to the feelings and desired results of each individual patient we are privileged to serve. I has been serving patients in this community for over two decades and have earned a loyal patient following due to my compassionate, honest, and comprehensive approach to dentistry. I fosters a no-judgment zone where everyone is welcome and can expect to be treated with respect and receive excellent care that will yield long-term results for better overall health. If there is one word that best describes me and my dental practice, it would be authentic. I have always been committed to establishing a strong relationship with my patients by getting to know them and understanding their personal dental goals. Then I provides an honest assessment of the recommended treatment based on their unique needs and desired outcome. My approach to dental care is very holistic and takes into account all the ways your oral health is connected to your overall health. My philosophy of care is to make my patients healthy in general and not just in terms of their mouth. It’s based on whole-body health as opposed to just doing dentistry by itself. A healthy mouth is important for a healthy body. Your oral health and overall health are not separate from each other. Many chronic health issues originate in the mouth. Here we look at your teeth and gums to see if you have any potential dental issues that could become health problems, then we create customized treatment plans to give you lasting results. I look forward to meeting you soon.

What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?

I have a special interest in cosmetic dentistry and can give you a healthy, beautiful smile using the latest techniques and most modern technology available in the industry. From simple whitening, to implants that look and feel like natural teeth, to fitting you with Invisalign aligners, our team can do it all and do it well. With a dental laser, I can perform procedures that previously would have required surgery and a lengthy recovery. Laser dentistry enables me to perform certain procedures painlessly in a matter of minutes! The state-of-the-art Waterlase Dental Laser can be used for extractions, gum treatments, bone regeneration, periodontal work, and much more. Painless procedures done in minutes without prolonged recovery time— that’s the power of modern dentistry at Sheppard Village Dental. We also have a CEREC machine that allows me to create a crown in-house. This avoids the tedious process of using a temporary crown until the permanent one is completed and shipped from an external lab. Instead of a lengthy visit and biting into a goopy mold, I can create a permanent crown during your appointment using digital impressions with special computer software that will custom design your crown and send you on your way with it in one day. Investing in this kind of technology reduces the number of visits to the practice and makes our patients’ lives easier. Please be sure to visit our website at www.SheppardVillageDental.com to read more about all the services we provide here. I can truly treat any dental issue using advanced technology, my decades of education and experience, and my passion for excellent care.

What are you proud of in your practice?

Knowing what to expect at your first appointment will help you relax and enjoy the lighthearted and comfortable atmosphere we have created specifically to help you feel at ease. As soon as you step into the spa-like ambience of the reception area and see all the amenities we offer, you’ll realize that we’re different. Your visit to Sheppard Village Dental will be unlike any dental appointment you have had before. You will be welcomed into our modern consultation room where I will encourage you to share your questions and concerns right from the beginning. Do not worry about the frequency or quality of your past dental treatments. The bottom line is that I am pleased that you are here and look forward to getting to know you. My goal is helping you become healthier through excellent dental care. I believe in honest, open communication with patients, as this is a no-judgment zone. Dentistry does not have to hurt. Truly, it does not. Thanks to the modern technology in our office and the techniques I has learned, I can address dental issues of any kind without prolonged pain or discomfort. We offer sedation dentistry for anyone with high anxiety about treatment so they can relax and let us care for them. Because there is a robust and competent team of dentists, specialists, assistants, and hygienists working with me, you can count on getting all treatments for you and your family right here. You’ll have the peace of mind that all your dental care providers are communicating and collaborating to give you excellent care.

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

Dentistry for me in most gratifying when I can help patients that are tired of hiding their smile from others. They come to me because they finally want to do something about their discoloured, cracked, or missing teeth. I understand that making the decision to “get something done” is rarely an easy matter. That is why taking the time to understand my patient’s vision for their smile is my top priority. Whether they are interested in fixing a single flawed tooth or in completely transforming their smile. I am committed to helping my patients achieve the bright, beautiful smile of their dreams.

    Dr. Brach was very nice and took the time to walk me through everything he was doing and explained what he was doing. He also provided explanations for specific terms that are not common knowledge if you’re not in the dental industry. Overall, very satisfied so far.

Very happy with my initial visit and I am very excited to continue being in his care. Also to add, the staff at Sheppard Village Dental are so friendly and really make you feel at home. A great place to go if you are nervous about going to the dentist in general.

    From booking the appointment to my actual visit I had an amazing experience. All of the staff and Dr. Brach were extremely friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. I was overly impressed with just how thorough the exam was. No stone was left unturned. This gave me extreme confidence in the skill of Dr.Brach but also in the level of care I would be receiving. I am more than satisfied and would recommend Dr.Brach and his staff to everyone.

    I’ve only been to a few dentists in the past and my experience here after my first visit was like nothing I could ever imagine. A very thorough exam was performed and things were explained every step. All the staff members were extremely nice and helpful. I did not feel like I was at a dental office, but in a wellness setting. After the exam Dr. Brach explained things again to me and made sure I knew what they found, as well as creating a plan based on my specific dental goals. This was the factor that made me realize I found the right place for me.

    My first experience with Dr. Brach was amazing. I was in a lot of pain and they took care of me. My consultation was long but thorough. This is the first time I have experienced how thorough a examination is. They have all the high tech equipment and they really focus on YOU. The types of questions they ask is not standard with any other dentist, they get to know you so that they can make a plan to accommodate your needs. With no judgement or criticism, I feel absolutely at home with my care. I have already recommended this clinic to a friend. Thank you to Dr Brach and his staff.

    Felt valued as a customer, with the explanation of everything they are about to do / check. He teamwork and the hand off between each specialist was consistent and smooth. The technology used was really eye-opening, didn’t know so much was going on in my mouth and I could see for myself the little details on the screen that was right in front of me.
