In a city filled with dental clinics, finding the right one can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re looking for more than just clean teeth. Many clinics focus only on fixing problems after they happen, rush through appointments, or use outdated tools. At Eastside Family Dentistry, we do things differently.
Here in the heart of Scarborough and East York, our clinic stands out for blending modern dental technology with deeply personalized care. We’re proactive, not reactive—focused on helping you prevent issues before they start. We don’t believe in rushed appointments because we know that great dental care takes time, attention, and a team that genuinely listens.
At Eastside, continuous learning is part of our DNA. Our dentists stay up to date with the latest research and techniques, so you’re always getting care that reflects the best in the field. From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll notice the difference.
Here are a few reasons why Eastside Family Dentistry is the best choice for you and your family.
1. Experience: Meet Dr. Janjughazova
Dr. Janjughazova is the steady hand behind years of learning, global experience, and a relentless drive to give the kind of care she’d want for her own family.
She started her career at the Armenian Medical Institute, earning her D.D.S. in 2004. A two-year residency at Armenia’s National Institute of Health followed, then several years in private practice in Yerevan. After relocating to Canada, she took her skills to the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, graduating with honors. There, she also trained in Pain Management and Dental Radiological Sciences, laying the groundwork for the precise, patient-focused dentistry she practices today.
Dr. Jan didn’t stop there. She’s earned certifications in implantology, clear aligner therapy—including Invisalign and SureSmile—and dental Botox. She’s constantly in continuing education courses, staying current so her patients benefit from the best tools and techniques available.
Now with over 11 years of clinical experience in Canada, she’s honed a passion for every corner of general dentistry. Whether it’s cosmetic work like crowns and bridges or surgical treatments like implants and bone grafting, she approaches it all with the same steady philosophy: “Do no harm, do your best, and when you know better, do better.”
What sets her apart isn’t just her training, it’s her empathy. Dr. Jan treats every patient like family, and she doesn’t hesitate to bring in a specialist when it’s in the patient’s best interest. She’s also one of the few dentists in the GTA using the Solea CO₂ laser, a tool that makes routine treatments faster, less invasive, and easier to recover from.
Her path into dentistry started at home. Both her parents were physicians, and dinner-table talk often revolved around patient care and tough medical cases. While she first fell for the artistry of building beautiful smiles, she soon saw the bigger picture: dentistry touches every part of a person’s health, confidence, and well-being.
That sense of purpose and her trademark warmth is what helps even the most anxious patients feel at ease the moment they sit down.
2. Advanced technology that redefines your dental experience
At Eastside Family Dentistry, cutting-edge tech isn’t a luxury—it’s standard practice. We’ve equipped our clinic with dental technology that makes care smarter, faster, and far more comfortable. Here’s how we bring precision and ease to every visit.
Solea® Laser Dentistry
Forget the drill, the noise, and the numbness. The Solea laser lets us treat most cavities without anesthesia and perform soft tissue procedures without bleeding or stitches. Healing is quick, and anxiety levels drop fast. Only five clinics in the GTA use Solea. We’re one of them—and patients love it.
Orthophos S 2D/3D Imaging
This imaging system gives us razor-sharp 2D and 3D views for everything from implants to complex diagnostics. The smart positioning and autofocus tech mean we get the right image on the first try—without the awkward setup.
Primescan Digital Scanner
Say goodbye to goopy impressions. Primescan captures a full digital model of your mouth in seconds. No mess, no gagging, and no need to retake. It’s a huge win for crowns, bridges, and Invisalign prep.
Digital X-Rays
These low-radiation X-rays appear instantly on screen, so we can spot issues and plan treatments on the spot. They’re quicker, clearer, and much safer than traditional film.
CariVu™ Radiation-Free X-Rays
For patients who want to skip radiation entirely—like children or expectant moms—CariVu uses light instead of X-rays to catch cavities and cracks. It’s safe, accurate, and totally comfortable.
The Wand® Computer-Assisted Anesthesia
Hate needles? Most people do. The Wand uses a computer to deliver anesthesia more gently than a syringe. Patients often say they didn’t feel a thing.
EndoVac™ Root Canal System
Root canals have a bad reputation, but the EndoVac system flips the script. It uses negative pressure to clean deeper and more effectively, which means better results and a smoother recovery.
Our tech doesn’t just look impressive—it works. Fewer needles, faster appointments, clearer answers. It’s not the future of dentistry. It’s what you’ll find here, today.
