New Patients, Aurora Sunrise Family Dental
Welcome to Aurora Sunrise Family Dental, where Dr. Dominic S.Y. Lau and our compassionate team provide family dentistry for patients throughout Aurora, Ontario, and surrounding York Region communities. We understand that choosing a new dentist is an important decision, and we strive to make your first visit comfortable, informative, and the start of a lasting relationship focused on comprehensive oral health. From the moment you arrive at our office, you’ll be welcomed by our friendly, professional staff and assisted with any remaining paperwork before meeting Dr. Lau, who will take time to learn about your dental history, discuss your concerns, and coordinate care with the dental hygienist, including a professional cleaning when appropriate.
Your initial examination includes a thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health, often supported by digital radiography and an intraoral camera to help you clearly see any areas that may need attention. Based on these findings, Dr. Lau will create a personalized treatment plan outlining options, timelines, and cost information so you can make informed decisions about your care. Our comfortable environment and clear, supportive communication are designed to help reduce dental anxiety while ensuring every member of your family receives thoughtful, preventive, restorative, or cosmetic dental care tailored to their needs.

Dental FAQs
What is dentistry?
Dentistry is the branch of healthcare focused on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of conditions affecting your teeth, gums, and oral cavity. A dentist like Dr. Dominic S.Y. Lau is trained in comprehensive oral health care, including preventive dentistry to avoid problems, restorative dentistry to repair damage, and various specialized treatments to maintain optimal dental health throughout your life. Dentistry encompasses everything from routine professional cleaning and oral hygiene education to complex dental restoration procedures, all designed to help you maintain a healthy, functional smile.
How do I choose a dentist?
When choosing a dentist, ensure they are licensed by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario and maintain good standing with professional organizations. Look for a practice offering comprehensive care for your family, from preventive to restorative and cosmetic treatments, and review patient testimonials to understand experiences with care and communication. Convenience matters, so choose a location that fits your schedule, and prioritize a dentist who explains treatments clearly, answers questions thoroughly, and aligns with your values, whether that’s preventive focus, family-friendly care, or a particular approach to treatment.
What services do you provide?
Aurora Sunrise Family Dental provides comprehensive care for patients of all ages, offering services that cover every aspect of oral health. Preventive care includes regular exams, professional cleanings, oral hygiene instruction, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and oral cancer screenings to maintain optimal dental health. Restorative dentistry addresses cavities, minor tooth damage, tooth loss, and infections through fillings, bonding, crowns, bridges, root canals, extractions, and dentures. Periodontal care treats gum and periodontal disease, while orthodontic solutions — traditional braces and clear aligners — improve alignment and bite. Cosmetic dentistry enhances smiles with veneers, whitening, and bonding, and specialized care addresses TMJ disorders and dental implant options for permanent tooth replacement.
How can I keep my teeth healthy at home?
Maintaining excellent oral hygiene between professional cleanings is key to long-term dental health. Brush at least twice daily using gentle circular motions with a soft-bristled brush, and don’t forget your tongue to reduce bacteria that cause bad breath. Floss daily to remove plaque and food particles from between teeth, and support oral health with a diet low in sugar and acidic drinks while including foods rich in calcium and phosphorus.
Regular professional care is essential, so schedule dental visits every six months for cleanings and preventive check-ups. Use fluoride toothpaste, consider therapeutic mouthwash if recommended, and explore sealants for children’s molars. Stay informed about proper techniques and address any warning signs like sensitivity or bleeding gums early to prevent more serious issues. Combining consistent home care with professional maintenance provides the strongest foundation for a healthy smile.
