About Our Practice
Dental anxiety, or fear of the dentist, shouldn't keep a patient from receiving necessary oral care. Asleep for Dentistry is here to help. At our Burlington dental clinic, we specialize in various methods of anxiety management, including sedation dentistry, so that our patients can comfortably receive the dental treatment they need.
Our goal is to reduce the amount of anxiety associated with dental treatment. Sleep dentistry is a safe and practical means to reduce anxiety. Our staff is extensively trained to provide patients with the professional care and attention they need to make their visit as simple and comfortable as possible. We customize the type of sedation to each patient in order to meet their individual needs, while doing so safely and effectively.
Ask your dentist if a visit to us is right for you, or contact us to schedule a consultation! We are always happy to hear from new patients.
After receiving his master's degree in Pharmacology from the University of Toronto, Dr. Samuel Toong entered dental school at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. He continued advanced training at York Hospital (WellSpan Health) in York, Pennsylvania, where he obtained training in paediatric oral sedation as well as IV moderate sedation.
He returned to Canada with a focus in treating primarily children and anxious dental patients. Later he returned to peruse specialty training in Dental Anaesthesia at the University of Toronto. The 3-year program involved training at some of Toronto's most prestigious centers, including the Hospital of Sick Children, Sunnybrook Health Centre, Toronto Western Hospital and Toronto East General Hospital. Besides private practice, Dr. Toong teaches anaesthesia as an Associate at the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Toronto.
