Your Thornhill Family Dentist for Every Age and Every Smile
Specialist-led family dental care for patients of all ages at 7191 Yonge St, Thornhill — from your child's first visit to complex implant surgery, all under one roof.
Finding a family dentist in Thornhill who truly sees every member of your household — from your toddler's first visit to your parent's implant consultation — is harder than it sounds. Most practices specialize in one area, which means more referrals, more travel, and more time away from your day. At MiNa Family Dentistry, located at 7191 Yonge St Unit 205 in Thornhill, we built the practice around a different idea: that one trusted, warm, specialist-led clinic can handle it all.
Led by Dr. Neda Kadivar, a general and family dentist with over 20 years of experience, and Dr. Mehdi Adibrad, a dental surgeon whose practice is limited to periodontal surgery, dental implants, and cosmetic surgery, MiNa offers a depth of expertise that most family dental clinics simply cannot match. We welcome new patients of all ages and accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), making comprehensive dental care more accessible for Thornhill families.
What Is a Family Dentist — and Why Does It Matter?
A family dentist is a general practitioner trained to treat patients across every life stage: infants cutting their first teeth, teenagers in braces, adults managing gum disease or needing restorations, and seniors requiring implants or dentures. Unlike a specialist who focuses on one area, a family dentist Thornhill residents can rely on serves as the central coordinator of your oral health.
At MiNa, that role is filled by Dr. Kadivar. With more than two decades of clinical experience, she provides preventive care, cosmetic treatments, restorative procedures, and Invisalign — all under one roof. When a case calls for surgical expertise, Dr. Adibrad steps in seamlessly. You never need a referral to a separate office.
This integrated model saves you time, keeps your records in one place, and means that the dentist who cleaned your teeth last spring already knows your full history when something unexpected comes up in the fall.
Dental Services for the Whole Family at Our Thornhill Clinic
For Children and Teens
Early dental visits shape a lifetime of habits. The Canadian Dental Association recommends a child's first appointment within six months of their first tooth appearing, or by age one — whichever comes first. Dr. Kadivar creates a calm, patient environment so that young patients leave with a positive memory rather than a source of anxiety.
We take extra time with nervous children, explaining each step before we do it and letting them hold instruments or see what we're using. The goal is a child who looks forward to their next visit.
- Professional teeth cleaning and oral hygiene instruction
- Comprehensive dental exams and digital X-rays
- Fluoride treatments and fissure sealants
- Pediatric dentistry and first dental visits
- Mouthguards for sports
- Space maintainers for early tooth loss
For Adults
Adult dental care at MiNa covers the full spectrum — from routine prevention to complex restoration. Whether you haven't seen a dentist in years and feel embarrassed about it (you shouldn't — we've seen everything, and we don't judge), or you're a diligent every-six-months patient, Dr. Kadivar meets you exactly where you are.
- Regular cleanings, exams, and digital X-rays
- Gum disease prevention and early intervention
- White composite fillings
- Dental crowns and bridges
- Root canal therapy
- Invisalign clear aligners — Dr. Kadivar is a certified provider
- Cosmetic treatments including whitening and bonding
- Direct billing to most insurance plans and the CDCP
For Seniors
Seniors have specific oral health needs that change as they age. Medications can cause dry mouth, which accelerates decay. Decades of wear and previous dental work may need replacing or updating. Gum disease becomes more common and more serious with age, given its well-documented connections to systemic health — including heart disease and diabetes, as noted by Health Canada.
Dr. Adibrad's in-house periodontal expertise is particularly valuable here. Rather than sending you to an outside periodontist, he handles gum disease treatment, bone loss assessment, and implant surgery right at our Thornhill clinic. Implant-supported dentures, full-arch rehabilitation, and bone grafting are all available without leaving the practice.
Why Regular Dental Checkups Are Non-Negotiable
Most dental problems are painless in their early stages. A cavity forming between two teeth doesn't hurt — until it reaches the nerve. Gum disease can progress to bone loss over years without causing significant discomfort. Early-stage oral cancer is almost always asymptomatic.
This is why twice-yearly checkups are the foundation of every treatment plan at MiNa Family Dentistry. During a routine visit, Dr. Kadivar or our hygiene team will clean your teeth, removing tartar buildup that brushing alone can't address; examine all surfaces of every tooth using digital X-rays; screen for gum disease; check for oral cancer; review your bite and jaw; and build your personalized plan so you know exactly what's needed, in what order, and roughly what it costs.
Catching a cavity at the one-millimetre stage means a simple, affordable filling. Catching it six months later might mean a root canal and crown. Prevention genuinely pays.

Meet the Team Caring for Your Family
Dr. Neda Kadivar — General & Family Dentist
Dr. Kadivar has been providing comprehensive family dental care for over 20 years. She holds membership in the Ontario Dental Association (ODA), the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO), and the Canadian Dental Association (CDA). She is a certified Invisalign provider and teaches internationally trained dentists at the ConfiDentist Group Centre — a sign of the expertise she brings to every patient chair.
Her approach is built on trust. She takes time to listen, explains every treatment option clearly, and never recommends a procedure unless it's genuinely necessary.
Dr. Mehdi Adibrad — Dental Surgeon
Dr. Adibrad's practice is limited to periodontal surgery, dental implants, and cosmetic surgery — making MiNa one of the very few family dental clinics in Thornhill with an in-house periodontist and implant specialist. He holds an MSc in periodontics, has published over 10 peer-reviewed articles, and achieved the highest score on the Canadian Assessment of Fundamental Knowledge examination.
When your family member needs more than general dentistry, Dr. Adibrad handles it right here — no referral, no wait, no separate billing relationship to manage.
