Dr. Suja Prabhakaran – Brimley Dental Centre

Dr. Suja Prabhakaran and Dr. Kumaran Mayelam are a husband and wife team of dentists, and are the principal dentists of Brimley Dental Centre. Together, their team provides a high level of dental care to their patients, in a professional manner. Suja also teaches, as a clinical instructor at the University of Toronto.

Brimley Dental Centre is a one-stop shop with services that include implants, orthodontics, crowns, root canals, corrective jaw surgery for cancer patients, wisdom teeth removal, TMJ disorder, implants and bone grafts. The team also does a lot of cosmetic work, including veneers and whitening.

“Our patients are our number one priority. I always like to do a cancer screening of the mouth with my patients of all ages” Suja says. “This is an important first step in prevention.”

“We have also seen an increase in teeth clenching and grinding since COVID-19. This is a stress-related condition. We educate our patients about the importance of meditation and mindfulness to help alleviate the symptoms. A custom night guard can also be an important part of the solution.”

Suja and Kumaran speak English, Tamil and Hindi – which is helpful in an area with such a diverse clientele. Their regular patients often stop by with a treat or vegetables from their garden for their staff to enjoy.

Suja and Kumaran have two children and the family likes to travel. During the pandemic, they discovered some local beaches for outdoor walks. Their kids are both foodies and together they like to cook Indian, Middle -eastern and Italian food. They also enjoy dining out.
