EAST YORK  TORONTO DENTURIST

East York Toronto Denturist Meri Paparisto:

“Dentistry is not just working with teeth, it’s about working with people. My philosophy -- Healthy Mouth • Healthy Body • Healthy Life -- is that today’s denturist carries a huge responsibility to help people live a healthier life. A strong, bright, and healthy smile can enhance your confidence, social life, and lifespan. Pretty important to me, and without a doubt, to you as well. Let’s get you smiling again. Twogether!”

East York was originally part of York Township, Ontario. Following the incorporation of the Township of North York in 1922, York Township was divided by Toronto, Leaside and North Toronto.
