About

Dr. Nilay Cakmakci joined our team February 2015 after successfully the completion of her NDEB Equivalency Process on her first attempt and has been practicing dentistry for more than 22 years in Canada and abroad. She had graduated with honors from Marmara University Dentistry Faculty of Istanbul. She is a very professional and dedicated practitioner, who is proficient in restorative techniques, prosthodontics and loves working with children. She welcomes all ages, young and seniors to our clinic. With a passion for helping others, Dr. Nilay loves to join volunteer dental missionary trips. She had recently participated in a trip to Guatemala, during which she had treated patients with low or no income. Dr. Nilay values openness and communication with her patients during the treatments. She wants her patients to be aware of the procedure that are applied to them as treatment. She guides and informs the patients at every step, providing a sincere and trustful environment.

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

Our clinic offers a complete, comprehensive dental experience for the patient and their entire family including seniors and children. All of our clients note that they feel comfortable in our practice. It is our duty to make the patients feel better not only by our treatment but also by our calm and peaceful approach. We not only strive for perfection in treatment techniques but patient relations as well. Our clinic proudly holds patients, who are confident with the treatment they receive.

What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?

I specialize in a variety of treatments, including but not limited to Dental Hygiene (Cleaning), Restorations, Extractions, and Root Canals. In our practice, we use laughing gas (Nitrous Oxide sedation) based on the preference of the patient. I believe very strongly in continuing my education and completing advanced training programs in Orthodontics to make sure I can provide the highest quality of dentistry to all my patients.

What are you proud of in your practice?

I am proud of the technology we offer to our patients. All our patients are treated with high-end technological tools and we provide the most modern treatment to our patients.

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

I do enjoy treating patients, who need immediate care. Relieving a patient’s pain is the priority of our practice. I also enjoy working with kids, as I am very comfortable to persuade a child and treat him or her with patience. I enjoy treating all patients coming to our clinic, either it is a simple procedure or a complicated one. It is a pleasure for me to see the patients leaving our practice with a smile on their face.

    Such a great experience at this dental office. It's easy to get to, accessible, the office is very clean and well-organized. The staff are the real star of the show--they're professional, kind, ask important questions and don't make you feel the usual "dental-guilt." Sophia is one of the best hygienists I've ever seen!

    I had a great experience at the clinic. The hygenist and Dr. Cakmakci were very thorough and pleasant. The new patient package, which includes xrays, cleaning & check by the dentist, was excellent value. Very busy clinic, so be prepared for a hectic feeling in the environment.

  • completely a dentist appointment
    Reviewed on August 31st, 2017  •  Verified patient
    I went into the office. Waited about 10 mins in the waiting room playing scrabble on my phone. I lost to the computer but it was on the hardest setting. I got called in by the hygienist. She did the lords work and cleaned my tarter and plaque covered chompers who hadn't seen the inside of a dentists office in many years. The dentist came in and informed me I have no cavities which was a big win for this candy loving floss hater. I paid their more than reasonable rate, set up my next appointment and was on my way.

  • A comfortable, friendly experience at the dentist.
    Reviewed on July 19th, 2017  •  Verified patient
    The front desk staff and the hygienist Sophia were friendly, yet professional. I started off my visit with a series of X-rays, then had my mouth checked for gum health. Then I had my teeth cleaned, scaled and polished. After this was complete, the dentist came in. The dentist was also very pleasant and had a look at my teeth and gums, she mentioned any concerns she had with me and suggested a course of action for treatment/improvement. After we were done with the appointment, I was able to pay with a prepaid credit card without a problem.

    I was nervous to go in for my check-up but Dr. Nilay was incredibly friendly and warm. My teeth were cleaned well and I didn't have to wait long before the appointment or when paying after. I was comfortable (clean, tvs and tons of natural light) and will be going back.

    I always enjoy going to the dentist and look forward to a high level of care. Dr. Cakmakci herself performed my cleaning and exam with minimal assistance from a hygienist which I found very unusual these days and a huge plus because the level of care and attention was high. The office itself is nice and clean and located right by the Christie Subway stop.

    Reviewed on March 9th, 2017  •  Verified patient
    I've had a number of issues related to cavities and fillings from my childhood, and always dreaded getting new fillings or fillings replaced. My experience with Dr. Cakmakci was the first time where I felt soothed and comforted through the entire process. She and the hygienist had a calming, friendly rapport and as a result, the procedure was 100x less painful and invasive than I remember from experiences with other dentists. Would highly recommend!
