Why Orleans Families Choose Trillium Dental

Choosing a dentist is about more than choosing a clinic. It means choosing a team you'll rely on for years. At Trillium Dental Orleans, routine cleanings, cosmetic work, gum surgery, and implants all happen under one roof, with the same people who already know your dental history.

Many of our patients find us through a neighbour, a colleague or a relative who has been coming for years. We treat that trust as something we earn at every appointment, whether you live around the corner or drive in from Cumberland, Navan or Blackburn Hamlet.

In-House Periodontist, Implants and Gum Surgery

Most general clinics refer gum surgery and implant placement to a specialist elsewhere. At our Orleans dental clinic, Dr. Freddy Fokam provides periodontal treatment and implant surgery right here on Mer Bleue Road. You don't need a separate referral, and your complex care stays with the team that knows your file.

Same-Day Family Appointments

We book families back-to-back, so kids, parents, and grandparents can all be seen on the same afternoon. That means one trip instead of several across the week.

Dental Care in English or Spanish

Dr. Yamisleidis Aguilar sees patients in both English and Spanish. If you'd rather talk about your diagnosis and treatment plan in Spanish, just let us know when you book.

We Explain Before We Recommend

We show you what we see on your X-rays and in your mouth, explain your options clearly, and answer your questions before you make any treatment decision.

Coverage Confirmed Before You Arrive

We confirm your dental insurance or CDCP coverage before your appointment, so you know what to expect before treatment starts.

New Patients Welcome at Trillium Dental Orleans

We're accepting new patients, individuals, families, and CDCP participants at our Orleans dental clinic. Contact us today.

Dental Services in Orleans

From routine checkups to implants and Invisalign, our Orleans dental clinic covers your family's oral health at every age.

General Dentistry

Exams, cleanings, digital X-rays and fillings form the foundation of your care, helping us spot small changes before they become bigger problems. Learn more about general dentistry.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Veneers and bonding can improve the shape, colour, and minor imperfections of your teeth. Explore cosmetic dentistry in Orleans.

Family Dentistry

We see children, teens, adults and seniors, and we can book family members back-to-back on the same afternoon. Read about family dentistry at Trillium Dental.

Emergency Dentistry

A broken tooth, lost filling or sudden pain needs prompt attention. Call us, and we'll work out how quickly you need to be seen. Visit our Orleans emergency dentist page.

Preventive Dentistry

Brushing and flossing can't remove hardened tartar. Our hygienists clean the areas you can't reach, check for early signs of decay and gum disease, and show you simple ways to improve your routine at home. See our preventive dental care.

Restorative Dentistry

Crowns and bridges repair damaged teeth so you can eat and speak comfortably again. Read about restorative dentistry.

Sedation Dentistry

If dental visits make you anxious, sedation options are available when appropriate. Find out about sedation dentistry in Orleans.

Teeth Whitening

Professional whitening lifts stains from coffee, tea and everyday foods for a brighter, natural-looking smile. Learn about teeth whitening in Orleans.

Tooth Extraction

 

When a tooth can't be saved, we remove it gently and talk you through replacement options. Read about tooth extraction in Orleans.

Dentures

Custom full and partial dentures restore your smile and your ability to chew with confidence. See dentures in Orleans.

Dental Implants

 

Implants replace missing teeth with a stable, natural-looking result, placed in-house by our periodontist. Learn about dental implants in Orleans.

Invisalign

Clear aligners straighten your teeth discreetly, without metal braces. See Invisalign in Orleans.

Bleeding Gums Aren't Normal: Advice from Our Orleans Periodontist

The most common gum disease pattern Dr. Fokam sees in Orleans is a slow one. It develops over years, often without pain, so patients don't realize anything is wrong. Early warning signs include:

  • Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
  • Swollen, tender, or sensitive gums
  • Bad breath that doesn't go away

Many people only come in once they notice bigger changes: gum recession, loose or shifting teeth, or a bite that feels different. By then, the disease is often more advanced.

"I always tell patients that bleeding gums shouldn't simply be considered normal. It can be an early warning sign, and the sooner we identify the problem, the more options we have to manage it effectively." (Dr. Freddy Fokam, Periodontist)

The good news is that gum disease is often manageable when it's caught early. Regular checkups, good home care, and professional monitoring make a real difference. If your gums bleed regularly, book a gum health check.

Meet Our Orleans Dentists

Dr. Yamisleidis Aguilar - Orléans Dentist

Dr. Yamisleidis Aguilar

General Dentist

Dr. Aguilar has been practising dentistry since 1995. She began her career in Havana before immigrating to Canada and earned her Canadian dental licence through the NDEB in 2018. At our Orleans clinic, she provides general, restorative, and cosmetic care for patients of all ages, and she sees patients in English and Spanish.

