Most people don’t go looking for a dentist until something hurts. If you’re here, you might be new to the area, overdue for a cleaning, or finally ready to fix something you’ve been putting off. Whatever brought you — you’re in the right place.
DSV Dental Brooklin Village is led by Dr. Sohela Vaid, DMD, a dentist who grew up in a family of physicians and spent four years — and 786 pages of planning — building the kind of practice she always wished existed. One where you’re seen on time, where every option is explained clearly, and where the environment feels nothing like a clinical waiting room.
We’re located just minutes from the Ashford Drive area, close to Pickering Drive, on the Whitby/Brooklin border on Winchester Road East. We’re welcoming new patients of all ages.
What’s Different Here
Dr. Vaid doesn’t describe her approach as “gentle” because it looks good on a website. She’s built her practice around the idea that dental care should be an experience worth returning to — not something to dread and delay.
One of her long-time patients, Michelle B., put it this way:
“Dr. Vaid genuinely cares. She is professional, a great communicator and a real expert in dental disease. During my first check-up, she found a lump in my neck and referred me to the right surgeon immediately. I believe she saved my life.”

That’s the kind of attention you get at a practice where a doctor — not a rotating roster of associates — is in the room with you every visit.
You’ll always know what’s happening and why
Dr. Vaid uses digital X-rays and intraoral cameras so you can see exactly what she sees. She explains your options, walks you through tradeoffs, and then steps back and lets you decide. No pressure, no upsells.
The environment was designed intentionally
The clinic was built from scratch by Dr. Vaid with patient comfort as the starting point — spa-like surroundings, modern quiet-handpiece technology, and a team that reads the room. Whether you’re anxious about dentistry or simply busy, we adapt to you.
Dental Services Available to Pickering Patients
As a full-service clinic, we handle everything under one roof — which means no referrals for straightforward work and no starting over with a new provider.
- Preventive & Family Dentistry: Routine check-ups and professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, oral cancer screenings, and pediatric care for children of all ages. We recommend most patients come in every six months, though Dr. Vaid may suggest a closer schedule if you’re managing gum conditions or are prone to buildup.
- Restorative Dentistry: Tooth-coloured composite fillings, porcelain crowns, bridges, root canal therapy, and partials or full dentures — all matched as closely as possible to the look and feel of your natural teeth.
- Dental Implants: For patients missing one tooth or several, we offer complete implant therapy from assessment through placement. Implants function like natural tooth roots, restore your bite, and prevent the jawbone deterioration that comes with leaving a gap untreated.
- Cosmetic Dentistry: Professional teeth whitening, custom porcelain veneers, and aesthetic bonding to address staining, chips, gaps, or uneven shapes. We also offer Neurotoxin therapy for TMJ and facial aesthetics.
- Orthodontics: Invisalign clear aligners and traditional braces for teens and adults looking to straighten their smile discreetly or affordably.
- Sedation Dentistry: For patients who experience significant anxiety, we offer sedation options so you can get the care you need without the stress.
- Emergency Dental Care: Severe toothache, a cracked tooth, a knocked-out tooth, a lost crown — we hold dedicated time in our schedule every day for patients who need urgent care. Call us first.
