Corporate Excellence Awards 2020

Jan20129 Dentistry with a Difference When it comes to healthcare, dentistry is often overlooked and ignored. However, in North York, Toronto there has been a revolution in the way that dentistry is seen. Under the stewardship of Anaida Deti, DentalX has earned Corporate Vision’s prestigious Corporate Excellence award for Most Influential Leader in Healthcare 2020 – Toronto. We profiled the company to spotlight just how it managed it. Just north of the Downsview Subway Station, DentalX offers something a little different to other dental clinics. With a high rate of immigrants in the area (46%), this clinic makes sure to place the customer first and foremost. Far from the stereotype of aloof and intimidating dental practitioners, DentalX boasts a multi-lingual staff of dentists and dental professionals that not only speak the languages of its clients, including English, Spanish, Albanian, but also engage with them at a personal level. The aim is to promote the importance of dental health while reducing the fear that is associated with the dental profession as a whole. The goal is not to induce fear into those visiting the clinic, but to encourage them to return thanks to an all-around positive experience. Beyond that, the intention is for all patients to be able to leave with a fresh and healthy smile. One of the major motivators behind this approach is founder and CEO Anaida Deti. Having visited the dentist at the age of 7, she didn’t attend again until she was 19. With fears of dentists having a lifelong effect on some people, she makes sure that all her staff take their time with patients in order to ensure that they feel comfortable in their surroundings. Family is always at the heart of the business, and there is a complete list of options and treatments to suit people of any age. It has certainly paid off, with the practice serving 2,500 patients with over 11 staff members. While her business has been a major success, it’s telling that Anaida wasn’t satisfied with this and wanted to go further. Many people do not appreciate the importance of healthcare, with many not seeing it as priority if they don’t have the healthcare insurance. As such, she partnered up with charities to give cleaning services, fluoride treatments, x-rays and emergency treatments to clients ranging from pregnant teenagers, young parents and their children. This work was done alongside her own ongoing program to provide free dental care to youth from families facing financial hardship. There are several options available from DentalX, as it offers the full range of dental services. This ranges from the standard options such as teeth cleaning, whitening and wisdom teeth extraction all the way through to more complex treatments such as orthodontic procedures, night guards and custom sports mouth guards as well as Swarovski tooth crystals. As a successful business, it’s no surprise that DentalX draws a lot of media attention, which Anaida is happy to use to promote good dental practice amongst the general public. She has gained coverage on Rogers Daytime Television, Sirius XM Radio’s What She Said, GlobalTV as well as writing for organisations such as the Huffington Post, Thrive Global and Inside Toronto as their dental blogger. At the end of the day, this is just another method of raising the profile of dental hygiene and creates an impressive amount of goodwill towards her business. DentalX is the heart of a revolution in dental healthcare, with a strong focus on making sure that people not only feel comfortable but welcome to come to the dentists. In some cases, this is changing years of ingrained ill-feeling, but with warmth and charm, the DentalX team are managing it one client at a time.