Patients notice her approach first: she listens, explains what she's seeing before recommending anything, and never rushes. She treats many families across generations and makes a point of keeping children's visits relaxed.

"When a child leaves the office feeling proud rather than nervous, that's a wonderful feeling." (Dr. Yamisleidis Aguilar)

Dr. Freddy Fokam

DDS, MSc (Perio), FRCD(C), Periodontist

Dr. Fokam earned his DDS from the University of Lille in France and a Master's degree in Periodontics from Dalhousie University, where his three-year residency focused on dental implants and periodontal microsurgery. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada.

Before specializing, he completed a two-year hospital internship in oral surgery and spent five years in general dentistry in Quebec. At our Orleans location, he provides periodontal treatment and implant surgery. He takes the time to make sure patients understand their options and feel comfortable at every step.

Nervous About the Dentist? You're Not Alone

Some patients come to us after a difficult experience elsewhere, unsure they'll ever feel at ease in a dental chair again. Others have put off a small problem because they worried it would mean expensive or extensive work. Unfortunately, waiting often lets a small cavity grow into something that needs more involved treatment.

Tell us how you're feeling when you book. We'll slow things down, explain each step before we do it, and make sure you feel in control. Sedation is available when appropriate. We've seen anxious patients who had been avoiding dental care leave excited about looking after their smile.

Dental Insurance, CDCP and Payment Options

Costs are always explained before treatment begins.

  • Dental insurance: We submit your claim electronically. Most patients are reimbursed within three to five business days, often by direct deposit.
  • Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP): Our Orleans dentists accept the CDCP. Mention your coverage when you book, and we'll confirm what's included before your visit.
  • Payment: We're a fee-for-service practice accepting Visa, Mastercard, American Express, debit, and cash. Your treatment plan is based on what's best for your oral health, not on what a plan will reimburse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions before your first visit? Our team of family dentists in Orleans has the answers you need to book with confidence.

Is Trillium Dental accepting new patients in Orleans?

Yes. Our Orleans clinic is welcoming new patients, including individuals, families and CDCP patients. You can book by phone at 613-830-3033 or through our online scheduler.

What dentist in Orleans accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan?

Trillium Dental Orleans accepts the CDCP. Let us know you're on the plan when you book, and we'll confirm your coverage before your appointment.

Do I need a referral to see a periodontist in Orleans?

No. Dr. Fokam, our periodontist, works at our Mer Bleue Road clinic, so you can be seen for gum disease treatment or implant consultations without a separate referral.

Is there a Spanish-speaking dentist in Orleans?

Yes. Dr. Yamisleidis Aguilar sees patients in both English and Spanish.

How often should I visit an Orleans dentist for a checkup?

Most people visit twice a year. If your teeth or gums need closer monitoring, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits. If your mouth is very healthy, a longer interval may be fine.

My teeth don't hurt. Do I still need a checkup?

Yes. Cavities and gum disease often develop without pain in the early stages. Regular visits catch problems while they're still small and simpler to treat.

My gums bleed when I brush or floss. Is that normal?

No. Bleeding can be an early sign of inflammation or gum disease, and stopping flossing won't fix it. Book a checkup so we can find the cause.

Do your Orleans dentists treat children and the whole family?

Yes. We see patients of all ages and can book family members back-to-back on the same afternoon.

What if I feel nervous about going to the dentist?

Tell us when you book. We'll go at your pace, explain each step and make sure you feel comfortable. Sedation options are available when appropriate.

Can I get an emergency dental appointment in Orleans?

Call our Orleans team as soon as possible. We'll ask about your symptoms and help decide how quickly you need to be seen.

I was in so much pain, and they got me in the same day. Super nice staff and Dr Aguilar is professional and kind. I recommend them 110%!!! Edit : I went again today to finish my extractions. Again, the staff they are ALL amazing. Dr Aguilar is so wonderful. We all had a good laugh because of my 5 years old saying “For real?” when he ask if all of my teeth were gone.

This Dental office is very unreliable. They book you an appointment at a specific time and they never take you in at that time. The last 4 times that I have been there I was told it would only take a few minutes and I have been there for well over an hour, sometimes 2. Why bother making an apointment if the time really doesn't mean anything ?? Always get an excuse that the Dentist is running behind but I see that other patients are going ahead of me. Anyways, I would not recommend this Dental Office as there are many other offices that have much better service in the Orleans area.

Excellent front desk staff. Friendly and compassionate Dental hygienist was incredible, compassionate and very gentle. My anxiety stayed in tack. Dentist was gentle and lovely
I just came from my first appointment at this location and I’m so happy I had such a good experience with the whole staff starting with Flora at the front desk. Patrick was incredibly thorough and took the time to explain my X-rays, the cleaning process and to answer all my questions! Dr. Yamis was equally great - very welcoming and professional, and I give her extra points for speaking Spanish! 11/10 would recommend!
